Answer:

y =mx +bx

Where y is the total amount earned, m the amount for each extended warranty and b the fixed cost and x the total amount of TVs

For this case the value of x = 16 since we have 16 Tvs with extended warranties and we can do this:

1200 = 15*16 +16b

and solving for b we got:

b= \frac{1200-15*16}{16}= 60

And then we can conclude that she earns 60 for each TV

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can set a linear model like this:

y =mx +bx

Where y is the total amount earned, m the amount for each extended warranty and b the fixed cost and x the total amount of TVs

For this case the value of x = 16 since we have 16 Tvs with extended warranties and we can do this:

1200 = 15*16 +16b

and solving for b we got:

b= \frac{1200-15*16}{16}= 60

And then we can conclude that she earns 60 for each TV

Jerome recently moved to a new city and bought a home. The assessment rate is 51%. The property tax rate is $53.26 per $1000. Wh
mrs_skeptik [129]
Given:
assessment rate = 51%
tax rate = 53.26 per 1,000

53.26 / 1000 = 0.05326
0.05326 x 100% = 5.326%

Effective tax rate = assessment rate * tax rate
ETR = 51% * 5.326%
ETR = 2.72%

OLga [1]
Answer:

z = 86

Explanation:

90 - 68 = 12
180 - 78 = 102
102 + 12 = 114
180 - 114 = 86

Consider the transpose of Your matrix A, that is, the matrix whose first column is the first row of A, the second column is the
Zarrin [17]

Answer:The system could have no solution or n number of solution where n is the number of unknown in the n linear equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if solution exist or not, you test the equation for consistency.

A system is said to be consistent if the rank of a matrix (say B ) is equal to the rank of the matrix formed by adding the constant terms(in this case the zeros) as a third column to the matrix B.

Consider the following scenarios:

(1) For example:Given the matrix A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&2\\3&4\end{array}\right], to transpose A, exchange rows with columns i.e take first column as first row and second column as second row as follows:

Let A transpose be B.

∵B=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&3\\2&4\end{array}\right]

the system Bx=0 can be represented in matrix form as:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&3\\2&4\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x_{1} \\x_{2} \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0\\0\end{array}\right] ................................eq(1)

Now, to determine the rank of B, we work the determinant of the maximum sub-square matrix of B. In this case, B is a 2 x 2 matrix, therefore, the maximum sub-square matrix of B is itself B. Hence,

|B|=(1*4)-(3*2)= 4-6 = -2 i.e, B is a non-singular matrix with rank of order (-2).

Again, adding the constant terms of equation 1(in this case zeros) as a third column to B, we have B_{0}:      

B_{0}=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&3&0\\4&2&0\end{array}\right]. The rank of B_{0} can be found by using the second column and third column pair as follows:

|B_{0}|=(3*0)-(0*2)=0 i.e, B_{0} is a singular matrix with rank of order 1.

Note: a matrix is singular if its determinant is = 0 and non-singular if it is \neq0.

Comparing the rank of both B and B_{0}, it is obvious that

Rank of B\neqRank of B_{0} since (-2)<1.

Therefore, we can conclude that equation(1) is <em>inconsistent and thus has no solution.     </em>

(2) If B=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-4&5\\-8&10&\end{array}\right] is the transpose of matrix A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-4&-8\\5&10\end{array}\right], then

Then the equation Bx=0 is represented as:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-4&5\\-8&10&\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x_{1} \\x_{2} \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0\\0\end{array}\right]..................................eq(2)

|B|= (-4*10)-(5*(-8))= -40+40 = 0  i.e B has a rank of order 1.

B_{0}=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-4&5&0\\-8&10&0\end{array}\right],

|B_{0}|=(5*0)-(0*10)=0-0=0   i.e B_{0} has a rank of order 1.

we can therefor conclude that since

rank B=rank B_{0}=1,  equation(2) is <em>consistent</em> and has 2 solutions for the 2 unknown (X_{1} and X_{2}).

<u>Summary:</u>

  • Given an equation Bx=0, transform the set of linear equations into matrix form as shown in equations(1 and 2).
  • Determine the rank of both the coefficients matrix B and B_{0} which is formed by adding a column with the constant elements of the equation to the coefficient matrix.
  • If the rank of both matrix is same, then the equation is consistent and there exists n number of solutions(n is based on the number of unknown) but if they are not equal, then the equation is not consistent and there is no number of solution.
