\left[ \begin{matrix} 2 & a \\ -1 & -2 \end{matrix} \right] + \left[ \begin{matrix} b & 4 \\ -2 & 1 \end{matrix} \right]

This addition of matrices can be combined into one matrix.
To add matrices, add the corresponding components of each matrix.

After adding, we'll have the following

\left[ \begin{matrix} 2+b & a+4 \\ -3 & -1 \end{matrix} \right]

This matrix should be equal to the matrix on the right-hand side of the equation. This means that each corresponding component of this matrix and the other matrix should be equivalent.

This means that

2+b=1
AND
a+4=0

Solving these one-step equations will give the values of a = -4 and b = -1. That's answer choice D.

Suppose the radius of a circle is 3 units what is the circumference
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

6\pi or approximately 18.85 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the circumference of a circle is C=2\pi r, where C = circumference and r = radius. In this case, r=3, so after plugging that into C=2\pi r, we get:

C=2\pi r\\  = 2*\pi *3\\=6\pi

Since \pi is approximately 3.1415, 6\pi =6*3.1415=18.849, which rounds to 18.85. Therefore, the circumference of the circle is 6\pi, or approximately 18.85 units. Hope this helps!
