Answer:

The prism is 3 by 3 by 1.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The prism has a length x and a width x. Since it is a square at the base both length and width are the same amount x. The height is "half the length of one edge of the base". Since the base is x, this makes it 1/2x.

The volume's prism is found using V = l*w*h. Substitute and simplify.

13.5 = x*x*1/2x

13.5 = 1/2 x^3

27 = x^3

3 = x

The prism is 3 by 3 by 1.5.

Solve 7 x - 15 = -2.

Arisa [49]

7x-15=-2 Move -15 to the rigjt side, 7x=-2+15 7x=13 Divide both sides by 7, 7x/7=13/7 x=13/7

So 4x^2+-2x+-6 then multiply by 5 would be the Area of the entire rectangle using the formula A=bh

You'll get 4x^2 − 2x − 6

Whats the volume of the solid??

algol13

Answer:

$2268\pi\ or\ 7,121.52$

Step-by-step explanation:

$A = \pi (\frac{D}{2})^2 = \pi (\frac{18}{2})^2 = \pi 9^2 = 81\pi$

$V = A * h = 81\pi * 28 = 2268 \pi = 7,121.52$

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

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:

$\alpha_{1} = -2\cdot \alpha_{3}$

$\alpha_{1} = -2\cdot k$

$\alpha_{2}= -2\cdot \alpha_{3}$

$\alpha_{2} = -3\cdot k$

It is evident that $\alpha_{1}$ and $\alpha_{2}$ are multiples of $\alpha_{3}$ , which means that the set of vector are linearly dependent.

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

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

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

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

The following system of linear equations is obtained:

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

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

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

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

The set of vectors A and C are linearly independent.
