1)A System of equations is shown below . What is the solution to the system of equations? 5x+2y=-15 2x-2y=-6

meriva

Answer:

x= -3 and y= 0

Step-by-step explanation:

5x+2y=-15

2x-2y=-6

7x =-21

x= -3

Putting value of x in equation 1

5(-3) +2y=-15

-15+2y= -15

2y= 0

y= 0

This can be solved with the help of matrices

In matrix form the above equations can be written in the form

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5&2\\2&-2\/\end{array}\right]$ $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\\\end{array}\right]$ = $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-15\\-6\\\end{array}\right]$

Let

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5&2\\2&-2\/\end{array}\right]$ = A $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\\\end{array}\right]$ = X and $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-15\\-6\\\end{array}\right]$ = B

Then AX= B

or X= A⁻¹ B

where A⁻¹= adj A/ ║A║ where mod A≠ 0

adj A= $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-2&-2\\-2&5\/\end{array}\right]$

║A║= ( 5*-2- 2*2)= -10-4= -14≠0

X= A⁻¹ B

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\\\end{array}\right]$ =- 1/14 $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-2&-2\\-2&5\/\end{array}\right]$ $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-15\\-6\\\end{array}\right]$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\\\end{array}\right]$ =- 1/14 $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-2*-15&+ -2*-6\\-2*-15&+ 5*-6\\\end{array}\right]$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\\\end{array}\right]$ =- 1/14 $\left[\begin{array}{ccc} 30&+12\\30&+-30\\\end{array}\right]$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\\\end{array}\right]$ =- 1/14 $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}42\\0\\\end{array}\right]$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\\\end{array}\right]$ = $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-42/14\\0/-14\\\end{array}\right]$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\\\end{array}\right]$ = $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-3\\0\\\end{array}\right]$

From here x= -3 and y= 0

Solution Set = [(-3,0)]

Answer:

{8, 24, 72, 216, 648}

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometric sequence:

In a geometric sequence, the quotient of consecutive terms is always the same, that is, each term is the previous term multiplied by the common ratio.

In this question:

First element is 8, common ratio of 3. So

Second term: 8*3 = 24

Third term: 24*3 = 72

Fourth term: 72*3 = 216

Fifth term: 216*3 = 648

So the answer is {8, 24, 72, 216, 648}

What’s the distance formula

Whitepunk [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{Let}\ A(x_1,\ y_1)\ \text{and}\ B(x_2,\ y_2).\ \text{Then the distance between}\ A\ \text{and}\ B\ \text{is:}\\\\|AB|=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y1)^2}\\\\Example:\\\\A(2,\ 5),\ B(-1,\ 1)\\\\|AB|=\sqrt{(-1-2)^2+(1-5)^2}=\sqrt{(-3)^2+(-4)^2}=\sqrt{9+16}=\sqrt{25}=5$
