-4x - 5y - z = 18
-2x - 5y -2z=12
-2x + 5y +2z=4
A) (4,0,2)
B) (-4,0,-2)
C) (-4,2,0)
D) (-4,0,2)
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
When we have multiple answers, we can check each to find the solution. Each ordered pair is written as (x,y,z). We substitute each into the equations to find which satisfy all equations and which do not.
A) (4,0,2)
-4(4)-5(0)-(2)=18
-16-0-2=18
Not a solution
B) (-4,0,-2)
-4(-4)-5(0)-(-2)=18
16-0+2=18
18=18 is true. We now try the other equations.
-2(-4)-5(0)-2(-2)=12
8-0+4=12
12=12
We try the last equation.
-2(-4)+5(0)+2(-2)=4
8+0+-4=4
4=4
We no longer need to try C or D because a system of equations only has one solution. B is the solution.
Answer: 63%
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the rate of loss that would cause the average rate of loss over the 10-year period equal to 38.0%.
Assume that rate is x.
38 = (36.2 + 29.0 + 46.2 + 37.5 + 40.9 + 40.0 + 32.6 + 40.5 + 40.1 + x) / 10
38 = (343 + x ) / 10
380 = 343 + x
x = 380 - 343
x = 37%
The survival rate is the opposite of the rate of loss which means that the survival rate is;
= 1 - rate of loss
= 1 - 37%
= 63%
b. x=82, y=-10, z=9
c. x=-116, y=28,z=37
d. x=6,y=-14,z=1
