Answer to Problem 1RE
The solution set of linear equations {2x−y=55x+2y=8 is {(2,−1)}_.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The system of linear equations is {2x−y=55x+2y=8.
Procedure used:
“Solving system of linear equations by elimination:
(1) If the equations are not in the standard form, then they are converted accordingly into a standard form.
(2) The variable to be eliminated is recognized from the given equations in the system.
(3) After obtaining the LCM (lowest common multiple) of coefficients of the variable to be eliminated, the equations are multiplied with appropriate multipliers so that the coefficients in each equation become additive inverses and adding the new equations will result in a fresh equation with the decided variable to been eliminated.
(4) The equation in step (3) is solved obtaining value of remaining variable.
(5) The value of variable in step (4) is substituted to the equation in any of the given system equations.
(6) Solving the equation obtained in step (5) gives the value of variable eliminated in step (3).
(7) The correctness of solution is asserted by substituting back the values in given equations of the system.
Calculation:
The given equations are, as follows:
2x−y=5 ......(1)5x+2y=8 ......(2)
Step 1:
Since the given equations are already in standard form, nothing has to be done.
(2)x−(1)y=5(5)x+(2)y=8
Step 2:
The coefficient of y in equation (1) is −1 and in equation (2) is 2. So, y is a better choice of variable to be eliminated.
Step 3:
Multiply equation (1) with number 2 to eliminate the variable y, as follows:
2(2x−y)=2⋅54x−2y=10
Now, add resultant equation of equation (1) and equation (2) of given system of linear equations:
4x−2y=10 5x+2y=8_ 9x=18
The above addition gives the equation 9x=18.
Step 4:
Solve the equation obtained in step 3 to obtain the value of x.
x=189=2
Thus, the value of x is 2.
Step-5:
Now, substitute 2 for x in equation (1) to obtain the corresponding value of y.
2(2)−y=54−y=5y=4−5y=−1
Step-6:
The equation obtained in Step (5) is solved:
y=−1
Thus, the value of y is −1.
Step-7:
In order to check whether the solution is correct or not, substitute x=2 and y=−1 in given system of equation.
Substitute 2 for x, −1 for y in the equation (1) to check whether the solution (2,−1) satisfies the equation (1) or not.
2(2)−(−1)?=5 4+1?=5 5=5 (True)
Therefore, the point (2,−1) satisfies equation (1).
Substitute 2 for x, −1 for y in the equation (2) to check whether the solution (2,−1) satisfies the equation (2) or not.
5(2)+2(−1)?=8 10−2?=8 8=8 (True)
Therefore, the point (2,−1) satisfies equation (2).
Hence, it is asserted that the value of x is 2 and the value of y is −1.
Thus, the solution set for the system of linear equations {2x−y=55x+2y=8 is {(2 , −1)}_.

How would they plan their weekend without up-to-date air temperature readings? Silent devastation - and maybe a hint of panic, also - hung in the room. Apprentice Taylor, who - as always - was late to the meeting, sensed that this was his chance to shine! Could they fake the data? At least for some hours (until the measurements would work again)? He used to spend a lot of time online and thus knew the value of fake data, especially when it spread fast! He reminded the crying professors of a prehistoric project with the title "Love your derivatives as you love yourself!" - back then, they had installed top-modern technology that not only measured the air temperature itself, but also its 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and…arrow_forwardConsider a forest where the population of a particular plant species grows exponentially. In a real-world scenario, we often deal with systems where the analytical function describing the phenomenon is not available. In such cases, numerical methods come in handy. For the sake of this task, however, you are provided with an analytical function so that you can compare the results of the numerical methods to some ground truth. The population P(t) of the plants at time t (in years) is given by the equation: P(t) = 200 0.03 t You are tasked with estimating the rate of change of the plant population at t = 5 years using numerical differentiation methods. First, compute the value of P'(t) at t = 5 analytically. Then, estimate P'(t) at t = 5 years using the following numerical differentiation methods: ⚫ forward difference method (2nd-order accurate) 3 ⚫ backward difference method (2nd-order accurate) ⚫ central difference method (2nd-order accurate) Use h = 0.5 as the step size and round all…arrow_forward
