a function is a rule that assigns each value of the variable to exactly one value of the dependent variable
I am somehow confused with the given matrix. Because usually, when the system of equations is given as:
ax + by = c
dx + ey = f
the matrix would be written in this manner:
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}a&b&c\\d&e&f\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Da%26b%26c%5C%5Cd%26e%26f%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20)
Let me just assume that the arrangement of the given corresponds to this system of equations:
4x + 8y = 0
2x + 5y = 6
So you write it as
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4&8&0\\2&5&6\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D4%268%260%5C%5C2%265%266%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20)
In order to solve this, the matrix should look like this where x and y are the answers
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&x\\0&1&y\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D1%260%26x%5C%5C0%261%26y%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20)
So, the first thing to do is apply this pattern: Row 2 = Row 1 - 2*Row 2. The result will be
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4&8&0\\0&-2&-12\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D4%268%260%5C%5C0%26-2%26-12%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20)
Next, Row 1 = (Row 1/4) + R2:
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&-12\\0&-2&-12\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D1%260%26-12%5C%5C0%26-2%26-12%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20)
Lastly, Row 2 = Row 2 / -2:
Thus, the answer is x=-12 and y=6.
Answer:
Mean is 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The data is symmetric, which means that the mean and median are the same.
Median is in the middle, so 4.
