Evaluate the determinant for the following matrix: 1 4 4 5 2 2 1 5 5

1 answer:

7 0

A Laplace expansion along the first row gives

$\begin{vmatrix}1&4&4\\5&2&1\\1&5&5\end{vmatrix}=1\begin{vmatrix}2&1\\5&5\end{vmatrix}-4\begin{vmatrix}5&1\\1&5\end{vmatrix}+4\begin{vmatrix}5&2\\1&5\end{vmatrix}$
$=1(10-5)-4(25-1)+4(25-2)$
$=1$

Margie's car can go 32 miles on a gallon of gas, and gas currently cost $4 per gallon. how many miles can Margie drive on $20 wo

Marysya12 [62]

To do this first we will divide the amount of dollars (20) by the amount of dollars 1 gallon is for (4). Then we will multiply the amount of times 4 goes into 20 by 32 and the answer will be the amount of miles she can drive worth $20.

20 ÷ 4 = 3
3 × 32 = 96

So, Margie can drive 96 miles in $20.

Hope I helped ya!! xD

Find the altitude of an equilateral triangle whose perimeter is 18

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

3√3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the altitude of the equilateral triangle whose perimeter is 18 . Firstly let us find the side of the∆.

$\rm \implies a + a + a = 18 \\\\\rm\implies 3a = 18 \\\\\rm\implies a = 6$

Now we know that in a equilateral triangle , the altitude of the triangle with side length a is ,

$\rm\implies Altitude =\dfrac{\sqrt3}{2} a$

Plug in the value of a that is 6 , we will get ,

$\rm\implies Altitude =\dfrac{\sqrt 3}{2} a \\\\\rm\implies Altitude =\dfrac{ \sqrt3}{2}\times 6 \\\\\rm\implies Altitude = \sqrt3 \times 3 \\\\\rm\implies\boxed{ \bf Altitude = 3\sqrt3 \ units }$
