Solving linear equations using matrices involves steps ranging from creating an augmented matrix, performing row operations, back substitution, and then interpreting results

To solve a system of linear equations using matrices:

Step 1: Write the system of linear equations in matrix form.

Represent the coefficients of the variables as a matrix (called the coefficient matrix), and the constants on the right side of the equations as another matrix (called the constant matrix).

Step 2: Create the augmented matrix.

Combine the coefficient matrix and the constant matrix into a single matrix by appending the constant matrix as an additional column. This combined matrix is called the augmented matrix.

Step 3: Perform row operations to achieve row-echelon form.

Use row operations (swapping rows, multiplying a row by a constant, or adding/subtracting rows) to manipulate the augmented matrix into row-echelon form. Row-echelon form has zeroes below the diagonal and non-zero elements on the diagonal.

Step 4: Perform back-substitution.

Starting from the last row of the row-echelon form matrix, solve for the variables using back-substitution. Substitute the values of the variables you find into the previous rows to determine the remaining variable values.

Step 5: Interpret the results.

Once you have solved all the variables, you have found the solution to the system of linear equations. If there are infinitely many solutions or no solutions, this will be indicated by the row-echelon form.

Step-by-step explanation:

6 x 14 = 84

8 x 4 = 32

(4 x 7.2)/2 = 14.4

The probability values are P(30 ≤ Amount ≤ 59) = 0.43, P(Amount ≥ 60 or Amount < 30) = 0.57 and P(Amount ≥ 40) = 0.45

At least $30 but not more than $59

This means that we use the money spent from 30 to 59

So, we have

30 to 59 = 76 + 58 + 67

30 to 59 = 201

Total = 85 + 98 + 201 + 84

Total = 468

Next, we have

P(30 ≤ Amount ≤ 59) = 201/468

P(30 ≤ Amount ≤ 59) = 0.43

At least $60 or less than $30

This means that we use the money spent less than 30 and greater than or equal to 60

So, we have

At least $60 or less than $30 = 84 + 85 + 98

At least $60 or less than $30 = 267

Next, we have

P(Amount ≥ 60 or Amount < 30) = 267/468

P(Amount ≥ 60 or Amount < 30) = 0.57

At least $40

This means that we use the money spent greater than or equal to 40

So, we have

At least $40 = 58 + 67 + 84

At least $40 = 209

Next, we have

P(Amount ≥ 40) = 209/468

P(Amount ≥ 40) = 0.45

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the number of plants that can be planted in the rectangular flower bed, we need to calculate the area of the flower bed and divide it by the space required for each plant.

The area of the flower bed is calculated by multiplying its length and breadth.

So, the area of the flower bed is 16m x 9m = 144 sq.m.

Each plant requires a space of 1.2m x 1m = 1.2 sq.m.

Therefore, the number of plants that can be planted in the flower bed is:

144 sq.m. ÷ 1.2 sq.m./plant = 120 plants.

So, you can plant 120 plants in the rectangular flower bed.

Okay, let's break this down step-by-step:

* The telephone pole is 54 feet tall

* The guy wire runs 83 feet from point A (top of pole) to point B (ground)

* So the hypotenuse (AB) of the right triangle is 83 feet

* The opposite side (AC) is 54 feet (height of pole)

To find the adjacent side (BC), we use the Pythagorean theorem:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

54^2 + BC^2 = 83^2

Solving for BC gives:

BC = sqrt(83^2 - 54^2) = sqrt(1296 - 2916) = sqrt(1620) = 40 feet

So the guy wire is secured 40 feet from the base of the telephone pole.

Rounded to the nearest tenth is 40.0 feet.

From the relationship of AC bar ≅ BD bar, we can tell that ABCD is a rectangle.

A quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides is known as a parallelogram.

If ABCD is a parallelogram where AC and BD have equal lengths, then the opposite sides of ABCD are also equal. ABCD has two sets of sides that are parallel and have the same length.

The fact that ABCD possesses two sets of sides that are parallel and of equal length logically leads to the conclusion that it also has four angles that are right. One reason for this is that the angles opposite each other in a parallelogram are of equal measure, while the sum of the angles at each corner of a parallelogram is always 180 degrees.Therefore, ABCD is a rectangle.

Answer:

-3x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of a line perpendicular to the line passing through (-2, 1) and (4, 3), we need to determine the slope of the original line first. Then, we can use the negative reciprocal of that slope to find the slope of the perpendicular line. Finally, we can use the point-slope form to write the equation of the perpendicular line.

Step 1: Find the slope of the original line.

Slope (m) = (change in y) / (change in x)

m = (3 - 1) / (4 - (-2))

m = 2 / 6

m = 1/3

Step 2: Determine the slope of the perpendicular line.

The slope of the perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of the original line's slope.

Perpendicular slope = -1 / (1/3)

Perpendicular slope = -3

Step 3: Use the point-slope form to write the equation.

The point-slope form is given by:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Using the point (-2, 9) and the perpendicular slope (-3), we can write the equation as:

y - 9 = -3(x - (-2))

y - 9 = -3(x + 2)

y - 9 = -3x - 6

y = -3x + 3

Therefore, the equation of the line perpendicular to the line passing through (-2, 1) and (4, 3) and passing through (-2, 9) is y = -3x + 3.

The price of the jeans will decrease because supply is greater than demand hence the stores will sell them at discounted prices.

The store owners would be forced to cut pricing if the jeans weren't purchased at all or as frequently as the other brands. Either they choose that choice, return the goods if possible  or just toss the jeans away. It generally takes some trial and error to determine the proper price.

For instance, the owner may lower the price to $75 and test whether the 25% discount works or not if the jeans initially sell for $100 and nobody buys them for a week.

No matter the values of P, V, T, p, and t, as long as the equation PV/T = pv/t holds true, the solution for v is always equal to V.

To solve for v in the equation PV/T = pv/t, we can manipulate the equation to isolate v on one side.

Starting with the given equation:

PV/T = pv/t

To isolate v, we can cross-multiply:

PVt = pVt

Next, we divide both sides of the equation by pt:

V = v

Therefore, the solution is v = V.

In other words, v is equal to V, which means they represent the same values.
