The student did not switch both instances of x with y. He should have written x = y2 + 12y.He wrote only the principal square root instead of using the ± sign.The domain is incorrect. For the radicand to be greater than or equal to zero, x must be less than or equal to zero. It should be x < 0.

The first error was made when the variables were changed, the x in 12x was not changed to y.
The second error was when the square root of -11x was taken, for -11x to be positive x should be less than 0 not greater or equal to 0.

2. When dealing with this problem you simply, lets say that it's 85%, you would make it whole number, then move the decimal to the left two places.

3. Let say the number is 0.94, you would put 94/100 then reduce to the lowest term.

Sorry I dont know the first one hope that these two are good enough

Show that there do not exist scalar c1 c2 and c3 c1(-2,9,6)+c2(-3,2,1)+c3(1,7,5)= (0,5,4)

fredd [130]

This is the same as showing the following system of equations doesn't have a solution:

$\begin{cases}-2c_1-3c_2+c_3 = 0 \\ 9c_1 + 2c_2 + 7c_3 = 5 \\ 6c_1 + c_2 + 5c_3 = 4\end{cases}$

or in matrix form,

$\begin{bmatrix}-2&9&6\\-3&2&1\\1&7&5\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}c_1\\c_2\\c_3\end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix}0\\5\\4\end{bmatrix}$

The quickest way to check if there is a solution is to check whether the coefficient matrix is invertible. If its determinant is 0, then it is not invertible.

And the quickest way to show that the determinant is 0 is by observing that the third row is a linear combination of the first two rows:

(-2, 9, 6) - (-3, 2, 1) = (-2 + 3, 9 - 2, 6 - 1) = (1, 7, 5)

So there are indeed no such scalars c₁, c₂, and c₃.

Suppose we select, without looking, one marbles from a bag containing 4 red marbles and 10 green marbles.what is the probability

OlgaM077 [116]

Since 10 out of 14 marbles are green, the probability of selecting a green marble is 10/14=0.714.

Similarly, the probability of selecting a red marble would be 4/14.

Answer: 0.714
