The probability that Bela and Jenn pick the same part is; 0.006944

In maps, it is pertinent to note that parallels are the lines that run from east to west and never intersect with each other while meridians run from north to south and intersect at the north and south poles.

Now, since bella's globe has 12 parallels and 12 great meridians, then it means that the total number of parts in this globe will be 12 * 12 = 144 parts.

Thus, probability that they both pick the same part is;

Step-by-step explanation:

4/x + 4 = x - 2/x

multiply everything by x

4 + 4x = x² - 2

x² - 4x - 6 = 0

the general solution to such a quadratic equation

ax² + bx + c = 0

is

x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)

in our case

x = (4 ± sqrt((-4)² - 4×1×-6))/(2×1) =

= (4 ± sqrt(16 + 24))/2 = (4 ± sqrt(40))/2 =

= (4 ± sqrt(4×10))/2 = (4 ± 2×sqrt(10))/2 =

= 2 ± sqrt(10)

x1 = 2 + sqrt(10) = 5.16227766...

x2 = 2 - sqrt(10) = -1.16227766...

Answer:

y = -x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

m = y2-y1 / x2-x1

(-4, 0) and (1, -5)

m = -5+0 / 1+4

m = -5 / 5

m = -1

y = -x + b

0 = -(-4) + b

0 = 4 + b

b = -4

y = -x - 4

Applying distributive property of multiplication the solution of the multiplication problem is 5 11/56

The distributive property states that multiplying the total of two or more addends by a number produces the same outcome as multiplying each addend separately by the number and adding the products together.

Answer:

1. A(t) = 65t + 700

2.B(t) = 40t + 900

3. High School A and High School B will both have 1,220 students in the 8th year

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The equation for the number of students in High School A represents a linear function.

⭐ What is a linear function?

Let's write the equation for High School A in the [tex]y = mx+b[/tex] format, known as slope-intercept form:

∴ High School A: [tex]y = 65x + 700[/tex]

2. Let's write the equation for High School B in the [tex]y = mx + b[/tex] format, known as slope-intercept form:

∴ High School B: [tex]y = 40x + 900[/tex]

3. To find at what year High School A and High School B will have the same number of students, we need to solve a system of linear equations.

⭐What is a system of linear equations?

For this problem, let's set both linear equations equal to each other to see at what point will the high school populations be the same.

[tex]A(t) = B(t)[/tex]

[tex]65t + 700 = 40t + 900[/tex]

[tex]25t = 200[/tex]

[tex]t = 8[/tex]

Now we know that in the 8th year, High School A will have the same population as High School B.

We need to find what the population will be in year 8.

Thus, substitute the value of t into one of the functions and solve.

I am choosing to substitute t into A(t), but you can also do B(t).

[tex]A(8) = 65(8) + 700[/tex]

[tex]A(8) = 520 + 700[/tex]

[tex]A(8) = 1,220[/tex]

⚠️!!! CAUTION !!! ⚠️

Some people may stop at this point and write that in the 8th year, both high schools will have a population of 1,220 students.

However, you should also substitute 8 into the other function you didn't substitute it into to make sure that 8 is correct.

[tex]B(8) = 40(8) + 900[/tex]

[tex]B(8) = 320 + 900[/tex]

[tex]B(8) = 1,220[/tex]

∴ In the 8th year, both high schools will have a population of 1,220 students.

Answer:

a) The function has a minimum value.

b) The minimum value of the function is -27.

c) The minimum value occurs at x=3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum height of the firework is; 387.78 ft

The time for which the firework is in the air before it explodes is; 1 second

We are given the function;

h = -(500/9)t² + (1000/3)t + 10

where;

h is height after time of t seconds

At height of zero, the firework would either be about to launch or when it has come down.

Thus, let us set h = 0 to find the times.

0 = -(500/9)t² + (1000/3)t + 10

Using quadratic equation calculator, we have;

t ≈ 2 seconds

Now the  firework explodes at the highest point which will be the mid point of where the launching started and the endpoint where it stopped.

This means time at midpoint = (0 + 2)/2 = 1 sec

It explodes after 1 second.

Thus maximum height at this time is;

h = -(500/9)(1)² + (1000/3)(1) + 10

h = 387.78 ft

To approximate the total amounts paid (in dollars) over the term of the mortgage, multiply the monthly payment by the term.

Please note I have provided two calculations per monthly payment:

(1) by using the exact term, and (2) using the rounded term from part (a).

[tex]\implies \$897.72 \times 25.7072605... \times 12 =\$276935.06[/tex]

[tex]\implies \$897.72 \times 26 \times 12=\$280088.64[/tex]

[tex]\implies \$1526.49 \times 10.3523853... \times 12=\$189633.75[/tex]

[tex]\implies \$1526.49 \times 10 \times 12 =\$183178.80[/tex]

To calculate the amount of interest costs (in dollars) in each case, subtract $150,000 from the total amounts paid:

[tex]\$897.72\implies 276935.06-150000=\$126935.06[/tex]

[tex]\$897.72 \implies 280088.64-150000=\$130088.64[/tex]

[tex]\$1526.49 \implies 189633.75-150000=\$39633.75[/tex]

[tex]\$1526.49\implies 183178.80-150000=\$33178.80[/tex]

The natural logarithm of a negative number cannot be taken.

Therefore, x > 705.

So the vertical asymptote for the model is:

The monthly payment must be more than $705, and the closer to this value the payment is, the longer it will take to pay off the mortgage.

No, A is not defective.

The rank–nullity theorem is a theorem in linear algebra, which asserts that the dimension of the domain of a linear map is the sum of its rank (the dimension of its image) and its nullity (the dimension of its kernel).

Given here  A be a 4 x 4 matrix and let λ be an eigenvalue of multiplicity 3 and rank 1, then by rank nullity theorem we have

    Rank(A-λI) + Nullity((A-λI) =4

⇒dimN(N-λI) = Nullity(A-λI)

⇒dimN(N-λI) = 4 - Rank(A-λI)

⇒dimN(N-λI)  = 4-1

⇒dimN(N-λI) = 3

Therefore 3 linearly independent eigenvectors belong to eigenvalue λ. Since λ is an eigenvalue of multiplicity 3, this ensures that there is a different eigenvalue different from λ. Along with 3 linearly independent eigenvectors in the eigenspace of λ, this gives us 4 linearly independent eigenvectors in the matrix A. Now we An n × n matrix A is diagonalizable if and only if A has n linearly independent eigenvectors. Thus A is nondefective

Hence, matrix A is not defective.

Answer:

  see the attachment for a graph

Step-by-step explanation:

You seem to want a graph of the inequalities ...

The equations of the boundary lines are given by replacing the inequality symbol with an equal sign:

These are graphed in the usual way. It is often convenient to find the y-intercept, then use the slope to locate other points on the line.

y = -3/2x -2

  The y-intercept is (0, -2). The line has a rise/run of -3/2, so goes down 3 units for each 2 to the right. Another point on the line is (2, -5).

y = 1/2x +6

  The y-intercept is (0, 6). The line has a rise/run of 1/2, so goes up 1 unit for each 2 to the right. Another point on the line is (2, 7).

When the "or equal to" symbol (≤ or ≥) is used, the boundary line is solid. When the "or equal to" case is not part of the solution, the boundary line is dashed.

The line with negative slope through (0, -2) is solid; the line with positive slope through (0, 6) is dashed.

All you need to determine shading is a variable with a positive coefficient, and the inequality symbol.

  y ≤ . . . . . tells you shading is below the solid line

  y > . . . . . tells you shading is above the dashed line

We notice x has a positive coefficient in the second inequality, so we could determine shading from ...

  > x . . . . . tells you shading is left of the line (where x values are less than those on the line)

Of course, you can rearrange the inequality so a variable of interest has a positive coefficient. For example, we could add 3/2x to the first inequality to get ...

  3/2x + y ≤ -2

Then, looking at the x-variable, we see ...

  x ≤ . . . . . tells you shading is to the left of the line

Answer:

See attachment.

Step-by-step explanation:

When graphing inequalities:

Treat the inequalities as equations (swap the inequality sign for an equals sign) to find two points on the line to help draw the lines.

Inequality 1

[tex]y \leq -\dfrac{3}{2}x-2[/tex]

[tex]\begin{aligned}x=0 \implies y&=-\dfrac{3}{2}(0)-2\\y&=-2\end{aligned}[/tex]

[tex]\begin{aligned}x=2 \implies y&=-\dfrac{3}{2}(2)-2\\y&=-5\end{aligned}[/tex]

Plot the points (0, -2) and (2, -5).

Draw a solid straight line through the points.

Shade under the line.

Inequality 2

[tex]y > \dfrac{1}{2}x+6[/tex]

[tex]\begin{aligned}x=0 \implies y&=\dfrac{1}{2}(0)+6\\y&=6\end{aligned}[/tex]

[tex]\begin{aligned}x=4 \implies y&=\dfrac{1}{2}(4)+6\\y&=8\end{aligned}[/tex]

Plot the points (0, 6) and (4, 8).

Draw a dashed straight line through the points.

Shade above the line.

The solution to the two inequalities is the overlap of the shaded parts.

Answer: No

Step-by-step explanation:  If A − λI has rank 1, then the geometric multiplicity of λ is 4 − 1 = 3, equal to the algebraic multiplicity of λ.

The Matrix A is not defective.

A theorem in linear algebra known as the rank-nullity theorem states that the domain dimension of a linear map is equal to the sum of the rank (or the dimension of its image) and the nullity of the map (the dimension of its kernel).

Given:

We have  A be a 4 x 4 matrix

let λ be an eigenvalue of multiplicity 3 and rank 1, then by rank nullity theorem we have

Rank(A-λI) + Nullity((A-λI) =4

dimN(N-λI) = Nullity(A-λI)

dimN(N-λI) = 4 - Rank(A-λI)

dimN(N-λI)  = 4-1

dimN(N-λI) = 3

As a result, eigenvalue is made up of 3 linearly independent eigenvectors.

This guarantees that there is another eigenvalue other than since is an eigenvalue of multiplicity 3. This provides us 4 linearly independent eigenvectors in the matrix A, in addition to the 3 linearly independent eigenvectors in the eigenspace of. Now we If and only if A has n linearly independent eigenvectors, then A is diagonalizable. A thus has no defects.

Hence, matrix A is not defective.

Answer:

f(g(-1)) = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

⭐ The two equations we are given are:

This problem is an example of composite functions.

⭐What are composite functions?

First, we have to compute the value for the 2nd function you see. The 2nd function is inside f(x), and it is g(-1).

Essentially, we have to find the corresponding y-value for when x = -1 in g(x)

[tex]g(-1) = 2(-1) + 5[/tex]

[tex]g(-1) = 3[/tex]

Next, take this value and substitute it as the x-value for f(x).

[tex]f(3) = 1-x^2[/tex]

Now we have to find the y-value for f(x) for when x = 3.

[tex]f(3) = 1 -3^2[/tex]

⚠️⚠️⚠️!!! CAUTION !!! ⚠️⚠️⚠️

Some people may make the mistake of computing f(3) like this:

[tex]f(3) = 1 - 3^2[/tex]

[tex]f(3) = 1+9\\f(3) = 10[/tex]

This is wrong because only 3 is being squared, not -3. Make sure to read the equations you are given carefully to avoid mistakes like this.

[tex]f(3) = 1-3^2\\f(3) = 1-9\\f(3) = -8[/tex]

∴ f(g(-1)) = -8

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

(Not sure how I was supposed to do the model..so I ended up doing it this way..)

3x-5=10

Add 5 on both sides and then you get

3x=15

divide both sides by 3 and then you get

x=5

(Hopefully you can see my model even if it's just a little...)
For the model I drew 3 rectangles and put an x inside each one of them. for the -5, I drew 5 squares with a minus symbol/sign inside. And then I put an equal sign beside and I drew 10 squares with nothing inside but you can draw positive signs in it to show that it's positive..

So basically mines was

3 rectangles with x inside -5 squares with - inside = 10 squares

To solve the given system of equations using elimination, we can add the two equations together to eliminate one of the variables. Doing this, we get 3x + 9y + (-10x - 6y) = 33 + (-14), which simplifies to -7x + 3y = 19. We can then solve for y by dividing both sides of the equation by 3, giving us y = 19/3 = 6.33. We can substitute this value for y in either of the original equations to solve for x. For example, if we substitute 6.33 for y in the first equation, we get 3x + 9 * 6.33 = 33, which simplifies to 3x = 3.67. Dividing both sides of the equation by 3, we get x = 1.22. Therefore, the solution of the system is (1.22, 6.33), which is approximately (1, 6). The answer choice that is closest to this solution is (d) (-1, 4). Thus, the solution of the system is (-1, 4).

Answer:

  x ≤ 40 . . . miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to know the values of x for which d(x) = 0.05x² +x is at most 120.

  d(x) ≤ 120 . . . . . . . . the required limit

  0.05x² +x ≤ 120 . . . . . substitute the expression for d(x)

  x² +20x -2400 ≤ 0 . . . . . multiply by 20, subtract 2400

  (x -40)(x +60) ≤ 0 . . . . . . . . factor. Factors are zero for x=40, x=-60.

The product will be negative for x-values between the zeros:

  -60 ≤ x ≤ 40

We only care about positive values of x:

  0 ≤ x ≤ 40 . . . . .  miles per hour
