The system of equations has the solution:

x = 111/42

y = 27/14

z = -15/6

We start with 3 linear equations:

2x+y-z=8

x+4y+z=7

-3x+2y-3z=21

To solve this, first we need to isolate one of the variables. I will isolate x on the second one:

x = 7 - 4y - z

Now we can replace that in the other two:

2*( 7 - 4y - z) + y - z = 8

-3*(7 - 4y - z) + 2y - 3z = 21

Now we need to isolate other variable, let's isolate y on the above one:

14 - 8y - 2z + y - z = 8

-7y - 3z = 8 - 14 = -6

z = (-6 + 7y)/-3 = 2 - (7/3)*y

Now we replace this on the last equation:

-21 + 12y -3z + 2y - 3z = 21

14y - 6z = 42

14y - 6*(2 - (7/3)*y) = 42

14y - 12 + 14y = 42

28y = 42 + 12 = 54

y = 54/28 = 27/14

Now that we know the value of y, we can find the value of z:

z = 2 - (7/3)*y = 2 - (7/3)*27/14 = 2 - 27/6 = -15/6

And the value of x:

x = 7 - 4y - z = 7 - 4*(27/14) + 15/6 = 7 - 48/7 + 15/6 = 111/42

So the solution is:

x = 111/42

y = 27/14

z = -15/6

Answer:

  7.2 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the trapezium can be found by making use of the area formula with known values filled in.

__

The area of a trapezium is given by ...

  A = 1/2(b1 +b2)h . . . . b1, b2 are the parallel sides, h is the height

Using the given values, we have ...

  90 cm² = 1/2(6 cm +19 cm)h . . . . . . use the known values

  (90 cm²)/(12.5 cm) = h = 7.2 cm . . . . divide by the coefficient of h

The height of the trapezium is 7.2 cm.

For an airplane has an airspeed of 530 kilometers per hour bearing N45 degrees E,  the ground speed of the plane and its direction is mathematically given as

Generally, the equation for the velocity of the plane is mathematically given as

[tex]Vp=Fcos\thetai+Fsin\theta j[/tex]

Therefore

Vp=530cos45i+530sin45j

Vp= 374.76i+374.76j

For wind speed

Vm=80cos(90+30)i+80sin(90+30)j

Vm=-40i+69.28j

Hence, there resultant is

Vr=Vm +Vp

Vr=374.76i+374.76j + 40i+69.28j

50% for necessities (housing, food, transportation, utilities) $740

30% for luxuries, savings, vacations, entertainment, etc. $461

20% for Emergency Funds and Retirement $335

A personal budget is the household budget for a single person for a period.

The personal budget shows an estimate of the person's revenue and expenses over the period.

Hourly rate of earnings = $12

Working hours per week = 40 hours

Working hours per month = 160 hours (40 x 4 weeks)

Total monthly earnings = $1,920 ($12 x 160)

Assumed tax rate = 20%

After-tax take-home pay = $1,536 ($1,920 x 1 - 20%)

Rent of apartment = $300

Heating = $40

Water cost = $20

Sewage bill = $10

Food = $300

Transportation = $50

Other costs = $20

Total cost for necessities = $740

The height of the mountain estimated by two students is 2,467.98 meters.

The height of the mountain is calculated as follows;

tanα = h/( a + b + x)

where;

tan37 = h/(1850 + 740 + x)

tan37 = h/(2590 + x)

h = tan37(2590 + x)

h =1,951.82 +  0.7536x  ---- (1)

tanβ = h/(b + x)

tan60 = h/(740 + x)

h = tan60(740 + x)

h = 1,281.68 + 1.732x ---- (2)

Solve (1) and (2) together

1,951.82 +  0.7536x = 1,281.68 + 1.732x

1,951.82  -  1,281.68 = 1.732x  -  0.7536x

670.14 = 0.9784x

x = 684.93 m

h = 1,281.68 + 1.732x

h = 1,281.68 + 1.732(684.93)

The question requires the computation of loss body fluid. The results show that Don Pedro's loss of body fluid per hour is 54,234ml/hours. See computation below.

This refer to the rate at which a human being loses water on the hour. The formula for this is given as:

The Body weight in lb x percentage rate of dehydration (given in decimal form) x 500.

Hence, Don Pedro's loss of fluid per house is:

82 x 0.6 x 500;

Recall that in the formula, the weight is given in lb. So we convert Pedro's weight to Lb.

1kg = 2.20462Lb

Hence

80kg = 80 * 2.20462 = 176.37

Hence

Pedro's loss of fluid per house =

(c). See attachment.

Answer:

longer leg: 20 in

shorter leg: 15 in

hypotenuse: 25 in

Formulas:

Pythagorean Theorem

[tex]c^2 = a^2 + b^2[/tex]

c ... hypotenuse

a ... one leg

b ... another leg

Pythagorean theorem is used in right triangles (triangles in which one angle is 90°).

Step-by-step explanation:

longer leg: x

shorter leg: x - 5

hypotenuse: x + 5

To find x (longer leg), let's use Pythagorean theorem.

[tex]c^2 = a^2 + b^2\\(x+5)^2 = x^2 + (x-5)^2\\x^2 + 10x + 25= x^2 + x^2 -10x + 25\\x^2 + 10x = 2x^2 - 10x\\0 = x^2 - 20x[/tex]

Now let's factorize to get solutions for x.

[tex]0 = x(x-20)[/tex]

First solution:

[tex]x = 0[/tex]

Second solution:

[tex]x - 20 = 0\\x = 20[/tex]

Since a side of a triangle has to be a positive number, x is equal to 20.

Now let's just substitute x back to get side lengths. From the question the lengths are in inches.

longer leg: x = 20 in

shorter leg: x - 5 = 20 - 5 = 15 in

hypotenuse: x + 5 = 20 + 5 = 25 in

Answer: even

Step-by-step explanation:

A function is even if f(x)=f(-x), and odd if f(x)=-f(-x). If a function satisfies neither of these, it is neither even nor odd.

[tex]f(x)_=-6x^{2}-5x^{2}-2=-11x^{2}-2\\\\f(-x)=-11(-x)^{2}-2=-11x^{2}-2\\\\\therefore f(x)=f(-x)[/tex]

Therefore, the function is even.

Answer:

(i)  (0, -32)

(ii)  (-4, 0) and (8, 0)

(iii)  x = 2

(iv)  (2, -36)

(v)  (2, -36) minimum

Step-by-step explanation:

Given quadratic equation:

[tex]y=x^2-4x-32[/tex]

Part (i)

The y-intercept is the point at which the curve crosses the y-axis.

To find the y-intercept, substitute x = 0 into the given equation:

[tex]\implies (0)^2-4(0)-32=-32[/tex]

Therefore, the y-intercept is at (0, -32)

Part (ii)

The zeros are the points at which the curve crosses the x-axis.

To find the zeros, substitute y = 0 into the given equation and factor:

[tex]\implies x^2-4x-32=0[/tex]

[tex]\implies x^2-8x+4x-32=0[/tex]

[tex]\implies x(x-8)+4(x-8)=0[/tex]

[tex]\implies (x+4)(x-8)=0[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex](x+4)=0 \implies x=-4[/tex]

[tex](x-8)=0 \implies x=8[/tex]

So the zeros are (-4, 0) and (8, 0)

Part (iii)

The axis of symmetry is a vertical straight line that divides the curve into two symmetrical parts.  The axis of symmetry is the x-value of the mid-point of the zeros.

[tex]\sf \implies midpoint=\dfrac{8+(-4)}{2}=2[/tex]

Therefore, the axis of symmetry is:  x = 2

Part (iv)

The vertex is the turning point of the parabola.

If the leading coefficient is positive, the parabola opens upwards and the vertex is the minimum point.  

If the leading coefficient is negative, the parabola opens downwards and the vertex is the maximum point.

The axis of symmetry is the x-value of the vertex.

To find the y-value, substitute x = 2 into the equation:

[tex]\implies (2)^2-4(2)-32=-36[/tex]

Therefore, the vertex is (2, -36)

Part (v)

The optimal value is also known as the vertex.

Therefore, the optimal value is (2, -36).  

As the leading coefficient of the given quadratic equation is positive, the parabola opens upwards and so the optimal value is a minimum.

The values of the functions are:

1. y = f(-7) = 128

2. y = f(5) = 0.0313

We can evaluate a function by substituting the given value into the equation of the function, then simplify.

Given the function, y = f(x) = (1/2) ^ x

1. Find the value of f(-7):

y = f(-7) = (1/2)^-7

y = f(-7) = 2^7

y = f(-7) = 128
