Answer:

The two numbers are x = 8 and y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y

The difference of two numbers is 3 is represented as:

x - y = 3------------------Equation 1

Their sum is 13 is represented as:

x + y = 13----------------Equation 2

x - y = 3------------------Equation 1

Using method of Elimination by subtracting Equation 1 from Equation 2

x-x + y-(-y) = 13 - 3

2y = 10

y = 10/2

y = 5

Substituting y = 5 in Equation 2

x + 5 = 13

x = 13 - 5

x = 8

∴ The two numbers are x = 8 and y = 5

What is the domain of the function represented by the graph?
dezoksy [38]

Answer:  Choice C.  x \ge -3

============================================

Explanation:

The domain is the set of all allowed x inputs.

Here we see that x = -3 is the smallest x value possible as it is from the left-most point. The graph goes on forever to the right, so there is no largest x value. Effectively infinity is the largest x value even though infinity is not a number.

We can say the domain is -3 \le x < \infty which can be simplified to -3 \le x or x \ge -3

In short: x can be -3 or larger.

Express the system as AX = B; then solve using matrix inverses
Wittaler [7]

Answer with explanation:

1. The given equations are

3x -5 y=2

-x+2 y= 0

⇒The matrix in the form of , AX=B, is

A=\left[\begin{array}{cc}3&-5\\-1&2\end{array}\right] ,\\\\ X=\left[\begin{array}{c}x&y\end{array}\right],\\\\B=\left[\begin{array}{c}2&0\end{array}\right]

\rightarrow X=A^{-1}B\\\\\rightarrow X=\frac{Adj.A}{|A|}\times B

Adj.A=Transpose of cofactor of Matrix A

Adj.A=\left[\begin{array}{cc}2&1\\5&3\end{array}\right] ,\\\\ |A|=6-5\\\\|A|=1\\\\\left[\begin{array}{c}x&y\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc}2&5\\1&3\end{array}\right] \times \left[\begin{array}{c}2&0\end{array}\right]\\\\x=4, y=2

2.

The given equations are

x+y-z=2

x+z=7

2 x +y+z=13

⇒The matrix in the form of , AX=B, is

   A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&-1\\1&0&1\\2&1&1\end{array}\right]\\\\ X=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right]\\\\B= \left[\begin{array}{ccc}2\\7\\13\end{array}\right]\\\\\rightarrow X=A^{-1}B\\\\\rightarrow X=\frac{Adj.A}{|A|}\times B\\\\a_{11}=-1,a_{12}=1,a_{13}=1,a_{21}=-2,a_{22}=3,a_{23}=1,a_{31}=1,a_{32}=-2,a_{33}=-1\\\\|A|=1\times(0-1)-1\times(1-2)-1\times(1-0)\\\\=-1+1-1\\\\|A|=-1\\\\Adj.A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-1&-2&1\\1&3&-2\\1&1&-1\end{array}\right]

\frac{Adj.A}{|A|}=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&2&-1\\-1&-3&2\\-1&-1&1\end{array}\right]\\\\X=A^{-1}B\\\\\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&2&-1\\-1&-3&2\\-1&-1&1\end{array}\right]\times\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2\\7\\13\end{array}\right]\\\\x=3,y=3,z=4
