If the ordered pairs (x,-1) and (5, y) belong to the set {(a, b): b = 2a - 3}, find the values of x and y. |
Answer» Given the ordered pairs (x,-1) and (5, y) belong to the set, {(a, b) : b = 2a - 3} To find : values of x and y solving for first order pair ⇒ (x,-1) = {(a, b): b = 2a - 3} ⇒ x = a and b = -1 If b = - 1 then 2a = - 1 + 3 = 2 So, a = 1 ⇒ x = 1 Similarly, Solving for second order pair. ⇒ (5, y) = {(a, b): b = 2a - 3} ⇒ a = 5 and y = b If a = 5 then b = 2×5 - 3 So, b = 7 ⇒ y = 7 |
