Hello, I am stuck on how to solve the matrix problem of x

Give a geometric description of the following system of equations.a. 2x−4y=12 −3x+6y=−15.b. 2x−4y=12 −5x+3y=10.a. 2x−4y=12 −3x+6

Reptile [31]

Answer:

a. No solution, parallel lines.

b. One solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equations:

a. $2x-4y=12$

$-3x+6y=-15$

b. $2x-4y=12$

$-5x+3y=10$

To give a geometric description of the given system of equations.

The geometric description of a system of equations in 2 variables mean the system of equations will represent the number of lines equal to the number of equations in the system given.

i.e.

Number of planes = Number of variables

Number of lines = Number of equations in the system.

Here, we are given 2 variables and 2 equation in each system.

So, they can be represented in the xy-coordinates plane.

And the number of solutions to the system depends on the following condition.

Let the system of equations be:

$A_1x+B_1y+C_1=0\\A_2x+B_2y+C_2=0$

1. One solution:

There will be one solution to the system of equations, If we have:

$\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}\neq\dfrac{B_1}{B_2}$

2. Infinitely Many Solutions: (Identical lines in the system)

$\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}=\dfrac{B_1}{B_2}= \dfrac{C_1}{C_2}$

3. No Solution:(Parallel lines)

$\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}=\dfrac{B_1}{B_2}\neq\dfrac{C_1}{C_2}$

Now, let us discuss the system of equations one by one:

a. $2x-4y=12$ OR $2x-4y-12=0$

$-3x+6y=-15$ OR $-3x+6y+15=0$

$A_1 = 2, B_1 = -4, C_1 = -12\\A_2 = -3, B_2 = 6, C_2= 15$

Here, the ratio:

$\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}=\dfrac{B_1}{B_2} = -\dfrac{2}{3}\\\dfrac{C_1}{C_2} = -\dfrac{4}{5}$

$\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}=\dfrac{B_1}{B_2}\neq\dfrac{C_1}{C_2}$

Therefore, no solution i.e. parallel lines.

b. $2x-4y=12$ OR $2x-4y-12=0$

$-5x+3y=10$ OR $-5x+3y-10=0$

$A_1 = 2, B_1 = -4, C_1 = -12\\A_2 = -5, B_2 = 3, C_2 = -10$

$\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}= -\dfrac{2}{5}\\\dfrac{B_1}{B_2} = -\dfrac{4}{3}\\\dfrac{C_1}{C_2} = -\dfrac{6}{5}$

$\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}\neq\dfrac{B_1}{B_2}$

So, one solution.

Kindly refer to the images attached for the graphical representation of the given system of equations.

When making a fruit salad, a chef chooses 7 fruits from 10 that are in season. how many different fruit salads can the chef crea

Furkat [3]

For this example, we must combine not permutate; this because a salad in which you first use apple then tomato is the same as the one in which you use first tomato then apple, so order does not matter.

Me must do "10 combine 7" which is written by the binomial coefficient $(_{7} ^{10})$ ; in general a binomial coefficient is written by:
$(_{k} ^{n})= \frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}$

In which $n$ and $k$ are positive integers, such that $n\ \textgreater \ k$ .

So, for this problem:
$(_{7} ^{10})= \frac{10!}{7!(10-7)!}=\frac{10!}{7!3!}= \frac{10*9*8}{3*2}=10*3*4=120$

Hence, there are 120 different ways to make the fruit salad.

What is equivalent to 4.321 × 10−4 ?<br><br> What is equivalent to 4.321 × 10−4 ?

Arlecino [84]

Please write that as 4.321 × 10^(−4). The " ^ " indicates exponentiation and the parentheses help make clear that your exponent here is a negative one.

Rewrite 4.321 × 10^(−4) by moving the decimal point 4 places to the left:

0.0004321
