Find the -2 -4 -3 -1 -9-8 determinant OF -15 - 5 6

Determinants are defined only for square matrices, so I assume you are given the 3×3 matrix

A = \begin{bmatrix}-2 & -4 & -3 \\ -1 & -9 & -8 \\ -15 & -5 & 6 \end{bmatrix}

Let's compute the determinant by taking the cofactor expansion along the first column:

\det A = -2 \det\begin{bmatrix}-9 & -8 \\ -5 & 6\end{bmatrix} + \det\begin{bmatrix}-4 & -3 \\ -5 & 6\end{bmatrix} - 15 \det \begin{bmatrix}-4 & -3 \\ -9 & -8\end{bmatrix}

\det A = -2 ((-9)\times6-(-8)\times(-5)) + ((-4)\times6 - (-3)\times(-5)) \\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~- 15 ((-4)\times(-8)-(-3)\times(-9))

\det A = -2(-54-40) + (-24 - 15) - 15 (32 - 27)

\det A = \boxed{74}

Setler [38]

Answer:

aₙ = 1/2 x aₙ₋₁     n≥2

Step-by-step explanation:

aₙ = 1/2 x aₙ₋₁     n≥2  

a₁ = 64

a₂ = 1/2 x 64 = 32

a₃ = 1/2 x 32 = 16

F - Irrational, -13.8
Because the negative sign is not inside of the radical, we can tell that the number is being multiplied by the negative. Thus, do the radical equation first, get the answer 13.8202... and multiply by -1 to get the answer. Also, it is irrational because it is not a perfect square.

Answer:

(5.4582 ; 6.8618)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data:

6 10 2 6 3 3 3 6 6 6 6 5 8 9 10 10 7 9 3 6 5 10 9 9 10 3 8 6 6 3 3 6 6 5 4 10 9 3 5 7 10 6 3 8 6 8 3 3 5 5

Sample mean, xbar = Σx / n

n = sample size = 50

ΣX = 308

xbar = 308 / 50 = 6.16

Using a Calculator :

The sample standard deviation, s = 2.469

Confidence interval = xbar ± margin of error

Margin of Error = Tcritical * s/sqrt(n)

Tcritical at 95% ; df = 50 - 1 = 49

Tcritical = 2.010

Hence,

Margin of Error= 2.010 * (2.469/sqrt(50)) = 0.7018

Lower boundary : (6.16 - 0.7018) = 5.4582

Upper boundary : (6.16 + 0.7018) = 6.8618

(5.4582 ; 6.8618)

Choose the four expressions that are equivalent to 3^-4 ?
Ivan

3^(-4) means "one over 3^4"

    1/(3^4)

That's equal to

    1/81

and

    (1/3)^4

This is also equal to 3^2/3^6.  

So four of those are correct.
