Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It can be rounded down to 17.5 if rounding to 1 decimal place. If you are rounding to the nearest whole number, you would round to 18.

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you round it to the nearest whole number, then 17.526 becomes 18 because if the first digit after the decimal(in this case,5) is 5 or greater you round to the next whole number.

If you round it to the nearest tenth, it would result in 17.5, because if the second digit after the decimal (in this case, 2) is 5 or greater you round to the next tenth of decimal.

Hope this helps!

Jerry has a credit card debt of $15,600 that he would like to reduce by applying $8,500 of his inheritance money to the balance.

sergiy2304 [10]

HIs debt in his credit card is 15 600 dollars
=> 15 600 - 8500 dollars = 7100 dollars is his remaining debt.
Now, he wants to pay it in 24 months only with annual interest of 18%
=> 7100 dollars * .18 = 1278 dollars is the interest
=> 7100 + 1278 = 8 378
=> 8378 / 12 = 698.17 dollars per month.

Determine if the columns of the matrix form a linearly independent set. Justify your answer. Choose the correct answer below. A.

kondaur [170]

Th matrix is missing. The matrix is :

$\begin{bmatrix}1 &-4 &4 \\ -4 &16 & 4 \end{bmatrix}$

Solution :

The column of the matrix are $\begin{bmatrix}1\\ -4\end{bmatrix}$ , $\begin{bmatrix}-4\\ 16\end{bmatrix}$ , $\begin{bmatrix}4\\ 4\end{bmatrix}$

Now each of them are vectors in $IR^2$ . But $IR^2$ has dimensions of 2. But there are 3 column vectors, hence they are linearly dependent.

Therefore, the column of the given matrix does not form the $\text{linearly independent set}$ as the set contains $\text{more vectors}$ than there are entries in each vector.
