Please, help with system of equations

In summary, a system of equations is a set of two or more equations with multiple variables that are intended to be solved simultaneously. To solve a system of equations, you can use various methods such as substitution, elimination, or graphing. These methods involve manipulating the equations to isolate one variable and then substituting that value into the other equations to find the solution. Systems of equations are important because they are used to model real-world problems in various fields such as physics, economics, and engineering. A system of equations can have any number of equations, but the number of equations should be equal to the number of variables in order to have a unique solution. To check if a solution to a system of equations is correct, you can substitute the values

Please, help with system of equations:
f(x,y)=(5,-2)t+(1,1)
g(x,y)=(-15,6)t+(-2,2)

What have you tried? Where are you stuck?

Even more, what do you want to do? You have two functions from [tex]R[/tex] to [tex]R^2[/tex], [tex]f(t)= (5t+ 1, -2t+ 1)[/tex] and [tex]g(t)= (-15t- 2, 6t+ 2)[/tex]. (Those are not "f(x,y)" and "g(x,y)".) What do you want to do with them? What is your question?
 

FAQ: Please, help with system of equations

1. What is a system of equations?

A system of equations is a set of two or more equations with multiple variables that are intended to be solved simultaneously. The solution to a system of equations is the set of values that satisfy all of the equations in the system.

2. How do I solve a system of equations?

To solve a system of equations, you can use various methods such as substitution, elimination, or graphing. These methods involve manipulating the equations to isolate one variable and then substituting that value into the other equations to find the solution.

3. Why are systems of equations important?

Systems of equations are important because they are used to model real-world problems in various fields such as physics, economics, and engineering. By finding the solutions to these systems, we can make predictions and solve complex problems in these fields.

4. Can I have more than two equations in a system?

Yes, a system of equations can have any number of equations. However, the number of equations should be equal to the number of variables in order to have a unique solution. If there are more equations than variables, the system may be inconsistent, and if there are fewer equations than variables, the system may have infinitely many solutions.

5. How can I check if my solution to a system of equations is correct?

You can check if your solution is correct by substituting the values into each equation in the system and verifying that the equations are satisfied. If all of the equations are true with the given values, then your solution is correct.
