I just wanted to get it confirmed, is 2b i)

(a, b, c) = (20/7, 65/7, 40)?

#

Correct answer/s?

my previous answer was 2,5 7,5 and 30. But now I got tose answers above. Im confused

#

Can you show the system you've obtained?

#

Ah, ok.

#

Also, what's Symbolab?

willow osprey
#

its a math tool

delicate cedar
#

Oh, ok.

#

c was quite easy with gauss/cramers, shame it isntallowed. If you want to, how do I do this with elimination method?

delicate cedar
#

Wait, why is Gauss not allowed?

willow osprey
#

I mulriplied the denominator to get rid of it on the left

delicate cedar
#

That's kinda dumb.

#

Hm, let's see.
4x^3 + x^2 + 16x + 15 = (ax + b)(x^2 + 2x + 5) + (cx + d)(x^2 + 1)
What did you get when you simplified the right part?

#

crowd implying the other students

delicate cedar
#

Huh...

#

Well, alright...

#

What system did you get?

willow osprey
#

lol dont ask me, I can use elimination or subtraction

delicate cedar
#

I mean, solving systems with 4 or more equations without Gauss is reeeeeally painful.

willow osprey
#

I showed him matrices and he said no re-do it

delicate cedar
#

Ugh... That sucks. Oh well...
What is the system that you got?

5b+d = 15
5a+2b+c = 16
2a + b + d = 1
a + c = 4

delicate cedar
#

Yeah, seems good. Well, now let's try solving it...
First, express c from the fourth equation and substitute it into the other three (well, really, only into the second).

willow osprey
#

Okay I got (1, 4, 3, -5)

#

which I got with cramers lol but anyway
