6. The figure shows rectangle ABCD in the coordinate plane with point A(0, 2.76), B(3.87, 2.76), C(3.87,0, and D(0,0). Rectangle

ABCD can be used to approximate the size of the state of Colorado with x and y scales representing hundreds of miles. At the end of 2010, the population of Colorado was 5,029,196 people. Based on this information given, what was the population density at the end of 2010 in people per square mile? Enter your answer in the box.

Answer:

Population density = 47 people per square miles

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture attached,

Coordinates of vertex B → (3.87, 2.76)

Which represents length of vertex A from origin O (AD)= 2.76 units ≈ 276 miles

Length of vertex B from origin O (CD) = 3.87 units ≈ 3.87 miles

Area of rectangle ABCD = Length × Width

= CD × AD

= 387 × 276

= 106812 square miles

Population of Colorado = 5029196 people

Population density of Colorado = $\frac{\text{Total population}}{\text{Total area}}$

= $\frac{5029196}{106812}$

= 47.08

≈ 47 people per square miles

The system of equations may have a unique solution, an infinite number of solutions, or no solution. Use matrices to find the ge

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Infinite number of solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given system of equations

$5x+4y+5z=-1$

$x+y+2z=1$

$2x+y-z=-3$

Firs we find determinant of system of equations

Let a matrix A= $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5&4&5\\1&1&2\\2&1&-1\end{array}\right]$ and B= $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-1\\1\\-3\end{array}\right]$

$\mid A\mid=\begin{vmatrix}5&4&5\\1&1&2\\2&1&-1\end{vmatrix}$

$\mid A\mid=5(-1-2)-4(-1-4)+5(1-2)=-15+20-5=0$

Determinant of given system of equation is zero therefore, the general solution of system of equation is many solution or no solution.

We are finding rank of matrix

Apply $R_1\rightarrow R_1-4R_2$ and $R_3\rightarrow R_3-2R_2$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&1\\1&1&2\\0&-1&-3\end{array}\right]$ : $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-5\\1\\-5\end{array}\right]$

Apply $R_2\rightarrow R_2-R_1$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&1\\0&1&1\\0&-1&-3\end{array}\right]$ : $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-5\\6\\-5\end{array}\right]$

Apply $R_3\rightarrow R_3+R_2$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&1\\0&1&1\\0&0&-2\end{array}\right]$ : $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-5\\6\\1\end{array}\right]$

Apply $R_3\rightarrow- \frac{1}{2}$ and $R_2\rightarrow R_2-R_3$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&1\\0&1&0\\0&0&1\end{array}\right]$ : $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-5\\\frac{13}{2}\\-\frac{1}{2}\end{array}\right]$

Apply $R_1\rightarrow R_1-R_3$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&0\\0&1&0\\0&0&1\end{array}\right]$ : $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-\frac{9}{2}\\\frac{13}{2}\\-\frac{1}{2}\end{array}\right]$

Rank of matrix A and B are equal.Therefore, matrix A has infinite number of solutions.

Therefore, rank of matrix is equal to rank of B.

Degger [83]

Answer:

59 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

a square has 4 equal sides

if the sum of all sides(perimeter) is 236 you can do the inverse of that and divide by 4

so your answer should be 59
