Answer:

E started with 26 books, sold 13 books, bought 17 more books, and ended with 30 books

Step-by-step explanation:

E has _ books: x

E Sells 1/2 of that _ books: x/2

E buys 17 books and now had 30: (x/2) + 17 = 30

30 - 17 = 13

13 x 2 = 26

x/2 = 26

13 + 17 = 30 <-- checking work

My guess is that x = 13

A club had a total of $1,520.50 in its bank account . At a budget meeting they decide to set aside 0.12 times the total amount t

A club had a total of $1,520.50 in its bank account .

At a budget meeting they decide to set aside 0.12 times the total amount to travel.

so we have to find 0.12 times of $1,520.50

0.12 * 1520.50=182.46

so they will set aside $182.46 to travel

Let:T : ℝ3→ℝ3 be the transformation that projects each vector x=(x1,x2,x3)onto the plane

dangina [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear transformation must satisfy the following properties.

- T(0) = 0.

- For vector a,b then T(a+b) = T(a) + T(b).

- For a vector a and a scalar r, it must happen that T(ra) = rT(a)

In this case we have that T(a,b,c) = (a,0,c).

Note that T(0) = T(0,0,0) = (0,0,0) = 0. So, the first property holds.

Let $a=(a_1,a_2,a_3), b=(b_1,b_2,b_3)$ . Then

$T(a+b) = T((a_1+b_1,a_2+b_2,a_3+b_3)) = (a_1+b_1,0,a_3+b_3) = (a_1,0,a_3)+(b_1,0,b_3) = T(a) + T(b)$

So the second property holds.

Finally, let r be a scalar and let $a=(a_1,a_2,a_3)$ . Then

$T(ra) = T((ra_1,ra_2,ra_3)) = (ra_1,0,ra_3) = r(a_1,0,a_3)= rT(a)$

So, the three properties hold, and therefore, T is a linear transformation.
