Answer:

(-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the determinant of the given matrix,

A=\begin{bmatrix}(a-1) & (a^2-a+1)\\ (a+1) & (a^2+a+1)\end{bmatrix}

det A = (a - 1)(a² + a + 1) - (a + 1)(a² - a + 1)

         = a(a² + a + 1) - 1(a²+ a + 1) - a(a² - a + 1) - 1(a² - a + 1)

         = a³ + a² + a - a² - a - 1 - a³ + a² - a - a² + a - 1

         = (a³ - a³) + (-a² + a² - a² - a²) - 1 - 1

         = -2

Therefore, determinant of the given matrix is (-2).

If I have an equation in which x = pounds, and y = total cost, can I substitute quarts into the equation
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Yes, you can

Step-by-step explanation:

As a point of reference, assume the equation is:

y = 5x

Where

y = total\ cost

and

x = pounds

In standard unit of conversion:

1\ pound = 0.4793\ quart

So:

x\ pounds = 0.4793x\ quart

Substitute 0.4793x for x in y = 5x

y = 5 * 0.4793x

y = 2.3965x

The above equation is the equivalent of y = 5x in quarts

<em>So, irrespective of what the equation is, you can always substitute quarts into the equation.</em>
