Linear Algebra

Linear algebra is the detailed study of vector spaces. With applications in such disparate fields as sociology, economics, computer programming, chemistry, and physics, including its essential role in mathematically describing quantum mechanics and the theory of relativity, linear algebra has become one of the most essential mathematical disciplines for the modern world. Please direct all questions regarding matrices, determinants, eigenvalues, eigenvectors, and linear transformations into this category.

Why is knowledge of Algebra is essential for an engineer?

Algebra is used to solve simple problems involving know and unknown variables.

What is the answer for 1-x-2 over 6x-1 equals zero?

For any fraction to equal zero, the numerator has to equal zero. So, we have to make 1-x-2=0. Simplify and get x=-1.

If you meant 1-x^2, then do the same thing: 1-x^2=0. Simplify and get x=±1

In trigonometry what are three values that are not defined?

Cosecant of k*pi radians Secant of 0.5*(2k+1)*pi radians

Cotangent of k*pi radians

where k is an integer.

What is the x-intercept if the y-intercept is y2x-3?

Unfortunately, limitations of the browser used by Answers.com means that we cannot see most symbols. It is therefore impossible to give a proper answer to your question. Please resubmit your question spelling out the symbols as "plus", "minus", "times", "equals".

There is no equation given in the question. However, the x-intercept can be obtained by letting y = 0 in the equation and solving for x.

What is an example of an MTAP problem with a solution?

problem:

The product of two whole numbers is 10,000 . If neither number contains zero, what are the numbers?????

solution:

prime factorization

10,000

^

10*1000

^ ^

2*5 100*10

^ ^

10*10 2*5

^ ^

2*5 2*5

prime factors:2*2*2*2*5*5*5*5 = 10,000

first get the value of 2^4

2*2*2*2= 16

then get the value of 5^4

5*5*5*5= 625

Now lets check...

16 * 625 = 10,000 ok

16 and 625 doesnt have any 0 ok

Another question:

If f(x)=x+1 and g(x)=(3x+1)^-2, find the domain of g o f?

1/(3x+1)^2 or 1/(3x+1)(3x+1)

since x ≠ -1/3 will only be repeated, we'll only use x ≠ -1/3

X+1≠-1/3 x≠-1 1/3 or x≠-4/3

{x|x≠-4/3}

How do you do problems such as -1450-8x equals -1994?

I don't know you meant the ugly and large numbers, or linear single variable equations. For the former, you just need patience, practice and either a mad brain I don't have or a calculator which I do have.

For the latter, there is a way to do it. For any Linear equation, we can always simplify it to this form:

a + bx = 0 where b is NOT 0. (if it is, then a must be 0, or you've goofed somewhere and yes, it's a 0 on the right hand side RHS)

Then, bx = -a, x = -a/b

Of course that's the easy part, the hard part is to put it into a + bx = 0 form

This, I can't really give you a generic case, only that use addition and subtraction to move everything to one side. Multiplication if necessary. If you are using division somewhere, you might not be working with a linear equation.

Is 2x 3y12 a linear equation?

Unfortunately, limitations of the browser used by Answers.com means that we cannot see most symbols. It is therefore impossible to give a proper answer to your question. Please resubmit your question spelling out the symbols as "plus", "minus", "equals" etc. Also use ^ to indicate powers (eg x-squared = x^2).

How do you find slant vertical and horizantal asymtotes?

Slant asymptotes are obscure and those will not be used in any decent class, but they are found by long dividing and using only the polynomial part, not the remainder over the divisor, and that is the equation for the slant asymptote. For example, ( -3x^2 + 2 ) / ( x - 1 ) when long divided out becomes -3x - 3 - ( 1 / x - 1 ). The last term drops and it becomes -3x - 3. Horizontal asymptotes are found by taking the limit of the function as x tends towards infinity and negative infinity. Vertical ones are found by finding points where the graph is undefined (where the denominator is 0).

What are some examples of linear equation in our daily lives?

such as travelling through an auto rishaw or by any taxi

more examples can be for increase in prises in any field

What are equations when used in co-ordinate grids?

They are simply algebaric equations. They may be linear or non-linear, continuous or not, in two or more variables.

Any equation can be plotted on a coordinate grid and any point, curve, shape on a coordinate grid can be represented by an equation. However, finding the appropriate equation will not always be easy.

How is graphing a linear inequality the same as graphing a linear equality?

Because the question is tautological. You are asking how something is the same as that very samne thing!

Is free variable unique or can we have more than one free variables in linear algebra please elaborate?

You can have any number of free variables. If you have m variables and n linear equations then, if m > n, you will have at least (m - n) free variables.

Is 2x equals y linear or non linear?

Linear because neither of the variables are raised to a power.

Where did the word linear equation came from?

It is an equation which, if plotted will be represented by a straight line (hence linear).

What are all the negative non integers that have a product of 20?

There are infinite number of negative non integers that have a product of 20. Any two negative fractions can make a product of 20. e.g.

-3/20 * -800/6 = 20

-3/8 * -320/6 = 20

-9/7 * -140/9 = 20

The list is endless. Only make sure you select both negative fractions to get a positive 20 and when selecting the fractions the numerator of one number is divisible by the other number's denominator such that the factors cancel to give 20.
