2x + y - z = -8 2y + 3z = -6

-1/2x + y + z = -4

For the following matrix, which of the following matrix operations would result in a11 = 1?

Multiply row 2 by -1 and add it to row 1.

Multiply row 1 by - 1/2.

Multiply row 1 by 1/2.

Multiply row 3 by -4 and add it to row 1.

none of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

im a math expert and none ofe the above makes a11 is to 1

, and

for

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be
