Drag each set of column entries to the correct location in the matrix equation. Not all sets of entries will be used. A biker ne

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]

How many solutions does the equation have? a+5=1/5(5a+25)
Iteru [2.4K]
A + 5 = \frac{1}{5} (5a + 25)

First, simplify \frac{1}{5} (5a + 25) to \frac{5a+25}{5} / Your problem should look like: a + 5 =  \frac{5a+25}{5}
Second, multiply both sides by 5. / Your problem should look like: 5a + 25 = 5(a + 5)
Third, expand to get rid of parenthesis. / Your problem should look like: 5a + 25 = 5a + 25
Fourth, both sides are equal, resulting it having infinite solutions.

Answer: infinite solutions

Alice, Benjamin, and Carol each try independently to win a carnival game. If their individual probabilities for success are 1/5,
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

E. 7/40

Step-by-step explanation:

The following probabilities are given:

P (Alice Wins) = 1/5

P (Benj. Wins) = 3/8

P (Carol Wins) = 2/7

We can deduce the probabilities for losses:

P (Alice Loses) = 1 - P (Alice Wins) = 1 - 1/5 =4/5

P (Benj. Loses) = 1 - P (Benj. Wins) = 1 - 3/8 = 5/8

P (Carol Loses) = 1 - P (Carol Wins) = 1 - 2/7 =5/7

The possible outcomes that two players win and one player loses are as follows:

Alice Wins, Benj Wins, Carol Loses

Alice Loses, Benj Wins, Carol Wins

Alice Wins, Benj Loses, Carol Wins

We can compute the probabilities of each of the 3 outcomes above:

P(Alice Wins, Benj Wins, Carol Loses) = (1/5) x (3/8) x (5/7) = 3/56

Alice Loses, Benj Wins, Carol Wins = (4/5) x (3/8) x (2/7) = 3/35

Alice Wins, Benj Loses, Carol Wins = (1/5) x (5/8) x (2/7) =  2/56

P ( 2 wins and 1 loss)

= 3/56 + 3/35 + 2/56

= 343 / 1960

= 7/40

I need to find the formula for these shaded squares
vaieri [72.5K]

For the given sequence we have the formula:

Sₙ = 1 + (n - 1)*2

The 50th square will have 99 shaded squares.

<h3 /><h3>How many shaded squares are on the n-th square?</h3>

Here we have a sequence:

The first square has 1 shaded squares.

the second square has 3 shaded squares.

The third square has 5 shaded squares.

And so on.

Already you can see a pattern here, each next step we add 2 shaded squares, then we can write the formula:

Sₙ = 1 + (n - 1)*2

Where S is the number of shaded squares and n is the number of the figure.

Then the 50th square will have:

S₅₀ = 1+ (50 - 1)*2  1 + 49*2 = 99
