What is the answer to this how to work it
1 answer:
9514 1404 393
Answer:
(A) -7
Step-by-step explanation:
The function is continuous if you can draw its graph without lifting your pencil. In this case, that means each of the piecewise function definitions must have the same value at x=3.
x^2 +2 = 6x +k . . . . . must be true at x=3
3^2 +2 = 6(3) +k . . . . substitute 3 for x
9 +2 -18 = k . . . . . . . . subtract 18
k = -7 . . . . . . . simplify

Yes, we can obtain a diagonal matrix by multiplying two non diagonal matrix.
Consider the matrix multiplication below
![\left[\begin{array}{cc}a&b\\c&d\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{cc}e&f\\g&h\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{cc}a e+b g&a f+b h\\c e+d g&c f+d h\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7Da%26b%5C%5Cc%26d%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%20%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7De%26f%5C%5Cg%26h%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%3D%20%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7Da%20e%2Bb%20g%26a%20f%2Bb%20h%5C%5Cc%20e%2Bd%20g%26c%20f%2Bd%20h%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20)
For the product to be a diagonal matrix,
a f + b h = 0 ⇒ a f = -b h
and c e + d g = 0 ⇒ c e = -d g
Consider the following sets of values
The the matrix product becomes:
![\left[\begin{array}{cc}1&2\\3&4\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{cc}\frac{1}{3}&-1\\-\frac{1}{4}&\frac{1}{2}\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{cc}\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{2}&-1+1\\1-1&-3+2\end{array}\right]= \left[\begin{array}{cc}-\frac{1}{6}&0\\0&-1\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D1%262%5C%5C3%264%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B3%7D%26-1%5C%5C-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%7D%26%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%3D%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B3%7D-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%26-1%2B1%5C%5C1-1%26-3%2B2%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%3D%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B6%7D%260%5C%5C0%26-1%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Thus, as can be seen we can obtain a diagonal matrix that is a product of non diagonal matrices.
