Question

Compute u, v, and u−4v. Given u= -1/3 and v= -5/1.

A) u = 1/3, v = -5/1, u−4v = 21/3
B) u = -1/3, v = 5/1, u−4v = 41/3
C) u = -1/3, v = -5/1, u−4v = 41/3
D) u = 1/3, v = 5/1, u−4v = 21/3

Answer 1

To solve the problem, the given values u = -1/3 and v = -5/1 are used to calculate u−4v, giving us the result of 59/3, making option C the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the problem, the given values u = -1/3 and v = -5/1 are used to calculate u−4v, giving us the result of 59/3, making option C the correct answer.

The student asked to compute u, v, and u−4v given u= -1/3 and v= -5/1. To find u−4v, we can substitute the given values of u and v into the equation.

First, we calculate 4v:
4 * (-5/1) = -20/1 = -20.

Next, we calculate u - 4v:
(-1/3) - (-20) = (-1/3) + 20 = (-1/3) + (60/3) = 59/3.

Therefore, option C is correct: u = -1/3, v = -5/1, u−4v = 59/3.
