Good, but you should have self-critiqued that last problem. See my note, in boldface like this one.

If anything is not clear let me know, and include as many specifics as possible.

19:15:53 `q001. Note that this assignment has 8 questions

Begin to solve the following system of simultaneous linear equations by first eliminating the variable which is easiest to eliminate. Eliminate the variable from the first and second equations, then from the first and third equations to obtain two equations in the remaining two variables:

2a + 3b + c = 128 60a + 5b + c = 90 200a + 10 b + c = 0. NOTE SOLN IS -1, 10, 100.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE --> 2a + 3b + c = 128 60a + 5b + c = 90

2a + 3b = 128 -60a - 5b = -90

final equation from first to equation with variable elimated : -58a - 2b = 38

2a + 3b + c = 128 200a + 10b + c = 0

2a + 3b = 128 -200a - 10b = 0

the other final equation with variable removed is: -198a - 7b =128

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

19:16:23 The variable c is most easily eliminated. We accomplish this if we subtract the first equation from the second, and the first equation from the third, replacing the second and third equations with respective results.

Subtracting the first equation from the second, are left-hand side will be the difference of the left-hand sides, which is (60a + 5b + c )- (2a + 3b + c ) = 58 a + 2 b. The right-hand side will be the difference 90 - 128 = -38, so the second equation will become

'new' 2d equation: 58 a + 2 b = -38.

The 'new' third equation by a similar calculation will be

'new' third equation: 198 a + 7 b = -128.

You might have obtain this system, or one equivalent to it, using a slightly different sequence of calculations.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE --> Enter, as appropriate, an answer to the question, a critique of your answer in response to a given answer, your insights regarding the situation at this point, notes to yourself, or just an OK. ok

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

19:22:20 `q002. Solve the two equations

58 a + 2 b = -38 198 a + 7 b = -128

, which can be obtained from the system in the preceding problem, by eliminating the easiest variable.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE --> 58 a + 2b = -38 198a + 7b = -128

-7*58a + (-7)*2b = -7*-38 2*198a + 2*7b = 2* -128

-406a - 14b = 266 396a + 14b = -256

10a = 10

a = 1

58(1) + 2b = -38 2b = -38 -58 2b = -20

b = -10

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

19:22:31 Neither variable is as easy to eliminate as in the last problem, but the coefficients of b a significantly smaller than those of a. So we will eliminate b.

To eliminate b we will multiply the first equation by -7 and the second by 2, which will make the coefficients of b equal and opposite. The first step is to indicate the program multiplications:

-7 * ( 58 a + 2 b) = -7 * -38 2 * ( 198 a + 7 b ) = 2 * (-128).

Doing the arithmetic we obtain

-406 a - 14 b = 266 396 a + 14 b = -256.

Adding the two equations we obtain

-10 a = 10,

so we have a = -1.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE --> ok

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

19:25:40 `q003. Having obtained a = -1, use either of the equations

58 a + 2 b = -38 198 a + 7 b = -128

to determine the value of b. Check that a = -1 and the value obtained for b are validated by the other equation.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE --> 58(-1) + 2b = -38 -58 + 2b = -38 2b = -38 + 58 2b = 20

b = 10

58*-1 + 2*10 = -38

equation is correct

198(-1) + 7b = -128 -198 + 7b = -128 7b = -128 + 198 7b = 70

b = 10

198*-1 + 7*10 = -128

equation is correct

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

19:25:47 You might have completed this step in your solution to the preceding problem.

Substituting a = -1 into the first equation we have

58 * -1 + 2 b = -38, so

2 b = 20 and

b = 10.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE --> ok

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

19:27:01 `q004. Having obtained a = -1 and b = 10, determine the value of c by substituting these values for a and b into any of the 3 equations in the original system

2a + 3b + c = 128 60a + 5b + c = 90 200a + 10 b + c = 0.

Verify your result by substituting a = -1, b = 10 and the value you obtained for c into another of the original equations.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE --> 200*-1 + 10*10 + c =0

-200 + 100 + c = 0

-100 + c = 0

c = 100

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

19:27:11 Using first equation 2a + 3b + c = 128 we obtain 2 * -1 + 3 * 10 + c = 128, which was some simple arithmetic gives us c = 100.

Substituting these values into the second equation we obtain

60 * -1 + 5 * 10 + 100 = 90, or

-60 + 50 + 100 = 90, or

90 = 90.

We could also substitute the values into the third equation, and will begin obtain an identity. This would completely validate our solution.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE --> ok

......!!!!!!!!...................................

19:28:19 `q005. If a graph of y vs. x contains the points (1, -2), (3, 5) and (7, 8), as was the case for the graph you sketched in the preceding assignment, then what equation do we get if we substitute the x and y values corresponding to the point (1, -2) into the form y = a x^2 + b x + c?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE --> -2 = a(1^2) + b(1) +c

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

19:28:25 We substitute y = -2 and x = 1 to obtain the equation

-2 = a * 1^2 + b * 1 + c, or

a + b + c = -2.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE --> ok

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

19:31:09 `q006. If a graph of y vs. x contains the points (1, -2), (3, 5) and (7, 8), as was the case in the preceding question, then what equations do we get if we substitute the x and y values corresponding to the point (3, 5), then (7, 8) into the form y = a x^2 + b x + c?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE --> 5= a3^2 + b*3 + c or 9a + 3b + c = 5

and

8 = a7^2 + b*7 + c

49a + 7b + c = 8

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

19:31:18 Using the second point we substitute y = 5 and x = 3 to obtain the equation

5 = a * 3^2 + b * 3 + c, or

9 a + 3 b + c = 5.

Using the third point we substitute y = 8 and x = 7 to obtain the equation

8 = a * 7^2 + b * 7 + c, or

49 a + 7 b + c = 7.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE --> ok

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

19:35:57 `q007. If a graph of y vs. x contains the points (1, -2), (3, 5) and (7, 8), as was the case in the preceding question, then what system of equations do we get if we substitute the x and y values corresponding to the point (1, -2), (3, 5), and (7, 8), in turn, into the form y = a x^2 + b x + c? What is the solution of this system?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE --> -2 = a 1^2 + b*1 + c aka 1a + 1b + c = -2

5 = a 3^2 + b*3 + c aka 9a + 3b + c = 5

8= a 7^2 + b*7 + c aka 49a + 7b + c = 8

the solution is linear

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

19:36:33 The system consists of the three equations obtained in the last problem:

a + b + c = -2

9 a + 3 b + c = 5

49 a + 7 b + c = 8.

This system is solved in the same manner as in the preceding exercise. However the solutions don't come out to be whole numbers. The solution of this system, in decimal form, is approximately

a = - 0.45833,

b = 5.33333 and c = - 6.875.

If you obtained a different system, you should show the system of two equations you obtained when you eliminated c, then indicate what multiple of each equation you put together to eliminate either a or b.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE --> ok I didnt finish out the equations I wasnt sure if it was needed

to clarify the wording, the question asked for the solution to the system. The solution is the values of the three variables that make the system true.

It's clear from the first problem that you understand how to do this.

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

19:37:29 `q008. Substitute the values you obtained in the preceding problem for a, b and c into the form y = a x^2 + b x + c. What function do you get? What do you get when you substitute x = 1, 3, 5 and 7 into this function?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE --> you get a linear function you get points on the graph for the function

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

19:37:57 Substituting the values of a, b and c into the given form we obtain the equation

y = - 0.45833 x^2 + 5.33333 x - 6.875.

When we substitute 1 into the equation we obtain y = -.45833 * 1^2 + 5.33333 * 1 - 6.875 = -2.

When we substitute 3 into the equation we obtain y = -.45833 * 3^2 + 5.33333 * 3 - 6.875 = 5.

When we substitute 5 into the equation we obtain y = -.45833 * 5^2 + 5.33333 * 5 - 6.875 = 8.33333.

When we substitute 7 into the equation we obtain y = -.45833 * 7^2 + 5.33333 * 7 - 6.875 = 8.

Thus the y values we obtain for our x values gives us the points (1, -2), (3, 5) and (7, 8) we used to obtain the formula, plus the point (5, 8.33333).

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE --> ok

You should therefore always include a detailed self-critique when your solution doesn't completely agree with the given solution. Without the self-critique I can't tell what you did and did not understand about the solution and I have no way of helping you address anything you might not understand.

In a good self-critique you need identify the specific things you do and do not understand in the given solution, and either demonstrate your understanding or ask specific questions about what you don’t understand. It doesn't accomplish the intended learning goals to simply say that you understand.
