Answer: dividing
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Determinant are special number that can only be defined for square matrices.
Step-by-step explanation:
Determinant are particularly important for analysis. The inverse of a matrix exist, if the determinant is not equal to zero.
How to find determinant
For a 2×2 matrix
![det ( \left[\begin{array}{cc}x&y\\a&z\end{array}\right] ) = xz-ay](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=det%20%28%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7Dx%26y%5C%5Ca%26z%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%29%20%3D%20xz-ay)
For a 3×3 matrix
we first decompose it to 2×2
![det (\left[\begin{array}{ccc}k&l&m\\o&p&q\\r&s&t\end{array}\right] )\\\\= k*det(\left[\begin{array}{cc}p&q\\s&t\end{array}\right] ) - l*det(\left[\begin{array}{cc}o&q\\r&t\end{array}\right] ) + m*det(\left[\begin{array}{cc}o&p\\r&s\end{array}\right] ) \\\\=k(pt-sq) - l(ot-rq) + m(os-rp)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=det%20%28%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Dk%26l%26m%5C%5Co%26p%26q%5C%5Cr%26s%26t%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%29%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%20k%2Adet%28%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7Dp%26q%5C%5Cs%26t%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%29%20-%20l%2Adet%28%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7Do%26q%5C%5Cr%26t%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%29%20%2B%20m%2Adet%28%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7Do%26p%5C%5Cr%26s%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%29%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%3Dk%28pt-sq%29%20-%20l%28ot-rq%29%20%2B%20m%28os-rp%29)

Equating the determinant to zero
s = 
* (1 ±5 )
s = 1.61 or -0.61
It is actually quite simple: they are asking for the probability:
there are different types of items and each types there is always at least a 25 cent difference in between (if you go up the or down the scale there will be a 25 cent difference to each type of item. They say that Sam wants to get one of the 8 items. The price at this point doesn't matter. If he wants 1 of the 8 types all you have to do is convert it into a fraction: 1/8. That is the answer
Hope I helped...
Maybe you're confused by this number e.
Replace e with the number 2 and rethink your options:
x^2
2^x
2x
So you think maybe it's C.
2x represents a straight line, ya?
Straight line is going to grow much slower than x^2, a parabola, ya?
But both of those will grow much much slower than an exponential function 2^x.
Oh oh I misread the question.. they wanted the SLOWEST growth, not the fastest. Yes you have the correct option! :)
This major Imperialism occurred during the late 19th Century and early 20th century. It had more negative effects in the modern world today then positive effects. A positive effect is seen in document one called "Modern Progressive Nations," it shows how the larger nations gave to the smaller colonies.
