It's early in the evening, and you're standing in your back yard waiting for the stars to come out. Before long, you can see two

stars in the sky. The equation of the line between you and Venus (which is actually a planet, but looks like a star) is y = 10x + 30. The equation of the line between you and Sirius is y = 9x + 40. Which star is higher in the sky? Why?

No star is higher; they're the same.
y = 10x + 30
Substitute "9x + 40" with y.

Then you get 9x + 40 = 10x + 30.
Get the variables on one side and the numbers on one side.
Basic algebra used here subtract 9x from both sides. Then subtract 30 from both sides and you will get x = 10.

Plug 10 for X into the equation and you will get Y = 130. Try each problem separately and you will get the same answer for both so they're equal, none is higher.

A denotes an mn matrix. Determine whether the statement is true or false. Justify your answer. The row space of AT is the same a
ziro4ka [17]

Answer: true

Step-by-step explanation:

For an m*n matrix, the column space of A will be a space formed by the lineal combination of all the columns of A.

column space = a1*c1 + a2*c2 + ...

                       

where a1, a2, ... are scalars, and c1 is the vector of column 1.

Then we should write:

Column space = a1*(A₁₁, A₂₁, A₃₁, ...) + a2*(A₁₂, A₂₂, A₃₂, ...) + ...

Now, the transpose is defined as:

[At]₁₃ = A₃₁

Here i used the element with subindex 3 and 1, but is the same for every subindex.

Notice that if A is m*n, then [At] is n*m

Now, the row space of [At] will be, same as before.

Row space = b1*r1 + b2*r2 + ...

Where b1, b2, ... are scalars and the r's are the vector of each row.

                   = b1*( [At]₁₁ , [At]₁₂, [At]₁₃, ...) + b2*([At]₂₁, [At]₂₂, [At]₂₃, ...) + ...

Now we replace each term of the transpose by the associated element in the original matrix.

                   = b1*( A₁₁, A₂₁, A₃₁, ...) + b2*(A₂₁, A₂₂, ...) + ....

If we take:

b1 = a1, b2 = a2, b3 = a3, ...

We will have that the row space of [At] is the same as the column space of A.

According to the line plot, what is the total weight gained by the dogs that gained 1/8 f a pound or 3/4 of a pound?
erik [133]

3 1/8

First you take the all the dogs that gained 3/4 (which is 4)
Then you multiply it by 4

3/4x4=3
Then you add the dogs that gained 1/8 of a pound

3+1/8=3 1/8

Which transformations to the graph of j(x) would result in the graph of j(4x) – 27?
Grace [21]

Answer:

Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, graph of j(x) transformed in the graph of j(4x) – 27.

We need to find the transformations.

Consider the new function is

f(x)=j(4x)-27          ... (1)

The translation is defined as

f(x)=j(kx+a)+b                ... (2)

Where, k is stretch factor, a is horizontal shift and b is vertical shift.

If 0<k<1, then the graph stretched horizontally by factor of 1/k and if k>1, then the graph compressed horizontally by factor of 1/k.

If a>0, then the graph shifts a units left and if a<0, then the graph shifts a units right.

If b>0, then the graph shifts b units up and if b<0, then the graph shifts b units down.

On comparing (1) and (2), we get

k=4>1, the graph j(x) compressed horizontally by factor of 1/4.

a=0, so there is no horizontal shift.

b=-27<0, so the graph of j(x) shifts 27 units down.

So, the required transformations are horizontal compression by a factor of 1/4, and a translation 27 units down.

Therefore, the correct option is D.
