Solve the system of equations.
Xelga [282]

Answer:

  b.  x=1, y=2, z=3

Step-by-step explanation:

The system of equations ...

  • 3x +2y +z = 10
  • 9x -6y +z = 0
  • x -y -3z = -10

has solution (x, y, z) = (1, 2, 3) . . . . matches choice B.

_____

While it is convenient to solve this using a graphing calculator or web site, one can easily solve the system by hand.

Subtract the second equation from 3 times the first:

  3(3x +2y +z) -(9x -6y +z) = 3(10) -(0)

  12y + 2z = 30 . . . . simplify

Dividing this result by 2 gives ...

  6y +z = 15 . . . . . . [eq4]

Subtract 3 times the third equation from the first:

  (3x +2y +z) -3(x -y -3z) = (10) -3(-10)

  5y +10z = 40 . . . . simplify

  y + 2z = 8 . . . . . . . divide by 5 . . . . . [eq5]

The two equations [eq4] and [eq5] can be solved any of the ways you usually solve two equations in two variables. Here, we'll use the first equation to write an expression for z that we can substitute into the second equation.

  z = 15 -6y . . . . . subtract 6y from [eq4]

  y + 2(15 -6y) = 8 . . . . . substitute for z in [eq5]

  -11y +30 = 8 . . . . . simplify

  -11y = -22 . . . . . . . subtract 30

  y = 2 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of y

  z = 15 -6(2) = 3 . . . . substitute for y in our equation for z

Substituting these values for y and z into the third original equation gives ...

  x - 2 -3(3) = -10

  x -11 = -10 . . . . . . . . simplify

  x = 1 . . . . . . . . . . . . add 11

The solution to the above system of equations is (x, y, z) = (1, 2, 3).

<em>Comment on the problem statement</em>

Math is generally unforgiving of imprecision. The given system of equations has no variable "z", and some other typos are apparently involved. That is why we rewrote the system to the equations shown above.

It is very easy to mistake z for 2, or g for 9, or o for 0, or 1 for 7. There are other confusions that are possible, as well. Letters I (eye) and l (ell) are easily confused, and may be confused with 1 (one) as well. Sometimes y and 4, or 4 and 9, can also be written so as to be difficult to tell apart. Great care must be taken when handwriting these symbols.

The population of a colony of mosquitoes obeys the law of uninhibited growth. If there are 1000 mosquitoes initially and there a
Anettt [7]

Answer:

1) The size of the colony after 4 ​days is 6553 mosquitoes

2) After t = 4.9\ days

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question you must use the growth formula

N = N_0e ^ {kt}

Where

N_0 is the initial population of mosquitoes = 1000

t is the time in days

k is the growth rate

N is the population according to the number of days

We know that when t = 1 and N_0=1000 then N = 1600

Then we use these values to find k.

1600 = 1000e ^{k(1)}\\\\\frac{1600}{1000} = e ^ k\\\\ln(\frac{1600}{1000}) = k\\\\k = 0.47

Now that we know k we can find the size of the colony after 4 days.

N = 1000e ^ {0.47(4)}\\\\N = 6553\ mosquitoes

To know how long it should take for the population to reach 10,000 mosquitoes we must do N = 10000 and solve for t.

10000 = 1000e ^ {0.47t}\\\\10 = e ^ {0.47t}\\\\ln(10) = 0.47t\\\\t = \frac{ln(10)}{0.47}\\\\t = 4.9\ days
