Answer:

dim L = dim U = \frac{n(n+1)}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

We can do it only for the lower-triangular matrices, the case of the upper-triangular matrices is similar. We might caracterice nxn the lower-triangular matrices, as the nxn matrices A=(a_{ij}) such that the entry a_{ij}=0 if i<j.

Now let A=(a_{ij}) and B=(b_{ij}) be two lower triangular matrices, now if

C=A+\lambda  B for some \lambda \in \mathbb{F}

then the entry c_{ij} of C is equal to

c_{ij}=a_{ij}+\lambda b_{ij}

Now, if i<j, it must hold that a_{ij}=0 \quad \text{and} \quad b_{ij}=0. Therefore, if this is the case we must have that c_{ij}=0 and so we get that C is also a lower triangular matrix. This showa that L is closed under sum and scalar multiplcation, hence it is a linear subspace.

To find the dimension, note that all the entries of a lower-triangular matrix over the diagonal must be equal to zero. However, each entry of the matrix under the diagonal and in the diagonal might be any element of \mathbb{F}, any entry that can be choosen add up to the dimension of L, we n such elemnts for the first column, (n-1) for the second column, (n-2) for the third column etc.... Therefore,

\dimL=n+(n-1)+(n-2)+...+2+1=\dfrac{n(n+1)}{2}

Given: m ∠3 = m ∠4

To Prove: ∠1, ∠2 are supplementary .

Proof : m ∠3 = m ∠4    ( Given)                                              ------------(1)

m<2 + m< 3 = 180 degrees  ( <2 and <3 form a linear pair). ----------(2)

m< 4 = m<1                            (Vertical angles are equal)       -----------(3).

Substituting, m<4 =m<1 in (1), we get

m ∠3 = m ∠1.

Now, substituting m ∠3 = m ∠1 in (2), we get

m<2 + m< 1 = 180 degrees.

Sum of m <1 and m<2 is 180 degrees.

Therefore,<em> ∠1, ∠2 are supplementary by the defination of supplementary angles.</em>

Use the net as an aid to compute the surface area of the triangular prism. A) 112 m2 B) 136 m2 C) 160 m2 D) 184 m2
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

136 m2 Option c

Step-by-step explanation:

136 m2

1 base = 6 × 7 = 42

2 sides = 2(7 × 5) = 70

2 triangles = 2(6 × 4

2

) = 24

SA = 42 + 70 + 24 = 136 m2

6×10(6)+7×10(5)+3×10(2)+8×10+2= 852

Step-by-step explanation:

ORDER OF OPERATIONS Will really help you solve this long problem.

Order of operations is PEMDAS.

P-parenthesis

E-exponents

M-multiplication

D-division

A-addition

S-subtraction

6)(10)(6)+(7)(10)(5)+(3)(10)(2)+(8)(10)+2

=(60)(6)+(7)(10)(5)+(3)(10)(2)+(8)(10)+2

=360+(7)(10)(5)+(3)(10)(2)+(8)(10)+2

=360+(70)(5)+(3)(10)(2)+(8)(10)+2

=360+350+(3)(10)(2)+(8)(10)+2

=710+(3)(10)(2)+(8)(10)+2

=710+(30)(2)+(8)(10)+2

=710+60+(8)(10)+2

=770+(8)(10)+2

=770+80+2

=850+2

=852
