Answer:
Option b is correct (8,13).
Step-by-step explanation:
7x - 4y = 4
10x - 6y =2
it can be represented in matrix form as
A=
X=
B=
i.e, AX=B
or X= A⁻¹ B
A⁻¹ = 1/|A| * Adj A
determinant of A = |A|= (7*-6) - (-4*10)
= (-42)-(-40)
= (-42) + 40 = -2
so, |A| = -2
Adj A=
A⁻¹ = / -2
A⁻¹ =
X= A⁻¹ B
X=
X=
X=
X=
x= 8, y= 13
solution set= (8,13).
Option b is correct.
Answer:
a. Decay
b. 0.5
c. 4
Explanation:
If we have a function of the form
then
a = intital amount
b = growth / decay rate factor
x = time interval
If b > 1; then the equation is modelling growth. If b < 0, then the equation is modelling decay.
Now in our case, we have
Here we see that
inital amount = a = 4
b = 1/ 2 < 0, meaning the function is modeling decay
decay factor = b = 1/2
Therefore, the answers are
a. Decay
b. 0.5
c. 4
