]Eigenvectors are found by the equation
implying that
. We then can write:
![A-\lambda I = \left [ \begin{array}{cc} 4-\lambda & 2 \\ 5 & 1-\lambda \end{array}\right ]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20A-%5Clambda%20I%20%3D%20%5Cleft%20%5B%20%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D%204-%5Clambda%20%26%202%20%5C%5C%205%20%26%201-%5Clambda%20%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%20%5D%20)
And:
Gives us the characteristic polynomial:
So, solving for each eigenvector subspace:
![\left [ \begin{array}{cc} 4 & 2 \\ 5 & 1 \end{array} \right ] \left [ \begin{array}{c} x \\ y \end{array} \right ] = \left [ \begin{array}{c} -x \\ -y \end{array} \right ]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%20%5B%20%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D%204%20%26%202%20%5C%5C%205%20%26%201%20%5Cend%7Barray%7D%20%5Cright%20%5D%20%5Cleft%20%5B%20%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bc%7D%20x%20%5C%5C%20y%20%5Cend%7Barray%7D%20%5Cright%20%5D%20%3D%20%5Cleft%20%5B%20%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bc%7D%20-x%20%5C%5C%20-y%20%5Cend%7Barray%7D%20%5Cright%20%5D%20)
Gives us the system of equations:
Producing the subspace along the line
We can see then that 3 is the answer.
Answer: the cost of each bush is $15
the cost of each flower is $2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the cost of each bush.
Let y represent the cost of each flower.
Portia bought 12 bushes and 30 flowers for $240 to plant in her yard. This is expressed as
12x + 30y = 240- - - - - - - - - - -1
Later, she realized she did not have enough plants and bought 7 more bushes and 10 more flowers for $125. This is expressed as
7x + 10y = 125- - - - - - - - - - -2
Multiplying equation 1 by 7 and equation 2 by 12, it becomes
84x + 210y = 1680
84x + 120y = 1500
Subtracting, it becomes
90y = 180
y = 180/90
y = 2
Substituting y = 2 into equation 1, it becomes
12x + 30 × 2 = 240
12x + 60 = 240
12x = 240 - 60 = 180
x = 180/12
x = 15
I believe the answer would be -2 and -11 hope this helped!
