Because 1 centimeter is smaller than 1 inch, so more centimeters than inches can fit in a given distance.

What contribution to geometry is attributed to the work of René Descartes?

tresset_1 [31]

René Descartes provided the first systematic link between Euclidean geometry and algebra.

<h3>What is Geometry?</h3>

This branch of mathematics involves the study of object shape, their spatial relationship and that of their surrounding space.

René Descartes is referred to as the father of analytic geometry due to him establishing the relationship between Euclidean geometry and algebra.

Determine if the set of polynomials {x^2 –2x+1, 2x² + 3x -4,-x2+x+5) is a linearly independent set in P2. Is it a basis for P? W

WITCHER [35]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a set of polynomials ${x^2-2x+1,2x^2+3x-4,-x^2+x+5}$

We have to find that given set is a linearly independent set in $P_2$

and given set is a basis for $P_2$ or not.

Matrix of given set of polynomials

A= $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&-2&1\\2&3&-4\\-1&1&5\end{array}\right]$

Linearly Independent set :If any row or any column is not a linear combination of other rows or columns then the set is linearly independent set.

Any row or column is not a linear combination of other rows or columns.Therefore, given set is a linearly independent set .

We know that

$P_2=x^2$

Element of $P_2$ is of the form

$ax^2+bx+c$

Every element of $p_2$ is a linear combination of given set of polynomials.

Hence, given set is linearly independent in $p_2$ .

If any set is basis for any vector space then it satisfied the following two conditions

1.Given set is linearly independent.

2.Every element of given vector space spanned by the given set.

Given set of polynomials are linearly independent and spanned every element of $P_2$ .

Therefore, given set is as basis for $p_2$ because the set is linearly independent and spanned $P_2$ .

Can someone please put 1 1/4 cups 0.4 L 950 mL and 0.7 gallons in greatest to least

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

0.7 gallons, 950 mL, 0.4 L, 1 1/4 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to convert the information given into one unit, in this case I will convert it into liters (L)

CUPS

1 cup is equal to 236.588 ml and is the same as .236 L using this information and knowing that 1 1/4 cup is the same as 1.25 cups we have that

$x=\frac{1.25\times .236}{1}$

x=.295 L

LITERS

0.4 L will stay the same

MILILITERS

1 liter is 1000 ml so 950 ml is the same as

$x=\frac{950 \times 1}{1000}$

x=.950 L

GALLONS

1 gallon is 3.78541 L so 0.7 gallons are

$x=\frac{0.7 \times 3.785}{1}$

x=2.649 L

arranging the data from greatest to least we have that 0.7 gallons, 950 mL, 0.4 L, 1 1/4 cups
