Solve the system of equations: X+y+z=5 -3x-4y+4z=15 2x-y-4z=-8

Answer:

  (x, y, z) = (3, -2, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The attachment shows a solution using a graphing calculator where the first equation is solved for z, and that expression is substituted into each of the other two equations. The solution to that system is (x, y) = (3, -2). Using these values in the expression for z, we find ...

  z = 5 -(3 +(-2)) = 4

The solution is (x, y, z) = (3, -2, 4).

__

Your graphing calculator and/or online tools can give you the reduced row echelon form of the augmented matrix representing the system:

  \left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&1&1&5\\-3&-4&4&15\\2&-1&-4&-8\end{array}\right]

__

If you're solving by hand, you can do the substitution described above to eliminate z from one equation. You can eliminate z from another equation by adding the last two:

  -3x -4y +4(5 -x -y) = 15   ⇒   -7x -8y = -5

  (-3x -4y +4z) +(2x -y -4z) = (15) +(-8)   ⇒   -x -5y = 7

This pair of equations can be solved for x and y in any of the usual ways. Using the second equation to substitute for x, for example, gives you ...

  -7(-5y -7) -8y = -5   ⇒   27y = -54   ⇒   y = -2

  x = -5(-2) -7 = 3

  z = 5 -(3) -(-2) = 4

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

If all that is needed is a solution, we prefer a graphical or matrix approach. These take about the same amount of time. Both require a little additional effort to determine exact values when the solutions are not integers.

devon writes a number pattern. he starts wit 3 and follows the rules. multiply by 2. which numbers could be in devons pattern? A
Pie

Answer:

C. 24 and 96

Step-by-step explanation:

He starts with 3 and follows the rules. multiply by 2

which numbers could be in devons pattern?

3 × 2 = 6

6 × 2 = 12

12 × 2 = 24

24 × 2 = 48

48 × 2 = 96

96 × 2 = 192

The numbers that could be in Devon's pattern includes: 6, 12, 24, 48, 96, 192 etc

Therefore, the answer is C. 24 and 96

Interpret the average rate of change of –14/3 that you found previously. What does this mean in terms of the waterslide, from x
Yanka [14]

Answer:

Solution: The average rate of change of  represents that the second variable is decrease by 14 if the first variable increase by 3. In terms of water slide the vertical height of slide is decreased at the rate of 4.66 per unit. The vertical height of the slide decrease 70 units from x = 0 to x = 15.

Explanation:

The rate of change shows the change in first variable with respect to change in second variable.

If the rate of chang is given by  it means second variable is decrease by 14 if the first variable increase by 3.

In the context of water slide it shows that the vertical height of slide is decreased by 14 units as we cover the distance of 3 units.

If we cover the distance from x = 0 to x = 15, it means we cover the distance of 15 units.

Let the vertical height of the slide covered from x = 0 to x =15 be y.

It means when distance increased by 15 units the height of slide decreased by y units.

So rate of change = .

It is given that the rate of change is .

Equate both equations.

Therefore, the average rate of change of  represents that the second variable is decrease by 14 if the first variable increase by 3. In terms of water slide the vertical height of slide is decreased at the rate of 4.66 per unit. The vertical height of the slide decrease 70 units from x = 0 to x = 15.
