D. [tex]\left\{\begin{array}{l} 6x^2 - 8y^2 = 50 \\ -6x^2 - 2y^2 = 11 \end{array}\right.[/tex]



Answer :

To determine which system of equations is equivalent to the given system

[tex]\[ \left\{ \begin{array}{c} 3x^2 - 4y^2 = 25 \\ -6x^2 - 2y^2 = 11 \end{array} \right. \][/tex]

we need to manipulate the original equations and compare them to the options provided.

First, let's consider the original system of equations:

1. [tex]\( 3x^2 - 4y^2 = 25 \)[/tex]
2. [tex]\( -6x^2 - 2y^2 = 11 \)[/tex]

To compare these equations to the options given, let's manipulate the first equation to have a similar form to the second equation in absolute magnitude:

Multiply the first equation by 2:

[tex]\[ 2 \times (3x^2 - 4y^2) = 2 \times 25 \][/tex]

This gives us:

[tex]\[ 6x^2 - 8y^2 = 50 \][/tex]

Now we need to compare the resulting equation [tex]\( 6x^2 - 8y^2 = 50 \)[/tex] and the second equation [tex]\( -6x^2 - 2y^2 = 11 \)[/tex] to find the matching system in the given options.

Let's examine each option:

1. [tex]\(\left\{ \begin{array}{r} 3x^2 - 4y^2 = 25 \\ 12x^2 + 4y^2 = 22 \end{array} \right.\)[/tex]

This is not equivalent as the second equation doesn't match the manipulated form of the first system.

2. [tex]\(\left\{ \begin{array}{r} 3x^2 - 4y^2 = 25 \\ -12x^2 + 4y^2 = 22 \end{array} \right.\)[/tex]

This is not equivalent because the coefficients don’t align after considering the multiplication transformation.

3. [tex]\(\left\{ \begin{array}{l} 6x^2 - 8y^2 = 25 \\ -6x^2 - 2y^2 = 11 \end{array} \right.\)[/tex]

This is not equivalent; the first equation is incorrect after multiplication.

4. [tex]\(\left\{ \begin{array}{l} 6x^2 - 8y^2 = 50 \\ -6x^2 - 2y^2 = 11 \end{array} \right.\)[/tex]

This is equivalent because both equations match the manipulated forms of the original system.

Therefore, the equivalent system is:

[tex]\[ \left\{ \begin{array}{l} 6x^2 - 8y^2 = 50 \\ -6x^2 - 2y^2 = 11 \end{array} \right. \][/tex]

Thus, the correct choice is:

4. [tex]\(\left\{ \begin{array}{l} 6x^2 - 8y^2 = 50 \\ -6x^2 - 2y^2 = 11 \end{array} \right.\)[/tex]
