A vector x orthogonal to the row space of A, and a vector y orthogonal to column space, and a vector z orthogonal to the null space. The orthogonal vector is :

A = [tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&2&1\\2&1&0\\1&-2&2\end{array}\right][/tex]

The orthogonal complement of the subspace V contains any vector perpendicular to V. This orthogonal subspace is denoted V⊥. (pronounced "V perp").

By this definition, null space is the orthogonal complement of row space. Every x perpendicular to the line satisfies Ax = 0 and lies in null space.

It involves selecting 35 candies from a bag containing 20 strawberry, 20 cherry, and 10 orange Starburst candies. X is the number of strawberry candies selected. X has a hypergeometric distribution, with possible values from 0 to 20. P(X > 18) is 0.0125, and probability mass function P(X = 3) is 0.0783. The expected value of X is 14, and the variance of X is approximately 5.67.

X has a hypergeometric distribution with parameters M=40 (20+20), N=50 (20+20+10), and n=35.

X can take on values from 0 to 20, since there are only 20 strawberry candies in the bag.

Using the cumulative distribution function for the hypergeometric distribution, we have P(X > 18) = 0.0125.

Using the probability mass function for the hypergeometric distribution, we have P(X = 3) = 0.0783.

The expected value of X is E[X] = np = 35(20/50) = 14.

Alberto's statement is flawed because all squares can be called rectangles, but not vice versa

Alberto's reasoning is flawed because all squares can be called rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.

While it is true that squares meet the definition of rectangles, not all rectangles meet the definition of squares.

A square is a special type of rectangle with all sides equal in length.

Therefore, Alberto's argument violates the logical concept of implication, where the truth of one proposition (squares can be called rectangles) does not necessarily imply the truth of the converse (all rectangles must be called squares).

Answer:

the question is incomplete, so I looked for similar questions:

There are 3 sandwiches, 4 drinks, and 2 desserts to choose from.

the answer = 3 x 4 x 2 = 24 possible combinations

Explanation:

for every sandwich that we choose, we have 4 options of drinks and 2 options of desserts = 1 x 4 x 2 = 8 different options per type of sandwich

since there are 3 types of sandwiches, the total options for lunch specials = 8 x 3 = 24

If the numbers are different, all we need to do is multiply them. E.g. if instead of 3 sandwiches there were 5 and 3 desserts instead of 2, the total combinations = 5 x 4 x 3 = 60.

For this question's answer, there are 2 x 5 = 10 lunch specials are possible.

The number of lunch specials possible are 10.

We can use combinations for this case,

Total number of distinguishable things is m.

Out of those m things, k things are to be chosen such that their order doesn't matter.

This can be done in total of

[tex]^mC_k = \dfrac{m!}{k! \times (m-k)!} ways.[/tex]

If the order matters, then each of those choice of k distinct items would be permuted k! times.

So, total number of choices in that case would be:

[tex]^mP_k = k! \times ^mC_k = k! \times \dfrac{m!}{k! \times (m-k)!} = \dfrac{m!}{ (m-k)!}\\\\^mP_k = \dfrac{m!}{ (m-k)!}[/tex]

This is called permutation of k items chosen out of m items (all distinct).

We are given that;

Number of sandwiches=2

Number of drinks=5

Now,

To find the total number of lunch specials, we need to multiply the number of choices for sandwiches by the number of choices for drinks.

Number of sandwich choices = 2

Number of drink choices = 5

Total number of lunch specials = 2 x 5 = 10

Therefore, by combinations and permutations there are 10 possible lunch specials.

Answer:

y=9/x  => proportional

y = x - 12 ==> non-proportional

h = 3d ==> proportional

f = 1/3 e = proportional

Step-by-step explanation:

A proportional equation is of the general form

y = kx (directly proportional) or

y = k/x  (inversely proportional)

k is known as the constant of proportionality

y = 9/x ==> k = 9  proportional
y = x - 12  cannot be expressed as y = kx or y = k/x

h = 3d ==> k = 3  proportional

f = 1/3 e ==> k = 1/3   proportional

The value of error term E(x,y) = 8x^2 - 8x - 56.

The definition of differentiability states that a function f(x,y) is differentiable at a point (a,b) if there exists a linear function L(x,y) such that:

f(x,y) - f(a,b) = L(x,y) + E(x,y)

where E(x,y) is an error term that approaches 0 as (x,y) approaches (a,b).

In the case of the function f(x,y) = 8x^2 - 8y, we want to find E(x,y) at the point (-1,-7).

First, we need to calculate f(-1,-7):

f(-1,-7) = 8(-1)^2 - 8(-7) = 56

Next, we need to find the linear function L(x,y) that approximates f(x,y) near (-1,-7). To do this, we can use the gradient of f(x,y) at (-1,-7):

∇f(-1,-7) = (16,-8)

The linear function L(x,y) is given by:

L(x,y) = f(-1,-7) + ∇f(-1,-7) · (x+1, y+7)

where · denotes the dot product.

Substituting the values, we get:

L(x,y) = 56 + (16,-8) · (x+1, y+7)

= 56 + 16(x+1) - 8(y+7)

= 8x - 8y

Finally, we can calculate the error term E(x,y) as:

E(x,y) = f(x,y) - L(x,y) - f(-1,-7)

= 8x^2 - 8y - (8x - 8y) - 56

= 8x^2 - 8x - 56

Therefore, the error term E(x,y) for the function f(x,y) = 8x^2 - 8y at the point (-1,-7) is E(x,y) = 8x^2 - 8x - 56.

The slope of the graph f(x) = 3x² + 7 at (-2, 19) is -12

The slope of a graph is the derivative of the graph at that point.

Since we have tha graph f(x) = 3x² + 7 and we want to find its slope at the point (-2, 19).

To find the slope of the graph, we differentiate with respect to x, since the derivative is the value of the slope at the point.

So,  f(x) = 3x² + 7

Differentiating with respect to x,we have

df(x)/dx = d(3x² + 7)/dx

= d3x²/dx + d7/dx

= 6x + 0

= 6x

dy/dx = f'(x) = 6x

At (-2, 19), we have x = -2.

So, the slope f'(x) = 6x

f'(-2) = 6(-2)

= -12

Answer:

The area of a semicircle with diameter 28 cm is 98π cm², or 307.88 cm² to the nearest tenth.

Step-by-step explanation:

A semicircle is a two-dimensional shape that is exactly half of a circle.

The area of a circle is given by the formula:

[tex]\sf A=\pi r^2[/tex]

where A is the area of the circle, and r is the radius of the circle.

The diameter of a circle is twice its radius.

Given the diameter of the semicircle is 28 cm, the radius is:

[tex]\sf r = \dfrac{28}{2} = 14 \; cm[/tex]

Substituting this into the formula for the area of a circle, we get:

[tex]\sf A = \pi(14)^2[/tex]

[tex]\sf A = 196 \pi[/tex]

Finally, divide this by two to get the area of the semicircle:

[tex]\sf Area\;of\;semicircle = \dfrac{1}{2} \cdot 196 \pi[/tex]

[tex]\sf Area\;of\;semicircle = 98 \pi\; cm^2[/tex]

So the area of a semicircle with diameter 28 cm is 98π cm², or 307.88 cm² to the nearest tenth.

Answer:

5 as a percentage of 100 is 5/100 which is 5%

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start by assuming that the relationship between the ticket price and attendance is linear, so we can write the equation for the line that connects the two data points we have:

Point 1: (9, 23000)

Point 2: (7, 30000)

The slope of the line can be calculated as:

slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

slope = (30000 - 23000) / (7 - 9)

slope = 3500

So the equation for the line is:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 23000 = 3500(x - 9)

y = 3500x - 28700

Now we can use this equation to find the attendance for any ticket price. To maximize revenue, we need to find the ticket price that generates the highest revenue. Revenue is simply the product of attendance and ticket price:

R = P*A

R = P(3500P - 28700)

R = 3500P^2 - 28700P

To find the ticket price that maximizes revenue, we need to take the derivative of the revenue equation and set it equal to zero:

dR/dP = 7000P - 28700 = 0

7000P = 28700

P = 4.10

So the ticket price that would maximize revenue is $4.10. However, we need to make sure that this price is within a reasonable range, so we should check that the attendance at this price is between 23,000 and 30,000:

A = 3500(4.10) - 28700

A = 5730

Since 23,000 < 5,730 < 30,000, we can conclude that the ticket price that would maximize revenue is $4.10.

To obtain the required equation we divide the equation by sin²Ø.

The first six functions are trigonometric, with the domain value being the angle of a right triangle and the range being a number. The angle, expressed in degrees or radians, serves as the domain and the range of the trigonometric function (sometimes known as the "trig function") of f(x) = sin. Like with all other functions, we have the domain and range. In calculus, geometry, and algebra, trigonometric functions are often utilised.

The given equation is:

sin²Ø+cos²Ø=1

To obtain the required equation we divide the equation with sin²Ø:

sin²Ø/sin²Ø +cos²Ø/ sin²Ø = 1/sin²Ø

1 + cot²Ø = csc²Ø

Hence, to obtain the required equation we divide the equation by sin²Ø.

c) They achieve an interval estimate that would better serve their planning needs is depends on margin of error

d) The number of days worth of data should they collect to have confidence of estimating the true mean to 30 days

To obtain a better estimate, the city can create a confidence interval, which is a range of values that is likely to contain the true population mean with a certain degree of confidence.

However, there are also some disadvantages to using a confidence interval. The interval estimate may be wider than a point estimate, which means that the budget planners may have to allocate a larger budget to account for the uncertainty in the estimate.

To achieve a better interval estimate, the city could increase the sample size or reduce the variability of the data. Increasing the sample size reduces the margin of error and increases the precision of the estimate.

Finally, to determine how many days' worth of data the city should collect to estimate the true mean with a certain degree of confidence, the city would need to consider the desired level of precision, the variability of the data, and the desired level of confidence.

Typically, a larger sample size will provide a more accurate estimate, but this also depends on the variability of the data. In general, a sample size of at least 30 is recommended for a reasonably accurate estimate.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Sure! Here's a number line showing the distance of 0.75 kilometers:

0 -------------|-------------|------------- 0.75 km

The "0" on the left represents the starting point (such as home), and the "|---|" in the middle represents the distance of 0.75 kilometers to the destination (such as school).

Rhiannon arrived home approximately 17 minutes earlier than Alexander.

This is the arithmetic mean and is calculated by adding a group of numbers and then dividing by the count of those numbers. For example, the average of 2, 3, 3, 5, 7, and 10 is 30 divided by 6, which is 5.

To solve this problem, we can use the formula:

time = distance / speed

a) The time it took Alexander to get home is:

time_Alexander = 14 km / 20 km/h = 0.7 hours

The time it took Rhiannon to get home is:

time_Rhiannon = 10 km / 24 km/h = 0.41667 hours

Since Rhiannon's time is smaller than Alexander's, Rhiannon arrived home earlier.

b) The time difference between their arrivals is:

time_difference = time_Alexander - time_Rhiannon = 0.7 hours - 0.41667 hours = 0.28333 hours

To convert this to minutes, we can multiply by 60:

time_difference_in_minutes = 0.28333 hours x 60 minutes/hour ≈ 17 minutes

Therefore, Rhiannon arrived home approximately 17 minutes earlier than Alexander.

Draw straight lines connecting these two points to form two perpendicular bisectors of the line segment. The intersection of these bisectors is the midpoint of the line segment.

To find the midpoint of an arc, first draw a chord that intersects the arc at two points using a straight edge. Then, using a compass, draw two circles with the same radius centered at each endpoint of the chord. The circles should intersect at two points. Draw straight lines connecting these two points to form two perpendicular bisectors of the chord. The intersection of these bisectors is the center of the circle that the arc belongs to. Draw a line from the center of the circle to the midpoint of the chord. This line will intersect the arc at its midpoint.

If T denote the number of coupons one needs to select to obtain at least one of each type., P(T > n) = ∑(-1)^x * Σ_{1≤i₁<i₂<...<iₓ≤N} P{i₁} * P{i₂} * ... * P{iₓ}

The problem of finding the probability P(T > n), where T is the number of coupons needed to obtain at least one of each type, can be solved using the principle of inclusion-exclusion.

Let S be the event that the i-th type of coupon has not yet been obtained after selecting n coupons. Then, using the complement rule, we have:

P(T > n) = P(S₁ ∩ S₂ ∩ ... ∩ Sₙ)

By the principle of inclusion-exclusion, we can write:

P(T > n) = ∑(-1)^x * Σ_{1≤i₁<i₂<...<iₓ≤N} P{i₁} * P{i₂} * ... * P{iₓ}

where the outer sum is taken over all even values of k from 0 to N, and the inner sum is taken over all sets of k distinct indices.

This formula can be computed efficiently using dynamic programming, by precomputing all values of Σ_{1≤i₁<i₂<...<iₓ≤N} P{i₁} * P{i₂} * ... * P{iₓ} for all x from 1 to N, and then using them to compute the final probability using the inclusion-exclusion formula.

In practice, this formula can be used to compute the expected number of trials needed to obtain all N types of coupons, which is simply the sum of the probabilities P(T > n) over all n.

Answer:

The total labor charges for the job are P3,500.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total labor charges for a job that takes 2 1/2 hours, we need to look at the labor charges for each hour and a half-hour fraction and add them up.

For the first hour, the charges are P1,200. For the second hour, the charges are P1,400. For the third hour (the half-hour fraction), the charges are P1,800 / 2 = P900.

So, the total labor charges for 2 1/2 hours of work are

P1,200 + P1,400 + P900 = P3,500

Therefore, the total labor charges for the job are P3,500.
