Is the LCM ( least common multiple) of two numbers ( always,sometimes,never) the product of the two numbers?

Scorpion4ik [409]

In arithmetic and number theory, the least common multiple, lowest common multiple, or smallest common multiple of two integers a and b, usually denoted by LCM(a, b), is the smallest positive integer that is divisible by both a and b. SOOO, no there can be a lower number then both multiplied by each other.

What is the solution set to the inequality 7z+5>47

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

$z>6$

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

7z+5>47

Remove the 5:

$7z+5-5>47-5\\7z>42$

Divide by 7 to get z by itself:

$\frac{7z}{7} >\frac{42}{7} \\z>6$

The system of equations may have a unique solution, an infinite number of solutions, or no solution. Use matrices to find the ge

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Infinite number of solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given system of equations

$5x+4y+5z=-1$

$x+y+2z=1$

$2x+y-z=-3$

Firs we find determinant of system of equations

Let a matrix A= $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5&4&5\\1&1&2\\2&1&-1\end{array}\right]$ and B= $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-1\\1\\-3\end{array}\right]$

$\mid A\mid=\begin{vmatrix}5&4&5\\1&1&2\\2&1&-1\end{vmatrix}$

$\mid A\mid=5(-1-2)-4(-1-4)+5(1-2)=-15+20-5=0$

Determinant of given system of equation is zero therefore, the general solution of system of equation is many solution or no solution.

We are finding rank of matrix

Apply $R_1\rightarrow R_1-4R_2$ and $R_3\rightarrow R_3-2R_2$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&1\\1&1&2\\0&-1&-3\end{array}\right]$ : $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-5\\1\\-5\end{array}\right]$

Apply $R_2\rightarrow R_2-R_1$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&1\\0&1&1\\0&-1&-3\end{array}\right]$ : $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-5\\6\\-5\end{array}\right]$

Apply $R_3\rightarrow R_3+R_2$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&1\\0&1&1\\0&0&-2\end{array}\right]$ : $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-5\\6\\1\end{array}\right]$

Apply $R_3\rightarrow- \frac{1}{2}$ and $R_2\rightarrow R_2-R_3$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&1\\0&1&0\\0&0&1\end{array}\right]$ : $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-5\\\frac{13}{2}\\-\frac{1}{2}\end{array}\right]$

Apply $R_1\rightarrow R_1-R_3$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&0\\0&1&0\\0&0&1\end{array}\right]$ : $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-\frac{9}{2}\\\frac{13}{2}\\-\frac{1}{2}\end{array}\right]$

Rank of matrix A and B are equal.Therefore, matrix A has infinite number of solutions.

Therefore, rank of matrix is equal to rank of B.
