Answer:

B.  z = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up the matrix like this.  I multiplied the last row by a 2 to get rid of the fractions so that's what you will see:

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

I used Cramer's Rule to solve for the value of y.  In order to do that you need to find the determinant of the matrix, then you need to find the determinant of the matrix after you sub the solution set into the column representing z.

Find the determinant requires that I "pick up" the first 2 columns and then drop them at the end of the matrix and do the multiplication of the majors minus the minors.  The matrix looks like this:

2    1    -1    2    1

0    2    3    0    2

-1    2    2    -1    2

The multiplication of the majors:

[(2×2×2)+(1×3×-1)+(-1×0×2)] = (8-3+0)=5

The multiplication of the minors:

[(-1×2×-1)+(2×3×2)+(2×0×1)] = (2+12+0) = 14

So the determinant of the matrix is I A I = 5 - 14 = -9

Now for the determinant of z, noted as I A_{z} I.  Notice that I am replacing the laast column with the solution set this time:

2    1    -8    2    1

0    2    -6    0    2

-1    2    -8    -1    2

The multiplication of the majors:

[(2×2×-8)+(1×-6×-1)+(-8×0×2)] = (-32+6+0) = -26

The multiplication of the minors:

[(-1×2×-8)+(2×-6×2)+(-8×0×1)] = (16 - 24 + 0) = -8

So the determinant of I A_{z} I = -18

Cramer's Rule is to divide I A_{z} I by I A I:

\frac{-18}{-9}= 2

So the value you need for z to solve for y is 2

Someone Please Help.
ahrayia [7]

Hi there!

\large\boxed{f(-6) = 5}

The value of f(-6) is the y-value at the x-coordinate x = -6.

Looking at the graph, we can see that at x = -6, y = 5.

Therefore, f(-6) = 5.

Examine the system of equations.
SashulF [63]

Answer:

y=11

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the system by substitution by setting the equations equal to each other.

y = 5x+6

y = x+10

It becomes 5x+6 = x+10. Solve for x using inverse operations.

5x+6 = x+10

4x+6 = 10

4x = 4

x=1

Substitute x=1 into one equation to find y.

y = x+10

y = 1 +10

y=11

The net of a triangular prism is shown below. What is the surface area of the prism? A. 128 cm^2 B. 152 cm^2 C. 176 cm^2 D. 304
shtirl [24]

Answer:

B. 152 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the surface area using a net, do this:

Take apart the figure. We see that there are three rectangles and two triangles. Find the area of each (A=l*w) and then add the values together:

The first rectangle on the left is the same as the one on the right.

5*8=40

Two measures are 40 cm².

The middle rectangle is:

6*8=48

48 cm²

The formula for the area of a triangle is A=\frac{1}{2}*b*h:

A=\frac{1}{2}*6*4\\\\A=\frac{1*6*4}{2}\\\\A=\frac{24}{2}\\\\ A=12

The area of the two triangles is 12 cm².

Now add the values:

40+40+48+12+12=152

The area of the figure is 152 cm².
