Answer:

a) If a=20 the system has no solutions.

b) If a≠20 the system has exactly one solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

The augmented matrix of the system is \left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&2&-3&4\\3&-1&5&2\\4&1&a-14&a+2\end{array}\right].

Using rows operations we obtain the echelon form of the matrix, ie,

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&2&-3&4\\0&-7&-4&-10\\0&0&a-20&a+4\end{array}\right]

Since the echelon form of the matrix does not have free variables then the problem has exactly one solution or has no solutions.

a) If a=20 the system has no solutions because in the last equation solving for x3 it has that 0=24. Then the system is inconsistent.

b) If a≠20, the the system has exactly one solution that is obtained solving the system of the echelon form matrix.

Determine whether or not the relation is a function. Please help asap
OLga [1]

Answer:

A function can have many x values for a given y value and still be a function but it cannot have many y values for a given x value. You can easily test this by graphing the equation and doing the vertical line test by seeing if a vertical line will intersect the graph only once at all x values, if it passes it is a function. In short what you have here is a function

After a shopping spree at Target, John realized he spent three times more money than his brother Mike. They spent a total of $16
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

John spent around $53

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is 3x=160

Since the "x" is already by itself on one side, divide 160 by 3

160÷3=53.333⇒

Now if that's not the way IT CAN ALSO BE:

30x3+70=160! That means John spent $90

If the speed of a car is 20 m s^-1 then what is its speed in km h^-1 ?<br>#no spam​
ivanzaharov [21]
  • Speed in m/s=20m/s

We have to convert it to km/h

\\ \sf\longmapsto 20\times \dfrac{3600}{1000}

\\ \sf\longmapsto 20\times \dfrac{18}{5}

\\ \sf\longmapsto 4times 18

\\ \sf\longmapsto 72km/h
