{5+2b+3c=0
5−2b+c=0
adding both equations u get10+4c=0⇒c=−10/4=−5/2
then5−2b+(−5/2)=0⇒b=(5/2−5)/(−2)=5/2−5/4=5/4

Answer:  The answer is 3.75 and -2.5.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the values of b and c if the vector (5, b, c) is orthogonal to (1, 2, 3) and (1, -2, 1).

We know that if two vectors are orthogonal, then their dot product is equal to zero. So, we have

(5, b, c).(1,2,3)=0\\\\\Rightarrow 5+2b+3c=0\\\\\Rightarrow 2b+3c=-5,~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(A)

and

(5,b,c).(1,-2,1)=0\\\\\Rightarrow 5-2b+c=0\\\\\Rightarrow -2b+c=-5.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(B)

Adding equations (A) and (B), we have

3c+c=-5-5\\\\\Rightarrow 4c=-10\\\\\Rightarrow c=-2.5,

and from (B), we have

-2b+2.5=-5\\\\\Rightarrow -2b=-7.5\\\\\Rightarrow b=3.75.

Thus, the value of b is 3.75 and the value of c is -2.5.

Answer:

<h2>x = 4.8</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

\dfrac{x}{-12}=-0.4\qquad\text{multiply both sides by (-12)}\\\\-12\!\!\!\!\!\diagup^1\cdot\dfrac{x}{-12\!\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}=(-12)(-0.4)\\\\x=4.8

How can you dicide if useing common multiples and common factors is useful in solving a problem
geniusboy [140]
Usually the problem asks for you finding common multiples and common factors.

Usually these tools are used to solve a problem involving the first number.

Sometimes using common multiples and common factors are a waste of time but most of the time it just makes it easier to solve the problem.
