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%.
Step-by-step explanation:

The simplest method is "brute force". Calculate each term and add them up.
∑ = 3(1) + 3(2) + 3(3) + 3(4) + 3(5)
∑ = 3 + 6 + 9 + 12 + 15
∑ = 45

∑ = (2×1)² + (2×2)² + (2×3)² + (2×4)²
∑ = 4 + 16 + 36 + 64
∑ = 120

∑ = (2×3−10) + (2×4−10) + (2×5−10) + (2×6−10)
∑ = -4 + -2 + 0 + 2
∑ = -4
4. 1 + 1/4 + 1/16 + 1/64 + 1/256
This is a geometric sequence where the first term is 1 and the common ratio is 1/4. The nth term is:
a = 1 (1/4)ⁿ⁻¹
So the series is:

5. -5 + -1 + 3 + 7 + 11
This is an arithmetic sequence where the first term is -5 and the common difference is 4. The nth term is:
a = -5 + 4(n−1)
a = -5 + 4n − 4
a = 4n − 9
So the series is:

Answer:
The 89th term would be 895.
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a pattern of adding 10 each time. Notice that the 5 at the end doesn't change and that the first number continues (i.e. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). All you have to do is add an 89 in front of the 5 and that is your answer, 895.
Complex solutions, namely roots with a √(-1) or "i" in it, never come all by their lonesome, because an EVEN root like the square root, can have two roots that will yield the same radicand.
a good example for that will be √(4), well, (2)(2) is 4, so 2 is a root, but (-2)(-2) is also 4, therefore -2 is also a root, so you'd always get a pair of valid roots from an even root, like 2 or 4 or 6 and so on.
therefore, complex solutions or roots are never by their lonesome, their sister the conjugate is always with them, so if there's a root a + bi, her sister a - bi is also coming along too.
if complex solutions come in pairs, well, clearly a cubic equation can't yield 3 only.
The answer
the table is
x 0 1 4 5 7
y 3 1 0 -2 -2
<span>the approximate line of best fit to be y = –0.7x + 2.36
so when the value of x=5, the residual value is
</span><span>y = –0.7(5) + 2.36 = -1.14 this is the actual value
the predicted value is -2 (for x=5)
and residual value formula is RS = y actual value - y predicted value
so RS = -1.14 - (-2) = 0.86
