Complete question is;

Now there is a door whose height is more than its weight by 6 chi 8 cun. The distance is between the opposite is corners is 1 zhang. Find the height and width of the door.

Note: 1 zhange = 10 chi = 100 cun. Give your answers in units of chi and cun.

Answer:

h = 9 chi 6 cun

w = 2 chi 8 cun

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height be h and width be w.

Now, we are told that height is more than its weight by 6 chi 8 cun.

Thus,

weight = height - 6 chi 8 cun

Let's convert 6 chi 8 cun to chi for easy calculation.

Since 100 cun = 10 chu

Then 8 cun = 8 × 10/100 = 0.8 chi

Thus 6 chi 8 cun = 6 chi + 0.8 chi = 6.8 chi

Thus;

Height is h

Width is (h - 6.8) chi

Now, we are told that the distance between the corners is 1 zhang = 10 chi

Distance between corners is the diagonal of the door.

Thus, the height, width and diagonal con form a right angle triangle which can be solved by Pythagoreas theorem.

Thus;

h² + w² = 10²

Plugging in (h - 6.8) for w, we have;

h² + (h - 6.8)² = 100

h² + h² - 13.6h + 46.24 = 100

2h² - 13.6h + 46.24 - 100 = 0

2h² - 13.6h - 53.76 = 0

Using quadratic formula, we have;

h = 9.6 chi

Converting 0.6 chi to cun gives;

0.6 × 100/10 = 6 cun

Thus, h = 9 chi 6 cun

Since w = (h - 6 chi 8 chun)

Then, w = 9 chi 6 cun - 6 chi 8 chun = 2 chi 8 chun

What is the row echelon form of this matrix?
USPshnik [31]

The row echelon form of the matrix is presented as follows;

\begin{bmatrix}1 &-2  &-5  \\ 0& 1 &  -7\\ 0&0  &1  \\\end{bmatrix}

<h3>What is the row echelon form of a matrix?</h3>

The row echelon form of a matrix has the rows consisting entirely of zeros at the bottom, and the first entry of a row that is not entirely zero is a one.

The given matrix is presented as follows;

\begin{bmatrix}-3 &6  &15  \\ 2& -6 &  4\\ 1&0  &-1  \\\end{bmatrix}

The conditions of a matrix in the row echelon form are as follows;

  1. There are row having nonzero entries above the zero rows.
  2. The first nonzero entry in a nonzero row is a one.
  3. The location of the leading one in a nonzero row is to the left of the leading one in the next lower rows.

Dividing Row 1 by -3 gives:

\begin{bmatrix}1 &-2  &-5  \\ 2& -6 &  4\\ 1&0  &-1  \\\end{bmatrix}

Multiplying Row 1 by 2 and subtracting the result from Row 2 gives;

\begin{bmatrix}1 &-2  &-5  \\ 0& -2 &  14\\ 1&0  &-1  \\\end{bmatrix}

Subtracting Row 1 from Row 3 gives;

\begin{bmatrix}1 &-2  &-5  \\ 0& -2 &  14\\ 0&2  &4  \\\end{bmatrix}

Adding Row 2 to Row 3 gives;

\begin{bmatrix}1 &-2  &-5  \\ 0& -2 &  14\\ 0&0  &18  \\\end{bmatrix}

Dividing Row 2 by -2, and Row 3 by 18 gives;

\begin{bmatrix}1 &-2  &-5  \\ 0& 1 &  -7\\ 0&0  &1  \\\end{bmatrix}

The above matrix is in the row echelon form

A music store sells used cds for $5 each and buys used CDs for$1.50 each. you go to the store with $20 and some CDs to sell. you
olya-2409 [2.1K]
Let x be the number of CDs we buy and y the number of CDs we sell. 
Each CD sell for $1.5, then the total of money we earn is $1.5y.
Each CD bought for $5, then the total money spent is $-5x
Add the above values like this:
1.5y-5x
We have $20, add them like this:
1.5y-5x+20
Since we want to have<span> at least $10 left when you leave the store, then 
we deduce the equation:
</span>1.5y-5x+20\leq 10

If z varies directly with the product of x and y(z=k x y) , then z is said to vary jointly with x and y .
Dafna1 [17]

The value of z varies jointly with w and y.

What is the constant of proportion?

A constant of proportion is illustrated as the ratio which relates two given quantities with each other in the relationship of proportion. Constant of proportion is also called constant variation, rate of change, and constant ratio.

Solving for the value of constant of variation

let k be the constant of proportion

When a quantity varies directly with others, then we have a relation, y = kx

Given relation is z = kxy        —-- 1

Also x varies directly with w i.e. x = k'w, where k' is constant of variation for x and w

Using in equation 1, we have,

z = k(k'w)y

z = kk'wy

z = Kwy, where K is constant of variation i.e. K = kk'

It shows that z varies directly with w and y.

Hence, z varies jointly with w and y.
