11% = 16.5
1% = 16.5 / 11
= 1.5
100% = 1.5 * 100
= 150. His weight two years ago was 150 pounds.

X + (x * .11) = x + 16.5
2x * .11 = x + 16.5
Subtract x from both sides.
x * .11 = 16.5
Divide by .11 on both sides.
x = 150

Ray weighed 150 pounds two years ago.

Whilst shopping, the probability that Caroline buys fruit is 0.7.
Lilit [14]

Answer:

Probability that Caroline buys fruit, a CD or both is 0.76.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let event A = Caroline buys fruit, event B = Caroline buys CD, Ac and Bc are complementary events.

Events AB, ABc, AcB and AcBc are jointly exhaustive and disjoint, hence P(AB) + P(ABc) + P(AcB) +P(AcBc) =1.

Events A and B independent, hence Ac and Bc independent too and probability P(AcBc) = P(Ac)*P(Bc) = (1 - P(A))(1-P(B)) = 0.6*0.4 = 0.24.

Required probability P(AB + ABc + AcB ) = P(AB) + P(ABc) + P(AcB) = 1- P(AcBc) = 1 - 0.24 = 0.76.

Test the set of polynomials for linear independence. If it is linearly dependent, express one of the polynomials as a linear com
aliina [53]

Answer:

The set of polynomial  is Linearly Independent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - {f(x) =7 + x, g(x) = 7 +x^2, h(x)=7 - x + x^2} in P^2

To find - Test the set of polynomials for linear independence.

Definition used -

A set of n vectors of length n is linearly independent if the matrix with these vectors as columns has a non-zero determinant.

The set is dependent if the determinant is zero.

Solution -

Given that,

f(x) =7 + x,

g(x) = 7 +x^2,

h(x)=7 - x + x^2

Now,

We can also write them as

f(x) = 7 + 1.x + 0.x²

g(x) = 7 + 0.x + 1.x²

h(x) = 7 - 1.x + 1.x²

Now,

The coefficient matrix becomes

A = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}7&1&0\\7&0&1\\7&-1&1\end{array}\right]

Now,

Det(A) = 7(0 + 1) - 1(7 - 7) + 0

           = 7(1) - 1(0)

           = 7 - 0 = 7

⇒Det(A) = 7 ≠ 0

As the determinant is non- zero ,

So, The set of polynomial  is Linearly Independent.
