A computer store decides to increase the prices of all the items it sells by 15%. The store manager uses matrices to prepare the

new price list. Matrix A contains the unit price of each product in each category. Matrix B contains the revised price of each item in each category. How can the manager obtain the entries for Matrix B?

The manager could perform scalar multiplication on Matrix A, using the scalar 1.15.

Increasing the price by 15% would mean we are taking 100% of the value + another 15%; 100+15 = 115%; 115% = 115/100 = 1.15.

Multiplying every value in Matrix A by 1.15 will give the price raised by 15%.

The tuition costs, C, for a local community college are modeled by C(h) = 250 + 200h, where h represents the number of credit ho
pochemuha

Answer:

2.5

Step-by-step explanation: i just solved it and it was correct. 300-250=50 50 divided by 20 is 2.5. you divide it by 20 because you have to isolate h in 20h by itself. and to do that you divide 20h by 20

The equation x2 16 + y2 9 = 1 defines an ellipse, which is graphed above. in this excercise we will approximate the area of this
Citrus2011 [14]
(a) 4 
(b) y = sqrt(9 - (9/16)x^2)  
The best guess to the formula using knowledge of the general formula for an ellipse is: 
x^2/16 + y^2/9 = 1  
(a). An ellipse is reflectively symmetrical across both the major and minor axis. So if you can get the area of the ellipse in a quadrant, then multiplying that area by 4 would give the total area of the ellipse. So the factor of 4 is correct. 
 (b). The general equation for an ellipse is not suitable for a general function since it returns 2 y values for every x value. But if we restrict ourselves to just the positive value of a square root, that problem is easy to solve. So let's do so:
 x^2/16 + y^2/9 = 1
 x^2/16 + y^2/9 - 1 = 0
 x^2/16 - 1 = - y^2/9
 -(9/16)x^2 + 9 = y^2
 9 - (9/16)x^2 = y^2
 sqrt(9 - (9/16)x^2) = y
 y = sqrt(9 - (9/16)x^2)

Which equation represents the line that passes through the points (6, –3) and (–4, –9)?
Delvig [45]
(6,-3)(-4,-9)
slope(m) = (-9 -(- 3) / (-4 - 6) = (-9 + 3) / -10 = -6/-10 = 3/5

y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope(m) = 3/5
(6,-3)....x1 = 6 and y1 = -3
now we sub
y - (-3) = 3/5(x - 6) =
y + 3 = 3/5(x - 6) <==
