Solve the system of equations by finding the reduced row echelon form of the augmented matrix. Write the solutions for x and y i
Gwar [14]

Answer:

The solutions for the given system of equations are:

\left \{ {{x=-5} \atop {y=12-4z}} \right.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation system:

\left \{ {{3x+y+4z=-3} \atop {-x+y+4z=17}} \right.

We obtain the following matrix:

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}3&1&4&-3\\-1&1&4&17\end{array}\right]

<u>Step 1:</u> Multiply the fisrt row by 1/3.

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&\frac{1}{3} &\frac{4}{3}&-1\\-1&1&4&17\end{array}\right]

<u>Step 2:</u> Sum the first row and the second row.

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&\frac{1}{3} &\frac{4}{3}&-1\\0&\frac{4}{3} &\frac{16}{3}&16\end{array}\right]

<u>Step 3:</u> Multiply the second row by 3/4.

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&\frac{1}{3} &\frac{4}{3}&-1\\0&1 &4&12\end{array}\right]

<u>Step 4:</u> Multiply the second row by -1/3 and sum the the first row.

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&0 &0&-5\\0&1 &4&12\end{array}\right]

The result of the reduced matrix is:

\left \{ {{x=-5} \atop {y+4z=12}} \right.

This is equal to:

\left \{ {{x=-5} \atop {y=12-4z}} \right.

These are the solutions for the system of equations in terms of z, where z can be any number.

A rectangular prism has a length of 12 centimeters, a width of 6 centimeters, and a height of 9 centimeters. A cross section is
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

<h2>The perimeter of the cross section is 30 centimeters.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we have the intersection of a rectangular prism an a plane.

The dimensions of the rectangular plane are

l=12cm\\w=6cm\\h=9cm

Assuming the plane is cutting the prism horizontally, the cross section would have dimensions

w=6cm\\l=9cm

Because only the height would be cut.

So, the perimeter of the rectangle cross-section is

P_{cross}=2(l+w)=2(6+9)=2(15)=30cm

Therefore, the perimeter of the cross section is 30 centimeters.
