The merchant needs to fill 60 litres of all types of oils .

What is HCF ?

HCF is the highest common factor, it is the factor in common in more than two numbers.

It is given in the question that

A merchant has 120 litres of oil of one kind, 180 litres of another kind, and 240 litres of the third kind.

He wants to sell the oil by filling the three kinds of equal capacity.

To find the greatest capacity of such a tin , we have to find the highest common factor of the individual capacity.

120=2×2×2×3×5

180=2×2×3×3×5

240=2×2×2×2×3×5

HCF=2×2×3×5=60

The greatest capacity = 60 litres

So the merchant needs to fill 60 litres of all types of oils .

Determine which of the sets of vectors is linearly independent. A: The set where p1(t) = 1, p2(t) = t2, p3(t) = 3 + 3t B: The se

defon

Answer:

The set of vectors A and C are linearly independent.

Step-by-step explanation:

A set of vector is linearly independent if and only if the linear combination of these vector can only be equalised to zero only if all coefficients are zeroes. Let is evaluate each set algraically:

$p_{1}(t) = 1$ , $p_{2}(t)= t^{2}$ and $p_{3}(t) = 3 + 3\cdot t$ :

$\alpha_{1}\cdot p_{1}(t) + \alpha_{2}\cdot p_{2}(t) + \alpha_{3}\cdot p_{3}(t) = 0$

$\alpha_{1}\cdot 1 + \alpha_{2}\cdot t^{2} + \alpha_{3}\cdot (3 +3\cdot t) = 0$

$(\alpha_{1}+3\cdot \alpha_{3})\cdot 1 + \alpha_{2}\cdot t^{2} + \alpha_{3}\cdot t = 0$

The following system of linear equations is obtained:

$\alpha_{1} + 3\cdot \alpha_{3} = 0$

$\alpha_{2} = 0$

$\alpha_{3} = 0$

Whose solution is $\alpha_{1} = \alpha_{2} = \alpha_{3} = 0$ , which means that the set of vectors is linearly independent.

$p_{1}(t) = t$ , $p_{2}(t) = t^{2}$ and $p_{3}(t) = 2\cdot t + 3\cdot t^{2}$

$\alpha_{1}\cdot p_{1}(t) + \alpha_{2}\cdot p_{2}(t) + \alpha_{3}\cdot p_{3}(t) = 0$

$\alpha_{1}\cdot t + \alpha_{2}\cdot t^{2} + \alpha_{3}\cdot (2\cdot t + 3\cdot t^{2})=0$

$(\alpha_{1}+2\cdot \alpha_{3})\cdot t + (\alpha_{2}+3\cdot \alpha_{3})\cdot t^{2} = 0$

The following system of linear equations is obtained:

$\alpha_{1}+2\cdot \alpha_{3} = 0$

$\alpha_{2}+3\cdot \alpha_{3} = 0$

Since the number of variables is greater than the number of equations, let suppose that $\alpha_{3} = k$ , where $k\in\mathbb{R}$ . Then, the following relationships are consequently found:
