Consider the contrapositive of the statement you want to prove.

The contrapositive of the logical statement

<em>p</em> ⇒ <em>q</em>

is

¬<em>q</em> ⇒ ¬<em>p</em>

In this case, the contrapositive claims that

"If there are no scalars <em>α</em> and <em>β</em> such that <em>c</em> = <em>α</em><em>a</em> + <em>β</em><em>b</em>, then <em>a₁b₂</em> - <em>a₂b₁</em> = 0."

The first equation is captured by a system of linear equations,

\begin{cases}c_1 = \alpha a_1 + \beta b_1\\ c_2 = \alpha a_2 + \beta b_2\end{cases}

or in matrix form,

\begin{pmatrix}c_1\\c_2\end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix}a_1&b_1\\a_2&b_2\end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix}\alpha\\\beta\end{pmatrix}

If this system has no solution, then the coefficient matrix on the right side must be singular and its determinant would be

\begin{vmatrix}a_1&b_1\\a_2&b_2\end{vmatrix} = a_1b_2-a_2b_1 = 0

and this is what we wanted to prove. QED

You have 12 cups of granola and 8 1/2 cups of peanuts to make trail mix. What is the greatest number of full batches of trail mi
nikitadnepr [17]
Hello! Sorry that I'm late. Okay, so each batch calls for 2 2/3 cups of granola and 1 1/3 cups of peanuts. Let's divide the number of cups available total by the amount per batch. To divide fractions, keep the first fraction the same, change division into multiplication, and flip the other faction over. Let's do it. 12/1 * 3/8 = 36/8 or 4 1/2 in mixed number form. 17/2 * 3/4 = 51/8 or 6 3/8 in simplest form. You can only make 4 full batches of trail mix, because you can only use the full serving of both granola AND peanuts for 4 of them.

Part 1: Use the information provided to write the standard form equation of each circle. Please show the work.
dusya [7]

Answer:

1. (x + 2)² + (y - 9)² = 64

2. (x + 6)² + (y - 9/2)² = 100

3. (x - 15)² + (y + 10)² = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a circle:

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

1. Center: (-2, 9), Radius: 8

(x - (-2))² + (y - 9)² = 8²

(x + 2)² + (y - 9)² = 64

2. Center: (-6, 9/2), Radius: 10

(x - (-6))² + (y - (9/2))² = 10²

(x + 6)² + (y - 9/2)² = 100

3. Center: (15, -10), Radius: 1

(x - 15)² + (y - (-10))² = 1²

(x - 15)² + (y + 10)² = 1
