Let

x-------> the number

we know that

The expression " Two-fifths of one less than a number is less than three-fifths of one more than that number" represent the equation

\frac{2}{5}(x-1) < \frac{3}{5}(x+1)

Multiply by 5 both sides

2(x-1) < 3(x+1)

2x-2 < 3x+3

-3-2< 3x-2x

-5 < x --------> x >-5

The solution set is the interval -------> (-5,∞)   the number -5 is not included

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

The solution set is the interval (-5,∞)

Determine which of the indicated column vectors are eigenvectors of the given matrix
gladu [14]
]Eigenvectors are found by the equation (A-\lambda I) \vec{v} = 0$ implying that \det(A-\lambda I) = 0. We then can write:

A-\lambda I = \left [ \begin{array}{cc} 4-\lambda & 2 \\ 5 & 1-\lambda \end{array}\right ] 

And:

\det(A-\lambda I) = (4-\lambda)(1-\lambda) - 10 = 0 

Gives us the characteristic polynomial:

\lambda^2 - 5 \lambda -6 = 0 \implies \lambda_1 = -1, \lambda_2 = 6

So, solving for each eigenvector subspace:

\left [ \begin{array}{cc} 4 & 2 \\ 5 & 1 \end{array} \right ] \left [ \begin{array}{c} x \\ y \end{array} \right ] = \left [ \begin{array}{c} -x \\ -y \end{array} \right ]

Gives us the system of equations:

4x + 2y = -x \newline 5x + y = - y 

Producing the subspace along the line y = -\frac{5}{2} x

We can see then that 3 is the answer.
