Answer: Sugar = 3 cartons, Flour = 5 cartons, Rice = 6 cartons

Step-by-step explanation:

Sugar = 10 packets/carton

Flour = 6 packets/carton

Rice = 5 packets/carton

10, 20 30... sugar

6, 12, 18, 24, 30... flour

5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30... rice

30/10 = 3 cartons of sugar

30/6 = 5 cartons of flour

30/5 = 6 cartons of rice

For all the number of packets to be equal.

let x1,x2, and x3 be linearly independent vectors in R^(n) and let y1=x2+x1; y2=x3+x2; y3=x3+x1. are y1,y2,and y3 linearly indep

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

$x_1,x_2$ and $x_3$ are linearly independent.

By definition of linear independent there exits three scalar $a_1,a_2$ and $a_3$ such that

$a_1x_1+a_2x_2+a_3x_3=0$

Where $a_1=a_2=a_3=0$

$y_1=x_2+x_1,y_2=x_3+x_2,y_3=x_3+x_1$

We have to prove that $y_1,y_2$ and $y_3$ are linearly independent.

Let $b_1,b_2$ and $b_3$ such that

$b_1y_1+b_2y_2+b_3y_3=0$

$b_1(x_2+x_1)+b_2(x_3+x_2)+b_3(x_3+x_1)=0$

$b_1x_2+b_1x_1+b_2x_3+b_2x_2+b_3x_3+b_3x_1=0$

$(b_1+b_3)x_1+(b_2+b_1)x_2+(b_2+b_3)x_3=0$

$b_1+b_3=0$

$b_1=-b_3$ ...(1)

$b_1+b_2=0$

$b_1=-b_2$ ..(2)

$b_2+b_3=0$

$b_2=-b_3$ ..(3)

Because $x_1,x_2$ and $x_3$ are linearly independent.

From equation (1) and (3)

$b_1=b_2$ ...(4)

Adding equation (2) and (4)

$2b_1==0$

$b_1=0$

From equation (1) and (2)

$b_3=0,b_2=0,b_3=0$

Hence, $y_1,y_2$ and $y_3$ area linearly independent.

Jack reads his book for 8 minutes before school and 10 minutes after school. He attends school Monday through Friday. Which equa

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

<h2>90 min or 1hr 30 mins</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Even though the options to choose from are not given in this question we can try and lay our hand on the most likely equation for the number of minutes Jack reads his book.

firstly on a daily Jack reads a total of = 8+10 = 18 mins

He attends school from Mon- fri = 5 days

Now on a weekly basis jack reads = 5*18

in other words, the equation is simply the number of days times the time spent to read his book per day

hence this is = 90 min or 1hr 30 mins
