Answer:

If k = −1 then the system has no solutions.

If k = 2 then the system has infinitely many solutions.

The system cannot have unique solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following system of equations

x - 2y +3z = 2\\x + y + z = k\\2x - y + 4z = k^2

The augmented matrix is

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

The reduction of this matrix to row-echelon form is outlined below.

R_2\rightarrow R_2-R_1

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

R_3\rightarrow R_3-2R_1

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

R_3\rightarrow R_3-R_2

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

The last row determines, if there are solutions or not. To be consistent, we must have k such that

k^2-k-2=0

\left(k+1\right)\left(k-2\right)=0\\k=-1,\:k=2

Case k = −1:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&-2&3&2\\0&3&-2&-1-2\\0&0&0&(-1)^2-(-1)-2\end{array}\right] \rightarrow \left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&-2&3&2\\0&3&-2&-3\\0&0&0&-2\end{array}\right]

If k = −1 then the last equation becomes 0 = −2 which is impossible.Therefore, the system has no solutions.

Case k = 2:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&-2&3&2\\0&3&-2&2-2\\0&0&0&(2)^2-(2)-2\end{array}\right] \rightarrow \left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&-2&3&2\\0&3&-2&0\\0&0&0&0\end{array}\right]

This gives the infinite many solution.

Which expression is equivalent to 2cos^2(x/2)- cos(x)?<br> Edge 2020
olchik [2.2K]

Given:

The expression is

2\cos^2(\dfrac{x}{2})-\cos (x)

To find:

The expression which is equivalent to the given expression.

Solution:

We have,

2\cos^2(\dfrac{x}{2})-\cos (x)

We know that,

\cos x=2\cos^2 (\dfrac{x}{2})-1

Using this formula, the given expression can be written as

2\cos^2(\dfrac{x}{2})-\left(2\cos^2(\dfrac{x}{2})-1\right)

=2\cos^2(\dfrac{x}{2})-2\cos^2(\dfrac{x}{2})+1

=1

Therefore, the given expression is equivalent to 1.

Find the surface area of the rectangular prism.
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

130 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

SA= surface area

SA= 2*l*w + 2*l*h + 2*w*h

l= length = 10

w= width =5

h = height = 1

SA= 2*l*w + 2*l*h + 2*w*h

SA= 2*10*5 +2*10*1+2*5*1

SA= 100+20+10

SA= 130 ft^2
