Answer:

900

Step-by-step explanation:

If 40% per month = 300. Multiply 300 by 3.

Answer:

823 pounds of trash. ( approx )

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the exponential growth function is,

A=P(1+r)^t

Where,

P = initial value,

r = growth rate per period,

t = number of periods,

Here, P = 300 pounds, r = 40% = 0.4, t = 3 months,

Thus, the quantity of trash after 3 months,

A=300(1+0.4)^3=300(1.4)^3 = 823.2\approx 823\text{ pounds}

All vectors are in Rn. Check the true statements below:
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

A), B) and D) are true

Step-by-step explanation:

A) We can prove it as follows:

Proy_{cv}y=\frac{(y\cdot cv)}{||cv||^2}cv=\frac{c(y\cdot v)}{c^2||v||^2}cv=\frac{(y\cdot v)}{||v||^2}v=Proy_{v}y

B) When you compute the product Ax, the i-th component is the matrix of the i-th column of A with x, denote this by Ai x. Then, we have that ||Ax||=\sqrt{(A_1 x)^2+\cdots (A_n x)^2}. Now, the colums of A are orthonormal so we have that (Ai x)^2=x_i^2. Then ||Ax||=\sqrt{(x_1)^2+\cdots (x_n)^2}=||x||.

C) Consider S=\{(0,2),(2,0)\}\subseteq \mathbb{R}^2. This set is orthogonal because (0,2)\cdot(2,0)=0(2)+2(0)=0, but S is not orthonormal because the norm of (0,2) is 2≠1.

D) Let A be an orthogonal matrix in \mathbb{R}^n. Then the columns of A form an orthonormal set. We have that A^{-1}=A^t. To see this, note than the component b_{ij} of the product A^t A is the dot product of the i-th row of A^t and the jth row of A. But the i-th row of A^t is equal to the i-th column of A. If i≠j, this product is equal to 0 (orthogonality) and if i=j this product is equal to 1 (the columns are unit vectors), then A^t A=I    

E) Consider S={e_1,0}. S is orthogonal but is not linearly independent, because 0∈S.

In fact, every orthogonal set in R^n without zero vectors is linearly independent. Take a orthogonal set \{u_1,u_2\cdots u_p\} and suppose that there are coefficients a_i such that a_1u_1+a_2u_2\cdots a_nu_n=0. For any i, take the dot product with u_i in both sides of the equation. All product are zero except u_i·u_i=||u_i||. Then a_i||u_i||=0 then a_i=0.

A toy company makes rectangular sandboxes that measure 6 feet by 5 feet by 1.2 feet. A customer buys a sandbox and 40 cubic feet
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Customer has bought too much sand

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the dimensions (Length, Width and Height) of rectangular box are = 6,5, 1.2.

Volume of a rectangular box = Length * Width * Height

=> 6*5*1.2

=> 36 cubic feet

As mentioned, customer bought a sand box and <u>40 cubic feet of sand.</u>

So,

Volume of rectangular box (R) = 36 cubic feet

Volume of Sand (S) = 40 cubic feet

From analysis

S > R

Which shows that the capacity of sandbox is 36 cubic feet and volume is 40 feet that is a little greater than desired capacity.

Therefore, customer has bought too much sand.

Given that lines b and c are parallel, select all that apply.
dangina [55]

Answer:

Angles 7, 2, and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

       Angle 7 is congruent by corresponding angles to angle 3.

       Angle 2 is congruent by vertical angles to angle 3.

       Angle 6 is congruent by vertical angles to angle 7, which is congruent to angle 3, so angle 3 and angle 6 must also be congruent.
