To find for the number of fireflies caught in a minute, we simply look at the equation. The equation is linear and takes the form y = slope * x + b

where slope is also equivalent to the fireflies caught each minute.

So the equation of you and your friend is: (where y is the total fireflies caught)

 

you:

y = 3 m + 13

 

your friend:

y = 4 m + 6

 

So the fireflies caught each minute is:

you: 3

your friend: 4

 

So a total of 7 fireflies each minute combined

Min Jee wants to build a small patio using either brick or paver stones.
Anvisha [2.4K]
Brick = 3.5 in by 7.5 in and costs $0.59
Paver = 8.4 in by 8.4 in and costs $1.88

The small patio's area = 3430 square inches
The Area of 1 Brick = 26.25 square inches
The Area of 1 Paver = 70.56 square inches

The # of Bricks to complete the Patio will be:

Patio's Area / the Area of 1 Brick = # of Bricks to complete the patio
3430 square inches / 26.25 square inches = 130.67 = 131

Then, multiply the # of Bricks to complete the patio by the amount that 1 brick costs:

131 * $0.59 = $77.29

It will take $77.29 to complete the Patio with bricks. 

The # of Pavers to complete the Patio:

Patio's Area / the Area of 1 Paver =  # of Pavers to complete the Patio
3430 square inches / 70.56 square inches = 48.6 = 49

Then, multiply the # of Pavers to complete the patio by the amount that 1 Paver costs:

49 * $1.88 = $92.12

Cost of Bricks to complete Patio = $77.29
Cost of Pavers to complete Patio = $92.12

To conclude, Bricks would cost less by $14.83.

Let A be a 5 × 4 matrix with a pivot in each column. Is A invertible? Why or why not?
erastova [34]

Answer:

Matrix A is not invertible.

Step-by-step explanation:

Invertible matrix are those matrix which are square matrix or non singular matrix.

For any matrix to be invertible, matrix should be non singular i.e. det(x)\neq 0.

But for the question given above we cannot find determinant of matrix A as it is not square matrix. so inverse of given matrix does not exist. so it is not possible to have non trival solutions.

3/9 + 3/27 = ? Adding fractions
RideAnS [48]
\frac{3}{9} + \frac{3}{27} equals \frac{4}{9}.

First, simplify \frac{3}{9} to \frac{1}{3} and also \frac{3}{27} to \frac{1}{9}. Your problem should look like: \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{9}.
Second, find the least common denominator of \frac{1}{3} and \frac{1}{9} to get 9.
Third, make the denominators the same as the least common denominator (LCD). Your problem should look like: \frac{1x3}{3x3} + \frac{1}{9}.
Fourth, simplify to get the denominators the same. Your problem should look like: \frac{3}{9} + \frac{1}{9}.
Fifth, join the denominators. Your problem should look like: \frac{3+1}{9}.
Sixth, simplify. Your problem should look like: \frac{4}{9}, which is the answer.
