Given:

The equation is

(x-2)=-(x-2)

Isabel says that the given equation has no  solution because a number can never be equal to its opposite.

To find:

Isabel's mistake.

Solution:

Her reason "a number can never be equal to its opposite" is not correct.

Zero is a number that can be equal to its opposite.

So, the given equation has solution for which LHS=RHS=0.

We have,

(x-2)=-(x-2)

x-2=-(x)-(-2)

x-2=-x+2

Add x and 2 on both sides.

x-2+x+2=-x+2+x+2

2x=4

Divide both sides by 2.

x=\dfrac{4}{2}

x=2

So, the given equation has a solution x=2.

The product of the lengths of the parts of the chord is equal to the product of the lengths of the parts of the chord that divides it.

(7 cm)*(8 cm) = n*(4 cm)
(7*8 cm²)/(4 cm) = n
14 cm = n

n=\boxed{14}cm

The matrix equation that represents this situation is

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&2&0\\1&0&4\\3&1&1\end{array}\right]*\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}13.50\\16.50\\14.00\end{array}\right]

Use technology to find the inverse of matrix A:

A^{-1}=  \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-\frac{2}{5}&-\frac{1}{5}&\frac{4}{5}\\
\frac{11}{10}&\frac{3}{10}&-\frac{6}{5}\\\frac{1}{10}&\frac{3}{10}&-\frac{1}{5}\end{array}\right]

Multiplying A inverse by B, we get the solution matrix

A milk bottle has radius 7cm and milk is filled upto a height
stich3 [128]

radius of bottle is 7 cm. height is 28 cm

so total milk in bottle is equal to total volum of bottle.

so volume of cylinder is = pi × r^2 × h

V = (22/7 )× 7×7×28 = 22×7×28

= 4312 cm^3

so volume of the milk before used to make tea is 4312 cm^3

now milk taken to make tea make height reduced to 20 cm.

so volume of the left milk in bottole is

= (22/7) × 7×7×20 = 22×7×20

= 3080 cm^3

so milk used for making tea = total milk before making the tea - total milk left in bottle after making the tea

= 4312 - 3080 = 1232 cm ^3

so volume of milk used
