Answer:

130

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the determinant of the matrix ...

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4&3&2\\-3&1&5\\-1&-4&3\end{array}\right]$

One way to figure it is as the difference between the sum of products of the down-diagonals and the sum of products of the up-diagonals:

D = (4)(1)(3) +(3)(5)(-1) +(2)(-3)(-4) -(-1)(1)(2) -(-4)(5)(4) -(3)(-3)(3)

= 12 -15 +24 +2 +80 +27

D = 130

The determinant of the coefficient matrix is 130.

Substitution method...need help.. started but cant finish

trapecia [35]

Solve either equation for either variable. Since the second one has y on its own, the easiest choice is to solve that for y.

-5x + y = 13 ⇒ y = 5x + 13

Now substitute this into the other equation to eliminate y and rewrite it entirely in terms of x :

-3x + 3y = 3 ⇒ -3x + 3 (5x + 13) = 3

Simplify and solve for x :

-3x + 15x + 39 = 3

12x = -36

x = -3

Substitute this into either original equation to solve for y. Plugging x = -3 into the first equation would give

-3 (-3) + 3y = 3

9 + 3y = 3

3y = -6

y = -2

So the solution to the system of equations is (x, y) = (-3, -2).

$\bf sin^{-1}(some\ value)=\theta \impliedby \textit{this simply means}
\\\\\\
sin(\theta )=some\ value\qquad \textit{now, also bear in mind that}
\\\\\\
sin(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}\qquad 
\qquad 
% tangent
tan(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{adjacent}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\$

$\bf sin^{-1}\left( \frac{2}{5} \right)=\theta \impliedby \textit{this simply means that}
\\\\\\
sin(\theta )=\cfrac{2}{5}\cfrac{\leftarrow opposite}{\leftarrow hypotenuse}\qquad \textit{now let's find the adjacent side}
\\\\\\
\textit{using the pythagorean theorem}\\\\
c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \pm\sqrt{c^2-b^2}=a\qquad 
\begin{cases}
c=hypotenuse\\
a=adjacent\\
b=opposite\\
\end{cases}$

$\bf \pm \sqrt{5^2-2^2}=a\implies \pm\sqrt{21}=a
\\\\\\
\textit{we don't know if it's +/-, so we'll assume is the + one}\quad \sqrt{21}=a\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
tan(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{adjacent}\qquad \qquad tan(\theta)=\cfrac{2}{\sqrt{21}}
\\\\\\
\textit{and now, let's rationalize the denominator}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{2}{\sqrt{21}}\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt{21}}{\sqrt{21}}\implies \cfrac{2\sqrt{21}}{(\sqrt{21})^2}\implies \cfrac{2\sqrt{21}}{21}

PART A:
The generic equation of the line is:
y-yo = m (x-xo)
First we look for the slope of the line:
m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
m = ((5000) - (6000)) / (4-3)
m = -1000
Then, we substitute any point in the generic equation:
(xo, yo) = (4, 5000)
Substituting:
y-5000 = (- 1000) (x-4)
Rewriting:
y = -1000x + 4000 + 5000
y = -1000x + 9000
The equation is:
y = -1000x + 9000

PART B:
For the price of 3.50 we have:
y = -1000 * (3.5) +9000
y = 5500
