Answer:

a = 4; b = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

For the question to make any sense, we need to add parentheses.

... x^(2a-1)/y^(3b+4) × x^(7b-4)/y^(10-a) = x^24/y^19

Equating exponents, we have ...

... (2a-1) + (7b-4) = 24 . . . . exponent of x in the product

... (3b+4) + (10 -a) = 19 . . . exponent of y in the product

Simplifying these two equations, we get

... 2a +7b = 29

... a -3b = -5

By Cramer's rule, ...

... a = (7·(-5) -(-3·29)/(7·1 -(-3·2)) = 52/13 = 4

... b = (29·1 -(-5·2))/13 = 39/13 = 3

_____

<em>More about Cramer's Rule</em>

If you have the linear equations ...

  • ax +by = c
  • dx +ey = f

The solutions for the variables x and y can be found directly from the equation coefficients as ...

... x = (bf -ec)/(bd -ea)

... y = (cd -fa)/(bd -ea) . . . . same denominator as for the first equation

Once you recognize the pattern in the products, the formula is not difficult to remember.

___

This is actually the Vedic math version of Cramer's rule. It differs from the usual presentation of Cramer's rule in that both numerator and denominator are negated. This makes the pattern of products easier to remember and gives exactly the same result.

Which of the following sets is NOT closed under addition.
Veronika [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The odd numbers.

Suppose you have 31 and 27 when you add these two together, you get 58 which is not an odd number.

If you need a more mathematical proof, you could do it this way.

2x+1

2x is even. Anything multiplied by 2 is even. When you add 1 you get an odd number

So continue on

2y + 1 is the other number.

2x + 1 + 2y + 1 = 2(x + y) + 2

2 (x + y ) is even. When you add 2 to it, nothing changes. The result is still even.
