The driver's tip was $1.45 because the trip cost $8.55 (2.25+1.5+1.5+1.5+1.5+ 0.3) and Eric gave the driver $10 so to find how much the driver got tipped, you need to subtract 8.55 from 10 so $10 - $ 8.55 = $1.45

If A=[xy5−8] determine the values of x and y for which A2=A.
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

<h2>x = 9, y = -72/5</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 by 2 matrix A = \left[\begin{array}{-cc}x&5\\y&-8\\\end{array}\right] , we are to find the value of x and y for the expression A² = A to be true.

First we need to find A² by multiplying the same matrix together

A^2 = \left[\begin{array}{-cc}x&5\\y&-8\\\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{-cc}x&5\\y&-8\\\end{array}\right]\\\\ \ we \ normally \ multiply \ the \ rows \ of \ the \ first \ matrix \ with \ the \ column \ of \ the \ second \\\\A^2 = \left[\begin{array}{-cc}x^2+5y&5x-40\\xy-8y&5y+64\\\end{array}\right]\\\\Since \ A^2 = A,\ hence;\\\\\left[\begin{array}{-cc}x^2+5y&5x-40\\xy-8y&5y+64\\\end{array}\right] =  \left[\begin{array}{-cc}x&5\\y&-8\\\end{array}\right]\\

Equating the first row and second column of both matrices together, we will have;

5x-40 = 5

add 40 to both sides of the equation

5x-40+40 = 5+40

5x = 45

x = 45/5

x = 9

Similarly,  we will equate the second row and second column of both matrices to have;

5y+64 = -8

Subtract 64 from both sdies

5y+64-64 = -8-64

5y = -72

y = -72/5

<em>Hence the value of x is 9 and y is -72/5</em>

A student cuts pieces of ribbon to decorate a banner the first piece of ribbon is 24 inches long. The next piece of ribbon is on
kumpel [21]

Answer:

Option D) 47.25 in

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of a exponential decay function is equal to

y=a(1-r)^x

where

y is the total length

x is the number of pieces of ribbon

a is the initial value

r is the rate of change

we have

a=24\ in\\r=50\%=50/100=0.50

substitute

y=24(1-0.50)^x

y=24(0.50)^x

we have that

For x=0 ----->y=24\ in

For x=1 ----> y=24(0.50)^1=12\ in

For x=2 ----> y=24(0.50)^2=6\ in

For x=3 ---->y=24(0.50)^3=3\ in

For x=4 ----> y=24(0.50)^4=1.5\ in

For x=5 ----> y=24(0.50)^5=0.75\ in

Adds the length of the first 6 pieces of ribbon

24+12+6+3+1.5+0.75=47.25\ in

1) find an equation of the line that passes through the pair of points (-3,-2) and (-4,9).
Alisiya [41]
1) since its pairs your working with what you do is y2-y1 and x2-x1 so to start its 9-(-2) which equals 11 then -4-(-3) which equals -1, 11/-1 is -11 I hope this is helpful . . .

2) to start its y=mx+b so since your slope is 2 and your pair is (0,-3) the equation would be -3=2(0)+b since 2(0) equals 0 your left with -3=0+b subtract 0 over answers b=-3
