question 79

Multiple Choice

Use the Gauss-Jordan method to solve the system of equations. If the system has infinitely many solutions, give the
solution with y arbitrary.

• C) \(\varnothing\)
• D) \(\left\{ \left( - \frac { 5 } { 2 } y + \frac { 7 } { 2 } , y \right) ^ { \prime } \right.\)

Interstate Warfare

Conflict or war that takes place between two or more sovereign states.

Terrorism

Defined by American law as premeditated, politically motivated violence against noncombatant targets including unarmed or off-duty military personnel by subnational groups or clandestine agents, usually intended to influence an audience. However, a broader definition would include the use by states of indiscriminate violence against civilians in order to achieve military and political goals. Moreover, what one side in a conflict would call terror might be regarded by the other side as legitimate resistance to occupation, as well as ethnic, religious, or national oppression.
