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.

Part 1
lozanna [386]

Answer:

You will likely need to actually measure a few people for parts 1 and 2, but  the statement in part 2 should be something like "The length of the forearm of one person will be very similar to the length of their foot" or "As the length of the forearm increases, the length of the foot will increase in similar amounts".

Since the equation in pt.3 is y = 0.860x + 3.302, if x=17, then 0.860(17) + 3.302=17.922

The next question is dependant on pt.1

The data from pt.1 should be somewhat similar to the data you collected, the values between them are different because of the allowed error margin between the two.

The data can be made into a function using the "line of best fit". The equation in part A represents a function because there are no two points where two y coordinates are on the exact same x coordinate.
