There's no equation to solve, until you tell us
what that expression is equal to.
Answer:
because this is equal to the given matrix, the given matrix is symmetric.
Step-by-step explanation:
A symmetric matrix is a square matrix which has same number of rows and columns. Square matrix is equal to transpose. Equal matrices have equal dimensions. The given matrix is symmetric because the rows and columns are equally distributed.

Answer:
(a) 3 - 2x - 2x² (b) -21
Step-by-step explanation:
given, y +2x² = 3 -2x
make y the subject:
y = 3 - 2x - 2x²
if y = f(x)
then
f(x) = 3 - 2x - 2x²
(b)<u> to find f(3) we need to replace x with 3:</u>
<u />
3 - 2(3) - 2*(3)²
-21
