Answer:

B. The set is linearly independent because at least one of the vectors is a multiple of another vector.

Step-by-step explanation:

A set of n vector of length n is linearly independent if the matrix with these vectors as column has none of zero determinant. The set of vectors is dependent if the determinant is zero. In the given question the vectors have no zero determinants therefore it is linearly independent.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

because <u>c</u> is shorter than<u> a</u> we know C is a smaller angle than A

so the first choice is out.

use the law of cosines to find b

$b^{2}$ = $a^{2} +c^{2} -2*a*c*cos(B)$

$b^{2}$ =1681+400-1326.787871

$b^{2}$ = 754.21219

b= $\sqrt{754.21219}$

b= 27.46292

so the last choice looks good

before conducting some experiments, a scientist mixes 1/2 gram of Substance A with 3/4 gram of Substance B. If the scientist use

horrorfan [7]

Mixing the two ingredients would be adding them together:

1/2 gram + 3/4 gram = 1 1/4 total grams

Divide the total grams by 1/8 to find the number of experiments they can do:

1 1/4 / 1/8 = 5/4 / 1/8 = 5/4 * 8/1 = 40/4 = 10

They can conduct 10 experiments.

keeping in mind that a year has 12 months, thus 6 months is really 6/12 of a year.
