length = 4 yards and width = 3.5 yards

let width be w then length is 2w - 3

area = w(2w - 3) = 14 (rearrange in standard form )

2w² - 3w - 14 = 0 ← in standard form

(2w - 7 )(w + 2 ) = 0 ← in factored form

equate each factor to zero and solve for w

2w - 7 = 0 ⇒ w = 3.5

w + 2 = 0 ⇒ w = - 2

but w > 0, hence w = 3.5

width = 3.5 yards and length = (2 × 3.5 ) - 3 = 4 yards

Hal earns $5 a week doing chores for his parents. He also earns $10 a week for each dog, d, he walks.

sammy [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

m = 5 + 10d

The variable "d" is the independent variable because its value does not depend on another variable. The variable "m" is the dependent variable because its value depends on the value of the variable "d"

The position of an object at a time t is given by s(t)=-4-2t. Find the instantaneous velocity at t=6 by finding the derivative

vagabundo [1.1K]

$\bf s(t)=4-2t\implies \cfrac{ds}{dt}=0-2\implies \left. \stackrel{v(t)}{\cfrac{ds}{dt}=-2} \right|_{t=6}\implies -2$

Convert the given system of equations to matrix form

yuradex [85]

Answer:

The matrix form of the system of equations is $\left[\begin{array}{ccccc}1&1&1&1&-3\\1&-1&-2&1&2\\2&0&1&-1&1\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{c}x&y&w&z&u\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{c}5&4&3\end{array}\right]$

The reduced row echelon form is $\left[\begin{array}{ccccc|c}1&0&0&1/4&0&3\\0&1&0&9/4&-4&5\\0&0&1&-3/2&1&-3\end{array}\right]$

The vector form of the general solution for this system is $\left[\begin{array}{c}x&y&w&z&u\end{array}\right]=u\left[\begin{array}{c}-\frac{1}{6}&\frac{5}{2}&0&\frac{2}{3}&1\end{array}\right]+w\left[\begin{array}{c}-\frac{1}{6}&-\frac{3}{2}&1&\frac{2}{3}&0\end{array}\right]+\left[\begin{array}{c}\frac{5}{2}&\frac{1}{2}&0&2&0\end{array}\right]$

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert the given system of equations to matrix form

We have the following system of linear equations:

$x+y+w+z-3u=5\\x-y-2w+z+2u=4\\2x+w-z+u=3$

To arrange this system in matrix form (Ax = b), we need the coefficient matrix (A), the variable matrix (x), and the constant matrix (b).

$A= \left[\begin{array}{ccccc}1&1&1&1&-3\\1&-1&-2&1&2\\2&0&1&-1&1\end{array}\right]$

$x=\left[\begin{array}{c}x&y&w&z&u\end{array}\right]$

$b=\left[\begin{array}{c}5&4&3\end{array}\right]$

Use row operations to put the augmented matrix in echelon form.

An augmented matrix for a system of equations is the matrix obtained by appending the columns of b to the right of those of A.

So for our system the augmented matrix is:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccccc|c}1&1&1&1&-3&5\\1&-1&-2&1&2&4\\2&0&1&-1&1&3\end{array}\right]$

To transform the augmented matrix to reduced row echelon form we need to follow this row operations:

add -1 times the 1st row to the 2nd row

$\left[\begin{array}{ccccc|c}1&1&1&1&-3&5\\0&-2&-3&0&5&-1\\2&0&1&-1&1&3\end{array}\right]$

add -2 times the 1st row to the 3rd row

$\left[\begin{array}{ccccc|c}1&1&1&1&-3&5\\0&-2&-3&0&5&-1\\0&-2&-1&-3&7&-7\end{array}\right]$

multiply the 2nd row by -1/2

$\left[\begin{array}{ccccc|c}1&1&1&1&-3&5\\0&1&3/2&0&-5/2&1/2\\0&-2&-1&-3&7&-7\end{array}\right]$

add 2 times the 2nd row to the 3rd row

$\left[\begin{array}{ccccc|c}1&1&1&1&-3&5\\0&1&3/2&0&-5/2&1/2\\0&0&2&-3&2&-6\end{array}\right]$

multiply the 3rd row by 1/2

$\left[\begin{array}{ccccc|c}1&1&1&1&-3&5\\0&1&3/2&0&-5/2&1/2\\0&0&1&-3/2&1&-3\end{array}\right]$

add -3/2 times the 3rd row to the 2nd row

$\left[\begin{array}{ccccc|c}1&1&1&1&-3&5\\0&1&0&9/4&-4&5\\0&0&1&-3/2&1&-3\end{array}\right]$

add -1 times the 3rd row to the 1st row

$\left[\begin{array}{ccccc|c}1&1&0&5/2&-4&8\\0&1&0&9/4&-4&5\\0&0&1&-3/2&1&-3\end{array}\right]$

add -1 times the 2nd row to the 1st row

$\left[\begin{array}{ccccc|c}1&0&0&1/4&0&3\\0&1&0&9/4&-4&5\\0&0&1&-3/2&1&-3\end{array}\right]$

Find the solutions set and put in vector form.

Interpret the reduced row echelon form:

The reduced row echelon form of the augmented matrix is

$\left[\begin{array}{ccccc|c}1&0&0&1/4&0&3\\0&1&0&9/4&-4&5\\0&0&1&-3/2&1&-3\end{array}\right]$

which corresponds to the system:

$x+1/4\cdot z=3\\y+9/4\cdot z-4u=5\\w-3/2\cdot z+u=-3$

We can solve for z:

$z=\frac{2}{3}(u+w+3)$

and replace this value into the other two equations

$x+1/4 \cdot (\frac{2}{3}(u+w+3))=3\\x=-\frac{u}{6} -\frac{w}{6}+\frac{5}{2}$

$y+9/4 \cdot (\frac{2}{3}(u+w+3))-4u=5\\y=\frac{5u}{2}-\frac{3w}{2}+\frac{1}{2}$

No equation of this system has a form zero = nonzero; Therefore, the system is consistent. The system has infinitely many solutions:

$x=-\frac{u}{6} -\frac{w}{6}+\frac{5}{2}\\y=\frac{5u}{2}-\frac{3w}{2}+\frac{1}{2}\\z=\frac{2u}{3}+\frac{2w}{3}+2$

where u and w are free variables.

We put all 5 variables into a column vector, in order, x,y,w,z,u

$x=\left[\begin{array}{c}x&y&w&z&u\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{c}-\frac{u}{6} -\frac{w}{6}+\frac{5}{2}&\frac{5u}{2}-\frac{3w}{2}+\frac{1}{2}&w&\frac{2u}{3}+\frac{2w}{3}+2&u\end{array}\right]$

Next we break it up into 3 vectors, the one with all u's, the one with all w's and the one with all constants:

$\left[\begin{array}{c}-\frac{u}{6}&\frac{5u}{2}&0&\frac{2u}{3}&u\end{array}\right]+\left[\begin{array}{c}-\frac{w}{6}&-\frac{3w}{2}&w&\frac{2w}{3}&0\end{array}\right]+\left[\begin{array}{c}\frac{5}{2}&\frac{1}{2}&0&2&0\end{array}\right]$

Next we factor u out of the first vector and w out of the second:

$u\left[\begin{array}{c}-\frac{1}{6}&\frac{5}{2}&0&\frac{2}{3}&1\end{array}\right]+w\left[\begin{array}{c}-\frac{1}{6}&-\frac{3}{2}&1&\frac{2}{3}&0\end{array}\right]+\left[\begin{array}{c}\frac{5}{2}&\frac{1}{2}&0&2&0\end{array}\right]$

The vector form of the general solution is

$\left[\begin{array}{c}x&y&w&z&u\end{array}\right]=u\left[\begin{array}{c}-\frac{1}{6}&\frac{5}{2}&0&\frac{2}{3}&1\end{array}\right]+w\left[\begin{array}{c}-\frac{1}{6}&-\frac{3}{2}&1&\frac{2}{3}&0\end{array}\right]+\left[\begin{array}{c}\frac{5}{2}&\frac{1}{2}&0&2&0\end{array}\right]$
