3. SYSTEMS of EQUATIONS INTRODUCTION You and a friend go to get a ‘burger… You order 2 ‘burgers and a coke… $4.25 Your friend orders 3 ‘burgers and 2 cokes What is the cost of 1 ‘burger? $7.00 What is the cost of 1 coke? This is a SYSTEM of EQUATIONS MENU OPENERS ASSIGNMENTS REVIEWS Activities

4. SYSTEMS of EQUATIONS INTRODUCTION 2 ‘burgers and a coke……$4.25 3 ‘burgers and 2 cokes…….$7.00 We have 2 equations We have 2 variables X= cost of a burger Y= cost of a coke MENU OPENERS ASSIGNMENTS REVIEWS Activities

5. SYSTEMS of EQUATIONS INTRODUCTION This is our SYSTEM of EQUATIONS We can solve this system many ways: • GRAPHING • CRAMER’s RULE • SUBSTITUTION • INVERSE MATRICES • GAUSSIAN ELIMINATION • CHOLESKY DECOMPOSITION • To name a few!

10. SYSTEMS of EQUATIONS INTRODUCTION Sometimes it is going to turn out that there is NO SOLUTION or MANY SOLUTIONS In our burger problem, NO SOLUTION: means you and your friend were not charged the same prices MANY SOLUTIONS: means you and your friend ordered the same meal MENU OPENERS ASSIGNMENTS REVIEWS Activities

11. SYSTEMS of EQUATIONS INTRODUCTION It can get much trickier if we add a third variable, like fries! If there are 3 unknowns (burger, coke, fries) then you would need a third person ordering a different combination However many variables you need to find… You need the same number of unique equations MENU OPENERS ASSIGNMENTS REVIEWS Activities

12. SYSTEMS of EQUATIONS INTRODUCTION Systems of equations and multiple choice: Which of the following is a solution to the system of equations? A) (3,4) B) (4, -3)C) (3, -4) D) (4, 3) E) (-3, -4) MENU OPENERS ASSIGNMENTS REVIEWS Activities

13. SYSTEMS of EQUATIONS INTRODUCTION Example Determine whether the given point is a solution of the following system. point: (– 3, 1) system: x – y = – 4 and 2x + 10y = 4 • Plug the values into the equations. First equation: – 3 – 1 = – 4 true Second equation: 2(– 3) + 10(1) = – 6 + 10 = 4 true • Since the point (– 3, 1) produces a true statement in both equations, it is a solution. MENU OPENERS ASSIGNMENTS REVIEWS Activities

14. SYSTEMS of EQUATIONS INTRODUCTION Example Determine whether the given point is a solution of the following system point: (4, 2) system: 2x – 5y = – 2 and 3x + 4y = 4 Plug the values into the equations First equation: 2(4) – 5(2) = 8 – 10 = – 2 true Second equation: 3(4) + 4(2) = 12 + 8 = 20  4 false Since the point (4, 2) produces a true statement in only one equation, it is NOT a solution.
