The resulting matrix of the row operation is given as follows:

[tex]R = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}7&4.5&-6\\-6&-3&12\end{array}\right][/tex]

How to find the resulting matrix?

We apply the row operation on the original matrix, given as follows:

[tex]A = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}4&3&0\\-6&-3&12\end{array}\right][/tex]

The operation is given by:

[tex]R_1 = R_1 - 0.5R_2[/tex]

That is, applying to each element, we have that:

4 - 0.5(-6) = 7.3 - 0.5(-3) = 4.5.0 - 0.5(12) = -6.

Hence the resulting matrix is:

[tex]R = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}7&4.5&-6\\-6&-3&12\end{array}\right][/tex]

Answer:

The answer is 6 and -6

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is
[tex]x^2 - kx + 9 = 0 ... (1)[/tex]

where a = 1. b = -k, c = a

since the equation (1) has equal roots

[tex]\Rightarrow b^2 - 4ac = 0 \newline\\\Rightarrow (-k)^2 - 4(1)(9) = 0\\ \newline\\\Rightarrow (k)^2 - 36 = 0 \newline\\\Rightarrow k^2 = 36 \newline\\\Rightarrow k = \pm 6[/tex]

B. (-15,-15)
c. (-1/5, -15)
D. (-15-15)

Answers

The midpoint of the segment is (-15/2, -15/2)

How to determine the midpoint?

The complete question is in the attached image

The points are given as:

(-8, -7) and (-7, -8)

The midpoint is calculated as:

(x,y) = 1/2 * (x1 + x2, y1 + y2)

So, we have:

(x,y) = 1/2 * (-8 - 7, -7 - 8)

Evaluate the difference

(x,y) = 1/2 * (-15, -15)

Evaluate the product

(x,y) = (-15/2, -15/2)

Hence, the midpoint of the segment is (-15/2, -15/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that BD=OD.

But OD=OB= Radius of the circle.

Therefore

Now let us take the intersecting point of CD and AB as X.

An equilateral triangle with side lengths of 8.7 centimeters is shown. An apothem has a length of a and the radius has a length of 5 centimeters. The apothem and radius form a triangle with a base length of b.
Which statements about finding the area of the equilateral triangle are true? Select three options.

The apothem can be found using the Pythagorean theorem.
The apothem can be found using the tangent ratio.
The perimeter of the equilateral triangle is 15 cm.
The length of the apothem is approximately 2.5 cm.
The area of the equilateral triangle is approximately 65 cm2.

Answers

Options A,B and D. The correction about the area of the triangle are

The apothem can be found using the Pythagorean theorem.The apothem can be found using the tangent ratio.The length of the apothem is approximately 2.5 cm.

How to solve for the length of the Apothem using the Pythagoras theorem

Firstly this is an equilateral triangle

3 of the sides have the length of 8.7cm

b = half of 8.7

= 4.35cm

To get A we have

a² + b² = c²

a² + 4.35² = 5²

When we solve this out we would have

a² = 25 - 18.9225

a ≈ 2.5 cm.

Hence we have proved that the first option is correct.

For B,

In an equilateral triangles, each of the angles = 60 degrees

60/2 = 30 is the angle that is made from the base

using tangent ratios

a / 4.35 = tan 30

then a = 4.35 tan 30

This would also give us an approximate of 2.5

For D

The calculations we have done based on the statements in A and B shows that D is correct as 2.5.

Find the missing lengths in the triangle above
ER=

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

IR = 9√3

E = 60°

I = 30°

R = 90°

• Find ER.

ER/sin(I) = IR/sin(E)

ER/sin(30°) = 9√3/sin(60°)

ER/(1/2) = 9√3/(1/2 √3)

ER/(1/2) = (9√3 . 2)/√3

ER/(1/2) = 18√3/√3

ER/(1/2) = 18 → IR/sin(E)

ER = 18 . 1/2

ER = 9 is the answer

• Find IE (There are 2 ways).

First, using a Sinus Rule.

IE/sin(R) = IR/sin(E)

IE/sin(90°) = 9√3/sin(60°)

IE/1 = 9√3/(1/2 √3)

IE = (9√3 . 2)/√3

IE = (18√3)/√3

IE = 18 is the answer

Second, using a Pythagoras Theorem.

IE = √(IR² + ER²)

IE = √((9√3)² + 9²)

IE = √(81.3 + 81)

IE = √(243 + 81)

IE = √324

IE = 18 is the answer

For what values of x will the function f(x) = 3x² + 13x - 10 equal zero?

Answers

Answer:

x = - 5 , x = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

the values of x that make f(x) zero are the zeros

to find the zeros let f(x) = 0 , that is

3x² + 13x - 10 = 0

consider the factors of the product of  the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.

product = 3 × - 10 = - 30 and sum = + 13

the factors are + 15 and - 2

use these factors to split the x- term

3x² + 15x - 2x - 10 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

3x(x + 5) - 2(x + 5) = 0 ← factor out (x + 5) from each term

(x + 5)(3x - 2) = 0

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5

3x - 2 = 0 ⇒ 3x = 2 ⇒ x = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

What is simple interest?

Simple interest is calculated based on a loan's principal or the initial deposit into a savings account. Simple interest doesn't compound, so a borrower will never have to pay interest on the interest already accumulated because a creditor will only pay interest on the principal amount.

Formula for simple interest is;-

Simple interest = (principal amount×rate of interest×time duration in years)/100

S.I = (P×R×T)/100

Calculation of the total amount paid by Ted to the bank-

The principal amount is  $5,600.

The rate of interest is 9%.

Time duration is 4 months equals 4/12 = 1/3 years.

S.I = (5,600×9×1)/(3×100)

S.I  = 168

The simple interest on amount is $168.

Thus, the total amount is S.I + principal amount

Total amount = 168 + 5600

                      = 5768

Therefore, the total amount paid by the Ted to the bank is $5768.

How can you factor the equation? The simplest way is to ask yourself, which two numbers multiply to 9 while also adding to -6? The two numbers which satisfy this question are -3 and -3. Knowing this, you can construct your factors, simplify, and then solve for "x".

x² - 6x + 9 = 0                    <----- Expanded equation

(x - 3)(x - 3) = 0                  <----- Factored equation

Answers

The parameter to be tested is z.

We would set up the hypothesis test.

For the null hypothesis,

µ ≥ 4.2

For the alternative hypothesis,

µ < 4.2

It is a left tailed test.

Since the population standard deviation is given, z score would be determined from the normal distribution table. The formula is

z = (x - µ)/(σ/√n)

where

x = sample mean

µ = population mean

σ = population standard deviation

n = number of samples

From the information given,

µ = 4.2

x = 4.3

σ = 0.4

n = 37

z = (4.3 - 4.2)/(0.4/√37) = 1.53

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.933

The p value gotten is to the right of the normal curve. Since it is a left tailed test, we need the p value to the left of the curve. Therefore,

p = 1 - 0.933 = 0.067

Since alpha, 0.05 < than the p value, 0.067, then we would fail to reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, At a 5% level of significance, there is no significant evidence that mean GPA of these graduates does not exceed 4.30

Explanation:

Draw an xy grid and plot the point (-4,3) on it. Draw a segment from the origin to this point. Then draw a vertical line until reaching the x axis. See the diagram below.

We have a right triangle with legs of 4 and 3. The hypotenuse is [tex]\sqrt{4^2+3^2} = \sqrt{16+9} = \sqrt{25} = 5[/tex] through use of the pythagorean theorem.

We have a 3-4-5 right triangle.

Therefore, the vector is 5 units long. This is the magnitude of the vector.

Divide each component by the magnitude so that the resulting vector is a unit vector pointing in this same direction.

Therefore, we go from < -4, 3 > to < -4/5,  3/5 >

This is equivalent to < -0.8, 0.6 > since -4/5 = -0.8 and 3/5 = 0.6

They train to improve their physical condition. The most common ways to train include climbing, swimming, running, biking, and weightlifting. You need to have good endurance, stamina, and strength to climb Everest. They also need to buy equipment, including boots and clothes made of special materials. Spikes that attach to boots are necessary to prevent slipping. Having an ice ax also makes climbing easier. Ski goggles protect the eyes from high winds and blowing snow in blizzards. Portable burners and lightweight pots are needed for cooking on the mountain. An outdoor GPS receiver is also necessary so that climbers can be located if they get stuck and need to be rescued. There is an area of the mountain called Khumbu Icefall. This area contains shifting ice and deep crevasses. Special ropes and ladders are needed to cross this area. Climbers use the ladders and ropes to build bridges across gaps in the snow and ice. Some climbers bring their laptops, phones, and cameras to document their journey to the peak. Believe it or not, Everest has a Wi-Fi network.How would the information be different if the excerpt were told from a first-person point of view?
