Answer:

1/10

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's find the total number of students (25+15+5+5). We don't need to worry about them overlapping, as the questions says "only." We get the total of 50.

Out of the 50 students, there are 5 students that play both instruments. This means that 5 is our numerator and 50 is our denominator, giving us 5/50 or 1/10.

Find the inverse of this matrix.<br> 1 -1 -1<br> -1 2 3 <br> 1 1 4
zheka24 [161]

Let's use Gaussian elimination. Consider the augmented matrix,

\left[\begin{array}{ccc|ccc}1 & -1 & -1 & 1 & 0 & 0\\-1 & 2 & 3 & 0 & 1 & 0\\1 & 1 & 4 & 0 & 0 & 1\end{array}\right]

• Add row 1 to row 2, and add -1 (row 1) to row 3:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc|ccc}1 & -1 & -1 & 1 & 0 & 0\\0 & 1 & 2 & 1 & 1 & 0\\0 & 2 & 5 & -1 & 0 & 1\end{array}\right]

• Add -2 (row 2) to row 3:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc|ccc}1 & -1 & -1 & 1 & 0 & 0\\0 & 1 & 2 & 1 & 1 & 0\\0 & 0 & 1 & -3 & -2 & 1\end{array}\right]

• Add -2 (row 3) to row 2:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc|ccc}1 & -1 & -1 & 1 & 0 & 0\\0 & 1 & 0 & 7 & 5 & -2\\0 & 0 & 1 & -3 & -2 & 1\end{array}\right]

• Add row 2 and row 3 to row 1:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc|ccc}1 & 0 & 0 & 5 & 3 & -1\\0 & 1 & 0 & 7 & 5 & -2\\0 & 0 & 1 & -3 & -2 & 1\end{array}\right]

So the inverse is

\begin{bmatrix}1&-1&-1\\-1&2&3\\1&1&4\end{bmatrix}^{-1} = \boxed{\begin{bmatrix}5&3&-1\\7&5&-2\\-3&-2&1\end{bmatrix}}

Solve the problem.
marta [7]

Answer:

There will be 90 ways to reach Greenup from Charleston.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Option C: 90 is correct.</em>

Let's name all the ways and try to visualize the roads.

C = Charleston

M = Mattoon

T = Toledo

G = Greenup

Task = Charleston to Greenup. How many different ways to reach?

    1            1          

    2           2           1

C   3     M   3   T      2   G

     4           4           3

     5           5

                   6

So, Refer to this above diagram.

If we Start from C then go to 1 and then go to M and then go to 1 and then go to T and then go to 1 and then go G.

If you notice, in this single possibility we have 3 ways: C to 1 to M, M to 1 to T, T to 1 to G.

It means we will have: 5 x 6 x 3 = 90 number of ways to reach greenup from Charleston.

Several students were asked how many blocks they walk from home to school each day. The results are shown in the line plot. How
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

25 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

A line plot is a simple graph that shows relationship among the values in a data using a number line.

From the line plot, each dot represents a student. While the number on the line shows the number of blocks walk each day by each student.

It can be deduced from the line plot that;

Only 1 student walks through 7 blocks, 2 walk through 5 blocks, 8 walk 4 blocks, 5 walk 3 blocks, 5 walk 2 blocks and 4 walk through 1 block to school each day.

So that;

1 + 2 + 8 + 5 + 5 + 4 = 25

Therefore, the number of students who took part in the survey is 25.
