Answer:

A - B = ± 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A + B = 0 → (1)

AB = - 36 → (2)

Subtract B from both sides of (1)

A = - B ← substitute into (2)

- B(B) = - 36 ( multiply both sides by 0 1 )

B² = 36 ( take square root of both sides )

B = ± 6

Substitute into (1)

If B = 6 then A =- 6 and A-B = - 6 - 6 = - 12

If B = - 6 then A = 6 and A - B = 6 - (- 6) = 6 + 6 = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

A + B = 0

A = -B

(-B)B) = -36

-B^2 = -36

B^2 = 36

B = 6, -6

So, A = -6, 6

A - B = -12

A - B = 12

Solving for matrices

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The augmented matrix for the system of three equaitons is

$\left(\begin{array}{ccccc} 3&-4&-5&|&-27\\5&2&-2&|&11\\5&-4&4&|&-7\end{array}\right)$

Multiply the first row by 5, the second row by -3 and add these two rows:

$\left(\begin{array}{ccccc} 3&-4&-5&|&-27\\0&-26&-19&|&-168\\5&-4&4&|&-7\end{array}\right)$

Subtract the third row from the second:

$\left(\begin{array}{ccccc} 3&-4&-5&|&-27\\0&-26&-19&|&-168\\0&6&-6&|&18\end{array}\right)$

Divide the third row by 6:

$\left(\begin{array}{ccccc} 3&-4&-5&|&-27\\0&-26&-19&|&-168\\0&1&-1&|&3\end{array}\right)$

Now multiply the third equation by 26 and add it to the second row:

$\left(\begin{array}{ccccc} 3&-4&-5&|&-27\\0&-26&-19&|&-168\\0&0&-45&|&-90\end{array}\right)$

You get the system of three equations:

$\left\{\begin{array}{r}3x-4y-5z=-27\\-26y-19z=-168\\-45z=-90\end{array}\right.$

From the third equation

$z=\dfrac{90}{45}=2.$

Substitute z=2 into the second equation:

$-26y-19\cdot 2=-168\\ \\-26y-38=-168\\ \\-26y=-168+38=-130\\ \\y=\dfrac{130}{26}=5.$

Now substitute z=2 and y=5 into the first equation:

$3x-4\cdot 5-5\cdot 2=-27\\ \\3x-20-10=-27\\ \\3x-30=-27\\ \\3x=-27+30=3\\ \\x=1.$

The solution is (1,5,2)

Is there a mistake in this equation? if not please let me know!

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

no mistakes

Step-by-step explanation:

4 * 3^x = 324

Divide each side by 4

4/4 * 3^x = 324/4

3^x = 81

Rewriting 81 as a power of 3

3^x = 3^4

Since the bases are the same, the powers are the same

x=4
