In Exercises \(31-42,\) solve by the method of your choice. Identify systems with no solution and systems with infinitely many solutions, using set notation to express their solution sets. \(x=9-2 y\) \(x+2 y=13\)
Explain what is meant by the partial fraction decomposition of a rational expression.
Exercises \(47-50\) describe a number of business ventures. For each exercise, a. Write the cost function, \(C\). b. Write the revenue function, \(R\) c. Determine the break-even point. Describe what this means. You invest in a new play. The cost includes an overhead of \(\$ 30,000,\) plus production costs of \(\$ 2500\) per performance. A sold-out performance brings in \(\$ 3125\). (In solving this exercise, let \(x\) represent the number of sold-out performances.)
Find the partial fraction decomposition for \(\frac{1}{x(x+1)}\) and use the result to find the following sum: $$\frac{1}{1 \cdot 2}+\frac{1}{2 \cdot 3}+\frac{1}{3 \cdot 4}+\dots+\frac{1}{99 \cdot 100}$$
In Exercises \(5-18\), solve each system by the substitution method. $$ \begin{aligned} &y=\frac{1}{3} x+\frac{2}{3}\\\ &y=\frac{5}{7} x-2 \end{aligned} $$
