17) Solve the system as matrix equations using inverses. 17) A company produces three models of MP3 players, models A, B, and C.

Each model A machine requires 3.2 hours of electronics work, 2.8 hours of assembly time, and 4.4 hours of quality assurance time. Each model B machine requires 5.4 hours of electronics work, 2.4 hours of assembly time, and 3.4 hours of quality assurance time. Each model C machine requires 2.2 hours of electronics work, 5.8 hours of assembly time, and 4.8 hours of quality assurance time. There are 303 hours available each week for electronics, 393 hours for assembly, and 416 hours for quality assurance. How many of each model should be produced each week if all available time must be used? A) Model A: 28 B) Model A: 30 C) Model A: 30 D) Model A: 31 Model B: 22 Model B: 15 Model B: 20 Model B: 20 Model C: 45 Model C: 50 Model C: 45 Model C: 44

Answer:

Model A=30, Model B: 20, Model C: 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount of type A mp3 produced, and the amount of model B mp3's produced and z the amount of model C mp3 produced.

Since in total there are 303 hours for electronics work, then:

3.2x+5.4y+2.2z=303

Since in total there are 393 hours for assembly, then:

2.8x+2.4y+5.8z=393

Since in total there are 416 hours for quality assurance, then:

4.4x+3.4y+4.8z=416

Then, the linear system associated to the problem is

3.2x+5.4y+2.2z=303\\2.8x+2.4y+5.8z=393\\4.4x+3.4y+4.8z=416

with coefficient matrix A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3.2&5.4&2.2\\2.8&2.4&5.8\\4.4&3.4&4.8\end{array}\right] and vector of constant terms b=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}303\\393\\416\end{array}\right]

Since the determinant of A is equal to 36.704 then A is invertible.

Then for solve the system Ax=b, is enough find the inverse of A and operate

Ax=b\\A^{-1}Ax=A^{-1}b\\x=A^{-1}b

Using Octave we obtain that

A^{-1}=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-0.22&-0.50 &0.71\\0.33&0.15&-0.34\\-0.028& 0.35&-0.20\end{array}\right]

Then

x=A^{-1}b=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}30\\20\\45\end{array}\right]

This means that 30 mp3's of model A, 20 of model B and 45 of model C must be produced

A car is on a driveway that is inclined 10 degrees to the horizontal. A force of 490 lb is required to keep the car from rolling
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

a) weight  of the car = 2816,1 lbs

b) 2773 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

The equilibrium force is 490 lbs. That force keep the car at rest, then

∑ Fy  =  0     and  ∑Fx  =  0

Forces acting on the car:

The external force   490 lbs

weight of the car   uknown

Normal force

sin∠10°  =  0,174

cos∠10° = 0.985

∑Fx  =  0         mg*sin10°- 490 = 0      ∑Fy =  0      mg*cos10° - N  =  0

mg*0,174= 490

mg  =  490 / 0,174

mg = 2816,1 lbs

weight  of the car = 2816,1 lbs

The Normal force

mg*cos10° - N  =  0        2816,1 * 0,985 = N

N = 2773 lbs

Then equal force in magnitude and in opposite direction will car exets on the driveway

Simplify this equation <br> Thanks a lot!!!
den301095 [7]

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to simplify the given expression . The given expression is ,

\rm\implies ( 2 \sqrt6 +5)^{2n-1} ( 2\sqrt6 - 5)^{2n-1}

Here we can see that the power of the both exponent is same that is (2n+1) . Recall the property of exponents ,

\bf\implies a^m \times b^m = (ab)^m

Using this property , we have ,

\rm\implies ( 2 \sqrt6 +5)^{2n-1} ( 2\sqrt6 - 5)^{2n-1}

This can be written as ,

\rm\implies\{( 2 \sqrt6 +5) ( 2\sqrt6 - 5)\}^{2n-1}

Simplifying using ( a+b)(a-b) = a² - b² ,

\rm\implies\{( 2 \sqrt6)^2 -5^2 \}^{2n-1}\\\\\rm\implies ( 24 - 25)^{2n-1}

Subtracting the numbers inside the brackets ,

\rm\implies (-1)^{2n - 1 }

Now we know that every odd number is in the form of 2n -1 , where n is any integer. Therefore , the <u>power is odd</u> .

Since the base is (-1) , for even power it is 1 and for odd power it is -1 . Therefore the final answer is ,

\rm\implies\boxed{\quad \red{ -1 }\quad }

<u>Hence </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>required</u><u> answer</u><u> is</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u>-</u><u>1</u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>.</u>
