OKay so already solved for a with @vocaloid now for part b and c

Vocaloid:

first we take the coefficients and put them into a matrix

Vocaloid:

|dw:1510525940717:dw|

Vocaloid:

|dw:1510525947639:dw|

Vocaloid:

make sure to keep all signs (+ or -)

Vocaloid:

\[\left[\begin{matrix}3 & 2 \\ 2 & -4\end{matrix}\right]\]

Vocaloid:

\[\left(\begin{matrix}x \\ y\end{matrix}\right)\]

zarkam21:

okay so would that be 14,4

Vocaloid:

good, so \[\left(\begin{matrix}14 \\ ?\end{matrix}\right)\]

zarkam21:

4

Vocaloid:

should be 14,4

Vocaloid:

good, so now we write these in order

Vocaloid:

|dw:1510526371314:dw|

zarkam21:

Vocaloid:

now, in order to isolate the x,y matrix we multiply both sides by the inverse of the coefficient matrix

Vocaloid:

need to have the x, y, matrix too

Vocaloid:

^it should look like what I drew up there

zarkam21:

Vocaloid:

good, now we find the inverse of the coefficient matrix (the 3,2,2,-4)

zarkam21:

okay

Vocaloid:

|dw:1510526537348:dw|

zarkam21:

so we subtract 1 from each value

Vocaloid:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Vocaloid \[\left[\begin{matrix}3 & 2 \\ 2 & -4\end{matrix}\right]\] \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) apply this logic to this matrix to find the determinant

zarkam21:

2,1,1,-5

Vocaloid:

a = 3, b = 2, c = 2, d = -4

Vocaloid:

the -1 in the top right corner does not mean -1, this is the notation that means inverse

zarkam21:

-16

Vocaloid:

good, the determinant is 16, now we find this part:

Vocaloid:

|dw:1510526677187:dw|

Vocaloid:

switch the a and d values then multiply the c and b values by -1 to find this new matrix

zarkam21:

a = -4, b = 2, c = 2, d = 3

zarkam21:

like that right?

zarkam21:

I switched the values and now I apply the formula

zarkam21:

?

Vocaloid:

almost, we also need to multiply b and c by -1

zarkam21:

-6

Vocaloid:

\[\left[\begin{matrix}-4 & -2 \\ -2 & 3\end{matrix}\right]\]

zarkam21:

6

Vocaloid:

our work so far should be a 2x2 matrix

Vocaloid:

so now we apply the inverse formula by taking this new matrix and multiplying it by 1/the determinant which is 1/(-16)

Vocaloid:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Vocaloid \[\frac{ 1 }{ -16 }\[\left[\begin{matrix}-4 & -2 \\ -2 & 3\end{matrix}\right]\]\] \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\)

Vocaloid:

then we left-multiply this matrix * each side of the original equation

Vocaloid:

|dw:1510527100023:dw|

Vocaloid:

the left side cancels out (thankfully)

Vocaloid:

|dw:1510527170983:dw|

Vocaloid:

|dw:1510527183968:dw|

Vocaloid:

when you multiply the black parts out you should get x = 4 and y = 1 which agrees with the solution we obtained by solving the system

Vocaloid:

[make sure you are applying the matrix multiplication method not just multiplying across the rows]

zarkam21:

Yes I applied that and it checked to be the correct answer

Vocaloid:

awesome, and then for part c you would just graph them and confirm that they intersect at (4,1)

zarkam21:

SO just graph the two systems of equations given

Vocaloid:

yes

zarkam21:

H

Vocaloid:

good, now be sure to mark the intersection as (4,1)

Vocaloid:

just make a point at (4,1) and write (4,1) besides it

zarkam21:

Vocaloid:

awesome, that's it for c
