Answer:
For c equal to 5/3
Step-by-step explanation:
For solve these, we are going to find and expression for a terms of c and determine for which value of c it is not possible to find a value for a. So, we have 2 equations:
0.6 = 1.5 ( a + c ( b + 0.8 ) ) eq. 1
-0.2 = -2.5 (b - 0.4 ( 1.2 - 1.5a) ) eq. 2
If we isolate b from the equation 2, we get:
-0.2 = -2.5 (b - 0.4 ( 1.2 - 1.5a) )
(-0.2/-2.5) = b - 0.4 ( 1.2 - 1.5a)
0.08 = b - 0.48 + 0.6a
0.08 + 0.48 - 0.6a = b
0.56 - 0.6a = b
Then, replacing this on eq. 1 and solving for a, we get:
0.6 = 1.5 ( a + c ( b + 0.8 ) )
0.6/1.5 = a + cb + 0.8c
0.4 = a + c(0.56 - 0.6a) + 0.8c
0.4 = a + 0.56c - 0.6ca + 0.8c
0.4 - 0.8c - 0.56c = a(1 - 0.6c)
0.4 - 1.36c = a (1-0.6c)
[tex]\frac{0.4-1.36c}{1-0.6c} =a[/tex]
Now, we have an expression for a in terms of c. Therefore, the value of a has no solutions if the denominator of the expression is equal to zero or if 1-0.6c is equal to zero. Then, the value of c for which there is no solutions (a,b) is calculated as:
1-0.6c = 0
1 = 0.6c
1/0.6 = c
5/3 = c
