What is the solution to the following system?

Mathematics

leva [86]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

(4,3,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this via matrices, so the equations given can be written in matrix form as:

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}3&2&1&20\\1&-4&-1&-10\\2&1&2&15\end{array}\right]

Now I will shift rows to make my pivot point (top left) a 1 and so:

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&-4&-1&-10\\2&1&2&15\\3&2&1&20\end{array}\right]

Next I will come up with algorithms that can cancel out numbers where R1 means row 1, R2 means row 2 and R3 means row three therefore,

-2R1+R2=R2 , -3R1+R3=R3

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&-4&-1&-10\\0&9&4&35\\0&14&4&50\end{array}\right]

\frac{R_2}{9}=R_2


\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&-4&-1&-10\\0&1&\frac{4}{9}&\frac{35}{9}\\0&14&4&50\end{array}\right]


4R2+R1=R1 , -14R2+R3=R3

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&0&\frac{7}{9}&\frac{50}{9}\\0&1&\frac{4}{9}&\frac{35}{9}\\0&0&-\frac{20}{9}&-\frac{40}{9}\end{array}\right]


-\frac{9}{20}R_3=R_3

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&0&\frac{7}{9}&\frac{50}{9}\\0&1&\frac{4}{9}&\frac{35}{9}\\0&0&1&2\end{array}\right]


-\frac{4}{9}R_3+R_2=R2 , -\frac{7}{9}R_3+R_1=R_1


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


Therefore the solution to the system of equations are (x,y,z) = (4,3,2)

Note: If answer choices are given, plug them in and see if you get what is "equal to".  Meaning plug in 4 for x, 3 for y and 2 for z in the first equation and you should get 20, second equation -10 and third 15.

In a genetic experiment involving flower color in phlox, a ratio of 3 blue-flowered plants to 1 whiteflowered plant was expected
aliya0001 [1]

Answer: The observed ratio is different from the expected ratio.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Expected ratio :

Ratio of blue flowered plants to white flowered plant = 3:1

Observed results:

Number of blue flowered plants = 35

Number of white flowered plants = 14

So, Ratio of blue flowered plants : white flowered plants

35:14\\\\=5:2

So, 5:2 ≠ 3:1

Hence, the observed ratio is different from the expected ratio.
