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.

Step-by-step explanation:

there is no mathematical problem to solve.

just follow the instructions as given.

this is an exercise for you to get a feeling about what is what. it is imperative that you do it.

there is really nothing to solve.

remember, that a positive slope means the line goes up (from left to right), and a negative slope means the line goes down (again from left to right).

and I am sure you know what vertical and horizontal means.

I need help with my math.the problem is in the picture below.
Delvig [45]

Given two similar triangles

So, the corresponding angles are congruent, and the corresponding sides are proportional

As shown:

m∠ Y = 35, m∠ X = 90

So, m∠ W = 90 - 35 = 55

And the triangle XYW is similar to the triangle ECD

So,

\begin{gathered} m\angle C=m\angle Y=35 \\ m\angle D=m\angle W=55 \\ m\angle E=m\angle X=90 \end{gathered}

Any help with an explanation would be appreciated!

Problem 1

We'll use the product rule to say

h(x) = f(x)*g(x)

h ' (x) = f ' (x)*g(x) + f(x)*g ' (x)

Then plug in x = 2 and use the table to fill in the rest

h ' (x) = f ' (x)*g(x) + f(x)*g ' (x)

h ' (2) = f ' (2)*g(2) + f(2)*g ' (2)

h ' (2) = 2*3 + 2*4

h ' (2) = 6 + 8

h ' (2) = 14

<h3>Answer: 14</h3>

============================================================

Problem 2

Now we'll use the quotient rule

h(x) = \frac{f(x)}{g(x)}\\\\h'(x) = \frac{f'(x)*g(x)-f(x)*g'(x)}{(g(x))^2}\\\\h'(2) = \frac{f'(2)*g(2)-f(2)*g'(2)}{(g(2))^2}\\\\h'(2) = \frac{2*3-2*4}{(3)^2}\\\\h'(2) = \frac{6-8}{9}\\\\h'(2) = -\frac{2}{9}\\\\

<h3>Answer:  -2/9</h3>

============================================================

Problem 3

Use the chain rule

h(x) = f(g(x))\\\\h'(x) = f'(g(x))*g'(x)\\\\h'(2) = f'(g(2))*g'(2)\\\\h'(2) = f'(3)*g'(2)\\\\h'(2) = 3*4\\\\h'(2) = 12\\\\

<h3>Answer:  12</h3>

The Blue Diamond Company advertises that their nut mix contains (by weight) 40% cashews, 15% Brazil nuts, 20% almonds and only 2
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

At the 0.05 level of significance,  the claim made by Blue Diamond is true

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the Blue Diamond Company advertises that their nut mix contains (by weight) 40% cashews, 15% Brazil nuts, 20% almonds and only 25% peanuts.

H_0: The mix are as per percents given\\H_a:Atleast two differ from the above percent.

(Two tailed chi square test at 5% significance level)

Chi square is calculated as (Obs_exp)^2/Expected

Cashews Brazil nuts Almonds Peanuts Total

Observed 5 6 6 3 20

Expected  40% 15% 20% 25% 1

Expected  8 3 4 5 20

     

Chi square 1.125 3 1 0.8 5.925

df = 3

p value = 0.1153

Since p value >0.0 we accept null hypothesis.
