Ryan is trying to determine whether 2.7x – 5.9 is equivalent to 2.8x – 5.9. To test this, he substitutes 0 for x into both expre

ssions. Explain why this will not give him the correct answer.

Because 2.7*0 = 0  and 2.8*0 = 0

He needs to plug in some other value like x = 1

Each of the 2 expressions given is a linear function of the form y = mx + b.
These two fundtions have the same y-intercept:  -5.9, but the slopes of the two lines are different.  In both cases, f(0) = 0 - 5.9, but this does not indicate that 2.7x-5.9 = 2.8x-5.9 in general.

If Ryan were to subst. 1 for x in these two functions, the results would not be identical:  2.7(1) - 5.9 and 2.8(1) - 5.9.

Hope Ryan comes to realize that this test of his will not give him the correct answer.

A sphere has a radius of 12 inches. A second sphere has a radius of 9 inches. What is the difference of the volumes of the spher
just olya [345]

Answer:

Solution given;

for sphere

radius [r]:12inches

another

radius [R]:9inches

Now

difference in volume of sphere:

volume of sphere of having radius [r-R]

=\frac{4}{3} πr³-\frac{4}{3} πR³

=\frac{4}{3} π(12³-9³)

= 1332π cubic inches

The volume of the larger sphere is <u>___1332</u>__π cubic inches greater than the volume of the smaller sphere.

A trucking company uses matrix A , shown below, to represent the driving time in hours for 6 trucking routes. A = [ 4 6 8 ]
zepelin [54]

Each element of the matrix are multiplied by the scalar to form a matrix of

same size as the original matrix in matrix scalar multiplication.

  • 60 \cdot A = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}240\4&360&480\\360&480&600\end{array}\right]

Reasons:

The matrix <em>A</em> is presented as follows;

A = {\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4&6&8\\6&8&10\end{array}\right]}

Using the multiplication of a matrix and a scalar, we have;

60 \cdot A = 60 \cdot  \left[\begin{array}{ccc}4&6&8\\6&8&10\end{array}\right] =  \left[\begin{array}{ccc}60 \times 4&60 \times 6&60 \times 8\\60 \times 6&60 \times 8&60 \times 10\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}\mathbf{240}&\mathbf{360}&\mathbf{480}\\\mathbf{360}&\mathbf{480}&\mathbf{600}\end{array}\right]

Therefore;

60 \cdot A = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}240\4&360&480\\360&480&600\end{array}\right]
