Help me find the y determinant!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Choose the value of the y determinant (Dy) in the following system. 2x - y = 7 3x + 4y = 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know how to find the determinate period?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Swap out the y coefficients with the answer column

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So just find the determinate of this matrix:\[ \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 7 \\ 3 & 5 \end{bmatrix} \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\left[ \begin{matrix} 2&-1&| &\color{red}{ 7}\\ 3& 4& | & \color{red}{5} \end{matrix} \right]\implies D_y = \left[ \begin{matrix} 2&\color{red}{7}\\ 3& \color{red}{5} \end{matrix} \right] \)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You must know how to find a determinant by now...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok..so what is the final answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I forgot how to sorry

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

agree on that with @wio

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well, if you forgot, it's about time to open up the book and recheck the material

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

I'm pretty sure it's there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do I find the answer?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

by rereading the chapter on finding the determinants

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-11

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

got it..now do I find the x determinant of this one? 4x - y = 5 3x + 2y = 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help me set it up?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\( \left[ \begin{matrix} 4&-1&| &\color{red}{ 5}\\ 3& 2& | & \color{red}{7} \end{matrix} \right]\implies D_x = \left[ \begin{matrix} \color{red}{\square?}&-1\\ \color{red}{\square?}& 2 \end{matrix} \right] \)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5 and 7?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help me with one more?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

None of the choices seem right to me

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

|dw:1376169630993:dw| which means that 80 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 5 = \(\bf 2^4 \times 5\) \(\bf \Large 2\sqrt[4]{80} \implies 2\sqrt[4]{2^4\times5}\)
