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.

If i understand correctly, 2 numbers add to 115 and these 2 numbers have a difference of 45. If so 80 and 35

What are 2 examples of simultaneous equations are used in business and what are some other ways you can satisfied these equations?

Example:

When deciding about the purchase of a new warehouse for the storage of merchandise and tools, a company faces the option to incur in payment of two types of mortgages, one with fixed-rate and other with variable-rate. The decision will depend on the study of the equations (graphs) that represent each of them and the time they plan to hold the investment.

Variable mortgage:

Y=50/3 X + 600

Fixed mortgage:

Y=700

Y=50/3 X + 600

Y=700

SOLUTION:

700= 50/3 X + 600 (substitution)

50/3 X = 100

X= 100 x 3 / 50

X=6

SOLUTION: (6,700)

When graphing both equations we find out that the intersection (solution of the system) occurs at (6,700), what represents that?

1) the variable graph is under the fixed one from the year 0 to year 6.

2) the fixed graph is under the variable one after the year 6.

3) both graphs intersect each other at the solution of the system, the pair (6,700).

For the business analysis, it is recommendable to take a variable mortgage if the investment is to be hold for less than 6 years, because it will represent less expenses for the mortgage.

On the other side, if the investment is to be hold for more than 6 years, for example 20 years or more, the fixed mortgage is more suitable for the organization since it will expend less money than taking the variable one.

If it is between 6 years and other specific time, the amount finally paid with the variable mortgage and the fixed one can be compared studying the areas involved between the graphs with the specific time selected.

What is the range of the equation y equals x - 4 times 2 plus 12?

y = x - 4 × 2 + 12

y = x - 8 + 12

y = x - 20

That is the simplest form of the equation, as you can only solve completely by having only 1 variable to solve.

What is bisymmetry?

Bisymmetry is the state or quality of being bisymmetric - symmetric around both of the main diagonals of a square matrix.

How do you write x6 and x18 as a compound inequalities?

represent x > 6 and x <=18

enter the compound inequality without using and

How can you tell if an equation represents a linear relationship?

Neither the 'x' nor the 'y' component should have any exponents (squared, cubed, square root, etc.) and therefore it should be a one-to-one ratio (each 'x' has one 'y' value and vice versa).

What is an angle in shapes?

It is a point where two sides of the shape meet.

How do you solve 5 equals -x2 plus 110x-1000?

5 = -2x + 110x - 1,000

5 = 108x - 1,000

1,005 = 108x

335/36 = x

How is a radical equation similar to a linear equation?

Technically,no. A radical equation has a radical (Square root) in it, and has two solutions because the square root can be positive or negative.

What does a air of linear equations having a unique solution represent graphically?

Presumably the question concerned a PAIR of linear equations!

The answer is two straight lines intersecting at the point whose coordinates are the unique solution.

Why you are using cosine function in dot product of two vectors?

It comes from the Law of Cosines.

* * * * *

For any two vectors A and B, the projection of A onto B, that is, the component of A along B, is ab.cos(x) where x is the angle between the two vectors. By symmetry, this is also the projectoin of B onto A.

What is the application of gaussian elimination?

It solves a system of equations.

Think of the 2X2 case of having X+Y=1 and 3X+2Y=6.

What is the answer 3x divided 5-x divided 3 equals 4?

3x/(5-x)/3=4

3x/(5-x)=4X3

3x=12(5-x)

3x=60-12x

3x+12x=60

x=4

How do you solve a multivariable linear system?

Example system: 4x + 2y = 20 and 5y + 4 = 8x

First, pick one equation and solve for one variable as far as possible (we will solve for the y variable).

4x + 2y = 20 (divide everything by 2)

2x + y = 10 (subtract 2x from each side)

y = 10 - 2x (stop when you have a variable all on its own)

Then, plug this new equation into the other one for the variable you solved for (we solved for the y variable earlier, so now we will solve for the x variable).

5y + 4 = 8x

5 (10 - 2x) + 4 = 8x (substitution)

50 - 10x + 4 = 8x (distribute/simplify)

54 - 10x = 8x (simplify)

54 = 18x (add 10x to both sides)

x = 3 (divide both sides by 18, stop here)

Then, plug x = 3 back into either equation to solve for the value of y (before we solved for y, but it stayed in the form of an equation).

4x + 2y = 20

4(3) + 2y = 20 (substitute)

12 + 2y = 20 (simplify)

6 + y = 10 (divide both sides by 2)

y = 4 (subtract 6 from both sides, stop here)

Now, you know that x = 3 and y = 4. This means that this is the intersection point of these two equations if you were to graph them (3, 4). If solve the system using the method above but end up with an answer that doesn't make sense (such as 3=7), the lines do not intersect and there is therefore no answer.
