2x+12=18. 2x+12=-18
Subtract 12 from both sides
2x=6. 2x=-30
Divide both sides by 2

X=3. X=-15

Consider the following set of vectors. v1 = 0 0 0 1 , v2 = 0 0 3 1 , v3 = 0 4 3 1 , v4 = 8 4 3 1 Let v1, v2, v3, and v4 be (colu
Alona [7]

Answer:

We have the equation

c_1\left[\begin{array}{c}0\\0\\0\\1\end{array}\right] +c_2\left[\begin{array}{c}0\\0\\3\\1\end{array}\right] +c_3\left[\begin{array}{c}0\\4\\3\\1\end{array}\right] +c_4\left[\begin{array}{c}8\\4\\3\\1\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{c}0\\0\\0\\0\end{array}\right]

Then, the augmented matrix of the system is

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}0&0&0&8\\0&0&4&4\\0&3&3&3\\1&1&1&1\end{array}\right]

We exchange rows 1 and 4 and rows 2 and 3 and obtain the matrix:

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&1&1&1\\0&3&3&3\\0&0&4&4\\0&0&0&8\end{array}\right]

This matrix is in echelon form. Then, now we apply backward substitution:

1.

8c_4=0\\c_4=0

2.

4c_3+4c_4=0\\4c_3+4*0=0\\c_3=0

3.

3c_2+3c_3+3c_4=0\\3c_2+3*0+3*0=0\\c_2=0

4.

c_1+c_2+c_3+c_4=0\\c_1+0+0+0=0\\c_1=0

Then the system has unique solution that is (c_1,c_2c_3,c_4)=(0,0,0,0) and this imply that the vectors v_1,v_2,v_3,v_4 are linear independent.

Find f(-2) if f(x) = x + x + 7. f(-2) =
Lynna [10]

Answer:

f(-2) = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

f(x) = x² + x + 7

We need to find the value of f(-2).

Put x = -2 in the given function.

f(-2) = (-2)² + (-2) + 7

= 4-2+7

= 9

Hence, the value of f(-2) is equal to 9.
