Five Equations - Five Unknowns

[generalkorn12]

Hi,

Does anyone know if there are any exercises in Essential, Heineman or the Math Quest that has exercises to do with five equatons and five unknowns?

Or know of a website with this? I try googling it, but it  comes up with nothing :/

Why do you want to do that to yourself?!

I can make one up for you if you want..

Ok, here goes...

       ---(1)

              ---(2)

               ---(3)

                          ---(4)

                            ---(5)

good luck...

I was going to type on my CAS: solve(Equation1 and Equation 2...Equation 5,a,b,c,d,e".

But it was too much effort to even write that out in this box, let alone type it in my CAS or god forbid actually do it by hand .

put it into an augmented matrix and use the rref function on the cas

(reduced row echelon form) - you really don't need to understand what it does or what the process is, but it's faster than typing in all the equations.

I'll translate this into English for all the "normal" Methods students: "Don't do this question"

are you referring to fletch-j's equations?

dah fuck is this? would you ever have to do this in methods?

yes

short answer, no

I think he is, but I doubt it would work (from my minimal knowledge on rref)

Nah, its just for "fun"

yes
f(x)=ax^4+bx^3+cx^2+dx+e, find a, b, c, d and e from given info.

yes
f(x)=ax^4+bx^3+cx^2+dx+e, find a, b, c, d and e from given info.

I don't think Methods ever goes beyond 3 equation in an exam though?

I know its not on the study design, but I think they just stop at 3 (as 4 isn't really testing any more skills than 3 - esp in a tech active exam)

LOL

No, those equations are not linear sim. equations

yes, they are required.
