AI Thread Summary
To solve the matrix problem X = 4A - 4B, first multiply each element of matrices A and B by 4. Then, subtract the corresponding elements of the scaled matrices. This approach clarifies the steps needed to find matrix X. The discussion highlights the realization that the solution involves straightforward element-wise operations. Understanding these basic matrix operations is crucial for solving similar problems.

I am having a problem grasping the following matrice problem: (any help is appreciated)

Solve for X given:

10 7 -6 -10 1 6
A= -10 -3 -4 B= -1 -4 0
-8 -5 -9 -5 -2 3

X=4A-4B

How do I start?

10 7 -6 -10 1 6
A= -10 -3 -4 B= -1 -4 0
-8 -5 -9 -5 -2 3
 
Sorry, that didn't translate well into the post
 
If I understand the 'problem' correct it's just multiplying both matrices by 4 (elementswise) and then subtract them (again elementswise)... Don't youuknow how to do that?
 
Bingo, the light came on after I wrote it and pondered it for a while.

Thanks
 

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
