Answer:
b. (1, 3, -2)
Step-by-step explanation:
A graphing calculator or scientific calculator can solve this system of equations for you, or you can use any of the usual methods: elimination, substitution, matrix methods, Cramer's rule.
It can also work well to try the offered choices in the given equations. Sometimes, it can work best to choose an equation other than the first one for this. The last equation here seems a good one for eliminating bad answers:
a: -1 -5(1) +2(-4) = -14 ≠ -18
b: 1 -5(3) +2(-2) = -18 . . . . potential choice
c: 3 -5(8) +2(1) = -35 ≠ -18
d: 2 -5(-3) +2(0) = 17 ≠ -18
This shows choice B as the only viable option. Further checking can be done to make sure that solution works in the other equations:
2(1) +(3) -3(-2) = 11 . . . . choice B works in equation 1
-(1) +2(3) +4(-2) = -3 . . . choice B works in equation 2
Hmmm... a geometric sequence MUST have a fixed common ratio. If it is changing, then the sequence you are looking at might not be a geometric sequence at all. We'd need to see an example to be sure.
Answer:
600 ft³
Step-by-step explanation:
Base area: B
Base is triangle
base = 12 ft and height = 5 ft
Area of triangle = B = 

H = 20 ft
Volume = B * H
= 30 * 20
= 600 ft³
