Given that (x+y+z)(xy+xz+yz)=18 and that x^2(y+z)+y^2(x+z)+z^2(x+y)=6 for real numbers x, y, and z, what is the value of xyz?

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+y+z)(xy+xz+yz)=18 Equation 1

x^2(y+z)+y^2(x+z)+z^2(x+y)=6 Equation 2

What is the value of xyz where each variable represents a real number?

Let's expand equation 1:

(x+y+z)(xy+xz+yz)=18

x(xy)+x(xz)+x(yz)+y(xy)+y(xz)+y(yz)+z(xy)+z(xz)+z(yz)=18

Simplify each term if can:

x^2y+x^2z+xyz+y^2x+xyz+y^2z+xyz+z^2x+z^2y=18

See if we can factor a little to get some of the left hand side of equation 2:

The first two terms have x^2 and if I factored x^2 from first two terms I would have x^2(y+z) which is the first term of left hand side of equation 2.

So let's see what happens if we gather the terms together that have the same variable squared together.

x^2y+x^2z+y^2x+y^2z+z^2y+z^2x+xyz+xyz+xyz=18

Factor the variable squared terms out of each binomial pairing:

x^2(y+z)+y^2(x+z)+z^2(y+x)+xyz+xyz+xyz=18

Replace the sum of those first three terms with what it equals which is 6 from the equation 2:

6+xyz+xyz+xyz=18

Combine like terms:

6+3xyz=18

Subtract 6 on both sides:

3xyz=12

Divide both sides by 3:

xyz=4

Solve the equation. Explain or show your reasoning.<br><br> 1/2 x -7 = 1/3 (x-12)
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

1: 1/2x - 7 = 1/3x - 4

2: 3/6x - 7 = 2/6x - 4

3: 3/6x = 2/6x + 3

4: 1/6x = 3

5: x = 18

Prove De Morgan's law by showing that each side is a subset of the other side by considering x ∈ A⎯⎯⎯ A ¯ ∩ B⎯⎯⎯ B ¯ .
adelina 88 [10]

Solution :

We have to prove that $\overline{A \cup B} = \overline{A} \cap \overline{B}$   (De-Morgan's law)

Let  $x \in \bar{A} \cap \bar{B}, $ then $x \in \bar{A}$ and $x \in \bar{B} $

and so $x \notin \bar{A}$ and $x \notin \bar{B} $.

Thus, $x \notin A \cup B$ and so $x \in \overline{A \cup B}$

Hence, $\bar{A} \cap \bar{B} \subset \overline{A \cup B}$   .........(1)

Now we will show that $\overline{A \cup B} \subset \overline{A} \cap \overline{B}$

Let $x \in \overline{A \cup B}$ ⇒ $x \notin A \cup B$

Thus x is present neither in the set A nor in the set B, so by definition of the union of the sets, by definition of the complement.

$x \in \overline{A}$ and  $x \in \overline{B}$

Therefore, $x \in \overline{A} \cap \overline{B}$ and we have $\overline{A \cup B} \subset \overline{A} \cap \overline{B}$  .............(2)

From (1) and (2),

$\overline{A \cup B} = \overline{A} \cap \overline{B}$

Hence proved.
