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

stellarik [79]

Answer: 24 possible ways

A set of 4 tires can be fixed in any of the four possible positions in a car as it is mentioned that all four tires are interchangeable. Therefore, the 4 tires can be fixed in 4! ways. The four interchangeable tires can be put on a car in 24 possible ways.

A translation 2 units to the left followed by dilation by 1/2.

The correct option is (B).

<h3>What is congruency?</h3>

It states that that two triangles are said to be congruent if they are copies of each other and when superposed, they cover each other exactly.

The complete question is:

Which of the following composition of transformations would create an

image that is not congruent to its original image?

A rotation of 45° followed by a reflection across the x-axis

A translation 2 units to the left followed by dilation by 1/2

A reflection across the y-axis followed by a rotation of 60°

A rotation of 135º followed by a translation of 4 units to the right.

After a translation of 2 units to the left followed by dilation by 1/2 the image will not be congruent to its original image.

All other options are reflection and rotation, which not fit into the situation.
