ANSWER

The determinant is 0

EXPLANATION (METHOD 1)
This method involves expanding along any column.


For an n×n matrix A, the determinant of A, det(A), can be obtained by expanding along the kth column:

   \det(A) = a_{1k} C_{1k} + a_{2k} C_{2k} + \ldots + a_{nk} C_{nk}

where a_{k1} is the entry of A in the kth row, 1st column, a_{k2} is the entry of A in the kth row, 2nd column, etc., and C_{kn} is the kn cofactor of A, defined as C_{kn} = (-1)^{k+n} M_{kn}. 

But we do not need to care about the cofactors as all the 2nd column entries are 

   a₁₂ = a₂₂ = a₃₂ = 0

We would end up with

   \begin{aligned}
\det\left(\begin{bmatrix} \bf -3 & \bf 0 & \bf -2\\ 9 & 0 & 5 \\ 6 & 0 & -12 \end{bmatrix}\right) &= (0) C_{12} + (0)C_{22} + (0)C_{32}  \\
&= 0
\end{aligned}


EXPLANATION (METHOD 2)|
This method involves expanding along a row

For an n×n matrix A, the determinant of A, det(A), can be obtained by expanding along the kth row:

\det(A) = a_{k1} C_{k1} + a_{k2} C_{k2} + \ldots + a_{kn} C_{kn}


where a_{k1} is the entry of A in the kth row, 1st column, a_{k2} is the entry of A in the kth row, 2nd column, etc., and C_{kn} is the kn cofactor of A, defined as C_{kn} = (-1)^{k+n} M_{kn}.

M_{kn} is the kn minor, obtained by getting the determinant of the matrix which is the matrix A with row k and column n deleted.


Applying this here, we can expand along the 1st row.
For convenience, let G be the coefficient matrix of this question, which is

G=\begin{bmatrix} \bf -3 & \bf 0 & \bf -2\\ 9 & 0 & 5 \\ 6 & 0 & -12  \end{bmatrix}


with the first row bolded.

The determinant is therefore


\begin{aligned} \text{det}(G) &= g_{11}C_{11} + g_{12}C_{12}  + g_{13}C_{13}  \end{aligned}

Note that g₁₁ is the matrix element of G that is in the 1st row, 1st column, g₁₂ is the matrix element of G that is in the 1st row, 2nd column, etc. Then we have

\begin{aligned} \text{det}(G) &= g_{11}(-1)^{1+1}M_{11} + g_{12}(-1)^{1+2}M_{12}   + g_{13}(-1)^{1+3}M_{13}  \\ &= g_{11} M_{11}  - g_{12}M_{12} + g_{13}M_{13} \end{aligned}

M₁₁ is the determinant of the matrix that is matrix G with row 1 and column 1 removed. The bold entires are the row and the column we delete.

\begin{aligned} G=\begin{bmatrix} \bf -3 & \bf 0 & \bf -2\\ \bf 9 & 0 & 5 \\ \bf 6 & 0 & -12  \end{bmatrix}  \implies M_{11} &= \text{det}\left(\begin{bmatrix} 0&5 \\ 0&-12 \end{bmatrix} \right)  \end{aligned}

The determinant of a 2×2 matrix is

   \det\left(
\begin{bmatrix}
a & b \\
c& d
\end{bmatrix}
\right) = ad-bc

so it follows that

\begin{aligned} G=\begin{bmatrix} \bf -3 & \bf 0 & \bf -2\\ \bf 9 & 0 & 5 \\ \bf 6 & 0 & -12  \end{bmatrix}  \implies M_{11} &= \det\left(\begin{bmatrix} 0&5 \\ 0&-12 \end{bmatrix} \right) \\ &= (0)(-12) - (5)(0) \\ &= 0 \end{aligned}

Applying the same for M₁₂ and M₁₃, we have

\begin{aligned} G=\begin{bmatrix} \bf -3 & \bf 0 & \bf -2\\ 9 & \bf 0 & 5 \\ 6 & \bf 0 & -12  \end{bmatrix}  \implies M_{12} &= \det\left(\begin{bmatrix} 9&5 \\ 6&-12 \end{bmatrix} \right) \\ &= (9)(-12) - (5)(6) \\ &= -138 \end{aligned}

and

\begin{aligned} G=\begin{bmatrix} \bf -3 & \bf 0 & \bf -2\\  9 & 0 & \bf 5 \\  6 & 0 & \bf -12  \end{bmatrix}  \implies M_{13} &= \det\left(\begin{bmatrix} 9&0\\ 6&0 \end{bmatrix} \right) \\ &= (9)(0) - (0)(6) \\ &= 0 \end{aligned}

so therefore

\begin{aligned} \text{det}(G)  &= g_{11} M_{11}  - g_{12}M_{12} + g_{13}M_{13} \\ &= (-3)(0) - (0)(-138) + (-2)(0) \\ &= 0 \end{aligned}

These would have infinite solutions because this is a slope-intercept equation. Since you are provided with the y-intercept in both, you can put anything in for the slope and it will work.

I need help pls WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST
Alex73 [517]

Answer: (3,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x-7y=5\\15x+6y=33

5(-3x-7y)=5(5)\\-15x-35y=25

new system:

-15x-35y=25\\15x+6y=33

add.

-29y=58\\y=-2

plug in -2 for y

-3x-7(-2)=5\\-3x+14=5\\-3x=-9\\x=3

system:

(3,-2)

Below is the graph of y=b^x. Find b.
omeli [17]
Y = <span>b^x

when x = 1
y = b^1
y  = b

Therefore, the value of b is the same as the value of y when x =1
From the graph,
When x = 1, y = 0.5
Therefore, b = 0.5


To confirm this

From the graph,

When x = -1, y = 2
Since </span>y = b^x<span>
2 = </span>b^-1
2 = 1/b
2b = 1
b = 0.5

When x = -2, y = 4
Since y = b^x
4 = b^-2
4 = 1/(b^2)
b^2 = 1/4
b = √(1/4)
b = 1/2
b = 0.5

Therefore, it is conformed that b = 0.5
