Solve the system by finding the reduced row-echelon form of the augmented matrix.

Mathematics

Answer:

The reduced row-echelon form is

\left[ \begin{array}{cccc} 1 & 0 & 6 & -10 \\\\ 0 & 1 & 2 & -3 \\\\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \end{array} \right]

The solutions to the system of equations are:

y=-2z-3,\:x=-6z-10

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this system of linear equations,

x-4y-2z=2\\2x-11y-10z=13\\-x+6y+6z=-8

you must:

Step 1: Transform the augmented matrix to the reduced row echelon form.

In an augmented matrix, each row represents one equation in the system and each column represents a variable or the constant terms.

This is the augmented matrix that represents the system.

\left[ \begin{array}{cccc} 1 & -4 & -2 & 2 \\\\ 2 & -11 & -10 & 13 \\\\ -1 & 6 & 6 & -8 \end{array} \right]

It can be transformed by a sequence of elementary row operations to the matrix.

There are three kinds of elementary matrix operations.

  1. Interchange two rows (or columns).
  2. Multiply each element in a row (or column) by a non-zero number.
  3. Multiply a row (or column) by a non-zero number and add the result to another row (or column).

Using elementary matrix operations, we get that

Row Operation 1: add -2 times the 1st row to the 2nd row

Row Operation 2: add 1 times the 1st row to the 3rd row

Row Operation 3: multiply the 2nd row by -1/3

Row Operation 4: add -2 times the 2nd row to the 3rd row

Row Operation 5: add 4 times the 2nd row to the 1st row

\left[ \begin{array}{cccc} 1 & 0 & 6 & -10 \\\\ 0 & 1 & 2 & -3 \\\\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \end{array} \right]

Step 2: Interpret the reduced row echelon form

The reduced row echelon form of the augmented matrix is

\left[ \begin{array}{cccc} 1 & 0 & 6 & -10 \\\\ 0 & 1 & 2 & -3 \\\\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \end{array} \right]

which corresponds to the system

x+6z=-10\\y+2z=-3\\0=0

The system has infinitely many solutions.

y=-2z-3,\:x=-6z-10

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Alternative hypothesis:\mu_1 -\mu_2 \neq 0

Or in the alternative way would be:

 Alternative hypothesis:\mu_1 \neq \mu_2

Step-by-step explanation:

A hypothesis is defined as "a speculation or theory based on insufficient evidence that lends itself to further testing and experimentation. With further testing, a hypothesis can usually be proven true or false".  

The null hypothesis is defined as "a hypothesis that says there is no statistical significance between the two variables in the hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that the researcher is trying to disprove".

The alternative hypothesis is "just the inverse, or opposite, of the null hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that researcher is trying to prove".

On this case the claim that they want to test is: "The means for the two groups (American Idol and 60 Minutes) is the same". So we want to check if we have significant differences between the two means, so this needs to be on the alternative hypothesis and on the null hypothesis we need to have the complement of the alternative hypothesis.

Null hypothesis:\mu_1 -\mu_2 = 0

This null hypothesis can be expressed like this:

Null hypothesis:\mu_1 = \mu_2

Alternative hypothesis:\mu_1 -\mu_2 \neq 0

Or in the alternative way would be:

Alternative hypothesis:\mu_1 \neq \mu_2
