You can put this solution on YOUR website!After Sam and Pat bike in opposite directions for 2&1/2 hours, they are 80km apart. If Pat's rate is 2 km/h more than Sam's rate, find how far each travels.
RELATIVE SPEED WHILE GOING IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS =SUM OF SPEEDS=
LET SAMS SPEED = S KMPH....PAT'S SPEED IS S+2 KMPH
REL.SPEED =S+S+2=2S+2=2(S+1)
DISTANCE OF SEPERATION =80 KM
TIME =2.5 HRS
SO 2.5=80/{2(S+1)}=40/(S+1)
S+1=40/2.5=16
S=16-1=15 KMPH....IN 2.5 HRS SAM GOES =15*2.5=37.5 KM
P=S+2=17 KMPH.....IN 2.5 HRS PAT GOES =17*2.5=42.5 KM

FOR 2 LINES TO BE PARALEL THEIR SLOPES SHOULD BE EQUAL
4Y=AX+2.....OR...Y=AX/4 + 2/4..................I
SLOPE=A/4
Y/5=X/4 +7..OR....Y=5X/4+7/4.....................II
SLOPE =5/4
A/4 = 5/4
A=4*5/4=5

Radicals/37099: This question is from textbook College Algebra
A.
Is (square root x)^2=x an identity (true for all nonnegitive values of x)?
please explain answer
B. For the equation x-2sqrtx=0, perform the following:
solve for all values of x that satisfies the equation
answer & show work
C. graph the functions y=x and y=2 sqrt x on the same graph as B.(by plotting points if necessary) Show the points of intersection of these two graphs.
Also could you look at this? I think I have it right but I wanna double check
A right triangle is a triangle with one angle measuring 90 degrees. In a right triangle, the sides are related by Pythagorean Theorem, c^2=a^2+b^2, where c is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the 90 degree angle). Find the hypotenuse when the other two sides' measurements are 6 feet and 8 feet.
so heres what I have:
c^2=6^+8^2
c^2=36+64
sqrt c^2= sqrt 100 c= 5 sqrt 4 1 solutions

You can put this solution on YOUR website! (1) find the exact value of sec(225degrees)=1/COS(225)=1/COS(180+45)=-1/COS(45)
=-SQRT2=-1.414
(2) In the triangle ABC, find A, if B= 100 degrees, and a=20.
DATA IS INSUFFICIENT.CHECK PROBLEM
(3) In the triangle ABC, find b, iF A=15, C=12 and angle b=150 degrees.
b^2=a^+c^2-2acCOS(B)=15^2+12^2-2*15*12COS(150)=225+144-30*COS(180-30)
=369+30COS(30)=369+30*0.866=369+25.98=394.98
b=SQRT(394.98)=19.87

I can't figure out how to solve this equation

THESE ARE DEPENDENT EQNS..HENCE YOU MIGHT BE FACING THE DIFFICULTY
HOPE YOU KNOW THE METHOD
AUGMENTED MATRIX IS
....COEF.OF X.....COEF.OF Y.....CONSTANT......UNIT MATRIX
............6.......-3..............1...........1..............0
...........-12..... .6.............-2...........0..............1
WE HAVE TO CONVERT IT NOW..
1.NEW R1=OLD R1/6
............1........-3/6...........1/6.........1/6.............0
............-12........6.............-2..........0..............1
2.NEW R2 =OLD R2+12*R1
............1.........-1/2...........1/6.........1/6.............0
............0..........0.............0............2..............1
NOW WE CANNOPT MAKE SECOND ROW ,SECOND COLUMN ELEMENT AS 1 ANY MORE AS IS NORMALLY DONE IN CONSISTENT AND INDEPENDENT EQN.
THE PRESENCE OF ZEROS IN ALL 3 COLUMNS IN SECOND ROW INDICATES THAT THE EQN.GIVEN ARE DEPENDENT .SO WE HAVE ONLY ONE INDEPENDENT EQN.IN 2 UNKNOWNS .HENCE WE SHALL NOT HAVE A UNIQUE SOLUTION.WE GET AN INFINITE SET OF ANSWERS .THEY ARE GIVEN BY FIRST ROW WHICH TELLS US THAT
1X-Y/2=1/6
SO TO GET ANY SET OF SOLUTION PUT X ANY VALUE AND FIND Y OR VICEVERSA.
SUPPOSE WE PUT X=0...THEN -Y/2=1/6...OR....Y=-2/6=-1/3...
SO SOLUTION SET IS (0,-1/3)
OR PUT X=1/6....THEN Y=0..
SO SOLUTION SET IS (*1/6,0)....ETC....
..SAME WAY WITH Y
PUT Y=0...THEN X=1/6....
SO SOLUTION SET IS (1/6,0)
IN GENERAL IF WE TAKE Y=Y..THEN 1X=Y/2+1/6 = (3Y+1)/6
SO THE SOLUTION SET IS
{(3Y+1)/6,Y}..THIS IS WHAT IS GIVEN IN YOUR BOOK.
IT MEANS PUT ANY VALUE FOR Y IN THIS SET AND THE RESULTANT NUMBERS WILL GIVE YOU A SOLUTION FOR THE GIVEN EQNS.
BUT YOU NEED NOT GIVE THIS ONLY AS AN ANSWER.FOR EX. YOU CAN PUT X=X AND THEN
X-Y/2=1/6...SO....Y/2=X-1/6....OR....Y=2X-1/3=(6X-1)/3...HENCE THE ANSWER COULD ALSO BE GIVEN AS {X,(6X-1)/3}...GOT IT?BUT YOU HAVE TO GIVE A GENERAL SOLUTION LIKE THIS AND NOT JUST 1 SET OF VALUES LIKE (0,-1/3)

Linear_Algebra/39572: Proof of a singular matrix:
I need to show (in general) that either matrix A is "singular" or "A^2 = A^(-1)". A is an n*n square matrix such that A^4 = A. I want to know how to do this problem and what happens if the exponent values are different.(for example, odd number exponents?) 1 solutions

PROCEDURE IS TO,TRANSPOSITION TO LEFT OR RIGHT SIDE OF THE EQUATION, RIGHT OR LEFT MULTIPLY BOTH SIDES OF THE EQUATION WITH A OR A^(-1),TAKING COMMON FACTORS ACCORDINGLY....NOTING THAT A^N=A*A*A*...N TIMES AND
A*A^(-1)=A^(-1)*A=I...AND A*B=0 IMPLIES A=0 OR B=0.....
IN THIS CASE WE HAVE
A^4=A
(A^4)-A=0
A(A^3-I)=0...HENCE A=0...OR.....A^3-I=0
A^3=I...MULTIPLY WITH A^-1 BOTH SIDES
A^2*A*(A^-1)=I*(A^-1)=A^-1
A^2=A^(-1)

Sequences-and-series/39635: 4) CLASSIC PROBLEM - A traveling salesman (selling shoes) stops at a farm in the Midwest. Before he could knock on the door, he noticed an old truck on fire. He rushed over and pulled a young lady out of the flaming truck. Farmer Crane came out and gratefully thanked the traveling salesman for saving his daughter’s life. Mr. Crane insisted on giving the man an award for his heroism.
So, the salesman said, “If you insist, I do not want much. Get your checkerboard and place one grain of wheat on the first square. Then place two grains of wheat on the next square. Then place four grains on the third square. Continue this until all 64 squares are covered with grains of wheat.” As he had just harvested his wheat, Mr. Crane did not consider this much of an award, but he soon realized he made a miscalculation on the amount of wheat involved.
a)How much wheat would Mr. Brown have to put on the 24nd square?
Show work in this space.
b)How much total grain would the traveling salesman receive if the checkerboard only had 24 squares?
Show work in this space
c)Calculate the amount of wheat necessary to fill the whole checkerboard (64 squares). How much wheat would the farmer need to give the salesman? Please provide the answer in either scientific notation, or calculate and show all 20 digits.

WHERE EACH NUMBER BEARS A CONSTANT RATIO TO ITS
PREDECESSOR IS CALLED GEOMETRIC PROGRESSION..HERE YOU
FIND EACH NUMBER IS OBTAINED FROM THE PREVIOUS ONE BY
MULTIPLYING WITH 2 , CALLED COMMON RATIO.
THE LAST NUMBER ON NTH. DAY AND SUM OF SUCH SERIES OF

You can put this solution on YOUR website!Please explain to me how this equation can be a function
x^2=1+y^2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PLEASE FIND BELOW EXPLANATION ON FUNCTION,RELATION AND
FUNCTION OF A FUNCTION..FROM GENERAL ENGLISH AND
MATHHEMATICALLY SPEAKING.
NOW COMING TO F O G IN ENGLISH.LET ME TRY..
FISTLY IT IS READ AS F OF G , WHERE F AND G ARE
SYMBOLS FOR DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS.
NOW WHAT IS A FUNCTION?IT IS SOME THING LIKE A
RELATION-BUT A LITTLE
MORE DEMANDING THAN THAT.LET US SEE.. SUPPOSE THE
FUNCTION F OF MEANS
FATHER OF....SAY JOHN IS FATHER OF EMMA..THEN F OF E
MEANING F OF
EMMA OR FATHER OF EMMA IN FULL....IS A FUNCTION
BECAUSE BESIDES BEING
A RELATION IT GIVES US A UNIQUE ANSWER. NAMELY JOHN
AND JOHN ONLY
...BUT JOHN'S DAUGHTER IS EMMA IS A RELATION ,AND NOT
A FUNCTION
BECAUSE THE ANSWER IS NOT UNIQUE...THERE MAY BE
ANOTHER TANYA DAUGHTER
OF JOHN...SO WE MAY GET MORE THAN ONE ANSWER.THEN IT
IS A RELATION BUT
NOT FUNCTION.GOT IT.WE GENERALLY USE SYMBOLS,F,G
ETC..TO DENOTE
FUNCTIONS.IN THE SAME PROBLEM IF WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH
MORE THAN 1
FUNCTION AS IS IN THIS PROBLEM,WE USE F & G TO DENOTE
2 DIFFERENT
FUNCTIONS.F MAY BE FATHER OF AND G MAY BE MOTHER OF
...ETC...
NEXT WHAT IS F OF G ..SAME MEANING ..IT MEANS FATHER
OF MOTHER OF SOME
BODY SPECIFIED IN THE PROBLEM SAY MARIE...SO IT MEANS
FATHER OF MOTHER
OF MARIE.THAT IS ALL TO IT.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SO IF WE WRITE THE GIVEN EQN.AS
Y^2=X^2-1
Y=SQRT(X^2-1)=+ OR - SQRT(X^2-1)
THEN WE END UP WITH 2 VALUES OF Y FOR ONE VALUE OF X .SO THE ANSWER IS NOT UNIQUE AND IT WILL NOT BE A FUNCTION.
WE CAN MAKE IT A FUNCTION BY DEFINING IT AS
Y=|SQRT(X^2-1)|

Answer 25037 by venugopalramana(3286) on 2006-05-27 01:06:51 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!How do you determine the domain and range of the following equation
y=|x-2|
DOMAIN IS THE VALUES X CAN TAKE TO MAKE THE GIVEN EXPRESSION FOR Y,A LEGALLY THAT IS MATHEMATCALLY PERMISSIBLE.CERTAIN OPERATIONS LIKE DIVISION BY ZERO,SQUARE ROOT OF A NEGATIVE NUMBER ETC.. ARE NOT PERMISSIBLE.HERE THERE ARE NO SUCH RESTRICTIONS.
HENCE DOMAIN IS ALL REAL NUMBERS .
RANGE IS THE CORRESPONDING VALUES Y WILL TAKE.HERE WE FIND THAT Y IS MOD OR ABSOLUTE VALUE OF X-2..HENCE WHETHER X IS 100 OR -100,WE ALWAYS GET Y AS POSITIVE OR ZERO.
SO RANGE OF Y IS ALL NON NEGATIVE REAL NUMBERS
