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}

If (x + 2 ) is a factor of x3 − 6x2 + kx + 10, k =
BartSMP [9]
If a binomial x-a is a factor of a polynomial p(x), then p(a)=0.

x+2 is a factor of p(x)=x³-6x²+kx+10, so p(-2)=0.

p(-2)=0 \\&#10;(-2)^3 - 6 \times (-2)^2 + k \times (-2) + 10=0 \\&#10;-8-6 \times 4-2k+10=0 \\&#10;-8-24-2k+10=0 \\&#10;-2k-22=0 \\&#10;-2k=22 \\&#10;k=\frac{22}{-2} \\&#10;\boxed{k=-11}

What is √-11 in the form a+bi?
Mice21 [21]

Given:

The number is \sqrt{-11}.

To find:

The a+bi form of given number.

Solution:

We have,

\sqrt{-11}

It can be written as

\sqrt{-11}=\sqrt{-1\times 11}

\sqrt{-11}=\sqrt{-1}\times \sqrt{11}      [\because \sqrt{ab}=\sqrt{a}\sqrt{b}]

\sqrt{-11}=i\times \sqrt{11}      [\because \sqrt{-1}=i]

\sqrt{-11}=\sqrt{11}i

Here, real part is missing. So, it can be taken as 0.

\sqrt{-11}=0+\sqrt{11}i

So, a = 0 and b=\sqrt{11}.

Therefore, the a+bi form of given number is 0+\sqrt{11}i.

19. The bases of a trapezoid are 8 and 22 and the trapezoid's area is 135. Find the height
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer: 9

Step-by-step explanation:

A=(a+b)/2 *h

135= 30/2* h

135= 15 * h

135/15= h

9=h
