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:

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

Step 1: Multiply the fisrt row by 1/3.

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

Step 2: Sum the first row and the second row.

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

Step 3: Multiply the second row by 3/4.

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

Step 4: 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.

Two number cubes are rolled. What is the probability that the sum of the numbers rolled is either 3 or 9?

MariettaO [177]

$|\Omega|=6^2=36\\ |A|=\underbrace{2}_{\text{the sum is 3}}+\underbrace{4}_{\text{the sum is 9}}=6\\\\ P(A)=\dfrac{6}{36}=\dfrac{1}{6}\approx17\%$
