Mr. Steve, thank you very much to answer my question on Sunday, 23 August at 1:44 pm. But please, show me how to get :
Number 1 :
1. D = -1
Dx = -2
Dy = -3
Number 2 :
2. D = -5
Dx = -14
Dy = -3
Because the steps to know that is important for me. Please...
Sure! I can help you understand how to solve the system of equations using the method of determinants, also known as Cramer's Rule.
To solve a system of two linear equations with two variables (x and y), we can use determinants and Cramer's Rule. The determinants we need to find are D, Dx, and Dy.
Let's take a look at the steps to find these values:
Number 1:
1. Given the system of equations:
D = -1
Dx = -2
Dy = -3
2. First, we need to find the determinant D. The formula for D is:
D = ac - bd
Looking at the given values, we have:
D = (-1)(0) - (0)(-1)
D = 0 - 0
D = 0
3. Next, we need to find the determinant Dx, which represents the coefficients of x replaced by the constant terms. The formula for Dx is:
Dx = ec - fb
Plugging in the values from the given system of equations, we have:
Dx = (-1)(-2) - (0)(-3)
Dx = 2
4. Lastly, we need to find the determinant Dy, which represents the coefficients of y replaced by the constant terms. The formula for Dy is:
Dy = af - dc
Plugging in the values from the given system of equations, we have:
Dy = (0)(-3) - (-1)(-2)
Dy = 2
So, the solutions for the given system of equations are:
x = Dx / D = 2 / 0 (which is undefined or infinite)
y = Dy / D = 2 / 0 (which is undefined or infinite)
Number 2:
1. Given the system of equations:
D = -5
Dx = -14
Dy = -3
2. The process is the same as in Number 1. Using the formulas stated above, calculate the determinants:
D = ae - bd = (-5)(0) - (-14)(-1) = 0 - 14 = -14
Dx = ce - fb = (-5)(-3) - (-14)(-1) = 15 - 14 = 1
Dy = af - cd = (-5)(-1) - (0)(-3) = 5 - 0 = 5
3. The solutions for the given system of equations are:
x = Dx / D = 1 / -14
y = Dy / D = 5 / -14
Note: In both cases, since the determinant D is zero, the system of equations does not have a unique solution. This means that the lines represented by the equations are either parallel or coincident.
I hope this explanation helps you understand the steps involved in solving these systems of equations using determinants and Cramer's Rule. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask!
