Suppose that a system of linear equations has 3×5 augmented matrix whose 5th column is a pivot column. Is the system consistent?

Anon25 [30]

No, the system is inconsistent.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the last column is a pivot column, then that row gives an equation that looks something like 0x+0y+0z=1 , meaning , 0=1. Clearly, this is false.

So, the system of linear equations is inconsistent.

Which table describes the behavior of the graph of f(x) = 2x3 – 26x – 24?

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

For x∈ {-∞,-3} y<0, below x-axis

x∈ {-3,-1} y>0, above x-axis

x∈ {-1,4} y<0, below x-axis

x∈ {4,∞} y>0, above x-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)= $2x^{3}-26x-24$

$2x^{3}-26x-24$ =0

$2x^{3}-26x-24=0\\2x^{3}-2x-24x-24=0\\2x(x^{2} -1)-24(x+1)=0\\2x(x+1)(x-1)-24(x+1)=0\\(x+1)(2x^{2} -2x-24)=0\\=> x+1=0 => x_{1}=-1\\$

$=> 2x^{2} -2x-24=0\\=>2(x^{2} -x-12)=0\\=> x^{2} -x-12=0\\=> x^{2} -4x+3x-12=0\\=> x(x-4)+3(x-4)=0\\=> (x-4)(x+3)=0\\$

$=> x-4=0\\=> x_{2}=4\\=> x+3=0\\=>x_{3}=-3\\$

For x∈ {-∞,-3} y<0, below x-axis

x∈ {-3,-1} y>0, above x-axis

x∈ {-1,4} y<0, below x-axis

x∈ {4,∞} y>0, above x-axis

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

A) Volume = (1/12)pi*h^3, with height = 5cm.

b) You should be able to differentiate V = (1/12)pi*h^3 with respect to h, and you were given dh/dt = -0.3 cm/hr.

does that make sense?

1. Kellie and her sister Ashley are training for a marathon. Kellie ran 10 mi in 75 min. Ashley ran 15 mi in 120 min. Which stat

skad [1K]

(a) Kellie’s minutes-per-mile pace was faster than Ashley’s minutes-per-mile pace.

True

10/75 = 0.14

15/120 = 0.13

(b) Kellie ran 8 mph.

True

10 ÷ 1.15 = 8

False

Speed = 7.5 mph

7.5 × 1.5 = 11.25 mi

Ms. Hamby gave a quiz. Two students’ work and the answer key are shown. Ms. Hamby accepts equivalent answers in any form.

Luden [163]

Answer:

Student A and Student B both answered 2 questions correctly.

See explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: that answers in the form:

$\frac{a}{-b}=\frac{-a}{b}=-\frac{a}{b}$

ARE ALL EQUIVALENT.

First of all, 4/5 is equivalent to 0.8 if we do long division.

and 19/20 is 0.95 if we do long division.

Now, Student A:

Both of the fractions are correct and the negative sign is equivalent and makes the answer correct, so both are correct.

For Student B:

Similarly, both answers are correct for this student as well, looking at the equivalence we showed first.

Also, "-" (negative) in front of the parenthesis and inside parenthesis here doesn't matter.

Hence,

Student A and Student B both answered 2 questions correctly.
