To solve the system of linear equations 3 x minus 2 y = 4 and 9 x minus 6 y = 12 by using the linear combination method, Henry decided that he should first multiply the first equation by –3 and then add the two equations together to eliminate the x-terms. When he did so, he also eliminated the y-terms and got the equation 0 = 0, so he thought that the system of equations must have an infinite number of solutions. To check his answer, he graphed the equations 3 x minus 2 y = 4 and 9 x minus 6 y = 12 with his graphing calculator, but he could only see one line. Why is this? A because the system of equations actually has only one solution
B because the system of equations actually has no solution
C because the graphs of the two equations overlap each other
D because the graph of one of the equations does not exist

Asmall (but heavy) particle placed in a glass of water will follow a zigzag motion because the particle will bounce off of the water molecules it meets. this is called brownian motion. a physicist simulates this on a computer, by varying the distance a particle can travel (called the mean free length), on average, before it collides with a water molecule and assigning the change in motion to be one of 8 directions, each with a similar probability. by running the simulated particle (with the same mean free length) many times she determines that it should take 15 seconds, on average, for the particle to fall to the bottom, with a standard deviation of 1.5 seconds. next she lets a real particle fall through a glass of water and finds that it took 18 seconds. what does she conclude, and why?
