The first step in any problem is to look at what you are given. When solving systems of linear equations, it is often helpful to eliminate one or more of the variables by adding or subtracting a multiple of one equation with a multiple of another. It is convenient when at least one of the multipliers is 1.

Here, we can cancel the y-terms in the 2nd and 3rd equations simply by adding them together. This gives

... (5x +y -4z) +(-3x -y +5z) = (41) +(-45)

... 2x +z = -4 . . . . simplified

Likewise, we can add 3 times the second equation to the first to cancel y in that sum.

... 3(5x +y -4z) +(2x -3y +z) = 3(41) + (-1)

...15x +3y -12z +2x -3y +z = 123 -1

...17x -11z = 122 . . . . simplified

Now that we have 2 equations in x and z, we can go through the same process. We observe that the coefficient of z is +1 in the first equation and -11 in the second. The means we can cancel the z terms by adding 11 times the first equation to the second:

... 11(2x +z) +(17x -11z) = 11(-4) +122

...22x +17x = 78 . . . . . . simplify a little bit

... x = 78/39 = 2 . . . . . . divide by 39

From above, we find

... z = -4 -2x = -4 -2·2 = -8

... y = 41 -5x +4z = 41-5(2) +4(-8) = 41 -42 = -1

The solution is (x, y, z) = (2, -1, -8).

The method of elimination used here will vary with the system of equations. If you want to employ a consistent method, you can use Cramer's Rule, Gaussian elimination, or matrix methods. Since you apparently don't mind help from technology, learning to do this on your graphing calculator can also be a good idea.

For the function given, state the middle line; f(t) = 40cos (80t + 20)
Digiron [165]

In the standard form of the equation

\\ \ f(t)=Acos[b(t\pm c)]+k\\ \\

The middle line =k

For our given problem

f(t) = 40cos (80t + 20)

On comparison we get k=0

Hence middle line=0

If you want four 2 in. platys, seven 1 in. guppies, and a 3 in. loach, what is the smallest capacity tank you can buy?
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

168 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters given are:

four 2 in. platys, seven 1 in. guppies, and a 3 in. loach, 

Four 2 inches platys = 4 × 2 = 8 inches

Seven 1 inches guppies = 7 × 1 = 7 inches

A 3 inches leach = 3 inches

The smallest capacity tank you can buy will be

V = 8 × 7 × 3

V = 168 cubic inches

Therefore, the smallest capacity of tank you can buy is 168 cubic inches
