Answer:

Hey there!

We have:

$x^3-64$

$x^3-4^3$

$(x-4)(x^2+4x+16)$

Let me know if this helps :)

Answer:

University of Texas has 46,500 students, University of California has 34,000 students and University of Miami has 15,500 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent Texas with T, Miami with M and California with C. With the given information, the following equations were obtained.

T = 3 × M

T – 3M = 0 ………………………….(i)

C = 3,000 + 2 × M

C – 2M = 3,000…………………..(ii)

T + C + M = 96,000…………….(iii)

By rearranging, we have:

1T + 0C – 3M = 0 ………………………….(i)

0T + 1C – 2M = 3,000…………………..(ii)

1T + 1C + 1M = 96,000………….…….(iii)

The Augmented Matrix is:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&-3\\0&1&-2\\1&1&1\end{array}\right]$ $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}T\\C\\M\end{array}\right]$ = $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0\\3,000\\96,000\end{array}\right]$

Making $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}T\\C\\M\end{array}\right]$ the subject of the formula we have:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}T\\C\\M\end{array}\right]$ = $\frac{\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0\\3,000\\96,000\end{array}\right]}{\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&-3\\0&1&-2\\1&1&1\end{array}\right]}$

Let’s say matrix A = $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&-3\\0&1&-2\\1&1&1\end{array}\right]$ , the inverse of matrix A = $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}\frac{1}{2} &-\frac{1}{2} &\frac{1}{2} \\-\frac{1}{3} &\frac{2}{3} &\frac{1}{3} \\-\frac{1}{6} &-\frac{1}{6} &\frac{1}{6} \end{array}\right]$ is determined by the formula $\frac{Adjoint(A)}{determinant(A)}$ . This can also be computed directly on a scientific calculator.

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}T\\C\\M\end{array}\right]$ = $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}\frac{1}{2} &-\frac{1}{2} &\frac{1}{2} \\-\frac{1}{3} &\frac{2}{3} &\frac{1}{3} \\-\frac{1}{6} &-\frac{1}{6} &\frac{1}{6} \end{array}\right]$ $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0\\3,000\\96,000\end{array}\right]$

= $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}46,500\\34,000\\15,500\end{array}\right]$
