The solution to the equation is p = 1/3 and q = undefined

<h3>How to solve the equation?</h3>

The equation is given as:

p^2 - 2qp + 1/q = (p - 1/3)

The best way to solve the above equation is by the use of a graphing calculator i.e. graphically

However, it can be solved algebraically too (to some extent)

Recall that the equation is given as:

p^2 - 2qp + 1/q = (p - 1/3)

Split the equation

So, we have

p^2 - 2qp + 1/q = 0

p - 1/3 = 0

Solve for p in p - 1/3 = 0

p = 1/3

Substitute p = 1/3 in p^2 - 2qp + 1/q = 0

So, we have

(1/3)^2 - 2q(1/3) + 1/q = 0

This gives

1/9 - 2/3q + 1/q = 0

This gives

2/3q + 1/q = -1/9

Multiply though by q

So, we have

2/3q^2 + 1 = -1/9q

Multiply through by 9

6q^2 + 9 = -q

So, we have

6q^2 + q + 9 = 0

Using the graphing calculator, we have

q = undefined

Hence. the solution to the equation is p = 1/3 and q = undefined

Please help: linear algebra problem. (Linear combinations)

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5&7\\5&-8\\3&-9\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}c\\d\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-16\\3\\-15\end{array}\right]$

This tells us that:

$A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5&7\\5&-8\\3&-9\end{array}\right]$

$b=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-16\\3\\-15\end{array}\right]$

Step-by-step explanation:

So we are saying we have scalars, c and d, such that:

$c\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5\\5\\ 3\end{array}\right]+d\left[\begin{array}{ccc}7\\-8\\-9\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-16\\3\\-15\end{array}\right]$ .

So we want to find a way to express this as:

Ax=b where x is the scalar vector, $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}c\\d\end{array}\right]$ .

So we can write this as:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5&7\\5&-8\\3&-9\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}c\\d\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-16\\3\\-15\end{array}\right]$

n a jar of coins, the ratio of nickels to dimes is 5:7. If the jar contains 350 dimes, how many nickels are there?

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

250 nickles

Step-by-step explanation:

Nickles and dimes are coins with different currency values. One nickel(N) is equal to 5 cents while one dime(D) is equal to 10 cents. The ratio of nickel:dime is 5:7, to put into the equation it will be:

N/D= 5/7

7N=5D ---> 1st equation

There are 350 dimes, the equation will be:

D=350 ----> 2nd equation

We can find out the number of nickels by substitute the 2nd equation into the first. The calculation will be

7N=5D

N= 5D/7

N=5(350)/7

N= 250

Rewrite the rational exponent as a radical by extending the properties of integer exponents. 2 to the 3 over 4 power, all over 2

Zepler [3.9K]

We are asked in this problem to determine the simplified expression of the statement given. The rules that apply in exponential functions is that when an exponential term is raised to the power of an integer, the simplified term has a degree that is equal to the product of the integers involved. The operations involved should be applicable to terms with the same base number only. In this problem, we thus write:

2^3/4 / 2^1/2 = 2^3/4 * 2^-1/2 = = 2^(3/4 - 1/2) = 2^ 1/4. hence the answer is 2^0.25 or simply equal to 1.1892 determined using a calculator.
