When two dice are thrown simultaneously, thus number of event can be 62 = 36 because each die has 1 to 6 number on its faces. Then the possible outcomes are shown in the below table.
Write the system in augmented-matrix form:
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}2&2&4&16\\5&-2&3&-1\\1&2&-3&-9\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Cc%7D2%262%264%2616%5C%5C5%26-2%263%26-1%5C%5C1%262%26-3%26-9%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Multiply through row 1 by 1/2:
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&1&2&8\\5&-2&3&-1\\1&2&-3&-9\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Cc%7D1%261%262%268%5C%5C5%26-2%263%26-1%5C%5C1%262%26-3%26-9%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Add -1(row 1) to row 3, and add -5(row 1) to row 2:
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&1&2&8\\0&-7&-7&-41\\0&1&-5&-17\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Cc%7D1%261%262%268%5C%5C0%26-7%26-7%26-41%5C%5C0%261%26-5%26-17%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Swap rows 2 and 3:
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&1&2&8\\0&1&-5&-17\\0&-7&-7&-41\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Cc%7D1%261%262%268%5C%5C0%261%26-5%26-17%5C%5C0%26-7%26-7%26-41%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Add -7(row 2) to row 3:
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&1&2&8\\0&1&-5&-17\\0&0&-42&-160\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Cc%7D1%261%262%268%5C%5C0%261%26-5%26-17%5C%5C0%260%26-42%26-160%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Multiply through row 3 by -1/42:
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&1&2&8\\0&1&-5&-17\\0&0&1&\frac{80}{21}\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Cc%7D1%261%262%268%5C%5C0%261%26-5%26-17%5C%5C0%260%261%26%5Cfrac%7B80%7D%7B21%7D%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Add 5(row 3) to row 2:
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&1&2&8\\0&1&0&\frac{43}{21}\\0&0&1&\frac{80}{21}\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Cc%7D1%261%262%268%5C%5C0%261%260%26%5Cfrac%7B43%7D%7B21%7D%5C%5C0%260%261%26%5Cfrac%7B80%7D%7B21%7D%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Add -1(row 2) and -2(row3) to row 1:
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&0&0&-\frac53\\0&1&0&\frac{43}{21}\\0&0&1&\frac{80}{21}\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Cc%7D1%260%260%26-%5Cfrac53%5C%5C0%261%260%26%5Cfrac%7B43%7D%7B21%7D%5C%5C0%260%261%26%5Cfrac%7B80%7D%7B21%7D%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
So the solution to the system is

Answer:
I believe that the answer is k=4.
Step-by-step explanation:
Because in order for a new function to be narrower than its parent function, the absolute value of k must be greater than 1 (k > 1), and for a new function to open in the same direction as its parent function, it must be positive, that leaves with only four as our answer.
Let the number of bags that he would have been used to put 3 kg of apples be x. Thus the number of bags that would be used to put 2kgs will therefore be (x+9), hence the total number of kgs the bags will hold will be given by:
3*x=3x kgs
2(x+9)=(2x+18) kgs
since the total weights are the same then:
2x+18=3x
hence
18=3x-2x
18=x
thus the number of bags required to put 3 kgs of apples will be 18. Thus the total Kgs of apples was:
3x
=3*18
=54 kgs
Answer:
r=1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
the geometric sequence is being multiplied by 1/2 every time
28/2=14
14/2=7
7/2=3.5 and so on
