in exercises 1 through 10, find all solutions of the linear systems using elimination.Then check your solutions.

2.4x+3y=27x+5y=3

Short Answer

Expert verified

The solution of system of equation is x=-1,y=2

Step by step solution

01

 Step 1:Transforming the system

To get the solution, we will transform the value of x,y

4x+3y=27x+5y=3 Into the form x=....y=....

02

Eliminating the variables

In the given system of equations, we can eliminate the variables by adding or subtracting the equations.

In this system, we can eliminate the variable x from equation 1. First of all, multiply the first equation by 7 and multiply the second equation by 4.

28x+21y=1428x+20y=12

Now subtract the second equation from the first equation we get.

28x-28x+21y-20y=14-1228x+20y=12=y=228x+20y=12

Now put the value of y in thesecond equation.

y=228x+20(2)=12=y=228x=12-40=y=2x=-1

03

Checking the solution

Now check the solution by putting the value of x and y in the given system of equation.

28-1+212=14?28-1+202=12?-28+42=14?-28+40=?1214=1412=12

Verified.

Hence, the solution of system of equation is x=-1,y=2

Consider some particles in the plane with position vectors r1,r2,.....,rnand massesm1,m2,.....,mn .

The position vector of the center of mass of this system is

rcm=1M(m1r1+m2r2+.....+mnrn)

whereM=m1+m2+.....+mn .

Consider the triangular plate shown in the accompanying sketch. How must a total mass of be distributed among the three vertices of the plate so that the plate can be supported at the point[22] ; that is,rcm=[22] ? Assume that the mass of the plate itself is negligible.

Question 11: The system[123456000]xR=[123] is inconsistent.

Balancing a chemical reaction. Consider the chemical reaction

aNO2+bH2OcHNO2+dHNO3,

where a, b, c, and d are unknown positive integers. The reaction must be balanced; that is, the number of atoms of each element must be the same before and after the reaction. For example, because the number of oxygen atoms must remain the same,

2a+b=2c+3d.

While there are many possible values for a,b,c and d that balance the reaction, it is customary to use the smallest possible positive integers. Balance this reaction.

Consider an n× mmatrix A, an r× smatrix B, and a vectorxinp. For which values of n, m, r,s, and pis the productA(Bx)defined?

Three merchants find a purse lying in the road. One merchant says, “If I keep the purse, I will have twice as much money as the two of you together.” “Give me the purse and I will have three times as much as the two of you together,” said the second merchant. The third merchant said, “I will be much better off than either of you if I keep the purse, I will have five times as much as the two of you together.” If there are coins (of equal value) in the purse, how much money does each merchant have?
