Ax = b: a = (−1 −3 2 1 1 0 −3 −3 2 ) b = ( 2 0 −2 )x = ( x1 x2 x3 ) (a) (2 pts) write down the augmented matrix (a|b). (b) (4 pts) use gauss-jordan elimination to find the reduced row echelon form (rref) of the augmented matrix. (c) (2 pts) what is the rank of a? what is the rank of (a|b) (d) (2 pts) state whether the system is consistent or inconsistent. state how many solutions the system has; if there is/are a solution/s, write it/them down.

step-by-step explanation:

answer: c, the green line

step-by-step explanation:

there is no black line, eliminate b.

simple interest implies periodic payments, but the red line shows no payments, eliminate d.

simple interest has equal payments. if paid say every day, the graph is about a straight line (actually a stairstep).

the yellow line is not straight, eliminate a.

check: the green line is straight, answer is c.

simple interest with positive interest rate gives a straight line sloping up to the right. green line:

g(t) = $100 + ($200-$100) ÷ (20 years) × (t years)

= $100 + (4%/year) × ($100)(t years)

incidentally, the yellow line curving upward represents continuously compounded interest

y = $100 × 2^(t years / (14 assuming the yellow line hits $200 at 14 years. 2^0 is 1, so y(0) = $100; 2^(14/14) is 2, so y(14) = $200.

45.36 feet per second

step-by-step explanation:

tyrone travels 30 miles in 58.2 minutes.  

1 mile = 5280 feet; this means he travels

30(5280) = 158400 feet in 58.2 minutes.

1 minute = 60 seconds; this means he travels 158400 feet in

58.2(60) = 3492 seconds.

this gives us the unit rate of

158400/3492 = 45.36 feet per second.
