7ft = 84in   84  ÷  15 =  5.6 pieces he can cut from each board.  Since .6 is not a whole piece measuring 15 inches long, he can only cut 5 pieces from each board.

So, 5 x 2 = 10

He would be able to cut 10 pieces measuring 15 inches long.

Hope this helps :)

It will be double whatever he can cut from one board, not what he can cut from both boards treated as a single 14ft board.
He wants 15 inch pieces.
Each board in 7 x 12 = 84 inches.
How many 15 inches from 84? 84 / 15 = 5.6. So that is 5 because we have to round down.
Since he has two boards the total number is 5 x 2 = 10.

Given vectors u = (−1, 2, 3) and v = (3, 4, 2) in R 3 , consider the linear span: Span{u, v} := {αu + βv: α, β ∈ R}. Are the vec
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

(2,6,6) \not \in \text{Span}(u,v)

(-9,-2,5)\in \text{Span}(u,v)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b=(b_1,b_2,b_3) \in \mathbb{R}^3. We have that b\in \text{Span}\{u,v\} if and only if we can find scalars \alpha,\beta \in \mathbb{R} such that \alpha u + \beta v = b. This can be translated to the following equations:

1. -\alpha + 3 \beta = b_1

2.2\alpha+4 \beta = b_2

3. 3 \alpha +2 \beta = b_3

Which is a system of 3 equations a 2 variables. We can take two of this equations, find the solutions for \alpha,\beta and check if the third equationd is fulfilled.

Case (2,6,6)

Using equations 1 and 2 we get

-\alpha + 3 \beta = 2

2\alpha+4 \beta = 6

whose unique solutions are \alpha =1 = \beta, but note that for this values, the third equation doesn't hold (3+2 = 5 \neq 6). So this vector is not in the generated space of u and v.

Case (-9,-2,5)

Using equations 1 and 2 we get

-\alpha + 3 \beta = -9

2\alpha+4 \beta = -2

whose unique solutions are \alpha=3, \beta=-2. Note that in this case, the third equation holds, since 3(3)+2(-2)=5. So this vector is in the generated space of u and v.

RESOLVER LOS SIGUIENTES SISTEMAS DE ECUACIONES APLICANDO EL METODO DE SUSTITUCION
kiruha [24]

Answer:

x = 1/2; y = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 3y = 2     Eq. 1

-6x + 12y = 1     Eq. 2

Eq. 1

2x + 3y = 2

2x = -3y + 2

x = -3/2 y + 1

Eq. 2

-6x + 12y = 1

De Eq. 1 sabemos que x = -3/2 y + 1

-6x + 12y = 1

-6(-3/2 y + 1) + 12y = 1

9y - 6 + 12y = 1

21y - 6 = 1

21y = 7

y = 7/21

y = 1/3

Eq. 1

2x + 3y = 2

2x + 3(1/3) = 2

2x + 1 = 2

2x = 1

x = 1/2

Respuesta: x = 1/2; y = 1/3
