Answer: Russia earned 13 gold medals, 11 silver medals and 9 bronze medals.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of gold medals that Russia earned.

Let y represent the number of silver medals that Russia earned.

Let z represent the number of bronze medals that Russia earned.

Russia earned a total of 33 medals. This means that

x + y + z = 33 - - - - - - - - - - - 1!

In the 2014 winter olympics in sochi russia earned 4 more gold medals than bronze. This means that

x = z + 4

The number of silver medals earned was 7 less than twice the number of bronze. This means that

y = 2z - 7

Substituting x = z + 4 and y = 2z - 7 into equation 1, it becomes

z + 4 + 2z - 7 + z = 33

4z - 3 = 33

4z = 33 + 3 = 36

z = 36/4 = 9

x = z + 4 = 9 + 4

x = 13

y = 2z - 7 = 2 × 9 - 7

y = 11

Joshua invested $750 in an account paying an interest rate of
Maslowich
Due to the difference in the interest rate and the quarterly compounding, Joshua will have $212.24 more than Josiah.
Step-by-step explanation:
Giving the following information:
Joshua:
Initial investment (PV)= $750
Interest rate (i)= 0.0341/4= 0.008525
Number of periods (n)= 18*4= 72 quarters
Josiah:
Initial investment (PV)= $750
Interest rate (i)= 0.0285
Number of periods (n)= 18 years
To calculate the future value of each one, we need to use the following formula:
FV= PV*(1 + i)^n
Joshua:
FV= 750*(1.008525^72)
FV= $1,381.98
Josiah:
FV= 750*(1.0285^18)
FV= $1,169.74
Due to the difference in the interest rate and the quarterly compounding, Joshua will have $212.24 more than Josiah.

HELP!<br> Which is the inverse of this matrix?
malfutka [58]

Answer:

\text{\bf{A.}}\qquad\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-19&9&-7\\15&-7&6\\-2&1&-1\end{array}\right]

Step-by-step explanation:

Many scientific and graphing calculators will compute this easily.

The inverse of a square matrix is a square matrix of the same dimensions. That eliminates choices C and D. We can check choices A and B by computing a couple of terms of the product of the given matrix and its "inverse". That product should be the identity matrix, with 1 on the diagonal and 0 elsewhere.

Using matrix A,

  (r, c) = (1, 1) = 1(-19) +2(15) +5(-2) = -19 +30 -20 = 1 . . . . correct

  (r, c) = (2,3) = 3(-7) +5(6) +9(-1) = -21 +30 =9 = 0 . . . . correct

Using matrix B,

  (r, c) = (1, 1) = 1(-19) +2(-2) +5(15) = -19 -4 +75 = 52 . . . . incorrect

Indications are that choice A is appropriate.

Two of the greatest Greek mathematics were Archimedes (287-212 B.C) and Pythagoras (569-500 BC).
dalvyx [7]
Archimedes (287-212 B.C)  -->  - 287  birth year

Pythagoras (569-500 BC) --->  - 569  birth year

569 - 287 = 282 as years apart of their birth years

evablogger [386]

Answer:

  12

Step-by-step explanation:

1/5 of 30 is 30/5 = 6

1/2 of (30 -6) = 12 . . . half of those remaining after mint icing

The other half of those remaining is also 12 cupcakes. So, 12 cupcakes will get vanilla icing.
