Answer:

  (x | x = 0.5 or x = 4.5}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation resolves to two:

  2x -5 = 4

  2x = 9 . . . . . . add 5

  x = 9/2 = 4.5 . . . . divide by 2

and ...

  2x -5 = -4

  2x = 1 . . . . . . add 5

  x = 1/2 = 0.5 . . . . divide by 2

Then the solution set is ...

  (x | x = 0.5 or x = 4.5} . . . . . . matches the first choice

Billy found the slope of the line through the points (2,5) and (-2,-5) using the equation
Shkiper50 [21]
Slope is calculated as the change in y over the change in x so you would need to do 5- (-5) which turns the negative sign to a positive making it 5+5=10 and the same thing with the 2s 2-(-2)=4 so the answer would be 10/4 or 5/2. Billy did the reciprocal.

Find the values of x, y, and λ that satisfy the system of equations. Such systems arise in certain problems of calculus, and λ i
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

x=4, y=4, λ=-16

Step-by-step explanation:

We have this 3x3 system of linear equations:

4x+λ=0

4y+λ=0

x+y=8

So, let's rewrite the system in its augmented matrix form

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}4&0&1&0\\0&4&1&0\\1&1&0&8\end{array}\right]

Let´s apply row reduction process to  its associated augmented matrix:

Swap R1 and R3

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&1&0&8\\0&4&1&0\\4&0&1&0\end{array}\right]

R3-4R1

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&1&0&8\\0&4&1&0\\0&-4&1&-32\end{array}\right]

R3+R2

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&1&0&8\\0&4&1&0\\0&0&2&-32\end{array}\right]

Now we have a simplified system:

x+y+0=0

0+4y+λ=0

0+0+2λ=-32

Solving for λ, x, and y

λ=-16

x=4

y=4
