- A carpenter charges a fixed fee for labour and an additional fee per hour for materials. The total cost for a 4 hour job is sh 1200 and the total cost for an 8 hour job is sh 2200. Determine the fixed labour fee and the hourly rate for materialsarrow_forwardQuestion 7: Find a matrix Ps which can be used as a premultiplier an arbitrary 5 x n matrix A to effect the following changes in A: Row 1 becomes Row 3 + 2 Row 5 Row 2 becomes Row 5+ Row I Row 3 becomes 2 Row 2 + 3 Row 4 Row 4 becomes Row 1 + Row 5 Row 5 becomes Row 2 + Row 3 + Row 4arrow_forward"P3 Question 3: Construct the accessibility matrix Passociated with the following graphs, and compute P2 and identify each at the various two-step paths in the graph Ps P₁ P₂arrow_forward
- A cable television company estimates that with x thousand subscribers, its monthly revenue and cost (in thousands of dollars) are given by the following equations. R(x) = 45x - 0.24x2 C(x) = 257 + 13xarrow_forwardCompare the interest earned from #1 (where simple interest was used) to #5 (where compound interest was used). The principal, annual interest rate, and time were all the same; the only difference was that for #5, interest was compounded quarterly. Does the difference in interest earned make sense? Select one of the following statements. a. No, because more money should have been earned through simple interest than compound interest. b. Yes, because more money was earned through simple interest. For simple interest you earn interest on interest, not just on the amount of principal. c. No, because more money was earned through simple interest. For simple interest you earn interest on interest, not just on the amount of principal. d. Yes, because more money was earned when compounded quarterly. For compound interest you earn interest on interest, not just on the amount of principal.arrow_forwardReduce the matrix to reduced row-echelon form.

- Compare and contrast the simple and compound interest formulas. Which one of the following statements is correct? a. Simple interest and compound interest formulas both yield principal plus interest, so you must subtract the principal to get the amount of interest. b. Simple interest formula yields principal plus interest, so you must subtract the principal to get the amount of interest; Compound interest formula yields only interest, which you must add to the principal to get the final amount. c. Simple interest formula yields only interest, which you must add to the principal to get the final amount; Compound interest formula yields principal plus interest, so you must subtract the principal to get the amount of interest. d. Simple interest and compound interest formulas both yield only interest, which you must add to the principal to get the final amount.arrow_forwardSara would like to go on a vacation in 5 years and she expects her total costs to be $3000.
