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.

Mr. Gephart is traveling from his house to the history museum. How many meters will he travel to the museum? The distance from h
snow_lady [41]

Answer: 6700 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given, we are informed that Gephart is traveling from his house to the history museum and that the distance from home to the history museum is six and seven-tenths kilometers.

In order to know the distance in meters

that he will travel to the museum, we have to multiply the convert the distance given in kilometers to meters. This will be:

1000 meters = 1 kilometer

Therefore, 6 7/10km = (6 7/10 × 1000m)

= 6 7/10 × 1000

= 67/10 × 1000

= 67 × 100

= 6700 meters

He'll travel 6700 meters to the museum.

In a recent year, certain colleges and universities received about $268 million in aid. Ten years later, they received about $94
topjm [15]
D) 65% decrease. 

I worked it out by: 268 mill - 94 mill (calculating the difference in money) 
then divided that by the original 268 mill, to finally get 0.64925.... 

And since the money is decreasing, it is a 65% decrease. 

Hope this helps, and I think it should be right - but maybe double check in case :)
