{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.

The given term is 6n-38,<br> can u find the first four terms in the sequence
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

- 32, - 26, - 20, - 14

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the first 4 terms , substitute n = 1, 2, 3, 4 into the rule

a₁ = 6(1) - 38 = 6 - 38 = - 32

a₂ = 6(2) - 38 = 12 - 38 = - 26

a₃ = 6(3) - 38 = 18 - 38 = - 20

a₄ = 6(4) - 38 = 24 - 38 = - 14

AleksandrR [38]

The equation of the line going through (-6, 0) and (0, -3) is y = -(1/2)x - 3

The equation of the line going through (0, 3) and (-4, -5) is y = 2x + 3

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

The equation of the line going through (-6, 0) and (0, -3) is:

y - 0 = [(-3 - 0) / (0- (-6)](x - (-6))

y = -(1/2)x - 3

The equation of the line going through (0, 3) and (-4, -5) is:

y - 3 = [(-5 - 3) / (-4 - 0)](x - 0)

y = 2x + 3

lara [203]

Step-by-step explanation:

Build a rectangle 12 cm high and 5 cm wide (Paint it). Then a) Find the perimeter of the rectangle. B) Find the area of ​​the rectangle. Aiuda porfis.

Length of the rectangle is 12 cm

Breadth of the rectangle is 5 cm

Perimeter is the sum of all sides. For rectangle it is given by :

P = 2(l+b)

⇒ P=2(12+5)

P = 34 cm

Area of a rectangle is equal to the product of its length and breadth.

So,

A = lb

A = 12 cm × 5 cm

⇒A = 60 cm²

Hence, perimeter is 34 cm and area of rectangle is 60 cm².

Substitute first Y for the second Y
So it would be x + x + 6 = -2
Then it would be 2x +6 = -2
Move the 6 over so it would be 2x =-8
Divide by 2 your answer is x = -4
