Answer:
(b)
Step-by-step explanation:
A suitable calculator or spreadsheet can find the matrix product for you. Here, the answer choices differ in their upper left term, so we can determine the correct choice by finding the value of that term. It is the dot product of the first row of B and the first column of A.
(5)(3) +(7)(3) +(3)(2) = 15 +21 +6 = 42
This matches choice B.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We'll take this step by step. The equation is
Looks like a hard mess to solve but it's actually quite simple, just do one thing at a time. First thing is to subtract 8 from both sides:
The goal is to isolate the term with the x in it, so that means that the -3 has to go. Divide it away on both sides:
Let's rewrite that radical into exponential form:
If we are going to solve for x, we need to multiply both sides by the reciprocal of the power:
On the left, multiplying the rational exponent by its reciprocal gets rid of the power completely. On the right, let's rewrite that back in radical form to solve it easier:
Let's group that radicad into groups of 3's now to make the simplifying easier:
because the cubed root of 5 cubed is just 5, so we can pull it out, leaving us with:
which is the same as:
