Find the set of solutions for the linear system.

Answer:

The system has infinitely many solutions.

\left\begin{array}{ccc}x_1&=&-\frac{1}{3}x_2-\frac{16}{9}x_4-\frac{2}{9}  \\x_2&=&s_1\\x_3&=&-\frac{4}{3}x_4+\frac{1}{3}  \\x_4&=&s_2\end{array}\right

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the solution for this system of linear equations -3x_1-x_2+4x_3=2\\-3x_3 - 4x_4 = -1you must:

Step 1: Transform the augmented matrix to the reduced row echelon form.

A matrix is a rectangular arrangement of numbers into rows and columns.

A system of equations can be represented by an augmented matrix.

In an augmented matrix, each row represents one equation in the system and each column represents a variable or the constant terms.

This is matrix that represents the system

\left[ \begin{array}{ccccc} -3 & -1 & 4 & 0 & 2 \\\\ 0 & 0 & -3 & 4 & -1 \end{array} \right]

The augmented matrix can be transformed by a sequence of elementary row operations to the matrix.

There are three kinds of elementary matrix operations.

  1. Interchange two rows (or columns).
  2. Multiply each element in a row (or column) by a non-zero number.
  3. Multiply a row (or column) by a non-zero number and add the result to another row (or column).

Using elementary matrix operations, we get that

Row Operation 1: Multiply the 1st row by -1/3

Row Operation 2: Multiply the 2nd row by -1/3

Row Operation 3: Add 4/3 times the 2nd row to the 1st row

\left[ \begin{array}{ccccc} 1 & \frac{1}{3} & 0 & \frac{16}{9} & - \frac{2}{9} \\\\ 0 & 0 & 1 & \frac{4}{3} & \frac{1}{3} \end{array} \right]

Step 2: Interpret the reduced row echelon form

The reduced row echelon form of the augmented matrix is

\left[ \begin{array}{ccccc} 1 & \frac{1}{3} & 0 & \frac{16}{9} & - \frac{2}{9} \\\\ 0 & 0 & 1 & \frac{4}{3} & \frac{1}{3} \end{array} \right]

which corresponds to the system

x_1+\frac{1}{3}x_2+ \frac{16}{9}x_4=-\frac{2}{9} \\x_3+ \frac{4}{3}x_4=\frac{1}{3}

We see that the variables x_2, x_4 can take arbitrary numbers; they are called free variables. Let x_2=s_1, x_4=s_2. All solutions of the system are given by

\left\begin{array}{ccc}x_1&=&-\frac{1}{3}x_2-\frac{16}{9}x_4-\frac{2}{9}  \\x_2&=&s_1\\x_3&=&-\frac{4}{3}x_4+\frac{1}{3}  \\x_4&=&s_2\end{array}\right

The system has infinitely many solutions.

115% of what number is 120?
antiseptic1488 [7]
115% is the same as 1.15
some number = x

115% of some number is 120
1.15 of x is 120
1.15 * x = 120
\frac{1.15*x}{1.15} = \frac{120}{1.15}
x = 104.3478
x ≈ 104.3

Hope this helps! :)

GrogVix [38]
After 28 days she will have 200. every 28 days she saves 80 dollars and after 112 she will have saved 320. She will then be at 460 and need 40 more dollars which is 14 days, and 112 plus 14 is 126 days. Hope that helped
