A trail is 2940 miles long. it begins in city a and ends in city

1 answer:

5 0

In this question, the trail is 2940 miles long and Manfred is already hiking the 3/7 of the trail. You are asked how many miles he has a hike. Then to find it you just need to multiply the trail length with the ratio of hike/total trail. The calculation would be:

2940 miles * 3/7 = 1260 miles

The 3 × 3 matrix P satisfies the matrix equation P^2 = P.

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer: The answers are given below.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that a 3 × 3 matrix P satisfies the matrix equation P² = P.

We are to

(a) find the possibilities for the determinant of P.

(b) explain the reason behind there are no other possibilities.

(c) give an example of P, for each possible determinant.

(a) According to the given information, we have

$P^2=P\\\\\Rightarrow P^2-P=0\\\\\Rightarrow P(P-I)=0\\\\\Rightarrow P=0,~~~P=I.$

So, P can be either a zero matrix of order 3 or an identity matrix of order 3.

If P = 0, then det(P) = 0 and if P = I, then det(P) = 1.

Therefore the possible determinants of P are 0 and 1.

(b) There can be any other determinant other than 0 and 1, because if so, then the given equation P² = P will not be satisfied.

(c) If |P| = 0, then the matrix P can be can be of the form as follows:

$P=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0&0&0\\0&0&0\\0&0&0\end{array}\right] .$

If |P| = 1, the the matrix P can be of the form as follows :

$P=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&0\\0&1&0\\0&0&1\end{array}\right] .$

Thus, all the parts are answered.

NEED HELP Find values for a, b, c, and d so that the following matrix product equals the 2X2 identity matrix. Explain or show ho

ehidna [41]

We want to find the values of a, b, c, and d such that the given matrix product is equal to a 2x2 identity matrix. We will solve a system of equations to find:

b = 1
a = -1
c = -2
d = -1

<h3>Presenting the equation:</h3>

Basically, we want to solve:

$\left[\begin{array}{cc}-1&2\\a&1\end{array}\right]*\left[\begin{array}{cc}b&c\\1&d\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{cc}1&0\\0&1\end{array}\right]$

The matrix product will be:

$\left[\begin{array}{cc}-b + 2&-c + 2d\\a*b + 1&a*c + d\end{array}\right]$

Then we must have:

-b + 2 = 1

This means that:

b = 2 - 1 = 1

b = 1

We also need to have:

a*b + 1 = 0

we know the value of b, so we just have:

a*1 + b = 0

a = -1

Now the two remaining equations are:

-c + 2d = 0

a*c + d = 1

Replacing the value of a we get:

-c + 2d = 0

-c + d = 1

Isolating c in the first equation we get:

c = 2d

Replacing that in the other equation we get:

-(2d) + d = 1

-d = 1

d = -1

Then:

c = 2d = 2*(-1) = -2

c = -2

So the values are:

b = 1
a = -1
c = -2
d = -1
