The answer would be A i hope this helped
-1 Let's say the set of downs starts at the 20 yard line (maybe the kicking team kicked deep, the receiving team took a knee and so play starts at the 20).
Ok - we're at the 20. First down - they advance 5 yards. So we're now at the 25. We can write that mathematically as:
20
+
5
=
25
So the second play they get sacked deep and lose 6 yards. So we subtract 6:
25
−
6
=
19
So what's the change in yardage for the 2 plays? We are on the 19 and started at the 20, so we can write:
19
−
20
=
−
1
and this makes sense because we know we advanced 5 and fell back 6
Answer:
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5&7\\5&-8\\3&-9\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}c\\d\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-16\\3\\-15\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D5%267%5C%5C5%26-8%5C%5C3%26-9%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Dc%5C%5Cd%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D-16%5C%5C3%5C%5C-15%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
This tells us that:
![A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5&7\\5&-8\\3&-9\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=A%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D5%267%5C%5C5%26-8%5C%5C3%26-9%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
![b=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-16\\3\\-15\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=b%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D-16%5C%5C3%5C%5C-15%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Step-by-step explanation:
So we are saying we have scalars, c and d, such that:
![c\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5\\5\\ 3\end{array}\right]+d\left[\begin{array}{ccc}7\\-8\\-9\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-16\\3\\-15\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=c%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D5%5C%5C5%5C%5C%203%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%2Bd%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D7%5C%5C-8%5C%5C-9%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D-16%5C%5C3%5C%5C-15%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
.
So we want to find a way to express this as:
Ax=b where x is the scalar vector, ![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}c\\d\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Dc%5C%5Cd%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
.
So we can write this as:
