The graph of linear equation is always a straight line ?

The dot product of the D⋅n is 32.

According to the statement

We have given the value of n vector and d matrix and we have to find the dot product of these.

So, For this purpose,

The given values:

n = {-2,-1} and D = [−4423].

The dot product or scalar product is an algebraic operation that takes two equal-length sequences of numbers, and returns a single number.

So, The d matrix become

[tex]D = \left[\begin{array}{cc}-4&4&\\2&3&\\\end{array}\right][/tex]

Now solve it with the help of multiplication then the matrix become

D = (-12, -8)

and n = {-2,-1}

Now multiply both terms with the dot product.

So, the dot product of the both terms will become

D.n = 24 +8

Then

The output of the dot product of both terms is 32.

So, The dot product of the D⋅n is 32.

Answer:

males = 7

females = 43

Step-by-step explanation:

whilst it may seem intuitive to simply subtract 36 from 50, it is not saying "there are 36 males, how many females?" but instead, "the difference between the number of males and females is 36".

You can solve this equation most easily algebraically. For example:

Number of males = x

number of females = y

the question states that the total number of people = 50

therefore we can say that the total number of males (x) + the total number of females (y) = 50 people

therefore: x + y = 50

similarly, the question says that the number of males (x) + 36 = the total number of females (y)

therefore: x + 36 = y

we now have two equations:

x + y = 50

x + 36 = y

whilst both equations have two unknowns (x and y), therefore we can't simple solve for x or y, with the combination, we can see a pattern.

focusing on the second equation: x + 36 = y

we can add x to both sides, because you can pretty much do anything to the equation as long as you do it to both sides.

x + 36 + x = y + x

now this may seem very random, but you now see that one side of the equation equals y + x, and remember from the other equation, x + y = 50. Therefore we can substitute x + y in the second equation for 50.

our two equations:

x + 36 + x = y + x

x + y = 50

therefore:

x + 36 + x = 50

for the sake of clarity, we can combine like terms...

x + x = 2x

therefore:

x + 36 + x = 50

2x + 36 = 50

solve for x by subtracting 36 from both sides, then dividing both sides by 2

2x + 36 - 36 = 50 - 36

2x = 14

2x / 2 = 14 / 2

x = 7

now remember:

Number of males = 7 (we now know x = 7)

now that we've solved for x, we can go back to our original equation:

x + 36 = y

and substitute x...

7 + 36 = y

43 = y

Now remember:

Number of females = 43 (we now know y = 43)

therefore there are 7 males and 43 females. we can proof this by adding 7 and 43, and you'll see you reach 50, which is the correct total number of people.

hope this helps :)

The conjecture we can use is that the sum of all even numbers is an even number.

We are given the sum of two even numbers as follows;

12 = 4 + 8

26 = 6 + 20

48 = 16 + 32

72 = 24 + 48

88 = 36 x 52

From the above, we see that they are all even numbers and as such the conjecture we can use is that the sum of all even numbers is an even number.

The events E and F are not independent

The given parameters are:

P(E n F) = 0.036

P(E|F) = 0.09

P(F|E) = 0.1

To calculate P(E), we use:

P(F|E) = P(E n F)/P(E)

This gives

P(E) = P(E n F)/P(F|E)

So, we have:

P(E) = 0.036/0.1

Evaluate

P(E) = 0.36

To calculate P(F), we use:

P(E|F) = P(E n F)/P(F)

This gives

P(F) = P(E n F)/P(E|F)

So, we have:

P(F) = 0.036/0.09

Evaluate

What is future value?

Future value means the initial investment multiplied by 2 since the future value is meant to double.

The formula for future value of a continuously interest rate is provided below:

FV=PV*e^(rt)

FV=future value=$4,200*2=$8,400

PV=initial investment=$4,200

e=exponential constant=2.7182818

r=interest rate=9.5%

t=number of years it takes for the investment to double=unknown

$8,400=$4,200*2.7182818^(9.5%*t)

$8,400/$4,200=2.7182818^(0.095t)

2=2.7182818^0.095t

take log of both sides

ln(2)=0.095t* ln(2.7182818)

0.095t=ln(2)/ln(2.7182818)

0.095t=0.69314718781684800

t=0.69314718781684800/0.095

t=7.30 years

The future value when interest is compounded quarterly is shown thus:

FV=PV*(1+r/4)^(N*4)

FV=$8,400

PV=$4,200

r=8 7/8%

r=8.875%

N=the number of years it would take for the initial investment to double=unknown

$8,400=$4,200*(1+8.875%/4)^(N4)

$8,400=$4,200*(1+0.0221875)^(N4)

$8,400/$4,200=(1+0.0221875)^(N4)

2=(1+0.0221875)^(N4)

2=(1.0221875)^(N4)

take log of both sides

ln(2)=N4*ln(1.0221875)

N4=ln(2)/ln(1.0221875)

N4=31.5857423180125

The distance d is 9 ft and the height is 12ft.

Here we can model the situation with a right triangle, where the length of the wire is the hypotenuse.

The height is one cathetus and the distance is the other catheti.

Let's define:

We know that the height of the tower is 3 ft larger than the distance, then:

h = d + 3ft

Now we can use the Pythagorean theorem, it says that the sum of the squares of the cathetus is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

Then:

[tex]d^2 + (d + 3ft)^2 = (15ft)^2[/tex]

Now we can solve this equation for d:

[tex]d^2 + d^2 + 6ft*d + 9ft^2 = (15ft)^2\\\\2d^2 + 6ft*d - 216 ft^2 = 0\\\\d^2 + 3ft*d - 108ft^2 = 0[/tex]

Then the solutions are:

[tex]d = \frac{-3ft \pm \sqrt{(3ft)^2 - 4*(-108ft^2)} }{2} \\\\d = \frac{-3ft \pm 21ft }{2}[/tex]

We only take the positive solution:

d = (-3ft + 21ft)/2 = 9ft

An equation in which if the highest degree of the variable is 1(one), then that equation is said to be a linear equation.

General form: ax + b = c; where the power of the variable x is 1.

It is given that,

Jeremiah makes a base pay amount each day and then is paid a commission as a percentage of the total dollar amount the company makes from his sales that day.

Consider,

P - as total pay on a day, x - as the number of dollars worth of computers, B - as basic pay, and C - as commission percentage.

So, the linear equation that relates x and P is,

P = Cx + B   ...(i)

On substituting the values from the given table we get,

122.5 = C(4500) + B ...(ii)

160 = C(7000) + B ...(iii)

175 = C(8000) + B ...(iv)

By solving equations (iii) and (iv), we get

C = 15/1000 = 0.015

B = 55

Finding x value when P = $130:

We have P = Cx + B. Then for P = 130,

130 = Cx + B

We know C = 0.015 and B = 55

On substituting these values,

130 = (0.015) x + 55

⇒ 0.015x = 130 - 55 = 75

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

y= 2x -6

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of a line is given by y= mx +c, where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

To find the equation of a line, two information are needed:

Given that the slope is 2, m= 2. Substitute m= 2 into y= mx +c:

y= 2x +c

Let's find the coordinate in which the line intersects the line 2x -3y= 6. Point of intersection refers to the point at which two lines cuts through each other i.e., the point lies on the graph 2x -3y= 6 and the line of interest.

2x -3y= 6

When x= 3,

2(3) -3y= 6

6- 3y= 6

3y= 6 -6

3y= 0

Divide both sides by 3:

y= 0

Coordinate that lies on the graph is (3, 0).

Substitute the point into the equation and solve for c:

y= 2x +c

When x= 3, y= 0,

0= 2(3) +c

0= 6 +c

c= -6

Substitute the value of c back into the equation:

Thus, the equation of the line in slope-intercept form is y= 2x -6.

Answer: [tex](-2, 5)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The graphs are shown in the attached image.

The solution is where they intersect.

The solution to the system of equations is x = -2 and y = 5.

i.e

The solution is = (-2, 5)

We have,

To find the solutions, you need to set the two equations equal to each other because they both represent the same variable "y."

So, you'll have:

(-7/2)x - 2 = -2x + 1

Now, let's solve for x:

Step 1:

Get rid of the fractions by multiplying both sides by 2:

2 * ((-7/2)x - 2) = 2 * (-2x + 1)

This simplifies to:

-7x - 4 = -4x + 2

Step 2:

Isolate the x terms on one side of the equation.

Let's move the -4x to the left side by adding 4x to both sides:

-7x - 4 + 4x = -4x + 4x + 2

This simplifies to:

-3x - 4 = 2

Step 3:

Now, isolate the constant term by moving the -4 to the right side by adding 4 to both sides:

-3x - 4 + 4 = 2 + 4

This simplifies to:

-3x = 6

Step 4:

Finally, solve for x by dividing both sides by -3:

x = 6 / -3

x = -2

Now that you've found the value of x, plug it back into either of the original equations to find the corresponding y value.

Let's use the first equation y = (-7/2)x - 2:

y = (-7/2) * (-2) - 2

y = 7 - 2

y = 5

Thus,

The solution to the system of equations is x = -2 and y = 5.

[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{x\to-1}\frac{x^m+1}{x^n+1} = \lim_{x\to-1} \frac{x^m+1}{(x+1)(x^{n-1}-x^{n-2}+\cdots-x+1)} \\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~= \frac2m \lim_{x\to-1} \frac1{x+1}[/tex]

which does not exist.

If [tex]m[/tex] is odd and [tex]n[/tex] is even, then we can factorize the numerator so that

[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{x\to-1}\frac{x^m+1}{x^n+1} = \lim_{x\to-1} \frac{(x+1)(x^{m-1}-x^{m-2} +\cdots -x+1)}{x^n+1} \\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~= \frac{0m}2 = 0[/tex]

Answer:

(3x3+3)*2

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume you're asked to compute

[tex]\displaystyle \int \frac{30x^2}{\sqrt{x-4}} \, dx[/tex]

using both of the substitutions provided.

With [tex]u=x-4[/tex], we have [tex]x=u+4[/tex] and [tex]dx=du[/tex]. Then

[tex]\displaystyle \int \frac{30x^2}{\sqrt{x-4}} \, dx = \int \frac{30(u+4)^2}{\sqrt u} \, du \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = 30 \int \frac{u^2 + 8u + 16}{\sqrt u} \, du \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = 30 \int \left(u^{3/2} + 8u^{1/2} + 16u^{-1/2}\right) \, du \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = 30 \left(\frac25 u^{5/2} + \frac{16}3 u^{3/2} + 32 u^{1/2}\right) + C \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = 12 u^{5/2} + 160 u^{3/2} + 960 u^{1/2} + C \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = 12 (x-4)^{5/2} + 160 (x-4)^{3/2} + 960 (x-4)^{1/2} + C \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = 4 \sqrt{x-4} \left(3 (x-4)^2 + 40 (x-4) + 240\right) + C \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = \boxed{4 \sqrt{x-4} \left(3x^2 + 16x + 128\right) + C}[/tex]

With [tex]u=\sqrt{x-4}[/tex], we have

[tex]u^2 = x-4 \implies x^2 = (u^2+4)^2[/tex]

and [tex]2u\,du=dx[/tex]. Then

[tex]\displaystyle \int \frac{30x^2}{\sqrt{x-4}} \, dx = \int \frac{60u \left(u^2+4\right)^2}u \, du \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = 60 \int \left(u^4 + 8u^2 + 16\right) \, du  \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = 60 \left(\frac15 u^5 + \frac83 u^3 + 16u\right) + C  \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = 12 (x-4)^{5/2} + 160 (x-4)^{3/2} + 960 (x-4)^{1/2} + C \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = 4 \sqrt{x-4} \left(3 (x-4)^2 + 40 (x-4) + 240\right) + C \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = \boxed{4\sqrt{x-4} \left(3x^2 + 16x + 128\right) + C}[/tex]

Answer: 125 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first represent the weight of the black rhinoceros and chimpanzee with variables. We will assign r for the rhinoceros and c for the chimpanzee.

In the question, we were given that the weight for a black rhinoceros is 18 times as much as an average-size chimpanzee. This makes 18 times the chimpanzee's weight equal to the rhinoceros' weight.

Let's put this into an equation.

[tex]r=18*c[/tex]

Now, let's put in the values we know to find the weight of the chimpanzee (i.e., c). We know the weight of a rhinoceros (represented by r) is 2250 pounds, so we can replace it for r in the equation.

[tex]2250=18*c[/tex]

To solve this equation, we can divide both sides by 18 to get c by itself and know what it's value is.

[tex]\frac{2250}{18}=\frac{18*c}{18}[/tex]

We can remove the [tex]\frac{18}{18}[/tex] from the right side to be left with c. We can also divide 2250 by 8 to get the weight of an average-size chimpanzee.

[tex]c=\frac{2250}{18}\\ c=125[/tex]

Hence, an average-size chimpanzee weighs 125 pounds.
