answer: positive
for example: -2 x -2 x -2 x-2
=4 x -2 x -2
=-8 x -2
=positive 16
Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
The next step to solve the system, would be to divide the second row by 3 and we would be left with: 3 * R2
[1 -5 3 0 -2
0 1 -7/3 0 4/3
0 0 1 2 -2]
Then what we will do is multiply row 3 by 7/3 and then subtract it from row 2, that is, R2 - 7/3 * R3, and it would look like this:
[1 -5 3 0 -2
0 1 0 14/3 -10/3
0 0 1 2 -2]
And these would be the next two steps in the process of solving the system.
This equation is an example of a Limacon with inner loop. By using the symmetry tests where:
POLAR AXIS/HORIZONTAL:
replace a) θ by -θ, b) r by -r and θ by π-<span>θ
VERTICAL AXIS:
replace a) </span>θ by π-θ, b) r by -r and θ by -<span>θ
POLE:
replace a) </span>θ by π+<span>θ, b) r by -r
If any of these rules, after replacing it in the equation, results to the original equation (making it the equivalent) then it is symmetrical to that axis.
In this case, it is only symmetrical about the polar/horizontal axis. </span>
