Answer:

The equation could be

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1\\0.05&0.1\end{array}\right] \times \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}30\\2.10\end{array}\right]

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation to represent the number of coins would be

x + y = 30

The equation to represent the amount of money the coins are worth would be

0.05x + 0.10y = 2.10

This gives us the system

\left \{ {{x+y=30} \atop {0.05x+0.10y=2.10}} \right.

Using matrices, the first matrix will be the coefficient matrix.  This contains the coefficients for x and y for both equations:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1\\0.05&0.10\end{array}\right]

The second matrix will be the variable matrix, containing the variables for both equations:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\end{array}\right]

The matrix after the equals sign will be the constant matrix:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}30\\2.10\end{array}\right]

This gives us the matrix equation above.

x + y = 30


5x + 10 y = 210


As a matrix equation that's


\begin{pmatrix} 1 & 1 \\ 5 & 10 \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix}30\\ 210 \end{pmatrix}

Can someone please explain how to do this? thank you!
valkas [14]

Answer:

I belive the answer would be 452.16

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the volume of a cylinder is v=\pi r^2h

h = height

r = radius

The radius for this is 4 and the height is 9

instert your number into your equation v=\pi (4)^2(9)

and from there i would just put it into a calculator and you get 144\pi or 452.3893-

Answer:

  A.  57 7/9 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a rectangular prism (cuboid) is the product of its dimensions.

  V = LWH

  V = (4 1/3 ft)(3 1/3 ft)(4 ft)

If you drop the fractions, this becomes ...

  V = (4 ft)(3 ft)(4 ft) = 48 ft³

You know the fractions add some amount to this, so you know the volume will be somewhat larger than 48 ft³. The only reasonable choice is A: 57 7/9 ft³.

__

If you feel the need to compute the volume exactly, you can do so using improper fractions.

  V = (13/3 ft)(10/3 ft)(4 ft) = 520/9 ft³ = 57 7/9 ft³

suppose that the lifetime of a transistor is a gamma random variable x with mean of 24 weeks and standard deviation of 12 weeks.
emmainna [20.7K]

The probability that the transistor will last between 12 and 24 weeks is 0.424

X= lifetime of the transistor in weeks E(X)= 24 weeks

O,= 12 weeks

The anticipated value, variance, and distribution of the random variable X were all provided to us. Finding the parameters alpha and beta is necessary before we can discover the solutions to the difficulties.

X~gamma(\alpha ,\beta)

E(X)= \alpha \beta                 \beta= 12^{2}/24=6 weeks

V(x)= \alpha \beta ^{2}                \alpha=24/6= 4

Now we can find the solutions:

The excel formula used to create Figure one is as follows:

=gammadist(X, \alpha, \beta, False)

P(12\leq X\leq 24)

P(12/6\leq G\leq 24/6)

P(2\leq G\leq 4)

P= 0.424

Therefore, probability that the transistor will last between 12 and 24 weeks is 0.424

(−7c+8d)0.6 distributive property
Ksivusya [100]

We are given

(-7c+8d)0.6

we can use distribute property

Distributive property:

(A+B)C=A*C+B*C

so, we can write it as

(-7c+8d)0.6=-7c*0.6+8d*0.6

(-7c+8d)0.6=-7*0.6c+8*0.6d

now, we can multiply terms

and we get

(-7c+8d)0.6=-4.2c+4.8d..............Answer
