Answer:
<u>Option b. (x = 3, y = 20, z = -14)</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
2x + 2y + 3z = 4
5x + 3y + 5z = 5
3x + 4y + 6z = 5
Solve using Cramer’s rule
∴
∴A =
Ax =
Ay =
Az =
∴ x = Ax/A = -3/-1 = 3
y = Ay/A = -20/-1 = 20
z = Az/A = 14/-1 = -14
<u>So, the answer is option b. (x = 3, y = 20, z = -14)</u>
Answer:
y = 1.5x + 3.2009
Step-by-step explanation:
I plotted your points and drew a linear regression line.
Its equation is
y = 1.5x + 3.2009
The regression line ignores the fact that the points fall along a smooth curve.
A parabolic regression line fits the data much better.
The equation for that line is
y = - 0.1647x² + 4.1357x - 5.6946
It is the equation for a vertical parabola opening downward.
