Answer:

<h2>The solution to the system of equation is x = 8, y = 13</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The system of equation using matrix equation can be solved using crammers rule. Given the equation;

7x-4y=4

10x-6y=2

The equation will be rewritten in the format AX = B

matrix A will be 2*2 matrix

X will be a column matrix containing the variables

B will be a column matrix

\left[\begin{array}{cc}7&-4\\10&-6\\\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{c}x&y\\\\\end{array}\right] = \right] \left[\begin{array}{c}4&2\\\\\end{array}\right]

first we will find the determinant of the matrix A

|A|=7(-6)-(10)(-4)\\|A|= -42+40\\|A|= -2

To get the value of x, we will substitute the column matrix at the right hand side to replace the first column pf matrix A, then we look for the determinant and divide the determinant by the determinant of matrix A itself.

|X|=\left[\begin{array}{cc}4&-4\\2&-6\\\end{array}\right]\\|X|= -24+8\\|X|=-16

x = |X|/|A|

x = -16/-2

x = 8

Similarly for y, we will substitute the column matrix at the right hand side to replace the second column of matrix A, then we look for the determinant and divide the determinant by the determinant of matrix A itself.

|Y|=\left[\begin{array}{cc}7&4\\10&2\\\end{array}\right]\\|Y|= 14-40\\|Y|=-26

y = |Y|/|A|

y = -26/-2

y = 13

The solution to the system of equation is x = 8, y = 13

Kristin is 20 km behind a truck that is driving 90 km/h how long will it take her to catch up to the truck? how far will she go
malfutka [58]
Time taken for Kristin to catch up with the truck will be found using the formula
time=(distance)/(speed)
distance=20 km
speed=90 km/h
thus
time=20/90=2/9 hours

Answer: 2/9 hours

Prove that triangle with side lengths of x^2-1, 2x, x^2+1 is a right triangle.
Brrunno [24]
Right triangles must follow the pythagorean theorem, so a^2+b^2=c^2.

Let's find a^2 and b^2 by squaring the first 2 side lengths.

(x^2-1)^2= x^4-2x^2+1
(2x)^2= 4x^2

Then add the two to find c^2
x^4+ 2x^2 +1= c^2

Root both sides
x^2+1=c

Since the side lengths can be plugged into the pythagorean theorem, the side lengths must represent a right triangle.
Hope this helps!
