Because weightlessness in outer space causes astronauts to lose bone mass, at the end of each month, an astronaut has two percen

t less bone mass than at the beginning of that month. If Lori has a 6-month mission on the International Space Station, what percentage of her bone mass will remain when she returns to Earth

Answer:

There will be 88.6% of her bone mass remaining when she returns to earth.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the problem, the astronaut will have 2% less bone mass than at the beginning of that month. So let's say B_{0} is her original bone mass. In that case, her bone mass after the first month will be:

B_{1}=B_{0}(0.98)

on the second month, her bone mass will be:

B_{2}=B_{1}(0.98)=B_{0}(0.98)(0.98)=B_{0}(0.98)^{2}

on the third month, her bone mass will be:

B_{3}=B_{2}(0.98)=B_{0}(0.98)(0.98)(098)=B_{0}(0.98)^{3}

and so on, we can see a pattern here. The formula for her remaining bone mass can be generally written like this:

B_{n}=B_{0}(0.98)^{n}

where n is the number of months, so after 6 months, her remaining bone mass will be:

B_{6}=B_{0}(0.98)^{6}=0.886B_{0}

that 0.886 gives us the percentage as a decimal number. When turned into a percentage we get that:

There will be 88.6% of her bone mass remaining after 6 months.

A= [2, 3; 2, 1], B=[3; 5]. Find AB & BA if possible
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

The value of AB is \left[\begin{array}{ccc}21\\11\end{array}\right] and it's not possible to multiply BA.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided matrices.

A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&3\\2&1\end{array}\right], B=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3\\5\end{array}\right]

Two matrices can be multiplied if and only if first matrix has an order m × n and second matrix has an order n × v.

Multiply AB

Matrix A has order 2 × 2  and matrix B has order 2 × 1. So according to rule we can multiply both the matrix as shown:

AB=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&3\\2&1\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}3\\5\end{array}\right]

AB=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2\times 3+3\times 5\\2\times 3+1\times 5\end{array}\right]

AB=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}6+15\\6+5\end{array}\right]

AB=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}21\\11\end{array}\right]

Hence, the value of AB is \left[\begin{array}{ccc}21\\11\end{array}\right]

Now calculate the value of BA as shown:

Multiply BA

Matrix B has order 2 × 1  and matrix A has order 2 × 2. So according to rule we cannot multiply both the matrix.

We can multiply two matrix if first matrix has an order m × n and second matrix has an order n × v.

That means number of column of first matrix should be equal to the number of rows of second matrix.

Hence, it's not possible to multiply BA.

Why is the point (12, 780) significant on the graph of the functions representing these three salesmen? Use complete sentences t
patriot [66]

Answer:

Hope this helps 0>0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of sales each man had.

For Salesman A, he earns $65 per sale; this is 65x.

For Salesman B, he earns $40 per sale; this is 40x.  We also add to this his weekly salary of $300; this gives us 40x+300.

Since their pay was equal, set the two expressions equal:

65x = 40x+300

Subtract 40x from each side:

65x-40x = 40x+300-40x

25x = 300

Divide both sides by 25:

25x/25 = 300/25

x = 12
