Consider the transpose of Your matrix A, that is, the matrix whose first column is the first row of A, the second column is the
Zarrin [17]

Answer:The system could have no solution or n number of solution where n is the number of unknown in the n linear equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if solution exist or not, you test the equation for consistency.

A system is said to be consistent if the rank of a matrix (say B ) is equal to the rank of the matrix formed by adding the constant terms(in this case the zeros) as a third column to the matrix B.

Consider the following scenarios:

(1) For example:Given the matrix A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&2\\3&4\end{array}\right], to transpose A, exchange rows with columns i.e take first column as first row and second column as second row as follows:

Let A transpose be B.

∵B=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&3\\2&4\end{array}\right]

the system Bx=0 can be represented in matrix form as:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&3\\2&4\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x_{1} \\x_{2} \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0\\0\end{array}\right] ................................eq(1)

Now, to determine the rank of B, we work the determinant of the maximum sub-square matrix of B. In this case, B is a 2 x 2 matrix, therefore, the maximum sub-square matrix of B is itself B. Hence,

|B|=(1*4)-(3*2)= 4-6 = -2 i.e, B is a non-singular matrix with rank of order (-2).

Again, adding the constant terms of equation 1(in this case zeros) as a third column to B, we have B_{0}:      

B_{0}=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&3&0\\4&2&0\end{array}\right]. The rank of B_{0} can be found by using the second column and third column pair as follows:

|B_{0}|=(3*0)-(0*2)=0 i.e, B_{0} is a singular matrix with rank of order 1.

Note: a matrix is singular if its determinant is = 0 and non-singular if it is \neq0.

Comparing the rank of both B and B_{0}, it is obvious that

Rank of B\neqRank of B_{0} since (-2)<1.

Therefore, we can conclude that equation(1) is <em>inconsistent and thus has no solution.     </em>

(2) If B=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-4&5\\-8&10&\end{array}\right] is the transpose of matrix A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-4&-8\\5&10\end{array}\right], then

Then the equation Bx=0 is represented as:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-4&5\\-8&10&\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x_{1} \\x_{2} \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0\\0\end{array}\right]..................................eq(2)

|B|= (-4*10)-(5*(-8))= -40+40 = 0  i.e B has a rank of order 1.

B_{0}=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-4&5&0\\-8&10&0\end{array}\right],

|B_{0}|=(5*0)-(0*10)=0-0=0   i.e B_{0} has a rank of order 1.

we can therefor conclude that since

rank B=rank B_{0}=1,  equation(2) is <em>consistent</em> and has 2 solutions for the 2 unknown (X_{1} and X_{2}).

<u>Summary:</u>

  • Given an equation Bx=0, transform the set of linear equations into matrix form as shown in equations(1 and 2).
  • Determine the rank of both the coefficients matrix B and B_{0} which is formed by adding a column with the constant elements of the equation to the coefficient matrix.
  • If the rank of both matrix is same, then the equation is consistent and there exists n number of solutions(n is based on the number of unknown) but if they are not equal, then the equation is not consistent and there is no number of solution.

I don’t understand stand this question someone please help me with work shown
djyliett [7]

Answer:

60°

please look into the solution down here.

Step-by-step explanation:

since BD bisects it, then the angles should be bisected symmetrically, or in other words, ANGLE ABD = angle DBC,

hence,

4x = 2x +30

2x = 30

x = 15

therefore, angle DBC = 2x + 30 = 2(15) + 30 = 60°.

At D.J.s Drink stand Erika ordered a cup of fruit punch made using 1/4 cup of lemonade 1/12 cup of cranberry juice. What fractio
Zepler [3.9K]

The fraction of the orange juice will be 2/3cup.

Why?

Since there is no additional information, let's assume that the fruit punch is made using just three juice fruits, lemonade juice, cranberry juice and the rest is orange juice.

We can calculate the fraction of the orange juice using the following information:

FruitPunch=\frac{1}{4}Lemonade+\frac{1}{12}Cranberry+Orange\\\\1cup=\frac{1}{4}cup+\frac{1}{12}cup+Orange\\\\1cup-(\frac{1}{4}cup+\frac{1}{12}cup)=Orange\\\\1cup-(\frac{12+4}{4*12})=Orange\\\\Orange=1cup-\frac{16}{48}cup=1cup-\frac{1}{3}cup=\frac{3-1}{3}cup=\frac{2}{3}cup

Hence, we have that the fraction of the orange juice will be 2/3cup.

Have a nice day!
