Answer:

4 cups of mayonnaise.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the amount of pecans comparing reality and the recipe is:

1 : 3/8

= 1/(3/8)

= 8/3

Hence, to find the amount of mayonnaise that should be added:

8/3 * 3/2

= 8/2

= 4 cups

Hope this helped!

-x+6is the same as -(x-6) how do I know? Pls help
Verdich [7]
The x becomes negative because the negative sign at the start of the parenthesis distributes to everything inside parenthesis so x becomes -x and the double negative becomes +6 so that is why

Solve these linear equations by Cramer's Rules Xj=det Bj / det A:
timurjin [86]

Answer:

(a)x_1=-2,x_2=1

(b)x_1=\frac{3}{4} ,x_2=-\frac{1}{2} ,x_3=\frac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) For using Cramer's rule you need to find matrix A and the matrix B_j for each variable. The matrix A is formed with the coefficients of the variables in the system. The first step is to accommodate the equations, one under the other, to get A more easily.

2x_1+5x_2=1\\x_1+4x_2=2

\therefore A=\left[\begin{array}{cc}2&5\\1&4\end{array}\right]

To get B_1, replace in the matrix A the 1st column with the results of the equations:

B_1=\left[\begin{array}{cc}1&5\\2&4\end{array}\right]

To get B_2, replace in the matrix A the 2nd column with the results of the equations:

B_2=\left[\begin{array}{cc}2&1\\1&2\end{array}\right]

Apply the rule to solve x_1:

x_1=\frac{det\left(\begin{array}{cc}1&5\\2&4\end{array}\right)}{det\left(\begin{array}{cc}2&5\\1&4\end{array}\right)} =\frac{(1)(4)-(2)(5)}{(2)(4)-(1)(5)} =\frac{4-10}{8-5}=\frac{-6}{3}=-2\\x_1=-2

In the case of B2,  the determinant is going to be zero. Instead of using the rule, substitute the values ​​of the variable x_1 in one of the equations and solve for x_2:

2x_1+5x_2=1\\2(-2)+5x_2=1\\-4+5x_2=1\\5x_2=1+4\\ 5x_2=5\\x_2=1

(b) In this system, follow the same steps,ust remember B_3 is formed by replacing the 3rd column of A with the results of the equations:

2x_1+x_2 =1\\x_1+2x_2+x_3=0\\x_2+2x_3=0

\therefore A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&1&0\\1&2&1\\0&1&2\end{array}\right]

B_1=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&0\\0&2&1\\0&1&2\end{array}\right]

B_2=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&1&0\\1&0&1\\0&0&2\end{array}\right]

B_3=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&1&1\\1&2&0\\0&1&0\end{array}\right]

x_1=\frac{det\left(\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&0\\0&2&1\\0&1&2\end{array}\right)}{det\left(\begin{array}{ccc}2&1&0\\1&2&1\\0&1&2\end{array}\right)} =\frac{1(2)(2)+(0)(1)(0)+(0)(1)(1)-(1)(1)(1)-(0)(1)(2)-(0)(2)(0)}{(2)(2)(2)+(1)(1)(0)+(0)(1)(1)-(2)(1)(1)-(1)(1)(2)-(0)(2)(0)}\\ x_1=\frac{4+0+0-1-0-0}{8+0+0-2-2-0} =\frac{3}{4} \\x_1=\frac{3}{4}

x_2=\frac{det\left(\begin{array}{ccc}2&1&0\\1&0&1\\0&0&2\end{array}\right)}{det\left(\begin{array}{ccc}2&1&0\\1&2&1\\0&1&2\end{array}\right)} =\frac{(2)(0)(2)+(1)(0)(0)+(0)(1)(1)-(2)(0)(1)-(1)(1)(2)-(0)(0)(0)}{4} \\x_2=\frac{0+0+0-0-2-0}{4}=\frac{-2}{4}=-\frac{1}{2}\\x_2=-\frac{1}{2}

x_3=\frac{det\left(\begin{array}{ccc}2&1&1\\1&2&0\\0&1&0\end{array}\right)}{det\left(\begin{array}{ccc}2&1&0\\1&2&1\\0&1&2\end{array}\right)}=\frac{(2)(2)(0)+(1)(1)(1)+(0)(1)(0)-(2)(1)(0)-(1)(1)(0)-(0)(2)(1)}{4} \\x_3=\frac{0+1+0-0-0-0}{4}=\frac{1}{4}\\x_3=\frac{1}{4}

Hello,

There is a mistake: it is 816 cm² !!! (an area)

length are multiplied by 2,
so area are mutiplied by 2²=4
Area B=816*4=3264 (cm²)
