Answer:

a) the number of equations=2 and the number of variables=2

b) the system is consistent for all k , such that k≠(-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

a) for the matrix

$A= \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&k&3\\-2&4&1\end{array}\right] \\$

then the number of equations = number of rows = 2 , and the number of variables = number of columns - 1 (that correspond to the independent vector or results of the equation) = 3-1 = 2

b) the system is consistent when there is at least one solution. Then the system will be inconsistent for

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1*(-2)&k*(-2)&3*(-2)\\-2&4&1\end{array}\right] \\=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-2&(-2k)&-6\\-2&4&1\end{array}\right] \\$

for -2*k=4 → k=(-2) , the system is not consistent since the same equation -2*x + 4*y =(-6) according to the first row , while in the second row -2*x + 4*y =1 (that would mean (-6)=1 )

then the system is consistent for all k , such that k≠(-2)

Find the equation of an exponential function in the form y = ab^x, given the points (0, 3) and (2, 108/25). Please simplify your

lilavasa [31]

We have the equation:

$y=a\cdot b^x$

We know two points and we will use them to calculate the parameters a and b.

The point (0,3) will let us know a, as b^0=1.

$\begin{gathered} y=a\cdot b^x \\ 3=a\cdot b^0=a \\ a=3 \end{gathered}$

Now, we use the point (2, 108/25) to calcualte b:

$\begin{gathered} y=3\cdot b^x \\ \frac{108}{25}=3\cdot b^2 \\ 3\cdot b^2=\frac{108}{25} \\ b^2=\frac{108}{25\cdot3}=\frac{108}{3}\cdot\frac{1}{25}=\frac{36}{25} \\ b=\sqrt[]{\frac{36}{25}} \\ b=\frac{\sqrt[]{36}}{\sqrt[]{25}} \\ b=\frac{6}{5} \end{gathered}$

Then, we can write the equation as:

$y=3\cdot(\frac{6}{5})^x$

Solve the system by the elimination method. -2x + y + 6 = 0 2x + y - 8 = 0 When you eliminate x, what is the resulting equation?

Natali5045456 [20]

For this case we have the following system of two equations with two unknowns:

$-2x + y + 6 = 0\\2x + y-8 = 0$

Adding both equations we have to eliminate the variable "x":

$y + y + 6-8 = 0$

Adding common terms, keeping in mind that different signs are subtracted and the sign of the major is placed:

$2y-2 = 0\\2y = 2$

Answer:

$2y = 2$

Option A

Jessica and Raphael are saving money for concert tickets. Jessica has $20 and saves 10 per week.

Burka [1]

They have the same amount on week 5 ($70)
The Answer would be: $70
((Got this correct on my quiz, If you need it explained, It is below))
The easiest way to do this is to not pay attention to the y=x equation, because the solution is already in the information, this may confuse you and youre wasting time to solve it. Jess has $20 BEFORE saving and gets $10 WEEKLY, Raph has $40 BEFORE saving and gets $6 WEEKLY. In the chart/information, add the amount it takes to get Jess up to $40 then add $10 for every week on going until both their balances are equal. They match on the 5th week with $70 // If the information is different substitute the names/numbers/etc. Hope this helped you and anyone else looking for the answer!
