(a) Let A be an nxn matrix, and let B and C be nxp matrices. What conditions on A, B and C guarantee that the cancellation law holds? (The cancellation law is that AB AC implies B = C.)
(b) Give an example of matrices A, B and C for which the cancellation law does not hold.

Answers

Answer 1

The cancellation law for matrices states that if AB = AC, and A is an invertible matrix, then B = C. However, if A is not invertible, the cancellation law does not necessarily hold.

a)To determine the conditions on A, B, and C that guarantee the cancellation law, we must consider the rank of A.

If A has full rank (i.e., rank(A) = n), then the cancellation law holds. This is because a matrix with full rank has a trivial null space, and therefore, if AB = AC, we can left-multiply both sides by A-¹ to obtain B = C.

If A does not have full rank, then the cancellation law may not hold. In particular, if rank(A) < n, then there exist non-zero vectors x and y such that Ax = 0 and A(y+x) = Ay,

which implies that B(y+x) = C(y+x) and hence, B ≠ C.

Therefore, the condition for the cancellation law to hold is that the matrix A has full rank.

b)An example of matrices A,B and C for which the cancellation law does not hold is

A = [1 1 1  1 1 1  1 1 1]

B = [100  010  001]

C = [010  001  100]

We can verify that AB = AC, but B ≠ C.

AB = [1 1 1  1 1 1  1 1 1] [100 010 001] = [1 1 1  1 1 1  1 1 1]

AC = [1 1 1  1 1 1  1 1 1] [010 001 100] = [1 1 1  1 1 1  1 1 1]

However, B = [1 0 0  0 1 0  0 0 1] and C = [0 1 0  0 0 1  1 0 0] are not equal. Therefore, the cancellation law does not hold for these matrices.

You work for a city department which is hosting a 5 kilometer run. Your coworker measured the course and doing that it is only 4.75 kilometers long. He ask you to move the finish line forward 0.25 kilometers. Your tape measure is measured in feet and inches. What is the distance he asked you to move in line in the nearest foot?

Answers

Answer:

820 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the rule of three in this scenario since this is a ratio problem with one unknown. To do this we simply multiply the diagonal values and divide by the final value. We know that there are a total of 3280.84 ft in a single kilometer, therefore...

1 km  ==  3280.84 ft

0.25 == x

(0.25 * 3280.84) / 1 = 820.21

Now we can see that there are 820.21 ft in the 0.25 kilometers. If we round this to the nearest foot we would round down to a total of 820 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

11). b. Internal dimensions of the rectangular prism are,

         Length = 40 cm

         Width = 20 cm

         Height = 35 cm

         Volume of the rectangular prism = Length × Width × Height

                                                                 = 40 × 20 × 35

                                                                 = 28000 cm³

          Since, 1 cm³ = 1 mL

          Therefore, 28000 cm³ = 28000 mL

          Since, 1000 mL = 1 L

          28000 mL = 28 L

Miles and Lucy decide to sell lemonade to earn some money. They buy pitchers, ice, and mix for a cost of $13.50. The mix makes 8 quarts of lemonade. They decide to sell one cup of lemonade for $0.75. If they sell all 8 quarts, how much revenue will they make and will they make enough to earn $12 each? (4c=1q)

Answers

Answer:

Altogether they made $24 which is enough to earn $12 each

Step-by-step explanation:

Important information:

1 cup: $0.75

4 cups = 1 quart

8 quarts of lemonade altogether

If we are looking to solve for the revenue earned based on quarts, we must first solve for how much money they make on 1 quart

Since 1 cup sells for $0.75 and 4 cups makes up a quart, we must multiply

0.75 × 4 = 3

They make $3 per 1 quart

We are looking for the amount for 8 quarts though, not just 1. Again we must multiply

3 × 8 = 24

They will make $24 if they sell all 8 quarts

The questions ask if they will each earn $12

Since there are two of them, Miles and Lucy, we must divide revenue earned by 2, the number of people

24 ÷ 2 = 12

$12

Answer:

0.056

Step-by-step explanation:

7*8 is 56 right

looking at 0.7 how many numbers are before that dot

1 right which is seven

then 0.08 has how many digits before the dot thing

2 right which is 0 and 8

in total making three

then in 56 move three times forward from behind

1  5.6

2  0.56

3  0.056

and thats how we got this

dont confuse this technique with numbers like 0.80

the zero at the end of that number is not needed

that is to say that

0.80 = 0.8

when theres a zero at the back of a decimal its not counted

e.g

0.50= 0.5

Answer:

x = -6 and x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation (x + 2) (x + 3) = 12

Equate to zero;

(x + 2) (x + 3) - 12 = 0

Expand

x^2+3x+2x+6-12 = 0

x^2+5x - 6  = 0

Factorize

x^2 + 6x - x - 6 = 0

x(x+6)-1(x+6) = 0

(x+6)(x-1) = 0

x+6 = 0 and x -1 = 0

x = -6 and x = 1
