Find the value(s) of k such that the following system of equations has no solution

x + y + (k-1) = 2

kx - z = -3

6x +2y - 3z =1


One number is four times another number. Determine the two numbers of the sum of their reciprocals is 5/16


You are given the system of linear equations

"2x+ky=5, \\quad x+3y=7,"

where k is a constant.


The system above has no solution when k= _________________

Which of the following statements are true with regard to Gauss elimination when solving a system of linear equations? More than one answer may be correct




  1. Multiply one row of the augmented matrix by a non-zero constant.
  2. Add or subtract a multiple of one row of the augmented matrix to or from another row, while leaving one row unchanged.
  3. Interchange two rows of the augmented matrix.
  4. The system of equations to be solved must have as many unknowns as the number of equations.

You are given two matrices


"A=\\left(\\begin{array}{cccc}-4&-4&4\\\\-1&0&1\\\\-7&-6&7\\end{array}\\right)\\quad and \\quad B =\\left(\\begin{array}{cccc}4&4&-4\\\\1&0&-1\\\\7&6&-7\\end{array}\\right)"

Which of the following are true? More than one answer may be correct.


"A=B\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u200b"

"A=B^{T}"

"A=\u2212B"

"A_{22}=B_{22}"



3. Combine terms: 12a + 26b -4b – 16a.


(a) 4a + 22b,


(b) -28a + 30b,


(c) -4a + 22b,


(d) 28a + 30b.



Solution:


12a + 26b -4b – 16a.


= 12a – 16a + 26b – 4b.


= -4a + 22b.


If a, b and c are the roots of the equation x
