Answer:

Yes, it is invertible

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find in the matrix determinant is different from zero, since iif it is, that the matrix is invertible.

Let's use co-factor expansion to find the determinant of this 4x4 matrix, using the column that has more zeroes in it as the co-factor, so we reduce the number of determinant calculations for the obtained sub-matrices.We pick the first column for that since it has three zeros!

Then the determinant of this matrix becomes:

4\,*Det\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&4&6\\0&3&8\\0&0&1\end{array}\right] +0+0+0

And the determinant of these 3x3 matrix is very simple because most of the cross multiplications render zero:

Det\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&4&6\\0&3&8\\0&0&1\end{array}\right] =1 \,(3\,*\,1-0)+4\,(0-0)+6\,(0-0)=3

Therefore, the Det of the initial matrix is : 4 * 3 = 12

and then the matrix is invertible

2(7x-9)=5(x+3)<br> Solve for x
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

x = 3.67

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify both expressions

14x - 18 = 5x + 15

Subtract the bigger (n)x by the smaller

14x - 5x = 9x

Plus the smallest by itself, giving you:

9x - 18 = 15

     +18   +18

9x = 33

Simplify ( divided by 3 )

3x = 11

x = 3.67

What is the amplitude of the sinusoidal function?
saul85 [17]

Answer:

amplitude = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

the amplitude is the maximum subtract the minimum divided by 2

maximum = 1 and minimum = - 7

amplitude = \frac{1-(-7)}{2} = \frac{8}{2} = 4
