Answer:
Divide both the numerator and denominator by the largest number that divides evenly into both to simplify the fraction
In the example, divide 2 by 2, which equals 1, and divide 20 by 2, which equals 10. This leaves 1/10, which is the simplified form of the fraction with a decimal.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
(x, y, z) = (-4, 2, 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
See the attachment for the output of a calculator that produces the reduced row-echelon form of the matrix.
The [x, y, z] result vector is the column on the right.
(x, y, z) = (-4, 2, 1)
_____
Numerous web sites are available for computing the row-reduced form of the matrix, or for solving the system of equations. Your graphing calculator will do it as well.
You could cross cancel the a and your final answer would be 5/11
Let's define variables:
s = original speed
s + 12 = faster speed
The time for the half of the route is:
60 / s
The time for the second half of the route is:
60 / (s + 12)
The equation for the time of the trip is:
60 / s + 60 / (s + 12) + 1/6 = 120 / s
Where,
1/6: held up for 10 minutes (in hours).
Rewriting the equation we have:
6s (60) + s (s + 12) = 60 * 6 (s + 12)
360s + s ^ 2 + 12s = 360s + 4320
s ^ 2 + 12s = 4320
s ^ 2 + 12s - 4320 = 0
We factor the equation:
(s + 72) (s-60) = 0
We take the positive root so that the problem makes physical sense.
s = 60 Km / h
Answer:
The original speed of the train before it was held up is:
s = 60 Km / h
