We have been given two matrices a and b. A has 6 rows and 7 columns, while b has 7 rows and 8 columns.

Since we know that order matters in matrix multiplication. In order for matrix multiplication to be defined number of columns in the first matrix should be equal to the number of rows of in the second matrix.

We can see that number of columns in matrix a and number of rows in matrix b is 7.

Therefore, size of ab will be equal to number of rows of matrix a and number of columns of matrix b that is 6 by 8.

Now we will see whether ba is defined or not. We can see columns in matrix b are 8 and rows in matrix a are 6, which is not equal. So we can say that ba is not defined.

Therefore, size of ba is not defined (dne).

For every real number x,y, and z the statement (x-y)z=xz-yz is
VikaD [51]

Answer:

true.

Step-by-step explanation:

(x - y)z = xz - yz

Apply the distributive property of multiplication over addition to the left side:

(x - y)z =

= z(x - y)

= xz - yz

This is the same as the right side, so the statement is true.

3x-7>8 and -3x ≥-36 solve the inequality
tamaranim1 [39]

Good evening,

Answer:

x > 5

x ≤ 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Visualize as if the inequality symbols are equal signs and then solve it as you would for a normal equation, note if you divide by two negative numbers at all you then switch the sign.

On a number line, an inequality sign without the “equal to” is plotted with an open circe.

An inequality sign, with the “equal to” is plotted with a closed circle.

3x - 7> 8

Add seven on both sides, we do this because we want to eliminate the 7 from one side.

3x > 15

Divide both sides by 3, we do this because you want to get rid of the 3 from x.

x > 5

As for the second inequality.

Divide both sides by -3, as I mentioned earlier switch the side since we are dividing by two negative numbers.

x ≤ 12

For the greater than inequality x > 5, plot a open circle on 5 and draw the line going to the right.

For the less than or equal to inequality x ≤ 12, plot a closed cirlce on 12 and draw the line going to the left.

A unique trick is to graph the line based on the direction (right or left) the inequality symbol is pointing to.

If a line has a midpoint at (2,5), and the endpoints are (0,0) and (4,y), what is the value of y? Please explain each step for a
Dovator [93]

Answer:

y = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the y coordinate of the midpoint, take the y coordinates of the endpoints and average

(0+y)/2 = 5

Multiply each  die by 2

0+y = 10

y = 10
