X+ 4y − z = −14 5x + 6y + 3z = 4 −2x + 7y + 2z = −17

A = -120

AX = -240

X = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ x + 4y - z = -14

∵ 5x + 6y + 3z = 4

∵ -2x + 7y + 2z = -17

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&4&-1\\5&6&3\\-2&7&2\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-14\\4\\-17\end{array}\right]

∴ A = 1(6×2 - 3×7) + (-4)(2×5 - 3×-2) + (-1)(5×7 - 6×-2)

∴ A = 1(12 - 21) + (-4)(10 - -6) + (-1)(35 - -12)

∴ A = -9 + (-4)(16) + (-1)(47) = -9 - 64 - 47 = -120

To find X replace the column of X by the column of the answer

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-14&4&-1\\4&6&3\\-17&7&2\end{array}\right]

∴ AX = -14(6×2 - 3×7) + (-4)(4×2 - 3×-17) + (-1)(4×7 - 6×-17)

∴ AX = -14(12 - 21) + (-4)(8 - -51) + (-1)(28 - -102)

∴ AX = 126 + (-4)(59) + (-1)(130) = 126 - 236 - 130 = -240

∴ X = AX/A = -240/-120 = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

answer: evaluate the objective function at each vertex to determine which - and -values, if any, maximize or minimize the function. example: find the minimum value and maximum value of the objective function f ( x , y ) = 4 x + 5 y , subject to the following constraints

the red lines denote the population of the bacteria after 35 hours. that would be 2,409.24. the y-intercept is the blue line which is 800 because that is the starting point. the equation used to make the graph is 800(1.032)^h, where h is the number of hours.
