Concept explainers

Percentage

A percentage is a number indicated as a fraction of 100. It is a dimensionless number often expressed using the symbol %.

Algebraic Expressions

In mathematics, an algebraic expression consists of constant(s), variable(s), and mathematical operators. It is made up of terms.

Numbers

Numbers are some measures used for counting. They can be compared one with another to know its position in the number line and determine which one is greater or lesser than the other.

Subtraction

Before we begin to understand the subtraction of algebraic expressions, we need to list out a few things that form the basis of algebra.

Addition

Before we begin to understand the addition of algebraic expressions, we need to list out a few things that form the basis of algebra.

Determine whether it's true or false and the reasoning is needed

In triangle with sides of lengths a, b and c the angle a lays opposite to a. Prove the following inequality sin a 2√bc C α b a W

1. (20 pts) Determine whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F)? (A reasoning is required.) (1) Let V be the set of all ordered pairs of real numbers. Consider the following addition and scalar multiplication operations on u = u= (u1, u2) and v = (v1, v2): u + v = (U₁ + V₁, U₂ + v₂), ku = (ku₁, u₂). Is V a vector space under the above operations? U2 (2) The set Mmxn of all m×n matrices with the usual operations of addition and scalar multiplication is a vector space. α (3) The dimension of the vector space of all matrices A = [a b] in R2×2 with a+d=0 is 4. (4) The coordinate vector of p(x) = 2-x+x² in P3 relative to the basis S = {1, 1+x, x + x2} is [4 -2 1]. (5) If a 6×4 matrix A has a rank 3, then the dimension of N(A) is 3.
