Describe and correct the error made in solving the system of equations by elimination

1 answer:

6 0

The mistake was when she multiplied the 2nd equation by 5, she forgot to also multiply that last number 10 by 5 as well.

correction :
5x + 3y - z = 15
-x + 2y + 3z = 10...multiply by 5
---------------------
5x + 3y - z = 15
-5x + 10y + 15z = 50 (result of multiplying by 5)
--------------------add
13y + 14z = 65

The rectangles shown are similar. What is the value of x?

drek231 [11]

Since the rectangles are similar. The ratio of their sides will be the same.

So, we can write:

$x:18 = 4:6 \\ \\ 
 \frac{x}{18}= \frac{4}{6} \\ \\ 
x = \frac{4}{6} * 18 = 12$

Therefore, the left side of the bigger rectangle will be 12 units in length.

Describe the types of transformation given by each parameter in g(x) = -4f(-x + 2) + 6

forsale [732]

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting with f(x)

f(x)

f(-x) ...... reflection in the y - axis

f(-x+2) ..... horizontal translation by 2 units in the negative x-direction

f(-x+2) + 6 ...... vertical translation by 6 units in the positive y-direction

4f(-x+2) + 6 ..... scaling (or dilation) by a factor of 4

-4f(-x+2) + 6 ..... reflection in the x-axis
