What is the wordy definition of Newton’s second law of motion?? The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force ating on the object, is in the direction of the net force and is inversely proportional to the mass of the object. What’s the basic jist of Newton’s second law of motion?? Acceleration is affected in two ways: Increased by more force Decreased by more mass Acceleration is directly proportional to?

Other than matricies, how can you solve a system of three equations?? Using the triangle method. How does the triangle method of solving a system of three equations work?? Using back substitution. What are the steps involved in the triangle method?? Add/subtract two equations of three variables to form an equation of two variables Do this for another equation, forming an equation with the same two variables Solve this using simulataneous equations Substitute the new values and solve for the final variable Why is it called the “triangle” method of solving equations?

What is the crucial idea that allows you to solve systems of equations using matricies?? If $$ A\left( \begin{matrix} x \\ y \ z\end{matrix} \right) = v $$ then $$ \left( \begin{matrix} x \\ y \ z\end{matrix} \right) = A^{-1}v $$ How could you rewrite [2x+3y = 4 \\ 4x-y = 7] as the product of two matricies?? $$ \left(\begin{matrix}2 & 3 \\ 4 & -1\end{matrix}\right)\left(\begin{matrix}x \ y\end{matrix}\right) = \left(\begin{matrix}4 \ 7\end{matrix}\right) $$ How could you solve this $$\left(\begin{matrix}2 & 3 \\ 4 & -1\end{matrix}\right)\left(\begin{matrix}x \ y\end{matrix}\right) = \left(\begin{matrix}4 \ 7\end{matrix}\right)$$?
