a city police force is made up of 24% females. if there are 72 females on the force how many males are on the force

2 answers:

8 0

Let x be the total number of person in the police force
24/100 × x = 72
x = 72/0.24
Therefore x = 300

The # of males = 300 - 72 = 228

<span>Let x be the total of people on the police force 24x=72 Divide both sides by 24 x=300 since there is 300 people on the force and 72 are ladies. We subtract 300-72= 228 So there is 228 male police officers :)

Find the characteristic polynomial of A. Use x for the variable in your polynomial.You do not need to factor your polynomial. A

Vesna [10]

Answer: The required characteristic polynomial of the given matrix A is $x^3+6x+11x+6=0.$

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the characteristic polynomial of the following 3 × 3 matrix A with unknown variable x :

$A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0&0&1\\4&-3&4\\-2&0&-3\end{array}\right].$

We know that

for any square matrix M, the characteristic polynomial is given by

$|M-xI|=0,$ where I is an identity matrix of same order as M.

Therefore, the characteristic polynomial of matrix A is

$|A-xI|=0\\\\\\\Rightarrow \left|\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0&0&1\\4&-3&4\\-2&0&-3\end{array}\right]-x\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&0\\0&1&0\\0&0&1\end{array}\right]\right|=0\\\\\\\Rightarrow \left|\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-x&0&1\\4&-3-x&4\\-2&0&-3-x\end{array}\right] \right|=0\\\\\\\Rightarrow -x(3+x)^2+1(0-6-2x)=0\\\\\Rightarrow (x+3)(-3x-x^2-2)=0\\\\\Rightarrow (x+3)(x^2+3x+2)=0\\\\\Rightarrow x^3+6x+11x+6=0.$

Thus, the required characteristic polynomial of the given matrix A is $x^3+6x+11x+6=0.$

3x -4y = 13 y = -3x-7

Yuki888 [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-4y=13

y=-3x-7

3x-4(-3x-7)=13

3x+12x+28=13

15x=-15

x= -1

y= -3x-7 = 3-7= -4

( -1, -4)
