Answer: 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the ratio of their share is 2 : 1 , Let Sarah's share be x , then Caroline's share will be 2x.

Since Caroline gets 45 more than Sarah , then

2x = x + 45 ,

2x - x = 45

x = 45

This means that Sarah's share is 45 and Caroline's share will be 90

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

ratio of 2:1....total of 3....so caroline gets 2/3 of the money and sarah gets 1/3 of the money. Let the total amount of money be x.

so caroline = 2/3x and sarah = 1/3x

caroline gets 45 more then sarah

2/3x = 1/3x + 45

2/3x - 1/3x = 45

1/3x = 45

x = 45 * 3

x = 135.....so the total money is $ 135

caroline gets 2/3 of it.......2/3(135) = 270/3 = $ 90

sarah gets 1/3 of it......1/3(135) = 135/3 = $ 45 <===

) a, p and d are n×n matrices. check the true statements below:
BigorU [14]
A. False. Consider the identity matrix, which is diagonalizable (it's already diagonal) but all its eigenvalues are the same (1).

b. True. Suppose \mathbf P is the matrix of the eigenvectors of \mathbf A, and \mathbf D is the diagonal matrix of the eigenvalues of \mathbf A:


\mathbf P=\begin{bmatrix}\mathbf v_1&\cdots&\mathbf v_n\end{bmatrix}

\mathbf D=\begin{bmatrix}\lambda_1&&\\&\ddots&\\&&\lambda_n\end{bmatrix}

Then

\mathbf{AP}=\begin{bmatrix}\mathbf{Av}_1&\cdots&\mathbf{Av}_n\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}\lambda_1\mathbf v_1&\cdots&\lambda_n\mathbf v_n\end{bmatrix}=\mathbf{PD}

In other words, the columns of \mathbf{AP} are \mathbf{Av}_i, which are identically \lambda_i\mathbf v_i, and these are the columns of \mathbf{PD}.

c. False. A counterexample is the matrix

\begin{bmatrix}1&1\\0&1\end{bmatrix}

which is nonsingular, but it has only one eigenvalue.

d. False. Consider the matrix

\begin{bmatrix}0&1\\0&0\end{bmatrix}

with eigenvalue \lambda=0 and eigenvector \begin{bmatrix}k&0\end{bmatrix}^\top, where k\in\mathbb R. But the matrix can't be diagonalized.

The box plots show the high temperatures in June and August for Denver in degrees Fahrenheit.
Kryger [21]

Hi There!

---------------------------------------------------------

Full Question:

The box plots show the high temperatures in June and August for Denver in degrees Fahrenheit.

Which can you tell about the mean temperatures for these two months?

There is not enough information to determine the mean temperatures.

The mean temperature for August is higher than June's mean temperature.

The mean temperature for June is equal to the mean temperature for August.

The high interquartile range for August pulls the mean temperature above June's mean temperature.

---------------------------------------------------------

Interquartile Range Formula: Q3 - Q1

Interquartile Range for August: 10

Interquartile Range for June: 8

---------------------------------------------------------

Median = Mean

June: 82

August: 82

---------------------------------------------------------

Answer: The mean temperature for June is equal to the mean temperature for August.

---------------------------------------------------------

Hope This Helps :)

Write an explicit formula that represents the sequence defined by the following recursive formula
Stels [109]

Answer:

The explicit formula is a_{n} = 5 - 6n

Step-by-step explanation:

The explicit formula of the arithmetic sequence of the recursive formula

a_{1} = first term; a_{n} = a_{n-1} + d is a_{n} = a + (n - 1)d, where

  • a is the first term
  • d is the common difference between each two consecutive terms
  • n is the position of the number

∵ The recursive formula is a_{1} = -1 and a_{n} = a_{n-1} - 6

→ Compare it with the formula above

∴ a = -1 ⇒ 1st term

∴ d = -6 ⇒ common difference

→ Substitute them in the form of the explicit formula

∵ a_{n}  = -1 + (n - 1)(-6)

∴ a_{n} = -1 + (-6)(n) - (-6)(1)

∴ a_{n}  = -1 + -6n - (-6)

∴ a_{n} = -1 - 6n + 6

→ Add the like term

∴ a_{n} = 5 - 6n

∴ The explicit formula is a_{n} = 5 - 6n

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS &amp; IT DUE tomorrow.
sattari [20]

Answer:

the first one is 2.5, because if you divide the blue in half, you need to divide the yellow in half too

Answer 2:

copy and paste what i write or something:

3+2+1+1= 1 plum purple gallon. So for 3 gallons, you multiply each by 3.

So, Red tint=9

     Blue tint=6

     Yellow tint=3 and

     White tint=3
