Answer:

(a) 6 units

(b) 4 units

(d) 9.22 units

(e) 7.21 units

(f) 8.06 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance d from one point (x₁, y₁, z₁) to another point (x₂, y₂, z₂) is given by;

d = √[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)² + (z₂ - z₁)²]

Now from the question;

(a) The distance from (4, -7, 6) to the xy-plane

The xy-plane is the point where z is 0. i.e

xy-plane = (4, -7, 0).

Therefore, the distance d is from (4, -7, 6) to (4, -7, 0)

d = √[(4 - 4)² + (-7 - (-7))² + (0 - 6)²]

d = √[(0)² + (0)² + (-6)²]

d = √(-6)²

d = √36

d = 6

Hence, the distance to the xy plane is 6 units

(b) The distance from (4, -7, 6) to the yz-plane

The yz-plane is the point where x is 0. i.e

yz-plane = (0, -7, 6).

Therefore, the distance d is from (4, -7, 6) to (0, -7, 6)

d = √[(4 - 0)² + (-7 - (-7))² + (6 - 6)²]

d = √[(4)² + (0)² + (0)²]

d = √(4)²

d = √16

d = 4

Hence, the distance to the yz plane is 4 units

(c) The distance from (4, -7, 6) to the xz-plane

The xz-plane is the point where y is 0. i.e

xz-plane = (4, 0, 6).

Therefore, the distance d is from (4, -7, 6) to (4, 0, 6)

d = √[(4 - 4)² + (-7 - 0)² + (6 - 6)²]

d = √[(0)² + (-7)² + (0)²]

d = √[(-7)²]

d = √49

d = 7

Hence, the distance to the xz plane is 7 units

(d) The distance from (4, -7, 6) to the x axis

The x axis is the point where y and z are 0. i.e

x-axis = (4, 0, 0).

Therefore, the distance d is from (4, -7, 6) to (4, 0, 0)

d = √[(4 - 4)² + (-7 - 0)² + (6 - 0)²]

d = √[(0)² + (-7)² + (6)²]

d = √[(-7)² + (6)²]

d = √[(49 + 36)]

d = √(85)

d = 9.22

Hence, the distance to the x axis is 9.22 units

(e) The distance from (4, -7, 6) to the y axis

The x axis is the point where x and z are 0. i.e

y-axis = (0, -7, 0).

Therefore, the distance d is from (4, -7, 6) to (0, -7, 0)

d = √[(4 - 0)² + (-7 - (-7))² + (6 - 0)²]

d = √[(4)² + (0)² + (6)²]

d = √[(4)² + (6)²]

d = √[(16 + 36)]

d = √(52)

d = 7.22

Hence, the distance to the y axis is 7.21 units

(f) The distance from (4, -7, 6) to the z axis

The z axis is the point where x and y are 0. i.e

z-axis = (0, 0, 6).

Therefore, the distance d is from (4, -7, 6) to (0, 0 6)

d = √[(4 - 0)² + (-7 - (0))² + (6 - 6)²]

d = √[(4)² + (-7)² + (0)²]

d = √[(4)² + (-7)²]

d = √[(16 + 49)]

d = √(65)

d = 8.06

Hence, the distance to the z axis is 8.06 units

Determine whether each statement is true or false. If a statement is true, give a reason or cite an appropriate statement from t

Over [174]

Answer:

1) a. False, adding a multiple of one column to another does not change the value of the determinant.

2) d. True, column-equivalent matrices are matrices that can be obtained from each other by performing elementary column operations on the other.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) If the multiple of one column of a matrix A is added to another to form matrix B then we get: |A| = |B|. Here, the value of the determinant does not change. The correct option is A

a. False, adding a multiple of one column to another does not change the value of the determinant.

2) Two matrices can be column-equivalent when one matrix is changed to the other using a sequence of elementary column operations. Correc option is d.

d. True, column-equivalent matrices are matrices that can be obtained from each other by performing elementary column operations on the other.

1. Sarah has an average of 92.5 for her 3 science tests. What does she need to make on the 4th test to get a 94% average.

zheka24 [161]

1) set up a problem
you know you want to get an avg of 94 but how do you do avg in the first place. you add up the numbers then divde by the total number of numbers used lol

so $\frac{92.5+x}{2}=94$
92.5 is the avg number for the last 3 tests
"x" is the 4th test score which we want to find out
"2" is the total number of numbers being added together

so now lets get x to one side

92.5+ x=94*2 (multiply 2 to both sides)
92.5+x=188
x=188-92.5 (subtract 92.5 from both sides)
x= 95.5 this is the score she need to make to avg 94%

2) you can draw a tree diagram. for example Flower1 branches off into 3 diff greens and then each of those greens branch off into 2 for with or with babies breath.

or you can simple multiply 4*3*2. you can do this because all choices are included with no restriction

your total number of options is 24

Compare the process of solving |x – 1| + 1 < 15 to that of solving |x – 1| + 1 > 15.

kicyunya [14]

In the first case we'd subtract 1 from both sides, obtaining |x-1|<14.

In the second case we'd also subtract 1 from both sides, and would obtain
|x-1|>14.

What would the graphs look like?

In the first case, the graph would be on the x-axis with "center" at x=1. From this center count 14 units to the right, and then place a circle around that location (which would be at x=15). Next, count 14 units to the left of this center, and place a circle around that location (which would be -13). Draw a line segment connecting the two circles. Notice that all of the solutions are between -13 and +15, not including these endpoints.

In the second case, x has to be greater than 15 or less than -13. Draw an arrow from x=1 to the left, and then draw a separate arrow from 15 to the right. None of the values in between are solutions.
