Answer:

b)

Step-by-step explanation:

A is invertible if and only if det(A)≠0. Let's compute the determinant of A and find the values k for which it is nonzero.

Using Sarrus's rule, we obtain that

\det A=0(k)(4)+1(-6)(2)+k(2)(7)-2(k)(k)-7(-6)(0)-4(2)(1)=-12+14k-2k^2-8=-2k^2+14k-20=-2(k^2-7k+10)=2(k-5)(k-2)

Note that the determinant is a quadratic equation on k, which can be factored as above.

Now the determinant is only zero if k=5 or k=2 (the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial). Therefore, if k≠2,5 the determinant is nonzero so A is invertible.

Answer:

All real k except 2 and 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a matrix to be invertible the determinant of it should not be equal to zero.

A matrix P is invertible if |P| ≠ 0

The matrix given here is:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0&1&k\\2&k&-6\\2&7&4\end{array}\right]

For the above matrix to be invertible:

0\times(4k+42)-1\times(8+12)+k\times(14-2k)\neq 0\\-20+14k-2k^{2}\neq 0\\k^{2}-7k+10\neq  0\\(k-2)(k-5)\neq 0\\k\neq 2,k\neq 5

Matrix is invertible for all real k except 2 and 5.

Determine whether each scale factor produces an expansion or a contraction under a dilation of the original image
blondinia [14]

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If the absolute value of the scale factor is less than 1, then the dilation produces a contraction of the original image

If the absolute value of the scale factor is greater than 1, then the dilation produces an expansion of the original image

so

<u><em>Verify each value</em></u>

1) -4

\left|-4\right|=4

4> 1

therefore

The dilation produces an expansion of the original image

2) 0.25

\left|0.25\right|=0.25

0.25 < 1

therefore

The dilation produces a contraction of the original image

3) -2/3

\left|-2/3\right|=2/3

2/3 < 1

therefore

The dilation produces a contraction of the original image

4) 2.3

\left|2.3\right|=2.3

2.3 > 1

therefore

The dilation produces an expansion of the original image

PLEASEEEEE HELP!! BRAINLIEST!!
ycow [4]

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of change = final - initial / time(in years)

= 41 - 43 / 2014 - 2012

= - 2 / 2

<u>Rate of change</u> = <u>- 1</u>

Therefore, the number of employees with health care benefits reduced by 1 person per year between 2012 - 2014 in response to policy changes.
