In matrix form, the system is given by

\begin{bmatrix} -1 & 1 & -1 \\ 2 & -1 & 1 \\ 3 & 2 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} x \\ y \\ z \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} -20 \\ 29 \\ 29 \end{bmatrix}

I'll use G-J elimination. Consider the augmented matrix

\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} -1 & 1 & -1 & -20 \\ 2 & -1 & 1 & 29 \\ 3 & 2 & 1 & 29 \end{array} \right]

• Multiply through row 1 by -1.

\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & -1 & 1 & 20 \\ 2 & -1 & 1 & 29 \\ 3 & 2 & 1 & 29 \end{array} \right]

• Eliminate the entries in the first column of the second and third rows. Combine -2 (row 1) with row 2, and -3 (row 1) with row 3.

\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & -1 & 1 & 20 \\ 0 & 1 & -1 & -11 \\ 0 & 5 & -2 & -31 \end{array} \right]

• Eliminate the entry in the second column of the third row. Combine -5 (row 2) with row 3.

\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & -1 & 1 & 20 \\ 0 & 1 & -1 & -11 \\ 0 & 0 & 3 & 24 \end{array} \right]

• Multiply row 3 by 1/3.

\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & -1 & 1 & 20 \\ 0 & 1 & -1 & -11 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 8 \end{array} \right]

• Eliminate the entry in the third column of the second row. Combine row 2 with row 3.

\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & -1 & 1 & 20 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & -3 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 8 \end{array} \right]

• Eliminate the entries in the second and third columns of the first row. Combine row 1 with row 2 and -1 (row 3).

\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & 0 & 0 & 9 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & -3 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 8 \end{array} \right]

Then the solution to the system is

\boxed{x=9, y=-3, z=8}

If you want to use G elimination and substitution, you'd stop at the step with the augmented matrix

\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & -1 & 1 & 20 \\ 0 & 1 & -1 & -11 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 8 \end{array} \right]

The third row tells us that z=8. Then in the second row,

y-z = -11 \implies y=-11 + 8 = -3

and in the first row,

x-y+z=20 \implies x=20 + (-3) - 8 = 9

The function f(x) = x2 + 10x – 3 written in vertex form is f(x) = (x + 5)2 – 28. What are the coordinates of the vertex?
Alexxandr [17]
Vertex form uses the following formula:

y = a(x-h)^2 + k

Identify the values of h and k in your function:

(x+5)^2 - 28
h = -5, k = -28

The vertex is found with the following point:

(h,k)
\text{Vertex: (-5, -28)}

The vertex will be found at (-5, -28).

Hi! I was wondering if you could help with this question please :)​
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

R=\frac{QJ}{I^2t}

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the equation:

Q=\frac{I^2Rt}{J}

And we want to solve for R.

First, let's multiply both sides by J to remove the fraction on the right. So:

(J)Q=(J)\frac{I^2Rt}{J}

Simplify the right:

JQ=I^2Rt

We can rewrite our equation as:

JQ=R(I^2t)

So, to isolate the R variable, divide both sides by I²t:

\frac{JQ}{I^2t}=\frac{R(I^2t)}{I^2t}

The right side cancels, so:

R=\frac{QJ}{I^2t}

And we are done!
