Complete question is;

Suppose Ax = b has a solution. Explain why the solution is unique precisely when Ax = 0 has only the trivial solution. Choose the correct answer.

A. Since Ax = b is inconsistent, its solution set is obtained by translating the solution set of Ax = 0. For Ax = b to be inconsistent, Ax = 0 has only the trivial solution.

B. Since Ax = b is consistent, its solution set is obtained by translating the solution set of Ax = 0. So the solution set of Ax = b is a single vector if and only if the solution set of Ax = 0 is a single vector, and that happens if and only if Ax = 0 has only the trivial solution.

C. Since Ax = b is inconsistent, then the solution set of Ax = 0 is also inconsistent. The solution set of Ax = 0 is inconsistent if and only if Ax = 0 has only the trivial solution.

D. Since Ax = b is consistent, then the solution is unique if and only if there is at least one free variable in the corresponding system of equations. This happens if and only if the equation Ax = 0 has only the trivial solution.

Answer:

Option B: Since Ax = b is consistent, its solution set is obtained by translating the solution set of Ax = 0. So the solution set of Ax = b is a single vector if and only if the solution set of Ax = 0 is a single vector, and that happens if and only if Ax = 0 has only the trivial solution

Step-by-step explanation:

There are different ways of explaining this but we will explain it algebraic ally.

If Ax = b has a solution, then it can be said to be unique if and only if every column of A will be a pivot column. Now, If every column of A will be a pivot column, then it means that there are no free variables, and thus the homogeneous equation will have only the trivial solution.

Also homogeneous equations are always constant.

Thus the correct option is Option B: Since Ax = b is consistent, its solution set is obtained by translating the solution set of Ax = 0. So the solution set of Ax = b is a single vector if and only if the solution set of Ax = 0 is a single vector, and that happens if and only if Ax = 0 has only the trivial solution

Lauren will make annual contributions in the amount of $4,770, on average, to a 401(k) over the next 34 years. Her employer will
fredd [130]

Answer:

  $610,297.11

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem seems to make several assumptions:

  • contributions are made at the end of each year
  • contributions and employer matching funds are not taxed until retirement
  • the 15% tax rate applies to the account balance amount at retirement

Of these, the last is least likely to be true in the United States.

___

Based on the assumptions above, we compute the amount from the future value of the series of contributions, then subtract 15% from that result.

  FV = P·((1 +r)^n -1)/r . . . . where P is the amount of each payment, r is the annual interest rate, n is the number of payments.

The amount deposited each year is ...

  $4770 + 0.60·4770 = $7630

Then the future value after 34 deposits is ...

  FV = 7630·(1.055^34 -1)/0.055 ≈ 717,996.60

When this amount is reduced by the assumed 15% tax rate, it becomes ...

  $717,996.60 - 0.15·717,996.60 = $610,297.11

1) c= 3.5cm × 22/7

c= 77cm/7 = 11cm

2) c= 2×3.14×5cm

= 6.28× 5cm

=31.4cm

3) L=180/360 × 22/7 × 3cm

= 1/2 × 22/7 ×3cm

=4.71 cm

4) c=12cm ×3.14

=37.68cm

5) c = 4.5cm × 3.14

=14.13cm

6) c = 6.7cm × 3.14

= 21.038cm
