Answer:

The total number of copy rooms in the building is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

With the given information we can compute the total number of copy rooms (let's call them r) and the boxes of paper Reginald has to distribute among them (already named n).

From the first arrangement we can see that if reginald gives 6 boxes of paper to each room, he will still have 7 boxes. We can write this as:

n = 6 \cdot r + 7

From the second arrangement we can see that if reginald gives 7 boxes of paper to each room, he would still need 2 boxes. We can write this as:

n = 7 \cdot r - 2

From the above, we have a 2x2 system of equations, which can be solved by any method. In this case, we can use equalization to easily find the number of rooms. From the 2 relations we can write:

6 \cdot r + 7 = 7 \cdot r - 2

Puting known and unknowns on opposite sides, we get:

7+2 = (7-6) \cdot r

Solving we get:

9 = r

Therefor the total number of rooms is 9.

Pluging this solution into any of the 2 equations, we can obtain that the number of boxes of paper is 61.

Use order of operations, or PEMDAS which stands for Parenthesis, Exponent, Division, Addition, and Subtraction.

Do those operations in that order. Can you try?

What degree of rotation is represented on this matrix
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Option B is correct

the degree of rotation is, -90^{\circ}

Step-by-step explanation:

A rotation matrix is a matrix that is used to perform a rotation in Euclidean space.

To find the degree of rotation using a standard rotation matrix i.e,

R = \begin{bmatrix}\cos \theta & -\sin \theta \\ \sin \theta & \cos \theta \end{bmatrix}

Given the matrix: \begin{bmatrix}0 & 1 \\ -1 & 0\end{bmatrix}

Now, equate the given matrix with standard matrix we have;

\begin{bmatrix}\cos \theta & -\sin \theta \\ \sin \theta & \cos \theta \end{bmatrix} =  \begin{bmatrix}0 & 1 \\ -1 & 0\end{bmatrix}

On comparing we get;

\cos \theta = 0       and -\sin \theta =1  

As,we know:

  • \cos \theta = \cos(-\theta)
  • \sin(-\theta) = -\sin \theta

\cos \theta = \cos(90^{\circ}) = \cos( -90^{\circ})

we get;

\theta = -90^{\circ}

and

\sin \theta =- \sin (90^{\circ}) = \sin ( -90^{\circ})

we get;

\theta = -90^{\circ}

Therefore, the degree of rotation is, -90^{\circ}

Plz help! It is a Grade! I will do brainsiest
ikadub [295]

Answer: I can only see the big boxes so will answer them

5/6 - 1/3

Multiply the two denominators together get 18

Then multiply the bottom denominator with the opposite numerator

The sum has now changed to:

15/18 - 6/18

15 - 6 = 9

9/18 can then be simplified to 1/2
