<span>(x + 5 1/2) 0.75= 5/8<span>
Convert 0.75 into a fraction
</span></span><span>(x + 5 1/2) 3/4= 5/8
Use distributive property
3/4x + 5 1/2*3/4 = 5/8
Convert 5 1/2 into improper fraction
3/4x + 11/2*3/4 = 5/8
Multiply
3/4x + 33/8 = 5/8
Subtract 33/8 from both sides
3/4x = 5/8 - 33/8
Subtract the numerators but NOT the denominators
3/4x = -28/8
Divide 3/4 on both sides
x = -28/8 divided by 3/4
Convert the division sign to multiplication while flipping the fraction 3/4 to 4/3
x = -28/8 * 4/3
Multiply
Final Answer: x = -112/24 or -4 16/24 or -4 4/6 or -4 2/3 *All answers are equivalent to each other.</span>

What is the inverse matrix that can be used to solve this systems of equations
Gala2k [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is OPTION C

Find the Inverse of a 3x3 Matrix.

First

Find the Determinant of A(The coefficients of e

Proceed towards finding the CO FACTOR of the 3x3 Matrix.

+. - +

A= [ 1 -1 -1 ]

[ -1 2 3 ]

[ 1 1 4 ]

The determinant of this is 1.

Find the co factor

| 2 3 | |-1 3 | |-1 2 |

| 1. 4. | |1 4 | |1. 1 |

|-1. -1 | |1 -1 | |1 -1

| 1. 4 | |1. 4| |1 1|

|-1. -1 | |1 -1 | |1. -1

|2. 3| |-1. 3| |-1 2|

After Evaluating The Determinant of each 2x 2 Matrix

You'll have

[ 5 7 -3]

[3 5 -2 ]

[-1 -2 1]

Reflect this along the diagonal( Keep 5,5 -2)

Then switching positions of other value

No need of Multiplying by the determinant because its value is 1 from calculation.

After this

Our Inverse Matrix Would be

[ 5 3 -1 ]

[7 5 -2 ]

[ -3 -2 1]

THIS IS OUR INVERSE.

SO

OPTION C

A piece of wire measuring 20 feet is attached to a telephone pole as a guy wire. The distance along the ground from the bottom o
dem82 [27]

Answer: Height at which the wire is attached to the pole is 12 feet.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of the wire = 20 feet

Let the height at which wire is attached to the pole be h

and distance along the ground from the bottom of the pole to the end of the wire be x+4

Now, it forms  a right angle triangle so, we can apply "Pythagorus theorem".

H^2=B^2+P^2\\\\20^2=x^2+(x+4)^2\\\\400=x^2+x^2+8x+16\\\\400=2x^2+8x+16\\\\400=2(x^2+4x+8)\\\\200=x^2+4x+8\\\\x^2+4x-192=0\\\\x^2+16x-12x-192=0\\\\x(x+16)-12(x+16)=0\\\\(x+16)(x-12)=0\\\\x=-16\ and\ 12

But height cant be negative so, height will be 12 feet.

Hence, height at which the wire is attached to the pole is 12 feet.

Find the area of the figure shown. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.
kompoz [17]

Answer:

25.5in²

Step-by-step explanation:

A trapezoid is a convex quadrilateral. A trapezoid has at least on pair of parallel sides. the parallel sides are called bases while the non parallel sides are called legs

Characteristics of a trapezoid

It has 4 vertices and edges

If both pairs of its opposite sides of a trapezoid are parallel, it becomes a parallelogram

Area of a trapezoid = (1/2)  x (sum of the lengths of the parallel sides) x height

1/2 x (6 + 11) x 3 = 25.5 in²

the tenth is the first number after the decimal place. To convert to the nearest tenth, look at the number after the tenth (the hundredth). If the number is greater or equal to 5, add 1 to the tenth figure. If this is not the case, add zero
