Consider the following sets and binary operations, and identify which set is closed under which binary operations.
- natural numbers under addition
- 2x2 nonsingular matrices under matrix addition
- 2x2 nonsingular matrices under matrix multiplication
- 2x2 matrices with determinant 1 under matrix multiplication
- continuous functions between [0,1] and [0,1] under function composition
for each pair, you should clearly state your answer and provide a rigorous explanation.

Type the correct answer in the box. consider the system of linear equations below. rewrite one of the two equations above in the form ax + by = c, where a, b, and c are constants, so that the sum of the new equation and the unchanged equation from the original system results in an equation in one variable.

50 will mark show all use the linear combination method to solve the system of equations. explain each step of your solution. if steps are not explained, you will not receive credit for that step. 2x+9y= -26 -3x-7y=13

Look at this system of equations. -3x + 3y = 12 y = x + 4 the solution set of this system is best explained by which of these statements? a) the graphs of the equations are the same line because the equations have the same slope and the same y-intercept. the system has infinitely many solutions. b) the graphs of the equations are parallel lines because they have the same slope but different y-intercepts. the system has no solution. c) the graphs of the equations are lines that intersect at one point because the equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts. the system has exactly one solution. d) the graphs of the equations are lines that intersect at one point because the equations have the same slope and the same y-intercept. the system has exactly one solution.
