Answer:

Answer ::+-6

Step-by-step explanation:

x:3=12:x

or, x/3 = 12/x

Doing cross multiplication,

x^2=36

Putting sqare root on both sides,

x= sqrt. 36

x= +- 6

Therefore x=+-6.

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Express the ratio in fractional form, that is

$\frac{x}{3}$ = $\frac{12}{x}$ ( cross- multiply )

x² = 36 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = ± $\sqrt{36}$ = ± 6

Thus x = 6 is the positive value

It's really hard for me to understand what they are asking.

Answer:

B is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles 1, 2, and 3 added together should make 180 degrees.

So, if angle 2 is 70 degrees, you subtract 70 from 180 (180-70=110) and you're left with 110 degrees.

Angle 1 and 3 add together should make 110 degrees which makes B the only true statement.

For waht values of x do the vectors -1,0,-1), (2,1,2), (1,1, x) form a basis for R3?

DaniilM [7]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The values of x for which the given vectors are basis for R³ is:

$x\neq 1$

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We know that for a set of vectors are linearly independent if the matrix formed by these set of vectors is non-singular i.e. the determinant of the matrix formed by these vectors is non-zero.

We are given three vectors as:

(-1,0,-1), (2,1,2), (1,1, x)

The matrix formed by these vectors is:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-1&2&1\\0&1&1\\-1&2&x\end{array}\right]$

Now, the determinant of this matrix is:

$\begin{vmatrix}-1 &2 & 1\\ 0& 1 & 1\\ -1 & 2 & x\end{vmatrix}=-1(x-2)-2(1)+1\\\\\\\begin{vmatrix}-1 &2 & 1\\ 0& 1 & 1\\ -1 & 2 & x\end{vmatrix}=-x+2-2+1\\\\\\\begin{vmatrix}-1 &2 & 1\\ 0& 1 & 1\\ -1 & 2 & x\end{vmatrix}=-x+1$
