The answer is C. 2 hours and 15 minutes. Please refer to the attached document to see the image for better understanding of solution.

Philadelphia = Point A
Pittsburgh = Point B
X = distance traveled by Michelle
(305-X) = distance traveled by Rich

The general formula used is:

distance = velocity(time)
s = v(t)

Assigning values gives 2 equations:

For Michelle: X = 65(t)
For Rich: (305-X) = 70(t)

Substituting both equations gives:

X = 146.852 miles
t = 2.26 hours or approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes

What is the multiplicative rate of change for the exponential function graphed to the left?
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

The multiplicative rate of change is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The given graph passes through the points:

(-2,\frac{2}{9}),(-1,\frac{2}{3}),(0,2),(1,6),(2,18),(3,54)

The multiplicative rate of change is the factor that multiplies each y-value to give the subsequent y-values.

We can find that factor by dividing a y-value by the previous y-value of any two consecutive y-value.

The multiplicative rate of change is \frac{6}{2}=3 or \frac{18}{6}=3 or \frac{54}{18}=3  or \frac{2}{\frac{2}{3} } =3.

Solve for XX. Assume XX is a 2×22×2 matrix and II denotes the 2×22×2 identity matrix. Do not use decimal numbers in your answer.
sveticcg [70]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows:

Solve for X. Assume X is a 2x2 matrix and I denotes the 2x2 identity matrix. Do not use decimal numbers in your answer. If there are fractions, leave them unevaluated.

\left[\begin{array}{cc}2&8\\-6&-9\end{array}\right]· X·\left[\begin{array}{ccc}9&-3\\7&-6\end{array}\right] =<em>I</em>.

First, we have to identify the matrix <em>I. </em>As it was said, the matrix is the identiy matrix, which means

<em>I</em> = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0\\0&1\end{array}\right]

So, \left[\begin{array}{cc}2&8\\-6&-9\end{array}\right]· X·\left[\begin{array}{ccc}9&-3\\7&-6\end{array}\right] =  \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0\\0&1\end{array}\right]

Isolating the X, we have

X·\left[\begin{array}{ccc}9&-3\\7&-6\end{array}\right]= \left[\begin{array}{cc}2&8\\-6&-9\end{array}\right] -  \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0\\0&1\end{array}\right]

Resolving:

X·\left[\begin{array}{ccc}9&-3\\7&-6\end{array}\right]= \left[\begin{array}{ccc}2-1&8-0\\-6-0&-9-1\end{array}\right]

X·\left[\begin{array}{ccc}9&-3\\7&-6\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&8\\-6&-10\end{array}\right]

Now, we have a problem similar to A.X=B. To solve it and because we don't divide matrices, we do X=A⁻¹·B. In this case,

X=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}9&-3\\7&-6\end{array}\right]⁻¹·\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&8\\-6&-10\end{array}\right]

Now, a matrix with index -1 is called Inverse Matrix and is calculated as: A . A⁻¹ = I.

So,

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}9&-3\\7&-6\end{array}\right]·\left[\begin{array}{ccc}a&b\\c&d\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0\\0&1\end{array}\right]

9a - 3b = 1

7a - 6b = 0

9c - 3d = 0

7c - 6d = 1

Resolving these equations, we have a=\frac{2}{11}; b=\frac{7}{33}; c=\frac{-1}{11} and d=\frac{-3}{11}. Substituting:

X= \left[\begin{array}{ccc}\frac{2}{11} &\frac{-1}{11} \\\frac{7}{33}&\frac{-3}{11}  \end{array}\right]·\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&8\\-6&-10\end{array}\right]

Multiplying the matrices, we have

X=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}\frac{8}{11} &\frac{26}{11} \\\frac{39}{11}&\frac{198}{11}  \end{array}\right]

3125x=−62 value of x.
Papessa [141]

Answer:

x= -0.01984

Step-by-step explanation:

You divide both sides by 3125 to get x alone.

You get x=-0.01984
