By Cramer's rule, the solution can be found as the ratio of determinants. The numerator is the matrix with the right-side constants replacing the coefficients of the variable of interest. The denominator is the matrix of coefficients.

$x=\displaystyle\frac{det\left[\begin{array}{cc}-26&-6\\13&2\end{array}\right]}{det\left[\begin{array}{cc}-2&-6\\5&2\end{array}\right]}=\frac{(-26)(2)-(13)(-6)}{(-2)(2)-(5)(-6)}\\\\=\frac{26}{26}=1\\\\y=\frac{det\left[\begin{array}{cc}-2&-26\\5&13\end{array}\right]}{26}=\frac{(-2)(13)-(5)(-26)}{26}\\\\=\frac{104}{26}=4$

The solution is ...

... B. (1, 4)

Equation of circle is x² + y² - 25 = 0

(b).

(-5, 0) » yes

(√7, 1) » no

(-3, √21) » no

(0, 7) » no

Step-by-step explanation:

(a).

If centred at origin, centre is (0, 0)

General equation of circle:

${ \boxed{ \bf{ {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0}}}$

but g and f are 0:

${x}^{2} + {y}^{2} + c = 0 \\ but : \\ c = {g}^{2} + {f}^{2} - {r}^{2} \\ c = { - 25}$

Find the ratio in which the line joining the points (2, 4, 16) and (3, 5, -4) is divided by the plane 2x – 3y+ z+ 6 = 0. Also fi

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the plane intersects the join of points in the ratio k:1

let (x,y,z) be the point of intersection.

$x=\frac{3k+2}{k+1} \\y=\frac{5k+4}{k+1} \\z=\frac{-4k+16}{k+1} \\\because ~(x,y,z)~lies~on~the~plane.\\2(\frac{3k+2}{k+1} )-3(\frac{5k+4}{k+1} )+\frac{-4k+16}{k+1} +6=0\\multiply~by~k+1\\2(3k+2)-3(5k+4)+(-4k+16)+6(k+1)=0\\6k+4-15k-12-4k+16+6k+6=0\\-7k+14=0\\k=2\\x=\frac{3*2+2}{2+1} =\frac{8}{3} \\y=\frac{5*2+4}{2+1}= \frac{14}{3} \\z=\frac{-4*2+16}{2+1} =\frac{8}{3}$
