We are to find the time at which the height of basketball thrown by Eli and Karl is equal. We have the functions which model the heights of both basketballs. So by equating the functions representing the height of both basketballs we can find the value of x from that equation at which the height is same for both basketballs.
Thus after 1.25 seconds the height of basketballs thrown by Eli and Karl will be at the same height. This can be verified by finding the heights of both at x=1.25
For Eli:
For Karl:
Thus height of both basketball is equal after 1.25 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
All the 5 rows of the coefficient matrix (since it is of order 5×8) will have a pivot position. The augmented matrix obtained by adding a last column of constant terms to the 8 columns of the coefficient matrix will have nine columns and will not have a row of the form [0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1]. So the system is consistent.
The zero product property tells us that if we have
xy=0, then we can assume that x and y both equal 0
so
(4k+5)(k+7)=0
we can assume that 4k+5=0 and k+7=0
so
4k+5=0
minus 5 both sides
4k=-5
divide both sides by 4
k=-5/4
k+7=0
minus 7 both sides
k=-7
k=-5/4 or -7
Answer: the solutions to the system of equations are x = 2 and x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The system of equations given equation is
y = 3x - 2 - - - - - - - - - - 1
y = x^2 - - - - - - - - - - - - 2
Substituting 1 into equation 2, it becomes
x^2 = 3x - 2
x^2 - 3x + 2 = 0
We would apply the method of factorization in solving the equation. We will get two numbers such that when added, the result would be - 3x and when multiplied, the result would be 2x^2. The numbers are - 2x and - x. It becomes
x^2 - 2x - x + 2 = 0
x(x - 2) - 1(x - 2) = 0
(x - 2)(x - 1) = 0
x - 2 = 0 or x - 1 = 0
x = 2 or x = 1
.
You would cancel the common factors in the numerator and denominator.
