Answer:

The matrix does not have an inverse.

Step-by-step explanation:

A=\begin{bmatrix}3a & 2a-6\\ 6a & 4a-12\end{bmatrix}

det\ A=3a(4a-12)-6a(2a-6)\\\Rightarrow det\ A=12a^2-36a-(12a^2-36a)\\\Rightarrow det\ A=12a^2-36a-12a^2+36a\\\Rightarrow det\ A=0

Since the determinant of the matrix is zero it is called a singular matrix.

Singular matrices do not have an inverse.

Hence, the matrix does not have an inverse.

Yvonne bought a car for $10,300. After 3 years, the value of the car was $6,250. The value of this car decreases exponentially o
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

A = $44,778.84

A = P + I where

P (principal) = $10,300.00

I (interest) = $34,478.84 or 12 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Yvonne bought a car for $10,300. After 3 years, the value of the car was $6,250. 50%

To find: In approximately what number of additional months will the value of Yvonne’s car be 50% of the price she originally paid?

Formula: (\frac{interest rate}{number of payments}) × loan principal = interest

Solution:  Divide your interest rate by the number of payments you’ll make in the year (interest rates are expressed annually). So, for example, if you’re making monthly payments, divide by 12. Multiply it by the balance of your loan, which for the first payment, will be your whole principal amount.

(This gives you the amount of interest you pay the first month.)

First, convert R as a percent to r as a decimal

r = R/100

r = 50/100

r = 0.5 rate per year,

Then solve the equation for A

A = P(1 + r/n)nt

A = 10,300.00(1 + 0.5/12)(12)(3)

A = 10,300.00(1 + 0.041666667)(36)

A = $44,778.84

Henceforth:

The total amount accrued, principal plus interest, with compound interest on a principal of $10,300.00 at a rate of 50% per year compounded 12 times per year over 3 years is $44,778.84.
