Can you find an explanation of "row operations" with examples in any of your learning materials, online or in print?
Once you get the hang of row ops, it's not terribly hard. This does, however, take a lot of arithmetic.
<span>−6x−y−5z=−10
− 5x+6y+4z=−7
2x−3y−2z=3
can be represented by the matrix
-6 -1 -5 -10
-5 6 4 -7
2 -3 -2 3
Our goal is to transform this 3 x 4 matrix so that it ends up looking like:
1 0 0 a
0 1 0 b
0 0 1 c
and the solution you want is the vector (a, b, c) (three numeric values).
</span>I have more or less arbitrarily chosen to start with the third row:
2 -3 -2 3. We want this row to begin with a 1, so we multiply each of the original four digits by (1/2), obtaining 1 -3/2 -2/2 3/2, or 1 -3/2 -1 3/2.
We can present the original matrix in any order without changing its value. Thus, the original
-6 -1 -5 -10
-5 6 4 -7
2 -3 -2 3
becomes
-6 -1 -5 -10
-5 6 4 -7
1 -3/2 -1 3/2
We want that "1" to appear in the upper, left hand corner of the matrix. We are free to interchange rows, so we interchange the first and 3rd rows, obtaining
1 -3/2 -1 3/2
-5 6 4 -7
-6 -1 -5 -10
Next, we manipulate the first row (which begins with 1) so as to get the first element of the 2nd and 3rd rows to be 0.
To achieve this for the 2nd row, we multiply the 1st row by 5, obtaining
5 -15/2 -5 15/2
and then we add this to the existing 2nd row. The result will be an "0"
in the first column:
0 (6-15/2) ( 4-5) (-7+15/2), or 0 -3/2 -1 1/2.
Substitute this new 2nd row for the original 2nd row. We'll now have:
1 -3/2 -1 3/2
0 -3/2 -1 1/2
-6 -1 -5 -10
Now we have to "fix" the 3rd row, so that it starts with a zero (0):
To accomplish this, mult. the first row by 6 and add the resulting new row to the existing 3rd row. Result should be 0 -10 -11 -1, and the revised matrix will be
1 -3/2 -1 3/2
0 -3/2 -1 1/2
0 -10 -11 -1
Next steps involve transforming the 2nd column so that it looks lilke
0
1
0.
To do this, mult. the entire 2nd row by -2/3, Here's the expected result:
0 1 2/3 -1/3
Replace the existing 2nd row with this revised 2nd row:
1 -3/2 -1 3/2
0 -3/2 -1 1/2
0 -10 -11 -1 becomes
1 -3/2 -1 3/2
0 1 2/3 -1/3
0 -10 -11 -1
In the end we want this matrix to look like
1 0 0 a
0 1 0 b
0 0 1 c
and the solution you want is the vector (a, b, c) (three numeric values).
Use this new 2nd row to further fix the 2nd column, so that it looks like
0
1
0.
I ask that you go thru this discussion and work out each set of calculations yourself, to verify what I have done so far. Reply with any questions that arise. We'll find a way to finish this solution.
Answer:
each person should get 2 cans
Step-by-step explanation:
12 ÷ 6=2 hope it helps!
Let's compute the two factors separately: as for "the sum of -13/5 and 12/7", we have to rewrite the two fractions so that they have the same denominator. Since the least common multiple of 5 and 7 is 35, we will change both fractions so that they have denominator 35:
So now we can sum them:
Multiplication is easier, since you just have to multiply numerators and denominators with each others:
Finally, we must divide the two fractions. Dividing by a fraction is the same this as multiplying by the inverse of that fraction, i.e. we have to switch numerator and denominator:
Answer:
-2
Step-by-step explanation:
The line in the graph has a slope of 1/2. Perpendicular means the opposite sign and the reciprocal, so it would be -2.
Answer:
Slope is -2.8 so D
Step-by-step explanation:
I got -14/5 which converted is -2.8
