Example Question #11 : Use Matrices To Represent And Manipulate Data: Ccss.Math.Content.Hsn Vm.C.6

Which of the following matrices represents the equations, \(\displaystyle 1:10x-14y=-17\), and \(\displaystyle 2:-9x+18y=-12\)?

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle \begin{bmatrix} -10 & -14 &-17 \\ -9& 18& -12 \end{bmatrix}\)

\(\displaystyle \begin{bmatrix} -10 & -14 &-17 \\ -9& -18& -12 \end{bmatrix}\)

\(\displaystyle \begin{bmatrix} 10 & -14 &-17 \\ -9& 18& -12 \end{bmatrix}\)

\(\displaystyle \begin{bmatrix} 10 & 14 &17 \\ 9& 18& -12 \end{bmatrix}\)

\(\displaystyle \begin{bmatrix} 10 & 14 &-17 \\ 9& 18& -12 \end{bmatrix}\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle \begin{bmatrix} 10 & -14 &-17 \\ -9& 18& -12 \end{bmatrix}\)

Explanation:

To do this problem, all we need to do is put the coefficients for each variable into a matrix. The first column will be x values, 2nd column will be y values, and 3rd column will be what the equations are equal to.

It will look like this

\(\displaystyle \begin{bmatrix} x_1 & y_1 &c_1 \\ x_2& y_2& c_2 \end{bmatrix}\)

 where \(\displaystyle x_1,y_1\),\(\displaystyle x_2,y_2\) are coefficients of \(\displaystyle x\) and \(\displaystyle y\) in the first and second equation respectively. \(\displaystyle c_1, c_2\) refer to what the equations are equal to. So after placing the coefficients and what the equations are equal to in a matrix, it will look like the following.

\(\displaystyle \begin{bmatrix} 10 & -14 &-17 \\ -9& 18& -12 \end{bmatrix}\)

Example Question #12 : Use Matrices To Represent And Manipulate Data: Ccss.Math.Content.Hsn Vm.C.6

Which of the following matrices represents the equations, \(\displaystyle 1:-x-14y=-1\), and \(\displaystyle 2:-5x+8y=9\)?

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle \begin{bmatrix} 0 & -14 &-1 \\ -5& 8& 9 \end{bmatrix}\)

\(\displaystyle \begin{bmatrix}0 & -1 &-1 \\ -5& 8& 9 \end{bmatrix}\)

\(\displaystyle \begin{bmatrix} -1 & -14 &-11 \\ -5& 8& 9 \end{bmatrix}\)

\(\displaystyle \begin{bmatrix} -1 & -14 &-1 \\ -5& 8& 9 \end{bmatrix}\)

\(\displaystyle \begin{bmatrix} -1 & -14 &1 \\ -5& 8& 9 \end{bmatrix}\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle \begin{bmatrix} -1 & -14 &-1 \\ -5& 8& 9 \end{bmatrix}\)
