All the components in the state vector need to sum to 1. You're given that component corresponding to state 1 is 0.2, and that the component for state 3 is 0.
That leaves states 2 and 4, for which you're told that the component for state 2 is four times as large. If
is the component for state
, then you have
which means
. So the state vector is
.
Same is the answerso it means equal to
Answer: 150 boys
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of boys be x
Since there were 200 more girls than boys, the number of girls will be: = x + 200
Since the ratio of boys to girls was 3:7, this can be solved further below:
3/7 = x/x+200
Cross multiply
(7 × x) = 3(x + 200)
7x = 3x + 600
7x - 3x = 600
4x = 600
x = 600/4
x = 150
The number of boys enrolled is 150
Number of Girls will be:
= X + 200
= 150 + 200
= 350
Check: Number of boys / Number of girls
= 150/350
= 3/7
= 3:7
Todd needs to save $90.75 per month to reach his goal
Remember: PEMDAS - Parentheses, exponents, multiply/divide, add/subtract
Distribute: 9(1+x) = 9+9x
19 - 5x = 9 + 9x
Add 5x to both sides of the equation and subtract 9 from both sides.
19 - 5x + (5x) = 9 + 9x + (5x)
19 - (9) = 9 - (9) + 14x
10 = 14x
Divide both sides by 14 to get the variable on its own.
10/14 = 14x/14
10/14=x
5/7 = x
