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

Answer:

She will be charged $180 once lets the account go past 6 months before making a payment.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simple interest problem.

The simple interest formula is given by:

E = P*I*t

In which E is the amount of interest earned, P is the principal(the initial amount of money), I is the interest rate(yearly, as a decimal) and t is the time.

After t years, the total amount of money is:

T = E + P

In this question:

If she pays within 6 months, she is not charged any interest.

However, if after 6 months she has not paid the balance, she is charged 20% interest for this period.

Barbara financed a new bedroom set at the furniture store for $1,800.

This means that P = 1800

20 percent interest

This means that I = 0.2

How much interest will she be charged once she lets the account go past 6 months?

6 months is half a year, so this is E when T = 0.5

E = P*I*t

E = 1800*0.2*0.5

E = 180

She will be charged $180 once lets the account go past 6 months before making a payment.

The value pi/24 is a solution for the equation 4 cos^4 (4x)-3
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

4 cos^4 (4x)-3 = 0

Substitute into the equation

4 cos^4 (4pi/24)-3 = 0

4 cos^4 (pi/6)-3 = 0

Take the cos pi/6

4 ( sqrt(3)/2) ^4 -3 =0

Take it to the 4th power

4 ( 9/16) -3 =0

9/4 -3 =0

9/4 - 12/4 = 0

-3/4 =0

False
