Nope, the answer is three. Mean means the average of all the numbers. So all you have to do is to add the numbers up and divide the the amount of numbers with your sum.
Answer:
5/8 or 41/8
Step-by-step explanation:
If you mean 1/8 x 5, then that equals 5/8
If mean 1/8 + 5, then that equals 41/8
Answer:
We have the matrix ![A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-4&-4&-4\\0&-8&-4\\0&8&4\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=A%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D-4%26-4%26-4%5C%5C0%26-8%26-4%5C%5C0%268%264%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
To find the eigenvalues of A we need find the zeros of the polynomial characteristic 
Then
![p(\lambda)=det(\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-4-\lambda&-4&-4\\0&-8-\lambda&-4\\0&8&4-\lambda\end{array}\right] )\\=(-4-\lambda)det(\left[\begin{array}{cc}-8-\lambda&-4\\8&4-\lambda\end{array}\right] )\\=(-4-\lambda)((-8-\lambda)(4-\lambda)+32)\\=-\lambda^3-8\lambda^2-16\lambda](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=p%28%5Clambda%29%3Ddet%28%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D-4-%5Clambda%26-4%26-4%5C%5C0%26-8-%5Clambda%26-4%5C%5C0%268%264-%5Clambda%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%29%5C%5C%3D%28-4-%5Clambda%29det%28%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D-8-%5Clambda%26-4%5C%5C8%264-%5Clambda%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%29%5C%5C%3D%28-4-%5Clambda%29%28%28-8-%5Clambda%29%284-%5Clambda%29%2B32%29%5C%5C%3D-%5Clambda%5E3-8%5Clambda%5E2-16%5Clambda)
Now, we fin the zeros of
.

Then, the eigenvalues of A are
of multiplicity 1 and
of multiplicity 2.
Let's find the eigenspaces of A. For
:
.Then, we use row operations to find the echelon form of the matrix
![A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-4&-4&-4\\0&-8&-4\\0&8&4\end{array}\right]\rightarrow\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-4&-4&-4\\0&-8&-4\\0&0&0\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=A%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D-4%26-4%26-4%5C%5C0%26-8%26-4%5C%5C0%268%264%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%5Crightarrow%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D-4%26-4%26-4%5C%5C0%26-8%26-4%5C%5C0%260%260%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
We use backward substitution and we obtain
1.

2.

Therefore,

For
:
.Then, we use row operations to find the echelon form of the matrix
![A+4I_3=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0&-4&-4\\0&-4&-4\\0&8&8\end{array}\right] \rightarrow\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0&-4&-4\\0&0&0\\0&0&0\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=A%2B4I_3%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D0%26-4%26-4%5C%5C0%26-4%26-4%5C%5C0%268%268%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%5Crightarrow%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D0%26-4%26-4%5C%5C0%260%260%5C%5C0%260%260%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
We use backward substitution and we obtain
1.

Then,

Answer:
B. 41 feet per year
Step-by-step explanation:
943/23= 41
Total feet / coefficient= feet per year
