Answer:

  • number of multiplies is n!
  • n=10, 3.6 ms
  • n=15, 21.8 min
  • n=20, 77.09 yr
  • n=25, 4.9×10^8 yr

Step-by-step explanation:

Expansion of a 2×2 determinant requires 2 multiplications. Expansion of an n×n determinant multiplies each of the n elements of a row or column by its (n-1)×(n-1) cofactor determinant. Then the number of multiplies is ...

  mpy[n] = n·mp[n-1]

  mpy[2] = 2

So, ...

  mpy[n] = n! . . . n ≥ 2

__

If each multiplication takes 1 nanosecond, then a 10×10 matrix requires ...

  10! × 10^-9 s ≈ 0.0036288 s ≈ 0.004 s . . . for 10×10

Then the larger matrices take ...

  n=15, 15! × 10^-9 ≈ 1307.67 s ≈ 21.8 min

  n=20, 20! × 10^-9 ≈ 2.4329×10^9 s ≈ 77.09 years

  n=25, 25! × 10^-9 ≈ 1.55112×10^16 s ≈ 4.915×10^8 years

_____

For the shorter time periods (less than 100 years), we use 365.25 days per year.

For the longer time periods (more than 400 years), we use 365.2425 days per year.

Solve the logarithmic equation: x= log5 (1/625)=
Verizon [17]
You can convert (1/625) to an exponent, and it would be ideal to have 5 as the base of it because you want your log base to cancel it out. what i usually do in this case is just test out 5^1, 5^2, etc until i find one that matches the number i need. in this case because the number you're trying to work with is a small fraction, you'll want to use NEGATIVE exponents so it'll create a fraction instead of a large whole number:

5^-1 = 1/5
. . . keep trying those. . .
5^-4 = 1/625

so, because they're equal to one another, it'll be waaay easier after you substitute 5^-4 in place of 1/625

x = log₅ 5⁻⁴

log base 5 of 5 simplifies to 1. subbing in the 5^-4 gets rid of the log for you altogether, and your -4 exponent drops down:

x = -4 is your answer

if the exponent dropping down doesn't make sense to you, you can think of it in another way:

x = log₅ 5⁻⁴

expand the expression so that the exponent moves in front of the log function:

x = (-4) log₅ 5

then, still, log base 5 of 5 simplifies to 1, so you're left with:

x = (-4)1 or x = -4

It takes 3 hours to cook an 8-pound turkey. How long would it take to cook a turkey that is 14 pounds? Round to the nearest tent
pochemuha

Answer:

5.3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

3 hours = 8lbs. turkey

?? hours = 14lbs. turkey

Do proportions:

\frac{3}{8} = \frac{x}{14}  <-- Cross Multiply

42 = 8x  <-- Solve for x

x = 5.25

Round to the nearest tenth:

x = 5.3 hours
