Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find the inverse of ![A=\left[ \begin{array}{ccc} 1 & 0 & -2 \\\\ 4 & 1 & 3 \\\\ -4 & 2 & 3 \end{array} \right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=A%3D%5Cleft%5B%20%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D%201%20%26%200%20%26%20-2%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%204%20%26%201%20%26%203%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%20-4%20%26%202%20%26%203%20%5Cend%7Barray%7D%20%5Cright%5D)
To find the inverse matrix, augment it with the identity matrix and perform row operations trying to make the identity matrix to the left. Then to the right will be inverse matrix.
So, augment the matrix with identity matrix:
![\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|ccc}1&0&-2&1&0&0 \\\\ 4&1&3&0&1&0 \\\\ -4&2&3&0&0&1\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%20%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Cccc%7D1%260%26-2%261%260%260%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%204%261%263%260%261%260%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%20-4%262%263%260%260%261%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
- Subtract row 1 multiplied by 4 from row 2

As can be seen, we have obtained the identity matrix to the left. So, we are done.
Answer:
364.5
Step-by-step explanation:
you would need a calculator for it, unless you can do exponential math at such a degree... if you're using a PC there's a good graphing calculator at Desmos.com, it can show you how a graph looks, which shows that when n is 7, the answer is 364.5. also it wouldn't be 1093.5 because the exponent is n-1 which means that while n could be 7, you need to take away 1 before using it as an exponent.
The gas would have cost $19.50. Hope this helps :)
The answer is 9 you have to multiply 1/4 three times which gives you 1/64 then you take 576 and multiply it by 1/64 which gives you 9. Hope this helps.
