Honestly, the most intelligent solution would be to light the candle first, since it has a longer duration and then I can light the lamp, and then I can light the newspaper. Then, I will use the newspaper to light the fire.

Answer:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5&7\\5&-8\\3&-9\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}c\\d\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-16\\3\\-15\end{array}\right]

This tells us that:

A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5&7\\5&-8\\3&-9\end{array}\right]

b=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-16\\3\\-15\end{array}\right]

Step-by-step explanation:

So we are saying we have scalars, c and d, such that:

c\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5\\5\\ 3\end{array}\right]+d\left[\begin{array}{ccc}7\\-8\\-9\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-16\\3\\-15\end{array}\right].

So we want to find a way to express this as:

Ax=b where x is the scalar vector, \left[\begin{array}{ccc}c\\d\end{array}\right].

So we can write this as:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5&7\\5&-8\\3&-9\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}c\\d\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-16\\3\\-15\end{array}\right]

If 3, x, y, -9 are in A.P, find the values of x and y.​
Serggg [28]

Answer:

  • x = -1
  • y = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

The common difference (d) can be found using the first and 4th terms:

  a1 = 3

  a4 = a1 +d(4 -1)

  -9 = 3 +3d . . . . . simplify

  -3 = 1 + d . . . . . . divide by 3

  -4 = d . . . . . . . . . subtract 1

Then ...

  x = a1 + d = 3 -4 = -1

  y = x + d = -1 -4 = -5

The values of x and y are -1 and -5, respectively.

1/9 - 5/6

Convert both of them into denominators of 18.

2/18 - 15/18

Subtract the numerators and keep the denominator:
