Answer:

16.28 mph ; 79.38°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Speed of child due east = 3mph

Speed of ship due North = 16mph

Relative speed of th child is obtained by using Pythagoras rule to find the hypotenus

Relative Speed = Sqrt(3² + 16²)

Relative Speed = sqrt(9 + 256)

= sqrt(265)

= 16.2788 mph

= 16.28 mph

From trigonometry ;

Tanθ = opposite / Adjacent

Tanθ = (16 / 3)

Tanθ = 5.333

θ = tan^-1(5.333)

θ = 79.379°

θ = 79.38°

Rate of burn(scented):1/8inch in 1/4h
=4(1/8)inch in 1h=1/2inch in 1h

Rate of burn(unscented):1/9inch in 1/3h=3(1/9)inch in 1h=1/3inch in 1h

The scented candle burns more in one hour.

1/2inch-1/3inch=1/6inch

The scented candle burns 1/6inch more per hour

Line h is represented by the following equation 2x+2y=8

finlep [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To have infinitely many solutions, the lines must be identical consisting of exactly the same points to make it. This means when in simplest form their equations are the same as well.

Simplify 2x+2y=8 by dividing by 2 throughout the entire equation. It becomes x+y = 4. This equation matches B.

Answer:

We have the equation

$c_1\left[\begin{array}{c}0\\0\\0\\1\end{array}\right] +c_2\left[\begin{array}{c}0\\0\\3\\1\end{array}\right] +c_3\left[\begin{array}{c}0\\4\\3\\1\end{array}\right] +c_4\left[\begin{array}{c}8\\4\\3\\1\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{c}0\\0\\0\\0\end{array}\right]$

Then, the augmented matrix of the system is

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc}0&0&0&8\\0&0&4&4\\0&3&3&3\\1&1&1&1\end{array}\right]$

We exchange rows 1 and 4 and rows 2 and 3 and obtain the matrix:

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&1&1&1\\0&3&3&3\\0&0&4&4\\0&0&0&8\end{array}\right]$

This matrix is in echelon form. Then, now we apply backward substitution:

$8c_4=0\\c_4=0$

$4c_3+4c_4=0\\4c_3+4*0=0\\c_3=0$

$3c_2+3c_3+3c_4=0\\3c_2+3*0+3*0=0\\c_2=0$

$c_1+c_2+c_3+c_4=0\\c_1+0+0+0=0\\c_1=0$

Then the system has unique solution that is $(c_1,c_2c_3,c_4)=(0,0,0,0)$ and this imply that the vectors $v_1,v_2,v_3,v_4$ are linear independent.

How to find the common denominator of two numbers?

Snowcat [4.5K]

Find the number that both can be divided by i.e. the common denominator of 56/8 is 8 because 56 is divisible by 8 and 8 is also divisible by 8.
so by finding the common denominator and dividing the fraction, the equation would look like this: 7/1
