Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember, the rank of a matrix is the number of pivots or number of rows different of zero in the echelon form of the matrix.
Then, if A is a matrix the maximum number of pivots that can have is one by row, that is, 5.
Then the maximum rank that A can have is 5.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for <u>exponential growth</u> is y = ab^x.
To write this equation, we know it has to start with 48 (which is the variable a). We need to add the rate of growth. This is 11/6 (which is variable b). But we also need to account for the "every 3.5 years" part, so divide the x as an exponent by 3.5.
N(t) = 48 * 11/6^(t/3.5)
This equation is easy to test, and it's a good idea to test it after you write it. For example, after 3.5 years we know that it should have 48*11/6 branches. Does our equation work? Yes.
