What will the inventory levels be after the first months sales? Use matrices to find the answer. What is the maximum possible value of the middle entry. B22. If the entries in the matrices represented bank deposits instead of inventory levels, could negative number be part of the matrix?

x² + 11x + 18 < 0  

[-11 ± sqrt(121 - 72)]/2 = (-11 ± 7)/2  

solution: (-9, -2)

step-by-step explanation:

this is a direct variation proportion. y = kx

y is the total amount due, k is the constant of variation, and x is the number of texts sent.

plug in the 3.20 and the 16 to solve for the "k". this is the constant of proportionality. it is the value that will not change.

3.20 = k(16). solving you get $.20 per text.

the equation would then be y = .20x
