question:Parker went to the gym and found 4 dumbbells of a certain weight set up for weightlifting. He added two more dumbbells to the setup and started his exercises. Parker is using 120 pounds of dumbbells for his exercises. What is the weight of each dumbbell?
answer:Parker started with 4 dumbbells and added 2 more, making a total of 6 dumbbells. If the total weight of the dumbbells is 120 pounds, we can find the weight of each dumbbell by dividing the total weight by the number of dumbbells. 120 pounds ÷ 6 dumbbells = 20 pounds per dumbbell Each dumbbell weighs boxed{20} pounds.
question:Let (alpha) be an acute angle. If (sin left( alpha +frac{pi }{6} right)=frac{3}{5}), then (cos left( 2alpha frac{pi }{6} right)=________).
answer:**Analysis** This problem focuses on finding the value of a trigonometric function, emphasizing the knowledge of double-angle formulas and reduction formulas, and is considered a basic question. **Solution** Given the problem, we have (frac{pi}{6} < alpha+ frac{pi}{6} < frac{2pi}{3}), and (cos left(alpha+ frac{pi}{6}right)= frac{4}{5} ). Therefore, (cos left(2alpha- frac{pi}{6}right)=cos left( frac{pi}{6}-2alpharight)=cos left[ frac{pi}{2}-left( frac{pi}{3}+2alpharight)right] =sin left( frac{pi}{3}+2alpharight)=2sin left( frac{pi}{6}+alpharight)cos left( frac{pi}{6}+alpharight)= frac{24}{25} ). Thus, the answer is boxed{frac{24}{25}}.
question:Let V be a 10dimensional real vector space and U_1,U_2 two linear subspaces such that U_1 subseteq U_2, dim U_1 =3, dim U_2=6 . Let varepsilon be the set of all linear maps T: Vrightarrow V which have T(U_1)subseteq U_1, T(U_2)subseteq U_2 . Calculate the dimension of varepsilon . (again, all as real vector spaces)
answer:1. **Choose a basis for ( U_1 ):** Let ( {e_1, e_2, e_3} ) be a basis for ( U_1 ). Since ( dim U_1 = 3 ), we have 3 basis vectors. 2. **Extend the basis of ( U_1 ) to a basis for ( U_2 ):** Since ( U_1 subseteq U_2 ) and ( dim U_2 = 6 ), we can extend the basis ( {e_1, e_2, e_3} ) of ( U_1 ) to a basis ( {e_1, e_2, e_3, e_4, e_5, e_6} ) of ( U_2 ) by adding 3 more vectors. 3. **Extend the basis of ( U_2 ) to a basis for ( V ):** Since ( dim V = 10 ), we can further extend the basis ( {e_1, e_2, e_3, e_4, e_5, e_6} ) of ( U_2 ) to a basis ( {e_1, e_2, e_3, e_4, e_5, e_6, e_7, e_8, e_9, e_{10}} ) of ( V ) by adding 4 more vectors. 4. **Consider the linear maps ( T ) that preserve ( U_1 ) and ( U_2 ):** We need to find the dimension of the set of all linear maps ( T: V rightarrow V ) such that ( T(U_1) subseteq U_1 ) and ( T(U_2) subseteq U_2 ). 5. **Structure of the linear map ( T ):** Since ( T ) must map ( U_1 ) into itself and ( U_2 ) into itself, the matrix representation of ( T ) with respect to the chosen basis will have a block structure: [ T = begin{pmatrix} A & B & C 0 & D & E 0 & 0 & F end{pmatrix} ] where: - ( A ) is a ( 3 times 3 ) matrix representing the action of ( T ) on ( U_1 ), - ( D ) is a ( 3 times 3 ) matrix representing the action of ( T ) on the complement of ( U_1 ) in ( U_2 ), - ( F ) is a ( 4 times 4 ) matrix representing the action of ( T ) on the complement of ( U_2 ) in ( V ), - ( B ) is a ( 3 times 3 ) matrix, - ( C ) is a ( 3 times 4 ) matrix, - ( E ) is a ( 3 times 4 ) matrix. 6. **Count the number of free parameters:** - The matrix ( A ) has ( 3 times 3 = 9 ) free parameters. - The matrix ( D ) has ( 3 times 3 = 9 ) free parameters. - The matrix ( F ) has ( 4 times 4 = 16 ) free parameters. - The matrix ( B ) has ( 3 times 3 = 9 ) free parameters. - The matrix ( C ) has ( 3 times 4 = 12 ) free parameters. - The matrix ( E ) has ( 3 times 4 = 12 ) free parameters. 7. **Sum the number of free parameters:** [ 9 + 9 + 16 + 9 + 12 + 12 = 67 ] Therefore, the dimension of the set ( varepsilon ) of all such linear maps ( T ) is ( 67 ). The final answer is (boxed{67}).
question:The population of an area starts at some number of people. It increases by 60% over 10 years due to birth. In that same time, 2000 people leave per year from emigration and 2500 people come in per year from immigration. There are 165,000 people in the area at the end of 10 years. What was the initial population of the area?
answer:Let's denote the initial population as ( P ). Over 10 years, the population increases by 60% due to birth. This means the population due to birth alone would be ( P + 0.60P = 1.60P ). However, we also need to account for emigration and immigration. Over 10 years, 2000 people leave per year due to emigration, which totals ( 2000 times 10 = 20,000 ) people. Similarly, 2500 people come in per year due to immigration, which totals ( 2500 times 10 = 25,000 ) people. The net effect of emigration and immigration over 10 years is ( 25,000 - 20,000 = 5,000 ) people added to the population. So, the final population is the initial population increased by 60% plus the net effect of emigration and immigration, which is: [ 1.60P + 5,000 = 165,000 ] Now, we can solve for ( P ): [ 1.60P = 165,000 - 5,000 ] [ 1.60P = 160,000 ] [ P = frac{160,000}{1.60} ] [ P = 100,000 ] Therefore, the initial population of the area was boxed{100,000} people.
