{5+2b+3c=0
5−2b+c=0
adding both equations u get10+4c=0⇒c=−10/4=−5/2
then5−2b+(−5/2)=0⇒b=(5/2−5)/(−2)=5/2−5/4=5/4

Answer:  The answer is 3.75 and -2.5.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the values of b and c if the vector (5, b, c) is orthogonal to (1, 2, 3) and (1, -2, 1).

We know that if two vectors are orthogonal, then their dot product is equal to zero. So, we have

(5, b, c).(1,2,3)=0\\\\\Rightarrow 5+2b+3c=0\\\\\Rightarrow 2b+3c=-5,~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(A)

and

(5,b,c).(1,-2,1)=0\\\\\Rightarrow 5-2b+c=0\\\\\Rightarrow -2b+c=-5.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(B)

Adding equations (A) and (B), we have

3c+c=-5-5\\\\\Rightarrow 4c=-10\\\\\Rightarrow c=-2.5,

and from (B), we have

-2b+2.5=-5\\\\\Rightarrow -2b=-7.5\\\\\Rightarrow b=3.75.

Thus, the value of b is 3.75 and the value of c is -2.5.

Which equation represents the statement: Three times the sum of a number and 5 is –30?
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

3(n+5)=-30

Step-by-step explanation:

Three times the sum of a number and 5 is - 30

Vocabulary:

times = multiplication, represented with *

sum = addition, represented by +

unknown number = n

Three * the sum of a number and 5

The sum of a number and 5 is the same as saying n + 5

So we are multiplying 3 by n + 5

Because n is an unknown variable we have to separate the sum of n and 5 from being multiplied by 3 with parenthesis. We do this because if we want to multiply 3 by the sum of n and 5. If we put 3 * n + 5 we are only multiplying the unknown variable by 3 not including the 5 that is added to it.

So we get 3( n + 5 ) is -30

3(n+5)=-30 is the answer.

After rewriting all sets of data from smaller to greater, I found that the last series is the one that is represented by the plot box:

79,86,88,88,92,98,100,106,115,136

Why? Because The median is 95 (like the box)

because the outliers are >  115  (up to 136)
 because their is no outlier on the left by the mini value of 79

Aleks [24]

Answer:

Roughly 18,000

Step-by-step explanation:

When you need to do rough mental math, you can do something like 720 vs 25 or 30 which is pretty simple to do in your head.

If you are very proficient in mental math, you can do something like 720 * 25, which is harder, but if you know the tricks, you can do this quickly.

720 * 25

Multiply 25 by 7.

175

Add two zeros.

17,500

Multiply 25 by 2

50

Add a zero.

500.

17500 + 500 = 18000
