Suppose that a is a square matrix with characteristic polynomial (λ − 3)2(λ − 6)3(λ + 1). (a) what are the dimensions of a? (giv

e n such that the dimensions are n × n.) n = 6 correct: your answer is correct. (b) what are the eigenvalues of a? (enter your answers as a comma-separated list.) λ = 3,6,−1 correct: your answer is correct. (c) is a invertible?

The problem statement gives the correct answers for parts (a) and (b). The total number of roots of the characteristic polynomial is the dimension of the matrix: 6. The eigenvalues are the zeros of the characteristic polynomial, 3 (multiplicity 2), 6 (multiplicity 3), and -1.

(c) The matrix is not invertible when one or more eigenvalues is zero. None of yours are zero, so the matrix is invertible.

Blababa [14]

Answer:

$12159 per year.

Step-by-step explanation:

If I invest $x each year at the simple interest of 7.5%, then the first $x will grow for 35 years, the second $x will grow for 34 years and so on.

So, the total amount that will grow after 35 years by investing $x at the start of each year at the rate of 7.5% simple interest will be given by

x( 1 + \frac{35 \times 7.5}{100}) + x( 1 + \frac{34 \times 7.5}{100}) + x( 1 + \frac{33 \times 7.5}{100}) + ......... + x( 1 + \frac{1 \times 7.5}{100})

= 35x + \frac{x \times 7.5}{100} [35 + 34 + 33 + ......... + 1]

= 35x + \frac{x \times 7.5}{100} [\frac{1}{2} (35) (35 + 1)]

{Since sum of n natural numbers is given by \frac{1}{2} (n)(n + 1)}

= 35x + 47.25x

= 82.25x

Now, given that the final amount will be i million dollars = $1000000

So, 82.25x = 1000000

⇒ x = $12,158. 05 ≈ $12159

Therefore. I have to invest $12159 per year. (Answer)

How many ounces of pure nickel must be added to 150 ounces of alloy 70% pure to make an alloy which is 85% pure?
galben [10]

Answer:

150 oz.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are already 150 ounces of alloy of nickel.

Of this 150 oz, 70% is pure i.e. nickel content = 150(0.7) = 105 oz

Now available is

Nickel       Other metals

105                  45

Let x oz of pure nickel is added.

Then new alloy will have 105+x oz nickel in total of 150+x oz.

Percentage pure = \frac{105+x}{150+x} =85%

Simplify to get

\frac{105+x}{150+x} =\frac{85}{100} \\\\Cross multiply:\\85(150+x) =100(105+x)\\12750+85x =10500+100x\\100x-85x = 12750-10500\\15x = 2250\\x = 150

Hence answer is 150 oz should be added.

Eva, the owner of eva's second time around wedding dresses, currently has five dresses to be altered, shown in the order in whic
cupoosta [38]
To answer this question, an assumption must be made, that Eva spends 8 hours a day working. If this is the case, then Eva will complete jobs w, x, and v on day one, for a total of six hours. Since the next job (y) requires 4 hours, she will spend two hours working that day, leaving 2 more hours to go on that job. The next day she will spend 2 hours finishing job y, completing it, and finish the longest job z (hours) that day. This means she had 4 jobs on day one, and 2 jobs on day 2 for and average of 3 jobs per day.  
This answer assumes an 8 hour work day, and that Eva can start a job she cannot finish that day.

The population of Smalltown in the year 1890 was 6,250. Since then, it has increased at a rate of 3.75% each year. • What was th
Vikki [24]

Answer:

  • year 1915 :   15,689
  • year 1940 :  39,381

t = 137.9 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply an exponential growth function:

A = P (1 + r) t  

Where:

p = original population

r = growing rate (decimal form)

t= years

A = population after t years

Replacing with the values given:

A = 6,250 (1 + 3.75/100)^t

A = 6,250 (1 + 0.0375)^t

A = 6,250 (1.0375)^t

  • So, by the year 1915 :

1915-1890 = 25 years passed (t)

A = 6,250 (1.0375)^25

A = 15,689

  • by the year 1940 :

1940-1890 = 50 years passed (t)

A = 6,250 (1.0375)^50

A = 39,381

  • When will the population reach 1,000,000?. We have to subtitute A=1000000 and solve for t.

1,000,000= 6,250 (1.0375)^t

1,000,000/ 6,250 =(1.0375)^t

160 = 1.0375^t

log 160 = log 1.0375^t

log 160 = (t ) log 1.0375

log160 / log 1.0375= t

t = 137.9 years
