Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
5 x 2 = 10
10 - 3 = 7
Answer:
1. If x=5, 3*5=15, 15*15=225 + y (3) = 228.
2. If y=4, then 10*4 = 40, 4^2 is 16, so 40 + 16 is 56.
I might be wrong, but the first one you answered, x^2, x= 1/2, I think that is wrong. when something is squared, you don't go, "Oh, well since 1/2 equals 1, that's the answer." The way to figure out something like this is... 1/2 times 1/2, which is .25, or 1/4. Another example: 3^5 . The way to find this out is 3*3*3*3*3 = 243. But you don't go 3*5, because that answer would be 15, which is not correct.
Let's consider an arbitrary 2x2 matrix as an example,

The columns of

are linearly independent if and only if the column vectors

are linearly independent.
This is the case if the only way we can make a linear combination of

reduce to the zero vector is to multiply the vectors by 0; that is,

only by letting

.
A more concrete example: suppose

Here,

and

. Notice that we can get the zero vector by taking

and

:

so the columns of

are not linearly independent, or linearly dependent.
