Answer:
See below for the matrix
D = 100
Step-by-step explanation:
![\left[\begin{array}{cccc}3&2&1&-8\\-1&-2&4&7\\1&-6&-3&15\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcccc%7D3%262%261%26-8%5C%5C-1%26-2%264%267%5C%5C1%26-6%26-3%2615%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
3 2 1
D = -1 -2 4 = 3(-2)(-3) + 2(4)(1) + 1(-1)(-6)
1 -6 -3
- 1(-2)(1) - 3(4)(-6) - 2(-1)(-3)
= 18 + 8 + 6 + 2 + 72 - 6
= 100

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given

Required
Find 
First, we calculate the inverse function

Express f(x) as y

Swap the positions of x and y

Solve for y: Add 4 to both sides


Square both sides

Divide both sides by 2

Express y as an inverse function

Next, solve for: 
Substitute 6 for x




Answer:
5. 1:3
6. Joe
8. 2/3 = 8/12
9. 56/7 = 8/1
Answer:
You just need to demonstrate that the expression is not equivalent. To do that, we just need to evaluate the expression with a specific number.

For
, we have

Notice that the answer is true because 2 is not equivalent to 5.
Therefore, the expression is actually non-equivalent.
