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
Answer:
x=−1 or x=−9
Step-by-step explanation:
x2+11x+10=x+1
Step 1: Subtract x+1 from both sides.
x2+11x+10−(x+1)=x+1−(x+1)
x2+10x+9=0
Step 2: Factor left side of equation.
(x+1)(x+9)=0
Step 3: Set factors equal to 0.
x+1=0 or x+9=0
x=−1 or x=−9
Answer: (8, 45)?
Step-by-step explanation:
95 is the better deal it’s only 35 more bucks and you get 150 more.
Answer: Easily A.
Step-by-step explanation: All you have to do is look at the power of the tens. The one that is the least is A. Since none of the other choices are equal to or less than 10^7, A is your answer. In scientific notation, you almost always look at the 10^x first.
