Consider the contrapositive of the statement you want to prove.
The contrapositive of the logical statement
<em>p</em> ⇒ <em>q</em>
is
¬<em>q</em> ⇒ ¬<em>p</em>
In this case, the contrapositive claims that
"If there are no scalars <em>α</em> and <em>β</em> such that <em>c</em> = <em>α</em><em>a</em> + <em>β</em><em>b</em>, then <em>a₁b₂</em> - <em>a₂b₁</em> = 0."
The first equation is captured by a system of linear equations,

or in matrix form,

If this system has no solution, then the coefficient matrix on the right side must be singular and its determinant would be

and this is what we wanted to prove. QED
Answer:
(9, 6)
Step-by-step explanation:
the given points are
(3, 2)
(6, 4)
so, can you see, how the sequence continues ?
I see immediately that for every 3 additional units of x we add 2 units of y.
so, yes, the next point in the sequence is
(6 + 3, 4 + 2) = (9, 6).
so, this point (or ordered pair) follows the same ratio or proportional relationship between x and y as the points already in the graph.
in other words, they are on the same line following the same slope ("y coordinate change / x coordinate change" when going from one point on the line to another).
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given:</u>
- AB = 192 cm
- AC : CB = 1 : 3
- CD = BC/12
- The distance between midpoints of AD and CB = x
<u>Find the length of AC and CB:</u>
- AC + CB = AB
- AC + 3AC = 192
- 4AC = 192
- AC = 192/4
- AC = 48 cm
<u>Find CB:</u>
<u>Find the length of CD:</u>
- CD = BC/12 = 144/12 = 12 cm
<u>Find the length of AD:</u>
- AD = AC - CD = 48 - 12 = 36 cm
<u>Find the midpoint of AD:</u>
<u>Find the midpoint of CB:</u>
- m(CB) = AC + 1/2CB = 48 + 144/2 = 48 + 82 = 130 cm
<u>Find the distance between the midpoints:</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
4x2 - 25b2
We can solve it by the squares so
(2x - 5b) (2x + 5b)
2) x2 - 81
The same case is here so
(x - 9) (x + 9)
7 9/12 = 7.75
2 11/12 = 2.917
So we can round both of these up.
7.75 rounds to 8
2.917 rounds to 3
8 + 3 = 11
So the estimated sum is 11.
7 9/12 + 2 11/12 = 10 2/3
So the actual sum is 10 2/3.
The estimated sum is a pretty good estimate to the original number.
