Let u,v,wu,v,w be three linearly independent vectors in R7R7. Determine a value of kk, k=k= , so that the set S={u−3v,v−2w,w−ku}

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

For a set of vectors a, b and c to be linearly dependent, the linear combination of the set of vectors must be zero.

C1a + C2b + C3c = 0

From the question, we are given the set S={u−3v,v−2w,w−ku}, the corresponding vectors are a(0, -3, 1), b(-2,1,0) and c(1,0,-k)

The values in parenthesis are the ccoefficients of w, v and u respectively.

On writing this vector as a linear combination, we will have;

C1(0, -3, 1) + C2(-2,1,0) + C3(1,0,-k) = (0,0,0)

0-2C2+C3 = 0........ 1

-3C1+C2 = 0 ........... 2

C1-kC3 = 0 ….......... 3

From equation 2, 3C1 = C2

Substituting into 1, -2(3C1)+C3 = 0

-6C1+C3 = 0

-6C1 = -C3

6C1 = C3.…..4

Substitute 4 into 3 to have

C1-k(6C1) = 0

C1 = k6C1

6k = 1

k = 1/6

Hence the value of k for the set of vectors to be linearly dependent is 1/6

Or a very large set of data the measured mean is found to be 288.6 with a standard deviation of 21.2. assuming the data to be no

SashulF [63]

The 68-95-99.7 rule tells us 68% of the probability is between -1 standard deviation and +1 standard deviation from the mean. So we expect 75% corresponds to slightly more than 1 standard deviation.

Usually the unit normal tables don't report the area between -σ and σ but instead a cumulative probability, the area between -∞ and σ. 75% corresponds to 37.5% in each half so a cumulative probability of 50%+37.5%=87.5%. We look that up in the normal table and get σ=1.15.

So we expect 75% of normally distributed data to fall within μ-1.15σ and μ+1.15σ

That's 288.6 - 1.15(21.2) to 288.6 + 1.15(21.2)

Answer: 264.22 to 312.98

Which of equation represents a function? A. x2 + y2 = 9 B. {(4, 2), (4, –2), (9, 3), (9, –3)} C. x = 4. 2x + y = 5

Ipatiy [6.2K]

The answer to your questions is B. {(4, 2), (4, –2), (9, 3), (9, –3)} because you don't have a repeat of a number the X side which is your output. I hope that this is the answer that you were looking for and it has helped you.

5. Which polynomial is equal to (x5 + 1) divided by (x + 1)?

Mkey [24]

Answer:

B $x^4-x^3+x^2-x+1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Dividend = $(x^5+1)$

Divisor = $(x+1)$

Step 1: First The dividend is $(x^5+1)$ and Divisor is $(x+1)$ when divided first time the quotient will be $x^4$ and remainder will be $-x^4+1$

Step: 2 Now the new dividend is $-x^4+1$ and Divisor is $(x+1)$ when divided the quotient will be $x^4-x^3$ and remainder will be $x^3+1$

Step: 3 Now the new dividend is $x^3+1$ and Divisor is $(x+1)$ when divided the quotient will be $x^4-x^3+x^2$ and remainder will be $-x^2+1$

Step: 4 Now the new dividend is $-x^2+1$ and Divisor is $(x+1)$ when divided the quotient will be $x^4-x^3+x^2-x$ and remainder will be $x+1$

Step: 5 Now the new dividend is $x+1$ and Divisor is $(x+1)$ when divided the quotient will be $x^4-x^3+x^2-x+1$ and remainder will be 0.

Hence When the polynomial $(x^5+1)$ is divided by $(x+1)$ the answer or quotient will be equal to $x^4-x^3+x^2-x+1$ and remainder will be 0.

The price of a pair of jeans is $25. If there is a 15% discount, what is the sale price of the jeans?

dusya [7]

Answer:

$29.41

Step-by-step explanation:

You know the discount price is 25 and the original is unknown so call it x. The sale is 15% off and that means that the jeans are 85% of what they used to be since 100-15 is 85. Then you plug it into a formula of 25/x = 85/100 then you cross multiply to get 2500=85x and when you solve for x and round you get $29.41
