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

Triangle ABC has angle measures as shown.
sladkih [1.3K]
As with any triangle, the sum of angles is 180°.

(a)
(x -5) +(3x +30) +35 = 180 . . . . . sum of angles is 180
4x +60 = 180 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms
4x = 120 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 60
x = 30 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4


(b)
Angle A = x -5 = 30 -5 = 25

Angle B = 3x +30 = 3*30 +30 = 120
