I will try my best...


Let x and y be the two numbers.  


x = y - 4  


2y = 5x - 10  


Now, we solve the system of equations:  


2y = 5(y - 4) - 10  


2y = 5y - 20 - 10  


-3y = -30  



So...


y = 10  


x = 10 - 4 = 6

Let x and y be the two numbers.  

x = y - 4  

2y = 5x - 10  

solve the system of equations:  

2y = 5(y - 4) - 10  

2y = 5y - 20 - 10  

-3y = -30  

y = 10  

x = 10 - 4 = 6

A cell phone package charges $39 even if 0 minutes are used during the month. Each additional minute of talk time adds $0.07.
Orlov [11]

Answer: the slope intercept form for this situation is y = 0.07x + 39

Step-by-step explanation:

The cell phone package charges $39 even if 0 minutes are used during the month. This means that the package has a constant charge of $39.

Each additional minute of talk time adds $0.07. Assuming x additional minutes of talk time is made, the total cost of x additional minutes of talk time would be

0.07x + 39

Let y represent the total cost of x additional minutes, then

y = 0.07x + 39

The equation for the slope intercept form is expressed as

y = mx + c

Where

m = slope

c = intercept.

Comparing with our equation,

The slope is 0.07 and the intercept is 39

Find a basis for the column space and rank of the matrix ((-2,-2,-4,1),(7,-3,14,-6),(2,-2,4,-2)(2,-6,4,-3))
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:  

  • B=\{\left[\begin{array}{c}-2\\-2\\-4\\1\end{array}\right], \left[\begin{array}{c}7\\-3\\14&-6\end{array}\right], \left[\begin{array}{c}2\\-2\\4\\-2\end{array}\right]  \}[/tex]  is a basis for the column space of A.  
  • The rank of A is 3.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember, the column space of A is the generating subspace by the columns of A and if R is a echelon form of the matrix A then the column vectors of A, corresponding to the columns of R with pivots, form a basis for the space column. The rank of the matrix is the number of pivots in one of its echelon forms.

 Let  A=\left[\begin{array}{cccc}-2&7&2&2\\-2&-3&-2&-6\\-4&14&4&4\\1&-6&-2&-3\end{array}\right]  the matrix of the problem.  

Using row operations we obtain a echelon form of the matrix A, that is

R=\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&-6&-2&-3\\0&9&2&0\\0&0&-8&-21\\0&0&0&0\end{array}\right]

Since columns 1,2 and 3 of R have pivots, then a basis for the column space of A is

B=\{\left[\begin{array}{c}-2\\-2\\-4\\1\end{array}\right], \left[\begin{array}{c}7\\-3\\14&-6\end{array}\right], \left[\begin{array}{c}2\\-2\\4\\-2\end{array}\right] \}.  

And the rank of A is 3 because are three pivots in R.

For a treasure hunt game 300 balls are hidden.of 30% of the balls that are hidden 40% of them are yellow and the rest are white.
dexar [7]

Answer:

Sally's team found 50 balls

Step-by-step explanation:

300 balls are hidden.

300x30%x40%

=36 balls are yellow

Sally's team finds 20% of 36 and 80% of the white balls (300x30%-36).

20%x36+80%x(300x30%-36)

=7 (approximately or else they would've found 7.2 yellow balls) +80%x(90-36)

=7+43 (approximately)

=50
