Answer:

  d  2

Step-by-step explanation:

The system of equations can be written in augmented matrix form as ...

  \displaystyle\left[\begin{array}{cc|c}-\frac{1}{2}&3&-4\\-1&-1&-1\end{array}\right]

The value of x found by Cramer's rule is the ratio of two determinants. The numerator is the coefficient matrix with the x-column replaced by the constant column. The denominator is the coefficient matrix.

  \displaystyle x=\frac{\left|\begin{array}{cc}-4&3\\-1&-1\end{array}\right| }{\left|\begin{array}{cc}-\frac{1}{2}&3\\-1&-1\end{array}\right|}=\frac{(-4)(-1)-(-1)(3)}{(-\frac{1}{2})(-1)-(-1)(3)}=\frac{4+3}{\frac{1}{2}+3}\\\\\boxed{x=2}

Answer:

There are countless ways in which geography affects people. It is a key factor in influencing the way of life of people in a given region. Local resources determine the food people eat which in turn influences the overall health and nutrition of a population. Sure, food from other regions is often imported, but often a region's cuisine is determined by what is readily and affordably available and what has been traditionally consumed for generations.

Natural resources of a geographic area also play a role in the local economy. For instance, a region with ample petroleum reserves can grow wealthy off of this by exporting it to regions that lack such reserves. Take a look at the United Arab Emirates, for instance. A century ago, this country was little more than a backwater. Then, after the global need for petroleum surged, it has steadily grown into one of the wealthiest nations on the planet.

Strategic geographic locations also affect the people who live there. The tiny nation of Singapore is wealthy because it lies along an important shipping route. The Poles have endured repeated invasions and conquests because they inhabit a country with few natural defensive barriers in between other strong nations.

Geography plays a part in someone's relationship with the physical environment. Rising ocean levels are threatening to displace people who live in low lying coastal areas. People who live in temperate climates must adapt to changing seasons several times a year while those in the tropics do not.

Sometimes being situated near many other cultures affects the culture of the place itself. The island of Taiwan, for instance, has been influenced by the Chinese and Japanese as a result of various conquests and migrations which has given it a culture all its own. On the other hand, more isolated peoples in places like far-flung Polynesian islands or Madagascar have developed cultures more endemic to their location.

Many more examples could be given considering that geography is a vast field with a multitude of ramifications. Suffice it to say, that nobody on earth is immune from the influence of their geography.

A circle has the center of (1,-5) and a radius of 5 determine the location of the point (4,-1)
Sliva [168]

"determine the location" or namely, is it inside the circle, outside the circle, or right ON the circle?

well, we know the center is at (1,-5) and it has a radius of 5, so the distance from the center to any point on the circle will just be 5, now if (4,-1) is less than that away, is inside, if more than that is outiside and if it's exactly 5 is right ON the circle.

well, we can check by simply getting the distance from the center to the point (4,-1).

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ \stackrel{center}{(\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-5})}\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-1})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ d = \sqrt{[4-1]^2+[-1-(-5)]^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(4-1)^2+(-1+5)^2} \\\\\\ d = \sqrt{3^2+4^2}\implies d =\sqrt{9+16}\implies d=\sqrt{25}\implies \stackrel{\textit{right on the circle}}{d = 5}

Fred has 30 minutes to do a three-problem quiz. He spent 10 7/10 minutes on question a and 5 2/5 minutes on question b. How much
tatiyna

Answer:Fred has 13 9/10 minutes left for question C

Step-by-step explanation:

The total time that Fred has to do the three-problem quiz is 30 minutes.

He spent 10 7/10 minutes on question A. Converting 10 7/10 minutes to improper fraction, it becomes 107/10 minutes.

He spent 5 2/5 minutes on question B. Converting 5 2/5 minutes to improper fraction, it becomes 27/5 minutes.

Total time that Fred spent on question A and question B is

107/10 + 27/5 = (107 + 54)/10

= 161/10 minutes.

The amount of time that he has left for question C would be

30 - 161/10 = (300 - 161)/10 = 139/10

= 13 9/10 minutes
