Answer:

The actual distance between these two exhibits = 125 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Two water fountains are 10 inches apart on a scale of drawing museum

The actual distance between them is 400 feet.

On the same drawing, the distance between two exhibits is 3.125 inches.

To Find : What is the actual distance between these two exhibits?

Solution :

Since Two water fountains are 10 inches apart on a scale of drawing museum and The actual distance between them is 400 feet.

⇒ 10 inches = 400 feet

So, 1 inch = 400/10

⇒1 inch = 40 feet

Since we are given that  the distance between two exhibits is 3.125 inches.

So , the actual distance between two exhibits (i.e.in feet ) (Using 1 inch = 40 feet)

= 3.215*40

= 125 feet

Thus , The actual distance between these two exhibits = 125 feet.

You and some friends are going to the fair. Small rides costs 4 tickets and while big rides costs 7 tickets. You and your friend
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

<em>4x+7y≤250</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Inequalities</u>

Let's call:

x = number of small rides

y = number of big rides

Since each small ride costs 4 tickets, x rides cost 4x tickets.

Since each big ride costs 7 tickets, y rides cost 7y tickets.

The total number of tickets is the sum of both:

Total tickets = 4x+7y

The friends have 250 tickets, so the total tickets of the rides cannot be greater than the 250 tickets available, thus:

4x+7y≤250

Find the values of λ for which the determinant is zero.
elena55 [62]

Answer:

Determinant are special number that can only be defined for square matrices.

Step-by-step explanation:

Determinant are particularly important for analysis. The inverse of a matrix exist, if the determinant is not equal to zero.

How to find determinant

For a 2×2 matrix

det ( \left[\begin{array}{cc}x&y\\a&z\end{array}\right] ) = xz-ay

For a 3×3 matrix

we first decompose it to 2×2

det (\left[\begin{array}{ccc}k&l&m\\o&p&q\\r&s&t\end{array}\right] )\\\\= k*det(\left[\begin{array}{cc}p&q\\s&t\end{array}\right] ) - l*det(\left[\begin{array}{cc}o&q\\r&t\end{array}\right] ) + m*det(\left[\begin{array}{cc}o&p\\r&s\end{array}\right] ) \\\\=k(pt-sq) - l(ot-rq) + m(os-rp)

Example

Find the values of λ for which the determinant is zero

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}s&-1&0\\-1&s&-1\\0&-1&1\end{array}\right]

det(\left[\begin{array}{ccc}s&-1&0\\-1&s&-1\\0&-1&1\end{array}\right])\\\\= s*det(\left[\begin{array}{cc}s&-1\\-1&1\end{array}\right] ) - (-1)*det(\left[\begin{array}{cc}-1&-1\\0&1\end{array}\right] ) + 0*det(\left[\begin{array}{cc}-1&s\\0&-1\end{array}\right] )\\\\= s(s(1)-(-1*-1)) - (-1)(-1*1 - (-1*0)) + 0\\= s(s - 1)) + 1(-1 + 0) \\=s^{2} -s-1

Equating the determinant to zero

s^{2} -s-1 =0\\

s = \frac{1}{2} * (1 ±5 )

s = 1.61 or -0.61

andre [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

cats : dogs

  5   :   3    

Since you are looking for dogs it is :-

\frac{dogs}{cats} × 60 cats (the number of cats).

\frac{3}{5} × 60 cats = 36 dogs.

∴ There are 36 dogs.
