You can read fractions as one number divided by another. So 1/6 is equivalent to 1 divided by 6. It is then selfevident that the larger the denominator the smaller the number. If you have one cake and divide it between 3, 6 or eight people, three people will get a larger slice than 6 people sharing the same cake. And 6 people will get a larger slice than 8 people dividing the same cake.

Q. If A is a square matrix such that A² = A, then write the value of 7 A −(I + A)³, where I is an identity matrix.​
andriy [413]

Answer:

7A−(I + A)³

=7A−(1³ + A³ +3.I.A² +3.1².A)

=7A−(I+ A².A+3A² +34)

= 7A-(I+A.A+3A+34) (*: A² = A)

=7A-(I+ A² +6A)

= 7A-(I+A+64)

=7A-(1+7A)

=7A-I-7A

A basketball is thrown with an initial upward velocity of 30 feet per second from a height of 6 feet above the ground. The equat
Elena L [17]
For this case we have the following equation:
 h = -16t ^ (2) + 30t + 6
 We substitute the value of h = 10 in the equation:
 10 = -16t ^ (2) + 30t + 6
 Rewriting we have:
 0 = -16t ^ (2) + 30t + 6-10
 0 = - 16t ^ (2) + 30t - 4
 We look for the roots of the polynomial:
 t1 = 0.144463904
 t2 = 1.730536096
 "the ball passes its maximum height, it comes down and then goes into the hoop". Therefore, the correct root is:
 t = 1.730536096
 Answer:
 
It goes into the hoop after:
 t = 1.73 seconds

Stocks have a higher rate of return than either U.S. treasury bills or bonds.

Note: Small company stocks generally have a higher rate of return than large company stocks. Small company stocks are a riskier investment because they are more volatile. Stock investments in general are riskier investments than treasury bills or bonds. In general, the possible rate of return increases as the risk of the investment increases.
