Watch Help VideoGiven The Matrices A And B Shown Below, Find B - A.318154B12be-12

Answers

Answer 1

Given two matrices

[tex]A=\begin{bmatrix}{-18} & {3} & {} \\ {-15} & {-6} & {} \\ {} & {} & {}\end{bmatrix},B=\begin{bmatrix}{-4} & {12} & {} \\ {8} & {-12} & {} \\ {} & {} & {}\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

We will solve for the resultant matrix -B - 1/2A.

This operation is represented as

[tex]-B-\frac{1}{2}A=-\begin{bmatrix}{-4} & {12} & {} \\ {8} & {-12} & {} \\ {} & {} & {}\end{bmatrix}-\frac{1}{2}\begin{bmatrix}{-18} & {3} & {} \\ {-15} & {-6} & {} \\ {} & {} & {}\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

Let's simplify the matrices further based on scalar operations that can be done here. The B matrix will be multiplied by -1 while the A matrix will be multiplied by 1/2. We now have

[tex]-B-\frac{1}{2}A=\begin{bmatrix}{4} & {-12} & {} \\ {-8} & {12} & {} \\ {} & {} & {}\end{bmatrix}-\begin{bmatrix}{-9} & {\frac{3}{2}} & {} \\ {\frac{-15}{2}} & {-3} & {} \\ {} & {} & {}\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

Now, we apply the subtraction of matrices to the simplified matrix operation above. We have

[tex]\begin{gathered} -B-\frac{1}{2}A=\begin{bmatrix}{4-(-9)} & {-12-\frac{3}{2}} & {} \\ {-8-(-\frac{15}{2})} & {12-(-3)} & {} \\ {} & {} & {}\end{bmatrix} \\ -B-\frac{1}{2}A=\begin{bmatrix}{4+9} & {-12-\frac{3}{2}} & {} \\ {-8+\frac{15}{2}} & {12+3} & {} \\ {} & {} & {}\end{bmatrix} \\ -B-\frac{1}{2}A=\begin{bmatrix}{13} & {\frac{-27}{2}} & {} \\ {-\frac{1}{2}} & {15} & {} \\ {} & {} & {}\end{bmatrix} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence, the resulting matrix for the operation -B - 1/2A is

[tex]-B-\frac{1}{2}A=\begin{bmatrix}{13} & {\frac{-27}{2}} & {} \\ {-\frac{1}{2}} & {15} & {} \\ {} & {} & {}\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

The height of a pole is 15 feet. A line with banners is connected to the top of the poleto a point that is 8 feet from the base of the pole on the ground. How long would theline with banners need to be in order for the pole to be at a 90° angle with the ground?Explain your reasoning.

Answers

In order to have a 90º angle (right angle) the length of the line with banners needs to fullfit the Pythagorean theorem: In a right triangle the squared hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the legs squared:

[tex]h^2=l^2+l^2[/tex]

In the given situation the hypotenusa is the line with banners, and the legs are the pole and the 8ft ground from the base of the pole to the end of the line with banners:

h= x

l= 15ft

l= 8ft

[tex]x^2=(15ft)^2+(8ft)^2[/tex]

Solve the equation to find the value of x:

[tex]\begin{gathered} x^2=225ft^2+64ft^2 \\ x^2=289ft^2 \\ x=\sqrt[]{289ft^2} \\ x=17ft \end{gathered}[/tex]Then, to make a right triangle the length of the line witg banners need to be 17ft

use and show all conversion factors to convert 352 inches per second to miles per hour. 352 inches divided by 1 second

Okay, here we have this:

We need to convert 352 inches per second to miles per hour. So we obtain the following:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{352in}{1sc}\cdot\frac{1mile}{63360in}\cdot\frac{3600sc}{1h} \\ =\frac{20\text{miles}}{h} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Finally we obtain that 352 inches per second 20 are miles per hour.

A 33-inch piece of steel is cut into three pieces so that the second piece is twiceas long as the first piece, and the third piece is one inch more than five times thelength of the first piece. What is the length of the first piece?

Answers

Let;

x = the length of the first piece

y=the length of the second piece

z=the length of the third piece

From the question;

"the second piece is twice as long as the first piece" can be written in equation as:

y = 2x

"the third piece is one inch more than five times the length of the first piece"

can be written as :

z= 5x+ 1

Total length of the 3 pieces = 33

This implies:

x + y + z =33

substitute y=2x and z=5x+1 into the above

x + 2x + 5x+1 = 33

8x + 1 = 33

subtract 1 from both-side of the equation

8x = 33 -1

8x = 32

divide both-side of the equation by 8

x= 32/8

x= 4

The length of the first piece is 4-inches

Complete the table for y=-3x + 5 and graph the resulting line. -

Answers

We fill the table as follows:

*We assign values for x and solve for y, that is:

*x = 0:

[tex]y=-3(0)+5\Rightarrow y=5[/tex]

So, the value of y when x = 0 is 5.

*x = 1:

[tex]y=-3(1)+5\Rightarrow y=2[/tex]

So, the value of y when x = 1 is 2.

*x = 2:

[tex]y=-3(2)+5\Rightarrow y=-1[/tex]

So, the value of y when x = 2 is -1.

*x = 3:

[tex]y=-3(3)+5\Rightarrow y=-4[/tex]

So, the value of y when x = 3 is -4.

***The table should look like this:

Answers

Answer:

(tenth root of x to the third power)

see image

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this problem you need to know how to convert radicals to an expression with a fraction exponent(and back to radicals again), ALSO exponent rules for division ALSO subtracting fractions.

Square root x can be written as x^ 1/2

fifth root x can be written as x^ 1/5

When you are dividing expressions with the same base, exponent rules say to SUBTRACT the exponents.

1/2 - 1/5 change to common denominator

5/10 - 2/10

= 3/10

x^1/2 / x^1/5 =

x^ (1/2 - 1/5) =

x^ (5/10-2/10) =

x^ 3/10

Then change back to a radical. Remember "down and out" or "roots are down" and "up, up, up" or "exponents are up"

the number down below goes out (outside) the radical. And the number up top is up and exponents are up, up, up

see image.

x^3/10 =

9. If L 1 equals 120 then what is the measure of its supplement <2=

Answers

Supplementary angles are angles whose addition sums up to 180 degrees.

Therefore, if angle 1 measures 120, then its supplement which is angle 2, must mean both add up to 180.

Hence, you have

Angle 1 + Angle 2 = 180

120 + Angle 2 = 180

Subtract 120 from both sides of the equation

Angle 2 = 180 - 120

Angle 2 = 60 degrees

By definiton, two angles are complimentary angles if they both add up to 90 degrees. Hence if angle L5 equals 50 degrees, then its compliment would be derived as 90 - 50 which equals 40. The compliment of angle L5 which is 50 degrees, equals 40 degrees.

Answers

437,160 is read as four hundred thirty-seven thousand one hundred sixty and 43,716 is read as fourty-three thousand seven hundred sixteen.

The first number has hundreds of thousand and the second one only has tens of thousand. It means that the first number is greater than the second one.

Another way to know this is because of the number of figures before the decimal point. The first number has 6 figures before the decimal point and the second one only has 5.

That way, we know that 437,160 is greater than 43,716.

Answers

Answer

Option D is correct.

R' (1.5, 2)

Explanation

A dilation means the size is increased or decreased. If the scale factor is less than 1, then the size is decreased, but if the scale factor is more than 1, it means the figure is enlarged.

Dilating about the origin just multiplies the coordinates by the scale factor. So, dilating (x, y) about the origin by a scale factor k, gives new coordinates (kx, ky).

For this question, we need to dilate R (3, 4) by a scale factor, r = ½

R' = [½(3), ½(4)] = (1.5, 2)

A 14 m long ladder is placed against a tree. The top of the ladder reaches a point
13 m up the tree.

How far away is the base of the ladder from the base of the tree?

Give your answer in metres (m) to 1 d.p.

Answers

Answer:

Approximately 5.2 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

This formation will make a right triangle. The ground to the point in the tree is one of the legs. The base of the tree to the base of ladder is another leg and the length of the ladder is the hypotenuse. In this case, we already have the hypotenuse and one of the legs, so we need to find the value of another leg.

We can do so by using the Pythagorean Theorem which is [tex]a^2+b^2=c^2\\[/tex].

a and b represent the values of the two legs, and c is the hypotenuse. Since we already have the hypotenuse, we can change this equation a bit to find the other leg.

Let's assign the missing value, b in the theorem.

The new equation will be [tex]b^2=c^2-a^2[/tex].

We can insert the values for c and a and solve for b.

The new equation will be [tex]b^2 = 14^2-13^2[/tex].

[tex]b^2=196-169[/tex]

[tex]b^2=27[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{b^2} =\sqrt{27}[/tex]

The square root of [tex]b^2[/tex] cancels out.

The approximate square root of 27 is 5.19 which we can round to 5.2.
