Anasa mathematician used a system of equations to determine the point in space where a satellite crossed paths with a massive piece of space debris. how many equations did he need? and how many variables were needed to find the exact location in space?

a) 3 equations with 2 variables

b) 2 equations with 2 variables

c) 2 equations with 3 variables

d) 3 equations with 3 variables

Option D.

3 equations with 3 variables

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of a point in space must necessarily have 3 components. One to describe the distance on the x axis, another to describe the distance on the y axis to the point, and a third to describe the distance on the z axis.

If we have three variables, then 3 equations are needed to solve the system. With less than 3 equations it would be impossible to solver the system.

Therefore the correct answer is option D.

3 equations with 3 variables

d? maybe
