Answer:

Her error was multiplying numerator by numerator ( that is Quantity of Bone-shaped treats)

Step-by-step explanation:

Sarah's calculation

Let

x = cost of 12 Bone-shaped treats

Quantity of Bone-shaped treats : price

5 : 3.5 = 12 : x

(5/3.5) = (12/x)

Cross product

3.5x=60 (Here is her error)

x=17.14

Correct calculation

Quantity of Bone-shaped treats : price

5 : 3.5 = 12 : x

5 / 3.5 = 12 / x

Cross product

5 * x = 3.5 * 12

5x = 42

x = 42 / 5

= 8.4

x = $8.4

Her error was multiplying numerator by numerator ( that is Quantity of Bone-shaped treats)

Instead of multiplying Quantity of Bone-shaped treats by cost

Answer:

Sarah multiplied the denominator by the denominator and the numerator by the numerator instead of finding the cross products. The equation should be 5x = 42, so the cost should be $8.40.

Consider the linear transformation T from V = P2 to W = P2 given by T(a0 + a1t + a2t2) = (2a0 + 3a1 + 3a2) + (6a0 + 4a1 + 4a2)t
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

[T]EE=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&3&3\\6&4&4\\-2&3&4\end{array}\right]

Step-by-step explanation:

First we start by finding the dimension of the matrix [T]EE

The dimension is : Dim (W) x Dim (V) = 3 x 3

Because the dimension of P2 is the number of vectors in any basis of P2 and that number is 3

Then, we are looking for a 3 x 3 matrix.

To find [T]EE we must transform the vectors of the basis E and then that result express it in terms of basis E using coordinates and putting them into columns. The order in which we transform the vectors of basis E is very important.

The first vector of basis E is e1(t) = 1

We calculate T[e1(t)] = T(1)

In the equation : 1 = a0

T(1)=(2.1+3.0+3.0)+(6.1+4.0+4.0)t+(-2.1+3.0+4.0)t^{2}=2+6t-2t^{2}

[T(e1)]E=\left[\begin{array}{c}2&6&-2\\\end{array}\right]

And that is the first column of [T]EE

The second vector of basis E is e2(t) = t

We calculate T[e2(t)] = T(t)

in the equation : 1 = a1

T(t)=(2.0+3.1+3.0)+(6.0+4.1+4.0)t+(-2.0+3.1+4.0)t^{2}=3+4t+3t^{2}

[T(e2)]E=\left[\begin{array}{c}3&4&3\\\end{array}\right]

Finally, the third vector of basis E is e3(t)=t^{2}

T[e3(t)]=T(t^{2})

in the equation : a2 = 1

T(t^{2})=(2.0+3.0+3.1)+(6.0+4.0+4.1)t+(-2.0+3.0+4.1)t^{2}=3+4t+4t^{2}

Then

[T(t^{2})]E=\left[\begin{array}{c}3&4&4\\\end{array}\right]

And that is the third column of [T]EE

Let's write our matrix

[T]EE=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&3&3\\6&4&4\\-2&3&4\end{array}\right]

T(X) = AX

Where T(X) is to apply the transformation T to a vector of P2,A is the matrix [T]EE and X is the vector of coordinates in basis E of a vector from P2

For example, if X is the vector of coordinates from e1(t) = 1

X=\left[\begin{array}{c}1&0&0\\\end{array}\right]

AX=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&3&3\\6&4&4\\-2&3&4\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{c}1&0&0\\\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{c}2&6&-2\\\end{array}\right]

Applying the coordinates 2,6 and -2 to the basis E we obtain

2+6t-2t^{2}

That was the original result of T[e1(t)]

The slope that passes through the point (-2,-4) and (-3,-8) is
enot [183]

Answer:

y=4x+b (four being the slope)

Step-by-step explanation:

So lets use

ΔY/ΔX

or the y2-y1 over x2-x1

\frac{-8+4}{-3+2}

\frac{-4}{-1}

Therefore, the slope is 4
