The inverse of a 2x2 can be done as follows: For matrix, A= |a b| |c d| The inverse A-1= |d -b| |-c a| / (ad-bc) For example: If A= |4 5| |6 7| A-1 = |7 -5| |-6 4| / (28-30) = |-3.5 2.5| |3 -2| Check: |4 5| |-3.5 2.5| |6 7| |3 -2| = |1 0| |0 1|

What is the cube root of 64? You won't need decimals. It is an integer. The ratio of corresponding linear dimensions of similarly shaped volumes is the cube root of the volume ratio.

a = angular acceleration I = rotational inertia w = angular velocity v = linear velocity Torque = RxFT = Ia so, a = RxFT/I = (R/I)(4t-0.10t^2) w = integral(a) with respect to t v= wR

Use linear approximation, i.e. the tangent line, to approximate 1.6^3 as follows: Let f(x) = x ^3. The equation of the tangent line to f(x) at x = 2 can be written as y=12x-16 Using this, we find our approximation for 1.6 ^3 is ???????

We need to know if the question is 3+(1/7)x +5x=453/7 which is a linear equation, or 3+1/(7x) +5x=453/7 which is a quadratic equation. Parentheses are necessary when you transcribe fractions to a single line.

equations one is a point. Equation 3 has no solution. Equation 2 is not in x at all. So what does Linear equation mean? Most agree it is a polynomial equation of degree one. Are any of the above polynomials?

One pattern that I see is the number of letters in the toy name. The pattern is not absolutely linear. But regardless, the more expensive the toy the longer the name.

Some bacteria are propelled by motors that spin hair-like flagella. A typical bacterial motor turning at a constant angular velocity has a radius of 1.9x10-8m, and a tangential speed at the rim of 2.7x10-5 m/s. (a) What is the angular speed (the magnitude of the angular ...
