Solve the linear system of equations using the linear combination method

Mathematics
1 answer:
scoundrel [369]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

x = -2

y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Write the system the following way:

4x + 5y = 7

-3x +y  = 9

we need to eliminate one unknown by multiplying one equation for a suitable number in such a way that when we add the equations one unknown is eliminated.

If we multiply the second eq. by -5 the y is eliminated

4x + 5y = 7

15x -5y = -45

add the equations

19x = -38 ===> x = -38/19 ===> x = -2

Now replace this value in any equation to get y. For example, in 1st one.

4(-2) + 5y = 7 ===> -8 +5y = 7 ===> 5y = 7+8 ===> 5y = 15 ===> y = 15/5 ===>

y=3

For what power of q is its value 1?​
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

  0, for q ≠ 0 and q ≠ 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming q ≠ 0, you want to find the value of x such that ...

  q^x = 1

This is solved using logarithms.

__

  x·log(q) = log(1) = 0

The zero product rule tells us this will have two solutions:

  x = 0

  log(q) = 0   ⇒   q = 1

If q is not 0 or 1, then its value is 1 when raised to the 0 power. If q is 1, then its value will be 1 when raised to <em>any</em> power.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The applicable rule of logarithms is ...

  log(a^b) = b·log(a)
