Let T:R²->R² be a linear transformation ,and assume that T (1,2)=(-1,1) and T(1,-1)=(2,3)

zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

(-4,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given T(1,2)=(-1,1) and T(1,-1)=(2,3) and T is a linear transformation.

This implies for scalars a and b that

T(a(1,2)+b(-1,1))=aT(1,2)+bT(-1,1)

T((a,2a)+(-b,b))=a(-1,1)+b(2,3)

T((a-b,2a+b))=(-a,a)+(2b,3b)

T((a-b,2a+b))=(-a+2b,a+3b)

This means we should be able to solve the system below to find a and b for T(3,3):

a-b=3 and 2a+b=3

Add equations to eliminate b and solve for a:

3a=6

Divide 3 on both sides:

a=2

If a-b=3 and a=2, then b=-1.

Plug in a=2, b=-1:

T((a-b,2a+b))=(-a+2b,a+3b)

T((2--1,2×2+-1)=(-2+2×-1,2+3×-1)

T(3,3)=(-4,-1).

A portion of the Quadratic Formula proof is shown. Fill in the missing statement.

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$x+\frac{b}{2a} =\pm\sqrt{\frac{b^2-4ac}{4a^2}}$

Simplify the right side of the equation

we know that

$\pm\sqrt{\frac{b^2-4ac}{4a^2}}=\pm\frac{\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{\sqrt{4a^2}}=\pm\frac{\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

so

The expression is

$x+\frac{b}{2a}=\pm\frac{\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

therefore

x plus b over 2 times a equals plus or minus the square root of b squared minus 4 times a times c, all over 2 times a
