Kay, so apparently Casey and I are both having trouble with creating a matrix from a system. I know what a matrix is, but i can never seem to figure them out.
kay, so since it's figured out, i'll use <3Medic+Droid<3's equation.
c+b=600
.35c+.75b+360
c=225
b=375
In the form of
[1 0 A]
[0 1 B]
how do you plug in the system? I've tried reading about it on other sites, but i have to have someone actually "tell" me.....for some reason this site works better because the responses are easier to understand then some college professer trying to make me feel stupid. Anyway, help is very appreciated.
I'll be happy to help you understand how to create a matrix from a system of equations. To do this, we can follow a step-by-step process.
Step 1: Write down the coefficients of the variables and the constants in the system of equations.
From the given equations:
c + b = 600
0.35c + 0.75b = 360
We can see that the coefficients are:
For the first equation: 1 (coefficient of c), 1 (coefficient of b), and 600 (constant).
For the second equation: 0.35 (coefficient of c), 0.75 (coefficient of b), and 360 (constant).
Step 2: Set up the matrix.
The matrix will have three columns: one for the coefficients of c, one for the coefficients of b, and one for the constants. The number of rows will depend on the number of equations (in this case, we have two equations).
Our matrix will look like:
[c coefficient | b coefficient | constant]
[c coefficient | b coefficient | constant]
Step 3: Plug in the values into the matrix.
Using the coefficients and constants from the equations, we can fill in the matrix:
[1 | 1 | 600]
[0.35 | 0.75 | 360]
This is the final matrix form of the system of equations.
I hope this helps! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
