Solve the following system by the substitution method.1/4x+2/3y=-17/43x-y=3

1 answer:

6 0

3x - y = 3.....3x - 3 = y

1/4x + 2/3(3x - 3) = -17/4
1/4x + 2x - 2 = -17/4 ...multiply everything by 4
x + 8x - 8 = -17
9x = -17 + 8
9x = - 9
x = -1

3x - y = 3
3(-1) - y = 3
-3 - y = 3
-3 - 3 = y
-6 = y

solution is (-1,-6)

If u = 2i - j; v= -5i + 4j and w = j find 4u (v -w).

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

-40

Explanation:

Given

u = 2i - j; v= -5i + 4j and w = j

Required

4u(v-w)

4u = 4(2i) = 8i

v - w = -5i + 4j - j

v - w = -5i + 3j

Substitute

4u(v-w)

= 8i(-5i+3j)

= -40(i*i) [since i*i = 1]

= -40

Hence the required solution is -40

Which matrix equation represents the system of equations?<br><br> {-x+ 2y = 0 <br> y= -2

Snowcat [4.5K]

We are given a system of equations,

$\begin{cases}-x+2y=0\\y=-2\\ \end{cases}$

This will translate into a 2x2 matrix of coefficients (because 2 equations and 2 unknowns),

$\begin{bmatrix}-1&2\\0&1\\ \end{bmatrix}$

The matrix will then be applied to the vector (lower dimensions on top),

$\begin{bmatrix}x\\y\\ \end{bmatrix}$

And the result vector will be whats on the other side of equals sign,

$\begin{bmatrix}0\\-2\\ \end{bmatrix}$

So to put everything together,

$\begin{bmatrix}-1&2\\0&1\\ \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}x\\y\\ \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}0\\-2\\ \end{bmatrix}$

Hope this helps :)

Which of the trigonometric ratios has a value that is undefined?

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

$\tan \left(\frac{\pi }{2}\right)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that tan(x) is defined as sin(x)/cos(x):

$\tan \left(\frac{\pi }{2}\right),\\\sin \left(\frac{\pi }{2}\right)=1,\\\cos \left(\frac{\pi }{2}\right)=0,\\\\$

$\tan \left(\frac{\pi }{2}\right) = 1/0 \\$

1/0 is undefined as 0 is in the denominator
