Factor the triomial x2-8x+15

1 answer:

3 0

X²-8x+15
Use the p and q method.
p*q=15
p+q=-8
p=-5, q=-3
Write in your factored form.
(x-5)(x-3)
So, (x-5)(x-3) is your answer.

Find the inverse of the given matrix, if it exists.Aequals=left bracket Start 3 By 3 Matrix 1st Row 1st Column 1 2nd Column 0 3

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

$A^{-1}=\left[ \begin{array}{ccc} \frac{1}{9} & \frac{4}{27} & - \frac{2}{27} \\\\ \frac{8}{9} & \frac{5}{27} & \frac{11}{27} \\\\ - \frac{4}{9} & \frac{2}{27} & - \frac{1}{27} \end{array} \right]$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the inverse of $A=\left[ \begin{array}{ccc} 1 & 0 & -2 \\\\ 4 & 1 & 3 \\\\ -4 & 2 & 3 \end{array} \right]$

To find the inverse matrix, augment it with the identity matrix and perform row operations trying to make the identity matrix to the left. Then to the right will be inverse matrix.

So, augment the matrix with identity matrix:

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|ccc}1&0&-2&1&0&0 \\\\ 4&1&3&0&1&0 \\\\ -4&2&3&0&0&1\end{array}\right]$

Subtract row 1 multiplied by 4 from row 2

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|ccc}1&0&-2&1&0&0 \\\\ 0&1&11&-4&1&0 \\\\ -4&2&3&0&0&1\end{array}\right]$

Add row 1 multiplied by 4 to row 3

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|ccc}1&0&-2&1&0&0 \\\\ 0&1&11&-4&1&0 \\\\ 0&2&-5&4&0&1\end{array}\right]$

Subtract row 2 multiplied by 2 from row 3

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|ccc}1&0&-2&1&0&0 \\\\ 0&1&11&-4&1&0 \\\\ 0&0&-27&12&-2&1\end{array}\right]$

Divide row 3 by −27

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|ccc}1&0&-2&1&0&0 \\\\ 0&1&11&-4&1&0 \\\\ 0&0&1&- \frac{4}{9}&\frac{2}{27}&- \frac{1}{27}\end{array}\right]$

Add row 3 multiplied by 2 to row 1

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|ccc}1&0&0&\frac{1}{9}&\frac{4}{27}&- \frac{2}{27} \\\\ 0&1&11&-4&1&0 \\\\ 0&0&1&- \frac{4}{9}&\frac{2}{27}&- \frac{1}{27}\end{array}\right]$

Subtract row 3 multiplied by 11 from row 2

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|ccc}1&0&0&\frac{1}{9}&\frac{4}{27}&- \frac{2}{27} \\\\ 0&1&0&\frac{8}{9}&\frac{5}{27}&\frac{11}{27} \\\\ 0&0&1&- \frac{4}{9}&\frac{2}{27}&- \frac{1}{27}\end{array}\right]$

As can be seen, we have obtained the identity matrix to the left. So, we are done.

Zola is thinking of a number. If the number is divided by 7.5, the quotient is 62. what is zolas number?

____ [38]

Okay, so I would multiply 62*7.5 to get 465.

To check the solution, make sure it follows the rules as in the word problem.

If you divide 465 by 7.5 you do get 62, so the solution is 465.

Mathematically, the equation would be

x
- = 62
7.5
I would multiply x/7.5 by 7.5/1 (to cancel it out) and 62/1 by 7.5 which is basically the same solution as above.
