Morgan knows that 3 gallons of water weigh 25 pounds. How much do 10 gallons of water weigh?

olga_2 [115]

The full answer would be 83.454 but you can just say 83 pounds. Both are right

Consider the transpose of Your matrix A, that is, the matrix whose first column is the first row of A, the second column is the

Zarrin [17]

Answer:The system could have no solution or n number of solution where n is the number of unknown in the n linear equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if solution exist or not, you test the equation for consistency.

A system is said to be consistent if the rank of a matrix (say B ) is equal to the rank of the matrix formed by adding the constant terms(in this case the zeros) as a third column to the matrix B.

Consider the following scenarios:

(1) For example:Given the matrix A= $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&2\\3&4\end{array}\right]$ , to transpose A, exchange rows with columns i.e take first column as first row and second column as second row as follows:

Let A transpose be B.

∵B= $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&3\\2&4\end{array}\right]$

the system Bx=0 can be represented in matrix form as:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&3\\2&4\end{array}\right]$ $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x_{1} \\x_{2} \end{array}\right]$ = $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0\\0\end{array}\right]$ ................................eq(1)

Now, to determine the rank of B, we work the determinant of the maximum sub-square matrix of B. In this case, B is a 2 x 2 matrix, therefore, the maximum sub-square matrix of B is itself B. Hence,

|B|=(1*4)-(3*2)= 4-6 = -2 i.e, B is a non-singular matrix with rank of order (-2).

Again, adding the constant terms of equation 1(in this case zeros) as a third column to B, we have $B_{0}$ :

$B_{0}$ = $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&3&0\\4&2&0\end{array}\right]$ . The rank of $B_{0}$ can be found by using the second column and third column pair as follows:

| $B_{0}$ |=(3*0)-(0*2)=0 i.e, $B_{0}$ is a singular matrix with rank of order 1.

Note: a matrix is singular if its determinant is = 0 and non-singular if it is $\neq$ 0.

Comparing the rank of both B and $B_{0}$ , it is obvious that

Rank of B $\neq$ Rank of $B_{0}$ since (-2)<1.

Therefore, we can conclude that equation(1) is inconsistent and thus has no solution.

(2) If B= $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-4&5\\-8&10&\end{array}\right]$ is the transpose of matrix A= $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-4&-8\\5&10\end{array}\right]$ , then

Then the equation Bx=0 is represented as:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-4&5\\-8&10&\end{array}\right]$ $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x_{1} \\x_{2} \end{array}\right]$ = $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0\\0\end{array}\right]$ ..................................eq(2)

|B|= (-4*10)-(5*(-8))= -40+40 = 0 i.e B has a rank of order 1.

$B_{0}$ = $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-4&5&0\\-8&10&0\end{array}\right]$ ,

| $B_{0}$ |=(5*0)-(0*10)=0-0=0 i.e $B_{0}$ has a rank of order 1.

we can therefor conclude that since

rank B=rank $B_{0}$ =1, equation(2) is consistent and has 2 solutions for the 2 unknown ( $X_{1}$ and $X_{2}$ ).

Summary:

Given an equation Bx=0, transform the set of linear equations into matrix form as shown in equations(1 and 2).
Determine the rank of both the coefficients matrix B and $B_{0}$ which is formed by adding a column with the constant elements of the equation to the coefficient matrix.
If the rank of both matrix is same, then the equation is consistent and there exists n number of solutions(n is based on the number of unknown) but if they are not equal, then the equation is not consistent and there is no number of solution.

A. 15 B. 10 C. 3/8 D. 1/8

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

the theoretical probability is a fancy term for an even amount of both, which would be 20 flips landing on H, and 20 landing on T. Since the question is asking what's the difference between the theoretical probability and the experimental results, you'd take 20(theoretical number of flips that land on H) and subtract 15 (experiment results for the amount of flips that land on H), and 20 - 15 = 5. Now that you know the difference is 5, you would divide 5 by 40 to find the answer. 5/40 = 1/8 when you simplify, making the answer D.

Easy! Just multiply 7 1/3 by 8 which leaves you with 58 2/3. Now, that 1/4 is 1/4 of an hour. If you can fill 7 1/3 boxes in 1 hour, how many can you fill in 1/4? 7 1/3 divided by 1/4 is 29 1/3. Add them together. 81 boxes.
