Answer:

3(3+x)=9+3x, or B

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram, we can see that there are 3 rows of one x and 3 ones each.

Therefore, we can make the equation 3(3+x)

Then we could either count the blocks out to get 9+3x or just solve the above equation.

So, the answer would be 3(3+x)=9+3x, or B

Let [v1,v2,v3] be a set of nonzero vectors in r^m such that the (transpose of vi)*vj = 0 when i is not equal to j. show that the

babunello [35]

Let $\mathbf V$ be the $m\times3$ matrix whose columns are $\mathbf v_1,\mathbf v_2,\mathbf v_3$ , and let $\mathbf c$ be the vector whose components are the constants $c_1,c_2,c_3$ . Now consider the matrix equation

$\mathbf V\mathbf c=\mathbf 0$

Multiplying both sides by $\mathbf V^\top$ , we have

$\mathbf V^\top(\mathbf V\mathbf c)=(\mathbf V^\top\mathbf V)\mathbf c=\mathbf 0$

More explicitly, we're writing

$\mathbf V=\begin{bmatrix}\mathbf v_1&\mathbf v_2&\mathbf v_3\end{bmatrix}$

Multiply both sides by $\mathbf V^\top$ and the left hand side can be written as

$\mathbf V^\top\mathbf V=\begin{bmatrix}{\mathbf v_1}^\top\\{\mathbf v_2}^\top\\{\mathbf v_3}^\top\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}\mathbf v_1&\mathbf v_2&\mathbf v_3\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}{\mathbf v_1}^\top\mathbf v_1&{\mathbf v_1}^\top\mathbf v_2&{\mathbf v_1}^\top\mathbf v_3\\{\mathbf v_2}^\top\mathbf v_1&{\mathbf v_2}^\top\mathbf v_2&{\mathbf v_2}^\top\mathbf v_3\\{\mathbf v_3}^\top\mathbf v_1&{\mathbf v_3}^\top\mathbf v_2&{\mathbf v_3}^\top\mathbf v_3\end{bmatrix}$

We're told that ${\mathbf v_i}^\top\mathbf v_j=0$ whenever $i\neq j$ , so we're left with

$\mathbf V^\top\mathbf V=\begin{bmatrix}\|\mathbf v_1\|^2&0&0\\0&\|\mathbf v_2\|^2&0\\0&0&\|\mathbf v_3\|^2\end{bmatrix}$

Each of $\mathbf v_1,\mathbf v_2,\mathbf v_3$ are nonzero, which means their norms are nonzero, which necessarily implies that $\mathbf c=0$ , and so the vectors $\mathbf v_1,\mathbf v_2,\mathbf v_3$ must necessarily be linearly independent.

Jim sells used drones for 70% of the original manufacturer's purchase price of a new drone. Jim also sells new drones for 15% mo

adell [148]

The function for the amount saved if they purchase a used drone rather than a new drone from Jim's store is f(x) = 0.45x

He sells used drones at 70% of the price (x).

So, the selling price of a used drone is:

$\mathbf{Used = 70\% \times x}$
