Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
This explanation mostly depends on what you're learning right now. The first way would be to convert this matrix to a system of equations like this.
g + t + k = 90
g + 2t - k = 55
-g - t + 3k = 30
Then you solve using normal methods of substitution or elimination. It seems to me that elimination is the quickest method.
g + t + k = 90
-g - t + 3k = 30
____________
0 + 0 + 4k = 120
4k = 120
k = 30
No you can plug this into the first two equations
g + t + (30) = 90
g + t = 60
and
g + 2t - (30) = 55
g + 2t = 85
now use elimination again by multiplying the first equation by -1
g + 2t = 85
-g - t = -60
_________
0 + t = 25
t = 25
Now plug those both back into one of the equations. I'll just do the first one.
g + (25) + (30) = 90
g = 35
Therefore, we know that Ted spent the least amount of time on the computer.
The second method is using matrix reduction and getting the matrix in the row echelon form, therefore solving using the gauss jordan method. If you would like me to go through this instead, please leave a comment.
2,3,4,1, the probability is in order from greatest to least. If they asked for least to greatest then, 1,4,3,2. So use the least to greatest one.
I think its B Because u have the total of pencils and how much they cost now u need to how know many pins you have to know how many they have in total
The initial fee of $50 is essentially the y intercept because this is the value when x = 0 (x is the number of labor-hours). So b = 50.
The slope is m = 30 because each increase of 1 hour leads to the cost bumping up by 30 dollars. In other words, slope = rise/run = (change in cost)/(change in hours) = 30/1
So we plug m = 30 and b = 50 into the y = mx+b formula to get y = 30x+50
Replace y with f(x) to get f(x) = 30x+50
The linear function for the cost is f(x) = 30x+50
Note: Some books may use other letters (instead of x and f(x)), but the idea is still the same
Once you know the cost function, you replace x with 4.5 to find the amount it will cost to have a painter work for 4.5 hours.
f(x) = 30x+50
f(4.5) = 30*4.5+50
f(4.5) = 135+50
f(4.5) = 185
It will cost 185 dollars to have the painter work for 4.5 hours
