Even as Americans increasingly view a college education as essential for success, many believe that a college education is becoming less available to qualified students. Exercises 23–24 are based on the data displayed by the graphs.
The data displayed by the graph at the bottom of the previous page indicate that in 2000, 45% of U.S. adults believed most qualified students get to attend college. For the period from 2000 through 2010, the percentage who believed that a college education is available to most qualified students decreased by approximately 1.7 each year. If this trend continues, by which year will only 11% of all American adults believe that most qualified students get to attend college?

Enterarrow_forwardYou are given a plane Π in R3 defined by two vectors, p1 and p2, and a subspace W in R3 spanned by twovectors, w1 and w2. Your task is to project the plane Π onto the subspace W.First, answer the question of what the projection matrix is that projects onto the subspace W and how toapply it to find the desired projection. Second, approach the task in a different way by using the Gram-Schmidtmethod to find an orthonormal basis for subspace W, before then using the resulting basis vectors for theprojection. Last, compare the results obtained from both methodsarrow_forward

- Q1: A: Let M and N be two subspace of finite dimension linear space X, show that if M = N then dim M = dim N but the converse need not to be true. B: Let A and B two balanced subsets of a linear space X, show that whether An B and AUB are balanced sets or nor. Q2: Answer only two A:Let M be a subset of a linear space X, show that M is a hyperplane of X iff there exists ƒ€ X'/{0} and a € F such that M = (x = x/f&x) = x}. fe B:Show that every two norms on finite dimension linear space are equivalent C: Let f be a linear function from a normed space X in to a normed space Y, show that continuous at x, E X iff for any sequence (x) in X converge to Xo then the sequence (f(x)) converge to (f(x)) in Y. Q3: A:Let M be a closed subspace of a normed space X, constract a linear space X/M as normed space B: Let A be a finite dimension subspace of a Banach space X, show that A is closed.

The flow rates of these streams are not yet known and thus to be found. The combined water inflow from the streams is 300 m³/h. The rate of Stream A is three times the combined rates of Stream B and Stream C. The rate of Stream B is 50 m³/h less than half of the difference between the rates of Stream A and Stream C. Find the flow rates of the three streams by setting up an equation system Ax = b and solving it for x. Provide the values of A and b. Assuming that you get to an upper-triangular matrix U using an elimination matrix E such that U = E A, provide also the components of E.arrow_forward
