Answer:
C. No. The sum of the dimensions of the eigenspaces equals nothing and the matrix has 3 columns. The sum of the dimensions of the eigenspace and the number of columns must be equal.
Step-by-step explanation:
Here the sum of dimensions of eigenspace is not equal to the number of columns, so therefore A is not diagonalizable.
The simplest way to solve this is to notice that letting t = 8/3 will let the term (3t-8) = 0. Substituting this will make v(t) = 2. Then we check which graphs pass through (8/3, 2). Only the second and third graphs do.
Next, we look at the behavior of the graph as t increases. Based on the equation, as t increases, (3t-8)^3 increases as well, so v(t) will increase as well. This is shown by the second graph, in which v(t) increases as t increases.
A technical definition of a function is: a relation from a set of inputs to a set of possible outputs where each input is related to exactly one output.
This means that if the object x
x
is in the set of inputs (called the domain) then a function f
f
will map the object x
x
to exactly one object f(x)
f
(
x
)
in the set of possible outputs (called the codomain).
The notion of a function is easily understood using the metaphor of a function machine that takes in an object for its input and, based on that input, spits out another object as its output.
Example: x2 (squaring) is a function
x3+1 is also a function
Sine, Cosine and Tangent are functions used in trigonometry
and there are lots more!
But we are not going to look at specific functions ...
... instead we will look at the general idea of a function.
