Please help!! Write a matrix representing the system of equations

Mathematics

Answer:

(4, -1, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the system of equations:

\left\{        \begin{array}{ll}            x+2y+z =5 \\    2x-y+2z=15\\3x+y-z=8        \end{array}    \right.

We can convert this to a matrix. In order to convert a triple system of equations to matrix, we can use the following format:

\begin{bmatrix}x_1& y_1& z_1&c_1\\x_2 & y_2 & z_2&c_2\\x_3&y_2&z_3&c_3 \end{bmatrix}

Importantly, make sure the coefficients of each variable align vertically, and that each equation aligns horizontally.

In order to solve this matrix and the system, we will have to convert this to the reduced row-echelon form, namely:

\begin{bmatrix}1 & 0& 0&x\\0 & 1 & 0&y\\0&0&1&z \end{bmatrix}

Where the (x, y, z) is our solution set.

Reducing:

With our system, we will have the following matrix:

\begin{bmatrix}1 & 2& 1&5\\2 & -1 & 2&15\\3&1&-1&8 \end{bmatrix}

What we should begin by doing is too see how we can change each row to the reduced-form.

Notice that R₁ and R₂ are rather similar. In fact, we can cancel out the 1s in R₂. To do so, we can add R₂ to -2(R₁). This gives us:

\begin{bmatrix}1 & 2& 1&5\\2+(-2) & -1+(-4) & 2+(-2)&15+(-10) \\3&1&-1&8 \end{bmatrix}\\\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}1 & 2& 1&5\\0 & -5 & 0&5 \\3&1&-1&8 \end{bmatrix}

Now, we can multiply R₂ by -1/5. This yields:

\begin{bmatrix}1 & 2& 1&5\\ -\frac{1}{5}(0) & -\frac{1}{5}(-5) & -\frac{1}{5}(0)& -\frac{1}{5}(5) \\3&1&-1&8 \end{bmatrix}\\\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}1 & 2& 1&5\\ 0 & 1 & 0& -1 \\3&1&-1&8 \end{bmatrix}

From here, we can eliminate the 3 in R₃ by adding it to -3(R₁). This yields:

\begin{bmatrix}1 & 2& 1&5\\ 0 & 1 & 0& -1 \\3+(-3)&1+(-6)&-1+(-3)&8+(-15) \end{bmatrix}\\\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}1 & 2& 1&5\\ 0 & 1 & 0& -1 \\0&-5&-4&-7 \end{bmatrix}

We can eliminate the -5 in R₃ by adding 5(R₂). This yields:

\begin{bmatrix}1 & 2& 1&5\\ 0 & 1 & 0& -1 \\0+(0)&-5+(5)&-4+(0)&-7+(-5) \end{bmatrix}\\\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}1 & 2& 1&5\\ 0 & 1 & 0& -1 \\0&0&-4&-12 \end{bmatrix}

We can now reduce R₃ by multiply it by -1/4:

\begin{bmatrix}1 & 2& 1&5\\ 0 & 1 & 0& -1 \\ -\frac{1}{4}(0)&-\frac{1}{4}(0)&-\frac{1}{4}(-4)&-\frac{1}{4}(-12) \end{bmatrix}\\\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}1 & 2& 1&5\\ 0 & 1 & 0& -1 \\0&0&1&3 \end{bmatrix}

Finally, we just have to reduce R₁. Let's eliminate the 2 first. We can do that by adding -2(R₂). So:

\begin{bmatrix}1+(0) & 2+(-2)& 1+(0)&5+(-(-2))\\ 0 & 1 & 0& -1 \\0&0&1&3 \end{bmatrix}\\\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}1 & 0& 1&7\\ 0 & 1 & 0& -1 \\0&0&1&3 \end{bmatrix}

And finally, we can eliminate the second 1 by adding -(R₃):

\begin{bmatrix}1 +(0)& 0+(0)& 1+(-1)&7+(-3)\\ 0 & 1 & 0& -1 \\0&0&1&3 \end{bmatrix}\\\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}1 & 0& 0&4\\ 0 & 1 & 0& -1 \\0&0&1&3 \end{bmatrix}

Therefore, our solution set is (4, -1, 3)

And we're done!

Answer:

x < -7

Step-by-step explanation:

to isolate x we need to subtract 2 from both sides. -5-2 is -7, so the answer is x < -7

1. You have three standard decks of cards in front of you. What is the probability of drawing a heart card from all three decks?
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

1.56%

Step-by-step explanation:

A standard deck of cards has 52 cards, and 13 of these are hearts, as there are 4 suits, and 52/4=13. This means the probability of choosing a heart card from a deck of cards is 1/4, or 25%. Now to find the probability of doing this from 3 decks in a row, we simply cube 1/4 to get 1/64, and in percentage this is ~1.56%.
