Answer to Problem 59HP
False
Explanation of Solution
Given: Determine whether the following statement is true or false. If true explain your reasoning. If false give a counterexample.
A rational number is always an integer.
The statement is false.
A rational number is always an integer
Because terminating and repeating decimals are also rational numbers but they are not integers.
For example:

- Here is an augmented matrix for a system of equations (three equations and three variables). Let the variables used be x, y, and z: 1 2 4 6 0 1 -1 3 0 0 1 4 Note: that this matrix is already in row echelon form. Your goal is to use this row echelon form to revert back to the equations that this represents, and then to ultimately solve the system of equations by finding x, y and z. Input your answer as a coordinate point: (x,y,z) with no spaces.arrow_forward1 3 -4 In the following matrix perform the operation 2R1 + R2 → R2. -2 -1 6 After you have completed this, what numeric value is in the a22 position?arrow_forward5 -2 0 1 6 12 Let A = 6 7 -1 and B = 1/2 3 -14 -2 0 4 4 4 0 Compute -3A+2B and call the resulting matrix R.
