(a) Find the determinant D of the 3 X 3
D=|2 1 -1 |
|-1 2 -3|
|1 0 2 |
(b)
Use the determinant in D to find the values of x, y and z if Dx = 18, Dy = 27 and D2 = -36.

Ascientist has 50 grams of a radioactive element. the amount of radioactive element remaining after t days can be determined using the equation (1) after two days the scientist receives a second shipment of 50 grams of the same element. the equation used to represent the amount of shipment 2 remaining after t days is 10) - 50 which of the following is an equivalent form of the expression for the amount remaining in shipment 2? what’s the answer?
