What is additive inverse of 1/2?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Serjik [45]3 years ago
7 0

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

- (1/2)



Discussion:

Let the "additive inverse" be x. By definition of additive inverse, x,

x + (1/2) = 0.


Subtract (1/2) from both sides to get


x + (1/2) - (1/2)  = 0 - (1/2) =>

x + 0 = - (1/2) =>

x = - (1/2)




Thank you,

MrB

Determine which of the indicated column vectors are eigenvectors of the given matrix
gladu [14]
]Eigenvectors are found by the equation (A-\lambda I) \vec{v} = 0$ implying that \det(A-\lambda I) = 0. We then can write:

A-\lambda I = \left [ \begin{array}{cc} 4-\lambda & 2 \\ 5 & 1-\lambda \end{array}\right ] 

And:

\det(A-\lambda I) = (4-\lambda)(1-\lambda) - 10 = 0 

Gives us the characteristic polynomial:

\lambda^2 - 5 \lambda -6 = 0 \implies \lambda_1 = -1, \lambda_2 = 6

So, solving for each eigenvector subspace:

\left [ \begin{array}{cc} 4 & 2 \\ 5 & 1 \end{array} \right ] \left [ \begin{array}{c} x \\ y \end{array} \right ] = \left [ \begin{array}{c} -x \\ -y \end{array} \right ]

Gives us the system of equations:

4x + 2y = -x \newline 5x + y = - y 

Producing the subspace along the line y = -\frac{5}{2} x

We can see then that 3 is the answer.

An airplane pilot over the Pacific sights an atoll at an angle of depression of 5 . At this time, the horizontal distance from t
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

404.98 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle of depression is 5°

The horizontal distance from the airplane to the atoll is 4629 meters.

We need to find the height of the plane.

If we consider a triangle. 4629 meters will be the base and angle is 5°. Let h is the height of the plane. Using trigonometry to find it :

\tan\theta=\dfrac{x}{4629 }\\\\\tan(5)=\dfrac{x}{4629 }\\\\x=\tan(5)\times 4629 \\\\x=404.98\ m

So, the height of the plane is 404.98 m.

What is the x coordinate of the solution of the system? 2x+y=15 and x-y=3
Varvara68 [4.7K]

x - y = 3

x = 3 + y

x -3 = y

y = x-3

put it in 1st equation

2x +y = 15

2x + x - 3 = 15

3x - 3 = 15

3x = 15+3 = 18

x = 18/3 = 6

x = 6

Bring the fraction a/a−4 to a denominator of 16−a^2<br><br> really do appreciate this thx
RSB [31]

Answer:

-a(a+4)/(16 - a²)

Step-by-step explanation:

            a/(a - 4)                  Multiply by (a + 4)/(a + 4)

= a(a + 4)/[(a – 4)(a + 4)]     Multiply the denominatorator terms

= a(a + 4)/(a² - 16)               Multiply by -1/(-1)

= -a(a+4)/(-a² + 16)              Reorder terms in denominator

= -a(a+4)/(16 - a²)
