5 0

Answer:

A) 0 (no solutions)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the equation:

3x - 10(x+2) = 13 - 7x

3x - 10x -20 = 13 - 7x

-7x - 20 = 13 - 7x

-20 = 13

Since both sides are clearly not equal to each other, no solution can satisfy both sides to be equal to each other. So A is correct.

Let r3 have the euclidean inner product. let u = (-1, 1, 1) and v = (-7, 6, 15). if ||ku + v||= 7, what is k? give the exact ans

Ma $k\mathbf u+\mathbf v=k(-1,1,1)+(-7,6,15)=(-k-7,k+6,k+15)$

Recall that for a vector $\mathbf x\in\mathbb R^n$ , we have $\|\mathbf x\|=\sqrt{\mathbf x\cdot\mathbf x}$ . So we have

$\|k\mathbf u+\mathbf v\|=\sqrt{(k\mathbf u+\mathbf v)(k\mathbf u+\mathbf v)}=7$
$\implies k^2\mathbf u\cdot\mathbf u+2k\mathbf u\cdot\mathbf v+\mathbf v\cdot\mathbf v=49$
$\implies3k^2+56k+261=0$
$\implies k=-9,-\dfrac{29}3$
