Answer:
X=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
The axis of symmetry for any parabola is the x value of the vertex. Dividing the parabola along the vertex will always yield two symmetric halves.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Xavier, Yolanda and Zara shared some money.
Let x represent Xavier's share
Let y represent Yolanda's share
Let z represent Zara's share.
Yolanda received 40% more money than Xavier. This means that
y = x + 40/100×x = x + 0.4x = 1.4x
Zara received 60% of Yolanda's share. This means that
z = 60/100× 1.4 = 0.6×1.4 = 0.84x
. If Zara received $1,176, then,
0.84x = 1176
x = 1176/0.84 = 1400
y = 1.4 × 1400 = $1960
z = 0.84 × 1400 = $1176
The sum of the money is
1400 + 1960 + 1176 = $4536
Apply to Row 2 : Row 2 + Row 1
2x + 2y + 3z = 0
y + 4z = -3
2x + 3y + 3z = 5
Apply to Row 3: Row 3 - Row 1
2x + 2y + 3z = 0
y + 4z = -3
y = 5
Apply to Row 3: Row 3 - Row 2
2x + 2y + 3z = 0
y + 4z = -3
-4z = 8
Simplify rows
2x + 2y + 3z = 0
y + 4z = -3
z = -2
<em>Note that the matrix is in echelon form now. The next steps are for back substitution.</em>
Apply to Row 2: Row 2 - 4 Row 3
2x + 2y + 3z = 0
y = 5
z = -2
Apply to Row 1: Row 1 - 3 Row 3
2x + 2y = 6
y = 5
z = -2
Apply to Row 1: Row 1 - 2 Row 2
2x = -4
y = 5
z = 2
Simplify the rows
<u>x = -2</u>
<u>y = 5</u>
<u>z = -2</u>
