\det(\mathbf{AB})=\det\mathbf A\times\det\mathbf B

Because \mathbf{AB} is singular, we have

\det(\mathbf{AB})=0

from which it follows that either \det\mathbf A=0 or \det\mathbf B=0.

Question 6 (1 point)
Shalnov [3]
2. Dividing exponential expression with the same base is what the left hand fractional expression is. Z^8/Z^?=z^6. Since all the bases are the same. To get the exponential power 6 on the right we subtract the denominator’s (bottom part of the fraction) exponential power (on the left) from the numerator’s (top part) exponential power.

Then, 8 - ? = 6? 2 is the only number to make the left equal the right side. This, z^8/z^2=z^6

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (0, -3) and (-4,1).
kozerog [31]

The formula for slope is \frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }

In this case:

y_{2} = 1\\ y_{1} }= -3\\x_{2} = -4\\x_{1} = 0

so...

\frac{1 - (-3)}{-4 - 0}

\frac{4}{-4}

-1 <<<The slope

Hope this helped!

Bess [88]
Have the unknown amount = x 
so 3x : 9x
 you know how many kids meals were bought is equal to the ratio (3x = 12, so x=4)
you already know how many X's for the adults (9) so just multiply (9x4= 36)
lastly add since you need to find the total meals bought (36+12= 48)
