eds to pass two checkpoints before completing a race. The total distance for the race is 120 miles. The distance from the starting point to checkpoint 1 is 35 miles more than half the distance from checkpoint 1 to checkpoint 2. The distance from checkpoint 2 to the finish line is 20 miles less than twice the distance from checkpoint 1 to checkpoint 2. Let x represent the distance from the starting point to checkpoint 1, y represent the distance from checkpoint 1 to checkpoint 2, and z represent the distance from checkpoint 2 to the finish line. Complete the matrix equation that models this situation, A-1B = X.

Answer:

The matrix equation is $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1\\1&-1/2&0\\0&2&-1\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{c}120&35&20\end{array}\right]$

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets change the story problem to equations

- The distance between the starting point and checkpoint 1 is x

- The distance between checkpoint 1 to checkpoint 2 is y

- The distance between checkpoint and the finish line is z

- The total distance for the race is 120 miles

∴ x + y + z = 120 ⇒ (1)

-The distance from the starting point to checkpoint 1 is 35 miles

more than half the distance from checkpoint 1 to checkpoint 2

∵ The distance from the starting point to checkpoint 1 is x

∵ The distance from checkpoint 1 to checkpoint 2 is y

- x is more than half y by 35

∴ x = 35 + (1/2) y ⇒ subtract (1/2) y from both sides

∴ x - (1/2) y = 35 ⇒ (2)

- The distance from checkpoint 2 to the finish line is 20 miles less

than twice the distance from checkpoint 1 to checkpoint 2

∵ The distance from checkpoint 2 to the finish line is z

∵ the distance from checkpoint 1 to checkpoint 2 is y

- z is less than twice y by 20

∴ z = 2y - 20 ⇒ add 20 to both sides

∴ z + 20 = 2y ⇒ subtract z from both sides

∴ 2y - z = 20 ⇒ (3)

* Now lets write the three equations

# x + y + z = 120 ⇒ (1)

# x - (1/2) y = 35 ⇒ (2)

# 2y - z = 20 ⇒ (3)

- Now lets write the matrix equation that models this situation

∴ $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1\\1&-1/2&0\\0&2&-1\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{c}120&35&20\end{array}\right]$

Analysis of an accident scene indicates a car was traveling at a velocity of 69.5 mph (31.1 m/s) along the positive x-axis at th

STatiana [176]

We can find the acceleration via

${v_f}^2-{v_i}^2=2a\Delta x$

We have

$\left(5.20\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2-\left(31.1\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2=2a(115\,\mathrm m)$

$\implies\boxed{a=-4.09\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}}$

Then by definition of average acceleration,

$a_{\rm ave}=\dfrac{v_f-v_i}t$

so that

$-4.09\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}=\dfrac{5.20\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}-31.1\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}}t$

$\implies\boxed{t=6.33\,\mathrm s}$

We alternatively could have found the time without knowing the acceleration. Since acceleration is constant, the average velocity is

$v_{\rm ave}=\dfrac{x_f-x_i}t=\dfrac{v_f+v_i}2$

Then

$\dfrac{115\,\rm m}t=\dfrac{5.20\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}+31.1\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}}2$

$\implies\boxed{t=6.33\,\mathrm s}$

Suppose sarah is trying to design a metal box (a rectangular prism), which will hold 450 cubic centimeters of liquid. the length

schepotkina [342]

<span>So, the volume of a container can also be thought of as the amount of liquid that the container is capable of holding. It follows that 450=(length)(width)(height). The constraints of the problem say that the length of the box must be twice as large as the width, so it follows that j(height)=(2w)(w)(height)-450. This then implies that j(height)=(2w^2)(height)-450. In simpler terms, the height is defined as 450/(2w^2), or j(w)=450/(2w^2).</span>
