The right hand side of the equation is 〈11 , -16 , 6〉

The values of a and b are a = 3 , b = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

If n . <a , b> + m . <c , d> = < x , y>, then

  • na + mc = x
  • nb + md = y

∵ a  ∙〈5 , -4 , 0〉 + b ∙ 〈2 , 2 , -3〉 = 〈11 , -16 , 6〉

- By using the rule above

∴ a(5) + b(2) = 11 ⇒ (1)

∴ a(-4) + b(2) = -16 ⇒ (2)

∴ a(0) + b(-3) = 6 ⇒ (3)

Use equation (3) to find the value of b

∵ a(0) + b(-3) = 6

∴ 0 - 3b = 6

∴ -3b = 6

- Divide both sides by -3

∴ b = -2

Substitute b in equation (1) or equation (2) to find a

∵ a(5) + b(-2) = 11

∴ 5a - 2b = 11

∵ b = 2

∴ 5a - 2(2) = 11

∴ 5a - 4 = 11

- Add 4 to both sides

∴ 5a = 15

- Divide both sides by 5

∴ a = 3

To check your answer substitute a and b in equation (2)

∵ a(-4) + b(2) = -16

∴ -4a + 2b = -16

∵ a = 3 , b = -2

∵ The left hand side is -4a + 2b = -4(3) + 2(-2) = -12 - 4 = -16

∵ The right hand side is -16

∴ L.H.S = R.H.S

∴ The values of a and b are 3 , -2

The values of a and b are a = 3 , b = -2

16 What value could you put in place of the x to make it a function? * (8, 7) (7,-6) (-4,5) (x, 9)
Tresset [83]

Answer:

(c) 9

Step-by-step explanation:

You can't have a repeated x-value in a function.

8 is taken by (8, 7)

7 is taken by (7,-6)

-4 is taken by (-4, 5)

9 is the only number that is not taken by any other point yet.

Remember that for a relationship to be a function it can't have repeated x-values. However, it doesn't matter to have the same x and y values!

Hope this helped!

Answer: b) increasing for x < -4/3 and x > 4/3

                    decreasing for -4/3 < x < 4/3

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Graph the equation and the follow the curve from left to right.  When you are going up, it is increasing.  When you are going down, it is decreasing.

see the image below.  Red is increasing. Blue is decreasing.

The vertices occur when x = -4/3 and x = 4/3
