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.

How do you know that a table value is a linear function?

There are several ways to do that. For example, you can actually graph the function. Or, you can check the ratio of the differences between the points. If this ratio (change in y, divided by change in x) is constant, the function is linear.

What is the slope for y equals negative two over three x plus two?

If: y = -2/3x+2 then the slope is -2/3 and the y intercept is 2

How do you know if an equation is linear?

You know if an equation is linear if it is a straight line. You can also know if the equation is y = mx + b where there are no absolute values nor exponents.

Why is graphing an inequality valuable?

Because if there are two inequality eqations, you can find out which overlap if graphed.

How do I write a system of linear inequalities?

Instead of using y = mx + b you use y (inequality sign) mx + b. By inequality sign, I mean symbols like <,>

List three methods used to solve systems of equations?

1. Solve one equation for one of the variable. Replace the variable for the equivalent expression, in the remaining equations.2. Add one equation (possibly multiplied by some factor) to another equation, in such a way that one of the variables get eliminated.

For the specific case of linear equations, there are several additional methods, for example using determinants, or matrices.

What is a solution of a linear equation in two variables?

The solution of a linear equation in two variable comprises the coordinates of all points on the straight line represented by the equation.

What is cramer rule?

In linear algebra, Cramer's rule is an explicit formula for the solution of a system of linear equations with as many equations as unknowns, valid whenever the system has a unique solution.

What is the chromatic polynomial of Peterson graph?

The chromatic polynomial for the Petersen (not Peterson) graph is


pi(z) = (z - 2)* (z - 1)*z*(z^7 - 12*z^6 + 67*z^5 - 230*z^4 + 529*z^3 - 814*z^2 + 775*z - 352).

How can you solve an equation that has a variables on both sides How do you move a variable term from one side of the equation to the other?

That depends how the variable is combined with the other parts of the expression on each side. Here are some examples:Example 1: 2x + 5 = x - 3

Here, if you subtract "x" from both sides, you will get rid of the "x" on the right.

Example 2: x squared = 3x

Here, if you divide by "x", you get rid of the "x" on the right. However, one solution, namely x = 0, gets lost in the new equation if you do that. This is related to the fact that you should not divide by zero - and if x = 0, you are doing exactly that.

What is the classification of a system of equations?

The answer will depend on what kinds of equations: there are linear equations, polynomials of various orders, algebraic equations, trigonometric equations, exponential ones and logarithmic ones. There are single equations, systems of linear equations, systems of linear and non-linear equations. There are also differential equations which are classified by order and by degree. There are also partial differential equations.

How do tables show the solution to a system of equations?

Any answers that are the same in the both tables are answers that for both equations. y=x is (1,1), 2,2), (3,3) ... y=x^2 is (1,1),(4,2)... (1,1) is in both lists.

If f of x equals 3x - 10 then what is f of 2a?

if f(x) = 3x - 10, then whatever is put (substituted) for x in the "f(x)" bit is substituted for x in the "3x - 10" bit.

Thus f(2a) = 3(2a) - 10 = 6a - 10.

How do you solve x squared -4x equals 41?

x² - 4x = 41 → x² -4x - 41 = 0

Using the quadratic formula:

x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac))/(2a)

→ x = (4 ± √(4² - 4×1×-41)/(2×1)

→ x = (4 ± √(4(4+41)))/2

→ x = (4 ± 2√45)/2

→ x = 2 ± √45

→ x = 2 + √45 (≈ 8.708) or x = 2 - √45 (≈ -4.708)

How do you solve x2 - 4x 41?

Equations have solutions. I'll assume that's x^2 - 4x + 41 = 0 since this website can't reproduce plus or equals signs in questions. That doesn't factor neatly. Using the quadratic formula, we find two imaginary solutions: 2 plus or minus i times the square root of 37

x = 8.082762530298219i

x = -4.082762530298219i

where i is the imaginary square root of -1

no its is x^2-4x=41

What common characteristics do linear and nonlinear equations have?

Generally, both types of equation contain an equals sign and some combination of numbers and/or variables. That is the only thing I can think of that is common between all types of nonlinear and linear equations.
