Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Original width = 6

New width 6+x+x

Orignal length 12

New length  12+x+x

A = l*w

160 = ( 6+2x) ( 12+2x)

Factor

160 = 2( 3+x) 2(6+x)

Divide each side by 4

40 = (3+x) (6+x)

FOIL

40 = 18+ 6x+3x+ x^2

40 = 18 +9x+x^2

Subtract 40 from each side

0 = x^2 +9x -22

Factor

0 = (x +11) (x-2)

Using the zero product property

x +11 =0   x-2 =0

x= -11   x=2

Since we cannot have a negative  sidewalk

x =2

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Original width = 6

New width = 6 + x + x = 6 + 2x

Orignal length = 12

New length = 12 + x + x = 12 + 2x

A = l * w

160 = (6 + 2x)(12 + 2x)

160 = 2(3+x) * 2(6+x)

160 = 4 * (3 + x)(6 + x)

160/4 = (3 + x)(6 + x)

40 = 18 + 6x + 3x + x^2

40 = 18 + 9x + x^2

x^2 + 9x - 22 = 0

= x^2 + 11x - 2x - 22 = 0

= x(x + 11) - 2(x + 11) = 0    

= (x + 11) (x - 2) = 0

x = - 11, 2

Since we cannot have a negative width because it's a dimension,

x = 2 is right

I am a number greater than 40,000 and less than 60,000. My ones digit and tens digit are the same. My ten-thousands digit is 1 l
jarptica [38.1K]
I am a number greater than 40,000 and less than 60,000:

40,000 < n < 60,000

This means that:

n = 10,000n₁ + 1,000n₂ + 100n₃ + 11n₄

And also:

4 ≤ n₁ < 6

0 ≤ n₂ ≤ 9

0 ≤ n₃ ≤ 9

0 ≤ n₄ ≤ 9

My ten thousands digit is 1 less than 3 times the sum of my ones digit and tens digit:

n₁ = 3*2n₄ - 1

n₁ = 6n₄ - 1

This means that:

n = 10,000*(6n₄-1) + 1,000n₂ + 100n₃ + 11n₄

n = 60,000n₄ - 10,000 + 1,000n₂ + 100n₃ + 11n₄

n = 60,011n₄ - 10,000 + 1,000n₂ + 100n₃

<span>My thousands digit is half my hundreds digit, and the sum of those two digits is 9:

n</span>₂ = 1/2 * n₃
<span>
n</span>₂ + n₃ = 9
<span>
Therefore:

n</span>₂ = 9 - n₃
<span>
Therefore:

9 - n</span>₃ = 1/2 * n₃
<span>
9 = 1/2 * n</span>₃ + n₃
<span>
9 = 1.5 * n</span>₃
<span>
Therefore:

n</span>₃ = 6
<span>
If n</span>₃=6, n₂=3.
<span>
This means that:

</span>n = 60,011n₄ - 10,000 + 1,000*3 + 100*6

n = 60,011n₄ - 10,000 + 3,000 + 600

n = 60,011n₄ - 6,400

Therefore:

0<n₄<2, so n₄=1.

If n₄=1:

n = 60,011 - 6,400

n = 53,611

53,611

A square matrix A is said to be idempotent iff A2 = A. (i) Show that if A is idempotent, then so is I − A. (ii) Show that if A i
muminat

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that A is a square matrix and A is idempotent

A^2 = A

Consider I-A

i) (I-A)^2 = (I-A).(I-A)\\= I^2 -2A.I+A^2\\= I-2A+A\\=I-A

It follows that I-A is also idempotent

ii) Consider the matrix 2A-I

(2A-I).(2A-I)=\\4A^2-4AI+I^2\\= 4A-4A+I\\=I

So it follows that 2A-I matrix is its own inverse.
