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 distance from the Earth to Saturn averages 886 million (886,000,000) miles. Write this number in scientific notation.
kiruha [24]

Answer:

8.86 x 10^8

Step-by-step explanation:

Scientific notation means that you represent the standard form of a number like this:

number less than ten x 10 to the ___ power

In standard form, the decimal point is at the end of 886,000,000.

You have to move the decimal point to the left until it creates a number less than 10, but greater than 1:

8.86,000,000

You count how many decimal places you moved it. In this case, it is 8.

So your answer becomes 8.86 x 10^8
