<h3>Given that it is arithmetic</h3>

$d = a_{2} - a_{1} = 61 - ( - 39) = 100$

$a_{n} = a_{1} + (n - 1)d \\ a_{n} = - 39+ 100 (n - 1) \\ a_{n} = - 39 + 100n - 100 \\ a_{n} = - 139 + 100n$

Which expression gives the determinant of the matrix

BartSMP [9]

If the matrix is of 2 by 2 then we can find the determinant of the matrix.

$\begin{bmatrix}a & b\\ c & d\end{bmatrix}$

Then (ad - bc ) gives you the determinant of the matrix.

For example,

$\begin{bmatrix} 2 & 4\\ 1 & -2 \end{bmatrix}$

= (2)(-2) - (1)(4)

= - 4 - 4

$\begin{bmatrix} 2 & 4\\ 1 & -2 \end{bmatrix}$ = -8

Plz help w this math problem

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

• for x = 2a√t, make t the subject:

${ \tt{x = 2a \sqrt{t} }} \\ \\ { \tt{ \sqrt{t} = \frac{x}{2a} }} \\ \\ { \boxed{ \tt{t = \frac{ {x}^{2} }{4 {a}^{2} } }}}$

• then find y:

${ \tt{y = {ar}^{2} - 2at}} \\ \\ { \tt{y = {ar}^{2} - 2a( \frac{ {x}^{2} }{4 {a}^{2} } ) }} \\ \\ { \boxed{ \tt{y = {ar}^{2} - \frac{ {x}^{2} }{2a} }}}$

Riding an elevator down 3 floors. Is that positive or negative

Artyom0805 [142]

That is negative since the elevator is decreasing. If the elevator was going up, it would be positive.
