Let the 2 equal lengths be represented by 2p. Then you can write the equation of ratios
p 2p
---- = -------
16 x+4
which simplifies to
1 2
----- = ------
16 x+4
then x+4 = 32, and x = 28 (answer)
Question: If the subspace of all solutions of
Ax = 0
has a basis consisting of vectors and if A is a matrix, what is the rank of A.
Note: The rank of A can only be determined if the dimension of the matrix A is given, and the number of vectors is known. Here in this question, neither the dimension, nor the number of vectors is given.
Assume: The number of vectors is 3, and the dimension is 5 × 8.
Answer:
The rank of the matrix A is 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the standard basis of the linear transformation:
f : R^8 → R^5, x↦Ax
the matrix A is a representation.
and the dimension of kernel of A, written as dim(kerA) is 3.
By the rank-nullity theorem, rank of matrix A is equal to the subtraction of the dimension of the kernel of A from the dimension of R^8.
That is:
rank(A) = dim(R^8) - dim(kerA)
= 8 - 3
= 5
One scarf=s
One hat=h
2s+h=13
s+2h=14
h=13-2s
(plug that into the other equation)
s+2(13-2s)=14
s+26-4s=14
26-3s=14
-3s=-12
s=4
One hat=$5
One scarf=$4
5+4=9
Price of one hat AND one scarf is $9
= 3a^2b(cuberoot(b^2)) - 3a^2b^3(square root(3a))
answer is the first choice
