Given equations are x- - y-z = 2, - x - 3 y - 2 z + 4, -x - 2 z = 10 .

It seems you have missed to write = in the 2nd equation so i have fixed the sign and going to solve the following system of equations:

x-y-z=2 ...(i)

-x-3y-2z=4 ...(ii)

-x-2z=10 ...(iii)


solve (i) for x

x=2+y+z ...(iv)

plug (iv) into (ii)

-x-3y-2z=4

-(2+y+z)-3y-2z=4

-2-y-z-3y-2z=4

-2-4y-3z=4

-4y-3z=6...(v)


plug (iv) into (iii)

-x-2z=10

-(2+y+z)-2z=10

-2-y-z-2z=10

-2-y-3z=10

-y=12+3z

y=-12-3z...(vi)


plug (vi) into (v)

-4y-3z=6

-4(-12-3z)-3z=6

48+12z-3z=6

48+9z=6

9z=-42

z=-14/3


Now plug value of z into (vi)

y=-12-3z=-12-3(-14/3)=-12+14=2

y=2


plug value of y and z into (iv)

x=2+y+z=2+2-14/3=-2/3


Hence final answer is x=-2/3, y=2, z=-14/3

Show that p(x)=2x3−5x2−10x+5 has a real root.

Let's pick an arbitrary value of 5.

P(5) = 2(5)^{3} - 5(5)^{2} - 10(5) + 5
= 2(125) - 125 - 50 + 5
= 250 - 125 - 50 + 5
= 80 > 0

Let's pick another arbitrary value: 1

P(1) = 2 - 5 - 10 + 5
= -8 < 0

Between these two values, the polynomial is continuous. This means for the two polynomial points to be satisfied, there must be at least one root between these two points.

We can either use the Intermediate Value Theorem or Newton's method to make a better approximation from there.

pantera1 [17]

83 x 6 = 498

 all six of her scores need to equal at least 498 for an 83 average

83 + 84 + 93 + 77 + 85 = 422

498-422 = 76

 she needs a 76
