The width of rectangle is 8 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Area of rectangle = 40 units

Width = w

Length = w-3

Area = Length * Width

$40=(w-3)*w\\40=w^2-3w\\w^2-3w=40\\w^2-3w-40=0$

Factorizing the equation

$w^2-8w+5w-40=0\\w(w-8)+5(w-8)=0\\(w-8)(w+5)=0$

Either,

w-8=0 => w=8

Or,

w+5=0 =>w= -5

As width cannot be negative, therefore

Width of rectangle = 8 units

The width of rectangle is 8 units.

Samples of emissions from three suppliers are classified for conformance to air-quality specifications. The results from 100 sam

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

$P(A) = \frac{30}{100}$

$P(B) = \frac{77}{100}$

$P(A\ n\ B) = \frac{22}{100}$

$P(A\ u\ B) = \frac{85}{100}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for proper format of table

$n = 100$ --- Sample

A = Supplier 1

B = Conforms to specification

Solving (a): P(A)

Here, we only consider data in sample 1 row.

In this row:

$Yes = 22$ and $No = 8$

So, we have:

$n(A) = Yes + No$

$n(A) = 22 + 8$

$n(A) = 30$

P(A) is then calculated as:

$P(A) = \frac{n(A)}{Sample}$

$P(A) = \frac{30}{100}$

Solving (b): P(B)

Here, we only consider data in the Yes column.

In this column:

$(1) = 22$ $(2) = 25$ and $(3) = 30$

So, we have:

$n(B) = (1) + (2) + (3)$

$n(B) = 22 + 25 + 30$

$n(B) = 77$

P(B) is then calculated as:

$P(B) = \frac{n(B)}{Sample}$

$P(B) = \frac{77}{100}$

Solving (c): P(A n B)

Here, we only consider the similar cell in the yes column and sample 1 row.

This cell is: [Supplier 1][Yes]

And it is represented with; n(A n B)

So, we have:

$n(A\ n\ B) = 22$

The probability is then calculated as:

$P(A\ n\ B) = \frac{n(A\ n\ B)}{Sample}$

$P(A\ n\ B) = \frac{22}{100}$

Solving (d): P(A u B)

This is calculated as:

$P(A\ u\ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A\ n\ B)$

This gives:

$P(A\ u\ B) = \frac{30}{100} + \frac{77}{100} - \frac{22}{100}$

Take LCM

$P(A\ u\ B) = \frac{30+77-22}{100}$

$P(A\ u\ B) = \frac{85}{100}$

An upper triangular matric is square matrix with all zeros below its daignal. A lower triangular matrix is a square matrix with

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

U₂₁ and U₂₂ fits in the line of upper triangular

Step-by-step explanation:

As explain in the question

An upper triangular matric is square matrix with all zeros below its daignal. A lower triangular matrix is a square matrix with all zeros above its diagonal.

(as shown in the attached image)

(a)for all 3×3 upper triangular matirices U, verify that U2 is also upper triangular

for a matrices U (having a 3*3 matrix), assuming for example, U is given below:

U = $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&2&3\\0&5&6\\0&0&9\end{array}\right]$

the element in the upper triangular are 1,2,3,5,6,9 (U₁₁, U₁₂, U₁₃; , U₂₂, U₂₃, U₂₂)

while lower triangular are 0,0,0, the element in the lower triangular are (U₂₁, U₃₁,U₃₂)

U₂₁ and U₂₂ fits in the line of upper triangular
