We want to find the values of a, b, c, and d such that the given matrix product is equal to a 2x2 identity matrix. We will solve a system of equations to find:

b = 1
a = -1
c = -2
d = -1

<h3>Presenting the equation:</h3>

Basically, we want to solve:

$\left[\begin{array}{cc}-1&2\\a&1\end{array}\right]*\left[\begin{array}{cc}b&c\\1&d\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{cc}1&0\\0&1\end{array}\right]$

The matrix product will be:

$\left[\begin{array}{cc}-b + 2&-c + 2d\\a*b + 1&a*c + d\end{array}\right]$

Then we must have:

-b + 2 = 1

This means that:

b = 2 - 1 = 1

b = 1

We also need to have:

a*b + 1 = 0

we know the value of b, so we just have:

a*1 + b = 0

a = -1

Now the two remaining equations are:

-c + 2d = 0

a*c + d = 1

Replacing the value of a we get:

-c + 2d = 0

-c + d = 1

Isolating c in the first equation we get:

c = 2d

Replacing that in the other equation we get:

-(2d) + d = 1

-d = 1

d = -1

Then:

c = 2d = 2*(-1) = -2

c = -2

So the values are:

b = 1
a = -1
c = -2
d = -1

Solve F(x) for the given domain

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is A) 2

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, input 1 into the equation for each value of x that you see.

f(x) = x^2 + 3x - 2

f(1) = 1^2 + 3(1) - 2

f(1) = 1 + 3 - 2

f(1) = 2

On Monday, 341 students went on a trip to the zoo. All 6 buses were filled and 5 students had to travel in cars. How many studen

Otrada [13]

Answer:

If 4 students travelled in cars, then 341 - 5 = 336students travelled by bus.

There were 5 buses. 336÷ 6 = 56

There were 56 students on each bus.
