Consider two representations. Representation A is abstract and bears no systematic relationship to what it represents, whereas Representation B shares some features of what it represents. Representation A is a(n) and Representation B is a(n) .

Consider two representations. Representation A is abstract and bears no systematic relationship to what it represents, whereas Representation B shares some features of what it represents. Representation A is a **symbolic representation** and Representation B is an **analogical representation**.

Step-by-step explanation:

Symbolic representation as it sounds, uses visual symbols to represent variable/data. This form of representation doesn't need an explanation or a relationship between the symbol and what it is representing. There are numerous examples of these all over Mathematics and Physics. For example, Angular speed is represented by ω; there isn't a direct relationship between ω and angular speed. We have just come to accept that the symbol, ω, stands for angular speed.

Analogical representation hold some of the actual characteristics of what they represent. One can tell much about what is being represented just by looking at the analogical representation.

Pictures, graphs, Maps etc., are great examples of analogical representations.

{x = -1/2 ,   y = -1

step-by-step explanation:

solve the following system:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

in the first equation, look to solve for y:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

subtract 2 x from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

substitute y = -2 x - 2 into the second equation:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = -2

10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = (6 x + 6) + 10 x = 16 x + 6:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

in the second equation, look to solve for x:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

subtract 6 from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x = -8

divide both sides by 16:

{y = -2 x - 2

{x = -1/2

substitute x = -1/2 into the first equation:

{y = -1

{x = -1/2
