Let the number be x, then 5 + 1/4 x = 2/3 x
2/3 x - 1/4 x = 5
5/12 x = 5
5x = 5(12)
x = 12

Evaluate the determination for the following matrix [144] [522] [155]

Anettt [7]

Matrix :

1    4    4

5 2    2

1    5    5

=> Determinant =

1 * (2*5 - 2*5) - 4 * (5*5 - 1*2) + 4 * ( 5*5 - 2*1)

= 1*(10 - 10) - 4*(25 - 2) + 4*(25 -2) = 1*0 + 4* 23 + 4*(25 - 2) = 0 - 4*23 + 4*23 = 0

The value of sin^2 30° - cos^2 30° is

natulia [17]

Answer:

-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Im not going to go into detail about how to compute sin30 and cos 30, but know that sine and cosine are just the ratios between the sides of a 30-60-90 triangle with a hypothenuse of 1.

With that being said:

sin^2 30 - cos^2 30

= (1/2)^2 - ((sqrt3)/2)^2

= 1/4 - 3/4

= -1/2

Use a linear approximation (or differentials) to estimate the given number. (Round your answer to five decimal places.) 3 217

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

$f(216) \approx 6.0093$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\sqrt[3]{217}$

Required

Solve

Linear approximated as:

$f(x + \triangle x) \approx f(x) +\triangle x \cdot f'(x)$

Take:

$x = 216; \triangle x= 1$

So:

$f(x) = \sqrt[3]{x}$

Substitute 216 for x

$f(x) = \sqrt[3]{216}$

$f(x) = 6$

So, we have:

$f(x + \triangle x) \approx f(x) +\triangle x \cdot f'(x)$

$f(215 + 1) \approx 6 +1 \cdot f'(x)$

$f(216) \approx 6 +1 \cdot f'(x)$

To calculate f'(x);

We have:

$f(x) = \sqrt[3]{x}$

Rewrite as:

$f(x) = x^\frac{1}{3}$

Differentiate

$f'(x) = \frac{1}{3}x^{\frac{1}{3} - 1}$

Split

$f'(x) = \frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{x^\frac{1}{3}}{x}$

$f'(x) = \frac{x^\frac{1}{3}}{3x}$

Substitute 216 for x

$f'(216) = \frac{216^\frac{1}{3}}{3*216}$

$f'(216) = \frac{6}{648}$

$f'(216) = \frac{3}{324}$

So:

$f(216) \approx 6 +1 \cdot f'(x)$

$f(216) \approx 6 +1 \cdot \frac{3}{324}$

$f(216) \approx 6 + \frac{3}{324}$

$f(216) \approx 6 + 0.0093$

$f(216) \approx 6.0093$

umka21 [38]

<span>Initial number of the people that belong to a certain social website is 412. It is growing at a rate of 5% every month. It means that every month the number of people is growing 1.05 times. We can calculate how many of them will there be in 9 months: 412 * 1.05^9 = 412 * 1.55 = 638.6. When we round to the nearest whole number: there will be 369 members.</span>
