Consider the contrapositive of the statement you want to prove.
The contrapositive of the logical statement
<em>p</em> ⇒ <em>q</em>
is
¬<em>q</em> ⇒ ¬<em>p</em>
In this case, the contrapositive claims that
"If there are no scalars <em>α</em> and <em>β</em> such that <em>c</em> = <em>α</em><em>a</em> + <em>β</em><em>b</em>, then <em>a₁b₂</em> - <em>a₂b₁</em> = 0."
The first equation is captured by a system of linear equations,

or in matrix form,

If this system has no solution, then the coefficient matrix on the right side must be singular and its determinant would be

and this is what we wanted to prove. QED
Step-by-step explanation:
26. x²+5x+25/4 = (x + 5/2)²
29. x²/4y²-2/3+4y²/9x² = (x/2y - 2y/3x)²
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to know that in order to solve for the volume of a rectangular prism, we have to use this formula: l * w * h. This stands for length multiplied by width multiplied by height.
<u>Step 1</u>
Let's look at the numbers we already have. The height of the prism is 4 feet and the width is 5 feet. When we multiply them together, we got 20 feet.
<u>Step 2</u>
The volume of this prism adds up to 150 square feet. To find the length of this prism, we have to divide 150 by 20.

Our final answer: l = 7.5 feet
We can check our answer by multiplying all the numbers together.
4 * 5* 7.5 = 150

hi you smell bad lol I'm just kidding so wipe that look off your face dont take offence km just playing with you I have a crush on you I'm just kidding lol dont be so serious
Answer:
Area = 36 sq. units
Step-by-step explanation:
The 3 values you need to solve for the area are the top base length, bottom base length, and height.
Top base length = 7 . It's the distance between point A and B.
Bottom base length = 11. It's the distance between points C and D.
Height = 4. It's the perpendicular distance from the top to the bottom base.
The formula to solve the area of a trapezoid (or trapezium, I'm American) is:
A = 
Put in the numbers above for the unknowns and you will get this:
A = 
Simplify:
A= 
A = 2(18)
A = 36
So the answer is 36. Hope I helped!
