Answer:

Dinner only: $75

Dinner and Tip: $90

Step-by-step explanation:

If the tip was $15, and the tip was 20% of the price of dinner, then dinner was $75.

You can find this out by doing 15/20%, which should give you 75.

If the question requires you to add up the price of dinner and the tip, then the total price would be $90

Solve these linear equations by Cramer's Rules Xj=det Bj / det A:

timurjin [86]

Answer:

(a) $x_1=-2,x_2=1$

(b) $x_1=\frac{3}{4} ,x_2=-\frac{1}{2} ,x_3=\frac{1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) For using Cramer's rule you need to find matrix $A$ and the matrix $B_j$ for each variable. The matrix $A$ is formed with the coefficients of the variables in the system. The first step is to accommodate the equations, one under the other, to get $A$ more easily.

$2x_1+5x_2=1\\x_1+4x_2=2$

$\therefore A=\left[\begin{array}{cc}2&5\\1&4\end{array}\right]$

To get $B_1$ , replace in the matrix A the 1st column with the results of the equations:

$B_1=\left[\begin{array}{cc}1&5\\2&4\end{array}\right]$

To get $B_2$ , replace in the matrix A the 2nd column with the results of the equations:

$B_2=\left[\begin{array}{cc}2&1\\1&2\end{array}\right]$

Apply the rule to solve $x_1$ :

$x_1=\frac{det\left(\begin{array}{cc}1&5\\2&4\end{array}\right)}{det\left(\begin{array}{cc}2&5\\1&4\end{array}\right)} =\frac{(1)(4)-(2)(5)}{(2)(4)-(1)(5)} =\frac{4-10}{8-5}=\frac{-6}{3}=-2\\x_1=-2$

In the case of B2, the determinant is going to be zero. Instead of using the rule, substitute the values of the variable $x_1$ in one of the equations and solve for $x_2$ :

$2x_1+5x_2=1\\2(-2)+5x_2=1\\-4+5x_2=1\\5x_2=1+4\\ 5x_2=5\\x_2=1$

(b) In this system, follow the same steps,ust remember $B_3$ is formed by replacing the 3rd column of A with the results of the equations:

$2x_1+x_2 =1\\x_1+2x_2+x_3=0\\x_2+2x_3=0$

$\therefore A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&1&0\\1&2&1\\0&1&2\end{array}\right]$

$B_1=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&0\\0&2&1\\0&1&2\end{array}\right]$

$B_2=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&1&0\\1&0&1\\0&0&2\end{array}\right]$

$B_3=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&1&1\\1&2&0\\0&1&0\end{array}\right]$

$x_1=\frac{det\left(\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&0\\0&2&1\\0&1&2\end{array}\right)}{det\left(\begin{array}{ccc}2&1&0\\1&2&1\\0&1&2\end{array}\right)} =\frac{1(2)(2)+(0)(1)(0)+(0)(1)(1)-(1)(1)(1)-(0)(1)(2)-(0)(2)(0)}{(2)(2)(2)+(1)(1)(0)+(0)(1)(1)-(2)(1)(1)-(1)(1)(2)-(0)(2)(0)}\\ x_1=\frac{4+0+0-1-0-0}{8+0+0-2-2-0} =\frac{3}{4} \\x_1=\frac{3}{4}$

$x_2=\frac{det\left(\begin{array}{ccc}2&1&0\\1&0&1\\0&0&2\end{array}\right)}{det\left(\begin{array}{ccc}2&1&0\\1&2&1\\0&1&2\end{array}\right)} =\frac{(2)(0)(2)+(1)(0)(0)+(0)(1)(1)-(2)(0)(1)-(1)(1)(2)-(0)(0)(0)}{4} \\x_2=\frac{0+0+0-0-2-0}{4}=\frac{-2}{4}=-\frac{1}{2}\\x_2=-\frac{1}{2}$

$x_3=\frac{det\left(\begin{array}{ccc}2&1&1\\1&2&0\\0&1&0\end{array}\right)}{det\left(\begin{array}{ccc}2&1&0\\1&2&1\\0&1&2\end{array}\right)}=\frac{(2)(2)(0)+(1)(1)(1)+(0)(1)(0)-(2)(1)(0)-(1)(1)(0)-(0)(2)(1)}{4} \\x_3=\frac{0+1+0-0-0-0}{4}=\frac{1}{4}\\x_3=\frac{1}{4}$

Based on the polynomial remainder theorem, what is the value of the function when x=−6 ?

Vaselesa [24]

ANSWER

$f( - 6) = 10$

EXPLANATION

The given function is
$f(x) = {x}^{4} + 8 {x}^{3} + 10 {x}^{2} - 7x + 40$

According to the remainder theorem,

$f( - 6) = R$
where R is the remainder when
$f(x)$

is divided by
$x + 6$

We therefore substitute the value of x and evaluate to obtain,

$f( - 6) = { (- 6)}^{4} + 8 {( - 6)}^{3} + 10 { (- 6)}^{2} - 7( - 6)+ 40$

$f( - 6) = 1296 + 8 ( - 216) + 10 (36) - 7( - 6)+ 40$

$f( - 6) = 1296 - 1728 + 360 + 42+ 40$

This will evaluate to,

$f( - 6) = 10$

Hence the value of the function when
$x = - 6$

is
$10$

According to the remainder theorem,
$10$
is the remainder when

$f(x) = {x}^{4} + 8 {x}^{3} + 10 {x}^{2} - 7x + 40$
is divided by
$x + 6$
