Either one at any given time could be equal to zero. So
x + 2 = 0
x = - 2

x - 18 = 0
x = 18

I've enclosed a graph of this so you can see that the answers I've given are the ones expected.

(x + 2) (x - 18) = 0
x + 2 = 0 or x - 18 = 0
x = -2 or x = 18

Find a unit vector in the direction of the vector left bracket Start 3 By 1 Matrix 1st Row 1st Column negative 8 2nd Row 1st Col

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

$\left[\begin{array}{c}-\frac{8}{\sqrt{117} } \\\frac{7}{\sqrt{117} }\\\frac{2}{\sqrt{117} }\end{array}\right]$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are required to find a unit vector in the direction of:

$\left[\begin{array}{c}-8\\7\\2\end{array}\right]$

Unit Vector, $\hat{a}=\dfrac{\overrightarrow{a}}{|\overrightarrow{a}|}$

The Modulus of $\overrightarrow{a}$ = $\sqrt{(-8)^2+7^2+(-2)^2}=\sqrt{117}$

Therefore, the unit vector of the matrix is given as:

$\left[\begin{array}{c}-\frac{8}{\sqrt{117} } \\\frac{7}{\sqrt{117} }\\\frac{2}{\sqrt{117} }\end{array}\right]$

Jace is a songwriter who collects royalties in his songs whenever they are played in a commercial or a movie. Jace will earn $50

VashaNatasha [74]

Jace's song were played on 8 commercials and 2 movies

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Simultaneous Linear Equations could be solved by using several methods such as :

<em>Elimination Method</em>
<em>Substitution Method</em>
<em>Graph Method</em>

If we have two linear equations with 2 variables x and y , then we need to find the value of x and y that satisfying the two equations simultaneously.

Let us tackle the problem!

<em>Number of Commercials = C</em>

<em>Number of Movies = M</em>

$\texttt{ }$

<em>Jaces songs were played on 6 more commercials than movies.</em>

$\boxed{C = 6 + M}$ → <em>Equation 1</em>

$\texttt{ }$

<em>Jace will earn $50 every time one of his songs is played in a commercial and he will earn $140 every time one of his songs is played in a movie.</em>

<em>His total earnings in the royalties from all commercials and movies was $680.</em>

$\boxed{50C + 140M = 680}$ → <em>Equation 2</em>
