kotykmax [81]3 years ago

7 0

Answer:

2/0.74

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the polynomial, factorize it.

2x³-11x²+18x-8=0

After factorizing:

(x-2)(2x^2 - 7x +4) = 0

now, solve each bracket one by one:

x-2 = 0

x = 2

Then

2x^2 - 7x + 4 = 0

use quadratic formula t get 0.74

There were 60 ducks living in a pond. If the number living at the pond increased by 30%, how many ducks now live at the pond?

timama [110]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You take the original total: 60, and multiply it by 30 to get 1,800. You then divide 1,800 by 100 to get 18. 18 is your 30%. Now, you add the 30% to 60 getting your total number of ducks: 78.

The equation version:

$\frac{a}{60} = \frac{30}{100}$

It is just proportions.

Which of the following matrices is the solution matrix for the given system of equations? x + 5y = 11 x - y = 5

givi [52]

<h2>The required solution is x = 6 and y = 11 </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given system of equations are

x+5y = 11 and x-y =5

$A= \left[\begin{array}{cc}1&5\\1&-1\end{array}\right]$ $X=\left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\end{array}\right]$

and $B= \left[\begin{array}{c}11\\5\end{array}\right]$

∴AX=B

$adj A = \left[\begin{array}{cc}{-1}&{-5}\\{-1}&1\end{array}\right]$

$A= \left|\begin{array}{cc}1&5\\1&-1\end{array}\right|=-6$

∴ $A^{-1} =\frac{adj A}{|A|}$

So, $A^{-1} =\frac{ \left[\begin{array}{cc}{-1}&{-5}\\{-1}&1\end{array}\right]}{-6}$

$A^{-1} ={ \left[\begin{array}{c \c} {{\frac{1}{6} }}&{\frac{5}{6}}\ \\ {{\frac{1}{6} }}&{\frac{-1}{6}} \end{array}\right]}$

$X =A^{-1}\times B$

⇒ $\left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\end{array}\right] ={ \left[\begin{array}{c \c} {{\frac{1}{6} }}&{\frac{5}{6}}\ \\ {{\frac{1}{6} }}&{\frac{-1}{6}} \end{array}\right]} \times \left[\begin{array}{c}11\\5\end{array}\right]$
