Answer:

(t, t -1, t)

Step-by-step explanation:

You have three unknowns but only 2 equations, so you can't really SOLVE this...you can get a solution with a variable still in it (I forget what this is called.  I think it refers to infinite many solutions).  Here's how it works:

Set up your matrix:

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

You want to change the number in position 21 (the 2 in the scond row) to a 0 so you have y and z left.  Do this by multiplying the top row by -2 then adding it to the second row to get that 2 to become a 0.  Multiplying in a -2 to the top row gives you:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-2&4&-2\\2&-1&-1\\\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-4\\1\\\end{array}\right]

Then add, keeping the first row the same and changing the second to reflect the addition:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-2&4&-2\\0&3&-3\\\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-4\\-3\\\end{array}\right]

The second equation is this now:

3y - 3z = -3.  Solving for y gives you y = z - 1.  Let's let z = t (some random real number that will make the system true.  Any number will work.  I'll show you at the end.  Just bear with me...)

lf z = t, and if y = z - 1, then y = t - 1.  So far we have that y = t - 1 and z = t.  Now we solve for x:

From the first equation in the original system,

x - 2y + z = 2.  Subbing in t - 1 for y and t for z:

x - 2(t - 1) + t = 2.  Simplify to get

x - 2t + 2 + t = 2  and  x - t = 0, and x = t.  So the solution set is (t, t - 1, t).  Picking a random value for t of, let's say 2, sub that in and make sure it works.  If:

x - 2y + z = 2, then t - 2(t - 1) + t = 2 becomes t - 2t + 2 + t = 2, and with t = 2, 2 - 2(2) + 2 + 2 = 2.    Check it:  2 - 4 + 4 = 2 and 2 = 2.  You could pick any value for t and it will work.

Maya is packing her backpack for hike. In one pocket, she puts in a 1/2 pound bag of trail mix,a water bottle weighing 2 1/8 pou
Rudik [331]

Total weight of three items is 2.875 pounds

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Maya is packing her backpack for hike

From given,

pound\ bag\ of\ trail\ mix = \frac{1}{2}\ pounds

water\ bottle = 2\frac{1}{8}\ pounds = \frac{17}{8}\ pounds\\\\flashlight = \frac{1}{4}\ pounds

<em><u>How much weight do these three items add to her backpack?</u></em>

Add all these together

Total\ weight = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{17}{8} + \frac{1}{4}\\\\Total\ weight = \frac{1 \times 4}{2 \times 4} + \frac{17}{8} + \frac{1 \times 2}{4 \times 2}\\\\Total\ weight = \frac{4}{8} + \frac{17}{8} + \frac{2}{8}\\\\Total\ weight = \frac{23}{8} = 2.875

Thus total weight of three items is 2.875 pounds

The rate of change in the temperature T of coffee at time t is proportional to the difference between the temperature M of the a
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

T'(t)=k(M(t)-T(t))

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change in the temperature T of coffee at time t is written as T'(t) (remember derivatives are used to express rates of change, and in our case the rate of change of the temperature T). The difference between the temperature M of the air at time t, and the temperature T of the coffee at time t can be expressed as M(t)-T(t)

Saying that the rate of change in the temperature T is proportional to the difference between M and T is just a way of saying that the rate of change in the temperature T is equal to the difference between M and T, multiplied by some constant k (whose value we don't know, but still that's what it means).

Therefore we get

T'(t)=k(M(t)-T(t))
