What is "a" if B=
is a singular matrix
| 2
2 a​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of a=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the matrix

[tex]B=\begin{pmatrix}1\:&\:2\:\\ \:\:\:2\:&\:a\end{pmatrix}[/tex]

A matrix is singular if its determinent is zero.

so solving the matrix B by taking its determinant to get the value a

[tex]\det \begin{pmatrix}1&2\\ 2&a\end{pmatrix}=0[/tex]

as according to determinant formula

[tex]\det \begin{pmatrix}a\:&\:b\:\\ c\:&\:d\:\end{pmatrix}\:=\:ad-bc[/tex]

 [tex]1\cdot \:a-2\cdot \:2=0[/tex]    

  [tex]a-4=0[/tex]

   [tex]a=4[/tex]          

Therefore, the value of a=4

Anna is x years old, her sister Jane is y years younger. What will the sum of there ages be in 3 years. SORRY IM DUMB

Answers

You are not dumb. No one is dumb. Einstein failed math in high school.

Anna is x years old.

Jane is y years younger.

This means the Jane is x - y years old.

In three years, Anna will be x + 3 years old.

In three years, Jane will be (x - y) + 3 years old.

Let S = the sum of their ages in 3 years.

S = x + 3 + (x - y) + 3

S = 2x + 6 - y

what is an equation of the line that passes through the points (-2,-7) and (-1,-3)

Answers

Answer:

y=4x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to solve for slope using the equation:

y2-y1/x2-x1

It doesn't matter what point is 1 or what point is 2. Lets just say that (-2,-7) is point 1, and (-1,-3) is point 2.

(-3)-(-7)/(-1)-(-2)=-4/-1=4

Next you find the y-intercept. To do this you can plug in plug in everything we know into the equation: y=mx+b, and solve for b.

(Lets use point one)

-7=4(-2)+b

-7=--8+b

1=b

Last we can put it all together.

y=4x+1

1. Express 0.00456 in standard form.

Answers

Answer:

Writing a number in standard form simply means to express the number in its 'normal' form. Therefore, your example is written in standard form.

Answer: 4.56 x 10^-3

Step-by-step explanation: To convert scientific notation to standard form, all you have to do is move the decimal to the left or the right until you get a number that is more than 1 and less than 10, then count however many spaces you had to move and add that as your exponent over 10 (if you move left, the exponent is positive, and right is negative). Basically, this just lets you know that the actual number is that many times smaller or larger than the number in your answer.

If (4,-3) is the midpoint of the line segment ST and the coordinates of S are (1,5), find the
coordinates of T.

Answers

Answer:

[tex](7,-11)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]S = (1,5)[/tex]

[tex]M = (4,-3)[/tex]

Required

Determine the coordinates of T

Midpoint is calculated as:

[tex]M(x,y) = \frac{1}{2}(x_1 +x_2,y_1+y_2)[/tex]

Where:

[tex](x,y) = (4,-3)[/tex]

[tex](x_1,y_1) = (1,5)[/tex]

Substitute these values in the above formula:

[tex](4,-3) = \frac{1}{2}(1 + x_2,5+y_2)[/tex]

Multiply through by 2

[tex]2 * (4,-3) = 2 * \frac{1}{2}(1 + x_2,5+y_2)[/tex]

[tex](8,-6) = (1 + x_2,5+y_2)[/tex]

By direct comparison:

[tex]1 + x_2 = 8[/tex] and [tex]5 + y_2 = -6[/tex]

Solving for x2

[tex]1 + x_2 = 8[/tex]

[tex]x_2 = 8 - 1[/tex]

[tex]x_2 = 7[/tex]

Solving for y2

[tex]5 + y_2 = -6[/tex]

[tex]y_2 = -6 - 5[/tex]

[tex]y_2 = -11[/tex]

Hence, the coordinates of T is: [tex](7,-11)[/tex]

A long year-end status report for work is 81 pages long. You need to print 12 copies for a meeting next week. How much is the paper going to cost for those reports? Paper is sold in reams (500 pages) for $3.96 each.

Give your answer to the nearest cent, only for the paper you use (partial reams are OK)

Answers

Answer:

770cents

Step-by-step explanation:

If a report is 81 pages long, 12 copies will be (81 * 12)pages long

12copies = 972 pages long

If 500 pages costs $3.96 each

972 pages will cost $x

Cross multiply

500x = 972 * 3.96

500x = 3,849.12

x = 3,849.12/500

x = 7.69824

Hence the cost of the reports is $7.69824

Convert to cents;

$1 = 100cents

$7.69824 = y

y = 7.69824 * 100

y = 769.824 cents

y ≈ 770 cents (to the nearest cent.)

Hence the paper is going to cost 770cents (to the nearest cent)

The time to failure (in hours) of fans in a personal computer can be modeled by an exponential distribution with l=0.0003
a. What proportion of the fans will last at least 10,000 hours?
b. What proportion of the fans will last at most 7000 hours?

Answers

Answer: 0.0497870 ; 0.87754

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

λ = 0.0003

Defining a continuous distribution function :

F(x) = 1 - e^-λx = 1 - e^-0.0003x ; x ≥ 0

a. What proportion of the fans will last at least 10,000 hours?

P(x ≥ 10000) = e^-0.0003(10000) = 0.0497870

b. What proportion of the fans will last at most 7000 hours?

P(x ≥ 7000) = 1 - p(x ≤ 7000) = 1 - e^-0.0003(7000)

A rectangular prism has dimensions of 2 cm by 2 cm by 5 cm. What is its surface area? Explain also and thanks if anyone answers my question!

Answers

Answer:

The surface area is 48cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Dimension: 2cm by 2cm by 5cm

Shape: Rectangular Prism

Required

Determine its Surface Area (A)

This is calculated as thus:

[tex]A = 2(lw + lh + hw)[/tex]

Where l, w and h are the dimensions of the given shape:

We can say:

[tex]l = length = 2cm[/tex]

[tex]w=width = 2cm[/tex]

[tex]h=height=5cm[/tex]

So:

[tex]A = 2(2 * 2 + 2 * 5 + 5 * 2)[/tex]

[tex]A = 2(4 + 10 + 10)[/tex]

[tex]A = 2(24)[/tex]

[tex]A = 2 * 24[/tex]

[tex]A = 48[/tex]

Hence, the surface area is 48cm^2
