Answer:

It's original price as $18.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using a rule of three.

$12.95 per square yard is 30% off its original price.

This means that $12.95 is 100-30 = 70% = 0.7 of the original price. How much is 100% = 1?

x - 1

12.95 - 0.7

0.7x = 12.95

x = \frac{12.95}{0.7}

x = 18.5

It's original price as $18.5.

Q. If A is a square matrix such that A² = A, then write the value of 7 A −(I + A)³, where I is an identity matrix.​
andriy [413]

Answer:

7A−(I + A)³

=7A−(1³ + A³ +3.I.A² +3.1².A)

=7A−(I+ A².A+3A² +34)

= 7A-(I+A.A+3A+34) (*: A² = A)

=7A-(I+ A² +6A)

= 7A-(I+A+64)

=7A-(1+7A)

=7A-I-7A

=-1

What are the vertical asymptote(s) of y= (x-6)/(x+8) (x-7)
White raven [17]

Answer:

x = -8 and x= 7

Step-by-step explanation:

recall that for a rational expression, the vertical asymptotes occur at x-values that causes the expression to become undefined. These occur when the denominator becomes zero.

Hence the asymptototes will occur in x-locations where the denominator , i.e

(x+8)(x-7) = 0

solving this, we get

(x+8) = 0 ----> x = -8

or

(x-7) = 0 ------> x = 7

hence the asymptotes occur x = -8 and x= 7
