Answer:

$Number\ is\ \frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

Subtract 1/2 from x = (x - 1/2)

Multiply 1/2 to the result = 1/2(x - 1/2)

The result is 1/8

That is,

$\frac{1}{2}( x - \frac{1}{2}) = \frac{1}{8}\\\\( x - \frac{1}{2}) = \frac{1}{8}\times \frac{2}{1}\\\\(x-\frac{1}{2}) = \frac{1}{4}\\\\x = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{2}\\\\x = \frac{3}{4}$

Answer: -40 < T < 140

From the question, we are informed that the gas that the driver uses freezes at −40° F and evaporates at 140° F.

To get the inequality to represent the temperatures at which the gas in the truck will remain in liquid form, we should note that the temperature will be lower than 140°F but more than -40°F. This can be expressed as:

= -40 < T < 140

Angle <QAB is =15° because the opposite angles of an isosceles triangle are equal.

The length of the straight line AB = 80cm

<h3>Calculation of angle of a triangle</h3>

The angle at a point = 360°

Angle AQB= 360 - 210° = 150

But the angle that makes up a triangle= 180°

180-150= 30°

But <QAB = <QBA because triangle AQB is an isosceles triangle.

30/2 = 15°

To calculate the length of the straight line the following is carried out using the sine laws.

a/ sina, = b sinb

a= 8cm, sin a { sin 15)

b= ? , sin B = 150

make b the subject formula;

8/sin15= b/sin 150

b= 8 × sin 150/sin 15

b= 80cm

Ainat [17]

Answer:

-4.3 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

if I understand the problem correctly, then the temperature at midnight fell 15.7 degrees from 11.4 degrees at noon.

11.4 - 15.7 = -4.3 degrees

so, the temperature at midnight was -4.3 degrees

For the system of equations that follows, use Gaussian elimination to obtain an equivalent system whose coefficient matrix is in

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

$\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 0 & 0& 46/41 &180/41\\0 & 1 & 0&1/41 &-5/41\\0&0 & 1 & -8/41& -42/41\end{Vmatrix}$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

System of equations given as

x₁ + 3x₂ + x₃ + x₄ = 3;

2x₁ - 2x₂ + x₃ + 2x₄ = 8;

x₁ - 5x₂ + x₄ = 5

Matrix form

$\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 3 & 1&1&3\\2 & -2 & 1&2&8\\0&1 & -5 & 1& 5\end{Vmatrix}$ $\begin{Vmatrix}x_1\\x_2\\x_3\\x_4\end{Vmatrix}$

Generally the echelon reduction is mathematically applied as

$\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 3 & 1&1&3\\2 & -2 & 1&2&8\\0&1 & -5 & 1& 5\end{Vmatrix}$

Add -2 times the 1st row to the 2nd row

$\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 3 & 1&1&3\\0 & -8 & -1&0&2\\0&1 & -5 & 1& 5\end{Vmatrix}$

Multiply the 2nd row by -1/8

$\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 3 & 1&1&3\\0 & 1 & 1/8&0&-1/4\\0&1 & -5 & 1& 5\end{Vmatrix}$

Add -1 times the 2nd row to the 3rd row

$\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 3 & 1&1&3\\0 & 1 & 1/8&0&-1/4\\0&0 & -41/8 & 1& 21/4\end{Vmatrix}$

Multiply the 3rd row by -8/41

$\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 3 & 1&1&3\\0 & 1 & 1/8&0&-1/4\\0&0 & 1 & -8/41& -42/41\end{Vmatrix}$

Add -1/8 times the 3rd row to the 2nd row

Add -1 times the 3rd row to the 1st row

$\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 3 & 0&49/41&165/41\\0 & 1 & 0&1/41 &-5/41\\0&0 & 1 & -8/41& -42/41\end{Vmatrix}$

Add -3 times the 2nd row to the 1st row

$\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 0 & 0& 46/41 &180/41\\0 & 1 & 0&1/41 &-5/41\\0&0 & 1 & -8/41& -42/41\end{Vmatrix}$
