Answer:

Only d) is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p=p(\lambda)=\lambda(\lambda-3)^3 (\lambda-2)^2 (\lambda+1) be the characteristic polynomial of B.

a) We use the rank-nullity theorem. First, note that 0 is an eigenvalue of algebraic multiplicity 1. The null space of B is equal to the eigenspace generated by 0. The dimension of this space is the geometric multiplicity of 0, which can't exceed the algebraic multiplicity. Then Nul(B)≤1. It can't happen that Nul(B)=0, because eigenspaces have positive dimension, therfore Nul(B)=1 and by the rank-nullity theorem, rank(B)=7-nul(B)=6 (B has size 7, see part e)

b) Remember that p(\lambda)=\det(B-\lambda I). 0 is a root of p, so we have that p(0)=\det(B-0 I)=\det B=0.

c) The matrix T must be a nxn matrix so that the product BTB is well defined. Therefore det(T) is defined and by part c) we have that det(BTB)=det(B)det(T)det(B)=0.

d) det(B)=0 by part c) so B is not invertible.

e) The degree of the characteristic polynomial p is equal to the size of the matrix B. Summing the multiplicities of each root, p has degree 7, therefore the size of B is n=7.

A scientist has two solutions, which she has labeled Solution A and Solution B. Each contains salt. She knows that Solution A is
Yuri [45]

Answer:

x= 44 ounces y = 66 ounces  

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribution would be an increase to find 80% salt.

Where we use 4/5 = 80 but use here 4/5.

We find 19/20 but just say 95 for solution B =

Let x = the number of ounces of Solution A

Let y = the number of ounces of Solution B

x + y = 110        y = 110 - x

(70x + 95y) = 4/5 x 110

70x + 95y = 88    

70x + 95 y = 88

70x + 95 (88 - x) = 8800 make units equal or for start convert decimalization = same units as 2nd multiplied value.

70x + 8360 - 88x = 8800

-10x - 8360 - 8800 = y

-10x = 440

x = 44 ounces

y = 110- 44

y =  66 ounces

for any positive integer n, the sum of the first n positive integers equals n(n 1)/2. what is the sum of all the even integers b
marusya05 [52]

The sum of all the even integers between 99 and 301 is 20200

To find the sum of even integers between 99 and 301, we will use the arithmetic progressions(AP). The even numbers can be considered as an AP with common difference 2.

In this case, the first even integer will be 100 and the last even integer will be 300.

nth term of the AP = first term + (n-1) x common difference

               ⇒    300 = 100 + (n-1) x 2

Therefore, n = (200 + 2 )/2 = 101

That is, there are 101 even integers between 99 and 301.

Sum of the 'n' terms in an AP = n/2 ( first term + last term)

                                                = 101/2 (300+100)

                                                = 20200

Thus sum of all the even integers between 99 and 301 = 20200

What happens when x is a very small negative number?
marshall27 [118]

With this line, we see that when x is a small negative number, F(x) is a very large negative number, or B.

Remember that F(x) is the same as y. And looking at the pattern of the line, the greater the negative x is, the smaller the negative y is.
