The slope is -2. In context to this problem, the candle will burn away 2cm of its length every hour.
The question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows:
Solve for X. Assume X is a 2x2 matrix and I denotes the 2x2 identity matrix. Do not use decimal numbers in your answer. If there are fractions, leave them unevaluated.
· X·
=<em>I</em>.
First, we have to identify the matrix <em>I. </em>As it was said, the matrix is the identiy matrix, which means
<em>I</em> =
So,
· X·
= ![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0\\0&1\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D1%260%5C%5C0%261%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Isolating the X, we have
X·
=
- ![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0\\0&1\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D1%260%5C%5C0%261%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Resolving:
X·
= ![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2-1&8-0\\-6-0&-9-1\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D2-1%268-0%5C%5C-6-0%26-9-1%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
X·
=![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&8\\-6&-10\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D1%268%5C%5C-6%26-10%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Now, we have a problem similar to A.X=B. To solve it and because we don't divide matrices, we do X=A⁻¹·B. In this case,
X=
⁻¹·![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&8\\-6&-10\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D1%268%5C%5C-6%26-10%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Now, a matrix with index -1 is called Inverse Matrix and is calculated as: A . A⁻¹ = I.
So,
·
=![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0\\0&1\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D1%260%5C%5C0%261%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
9a - 3b = 1
7a - 6b = 0
9c - 3d = 0
7c - 6d = 1
Resolving these equations, we have a=
; b=
; c=
and d=
. Substituting:
X=
·![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&8\\-6&-10\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D1%268%5C%5C-6%26-10%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Multiplying the matrices, we have
X=![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}\frac{8}{11} &\frac{26}{11} \\\frac{39}{11}&\frac{198}{11} \end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D%5Cfrac%7B8%7D%7B11%7D%20%26%5Cfrac%7B26%7D%7B11%7D%20%5C%5C%5Cfrac%7B39%7D%7B11%7D%26%5Cfrac%7B198%7D%7B11%7D%20%20%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Answer:
4,6,8
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = 1st even integer
x+2 =2nd even integer
x+4 =3nd even integer
x+ x+2 + x+4 = 18
Combine like terms
3x+6 = 18
Subtract 6 from each side
3x+6-6=18-6
3x= 12
Divide by 3
3x/3 =12/3
x = 4
x+2 = 6
x+4 = 8
Answer:5√(3)z^9
Step-by-step explanation:
Square root of 75z^18
√(75z^18)
√(75) x √(z^18)
√(25x3) x (z^18)^(1/2)
√(25) x √(3) x z^(18x1/2)
5 x √(3) x z^9
5√(3)z^9
