Find the variables [-12 -w2] [2k - 81] [2f 3] = [-14 3]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the ones in \(\color{red}{red}\) \[[-12 -\color{red}w^2] [2\color{red}k - 81] \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you help walk me through this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i can't really understand what it says, or what it is asking for

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what are the brackets for?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its a matrix. [-12 -w2] [2k - 81] [2f 3] [-14 3] Theyre equal to eachother

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ooooh i see!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

set each in one matrix equal to the corresponding entry in the other matrix for example \[-12=2k\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that makes \(k=-6\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

clear?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok you have to do it four times, (3 since i did the first one) that is all

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k= -6 w=40.5 and f=-7?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think \(w\) is wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[-w^2=-81\iff w=9, w=-9\]
