Hi,
The like terms are 2xy, -xy and (1/2)xy, since they have the same variables and powers.
Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:
Let
. We have that
if and only if we can find scalars
such that
. This can be translated to the following equations:
1. 
2.
3. 
Which is a system of 3 equations a 2 variables. We can take two of this equations, find the solutions for
and check if the third equationd is fulfilled.
Case (2,6,6)
Using equations 1 and 2 we get


whose unique solutions are
, but note that for this values, the third equation doesn't hold (3+2 = 5
6). So this vector is not in the generated space of u and v.
Case (-9,-2,5)
Using equations 1 and 2 we get


whose unique solutions are
. Note that in this case, the third equation holds, since 3(3)+2(-2)=5. So this vector is in the generated space of u and v.
Answer:
x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: he should invest $16129 today.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let $P represent the initial amount that should be invested today. It means that principal,
P = $P
It would be compounded annually. This means that it would be compounded once in a year. So
n = 1
The rate at which the principal would be compounded is 7.6%. So
r = 7.6/100 = 0.076
The duration of the investment would be 6 years. So
t = 6
The formula for compound interest is
A = P(1+r/n)^nt
A = total amount in the account at the end of t years.
A = 25000
Therefore
25000 = P(1+0.076/1)^1×6
25000 = P(1.076)^6
25000 = 1.55P
P = 25000/1.55
P = $16129
I believe the answer is 48 ... hope this helps
