Find a counterexample to show that the given conjecture is false:

The sum of two positive even integers is always an odd integer.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

20 + 16 = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

The conjecture: "The sum of two positive even integers is always an odd integer" can be easily be proven false with a counterexample.

Pick A=20 and B=16, both are positive even integers.

The sum of both A + B = 36 is an even integer. This is a counterexample because being even is the contrary of being odd.

Counterexample: 20 + 16 = 36

In fact, the conjecture is always false, since there cannot be found any pair of positive integers whose sum is odd.

Other possible counterexamples are:

10 + 8, 700 + 40, 12 + 14, etc.

-4x+3=-2 y=x-1 solve for x and y

Answers

Answer:

x=1 1/4 (1.25), y=1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the equation "y=x-1" seems simple enough, we're going to plug that in for our other equation, "-4x+3=-2".

1. Rearrange y=x-1 to fit our other equation, -4x+3=-2.

y=x-1 (add 1 to both sides)

y+1=x x=y+1

2. Plug our newly rearranged equation into -4x+3=-2.

-4(y+1)+3=-2

-4y-4+3=-2 (distributive property)

3. Add/subtract like terms.

-4y-1=-2

4. Get y to be by itself.

-4y=-1 (add 1 to both sides)

y=1/4

1. Now for y=x-1. Plug 1/4 into y.

1/4=x-1

1 1/4=x

i need help in finding numerical value please

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\sqrt{18}=\sqrt{2*3*3}=3\sqrt{2}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{12}=\sqrt{2*2*3}=2\sqrt{3}[/tex]

[tex]A=\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{18}\\\\=\sqrt{2}+3\sqrt{2}\\\\=(1+3)\sqrt{2}\\\\=4\sqrt{2}[/tex]

[tex]B=\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{12}=\sqrt{3}+2\sqrt{3}\\\\ = (1+2)\sqrt{3}\\\\ = 3\sqrt{3}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{B^{2}+A^{2}-2*B*A}=\sqrt{(B-A)^{2}}\\\\=B-A\\\\=3\sqrt{3}-4\sqrt{2}[/tex]

= 3* 1.732 - 4 *1.4142

= 5.196 - 5.6568

= -0.4608

Exact Answer:   [tex]4\sqrt{2} - 3\sqrt{3}[/tex]

Approximate Answer:  0.46070182678574

Round the approximate value however you need to.

=================================================

Work Shown:

[tex]C = \sqrt{ B^2 + A^2 - 2BA}\\\\C = \sqrt{ B^2 - 2BA + A^2}\\\\C = \sqrt{ (B-A)^2 }\\\\C = -(B-A) \ \ \text{ see note below}\\\\C = -B+A\\\\C = A-B\\\\C = (A) - (B)\\\\[/tex]

[tex]C = (\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{18}) - (\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{12})\\\\C = \sqrt{2}+\sqrt{18} - \sqrt{3}-\sqrt{12}\\\\C = \sqrt{2}+\sqrt{9*2} - \sqrt{3}-\sqrt{4*3}\\\\C = \sqrt{2}+\sqrt{9}*\sqrt{2} - \sqrt{3}-\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{3}\\\\C = \sqrt{2}+3\sqrt{2} - \sqrt{3}-2\sqrt{3}\\\\C = 4\sqrt{2} - 3\sqrt{3} \ \ \text{ ..... exact value}\\\\C \approx 0.46070182678574 \ \ \text{ ..... approximate value}[/tex]

-------------------

Note: The rule used here is

If x is positive then [tex]\sqrt{x^2} = x[/tex]

Or if x is negative, then [tex]\sqrt{x^2} = -x[/tex]

Since B-A = -0.4607 approximately, we will use the second version of the rule above.

Does this represent a function?

Answers

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Vertical Line Test

Vertical Line Test: If a vertical line intersects a graph more than once, then the graph is not a function.

So if you draw a vertical line through that graph, it is only intersected once. Therefore, it is a function.

You decide to take up a life of crime and plan to break into a bank. You and your buddies have to decide which bank to choose from based on their locked door. One bank has a lock that requires four letters (repetition is not allowed) and the other bank has a lock that requires 6 digits (repetition is allowed). You want to break into the bank with the door that gives you the higher probability of breaking the code. Of those two options, which one has the greater probability of you guessing the code?

Answers

Answer:

The first bank with the four letter code has the grater probability of me guessing the code.

Step-by-step explanation:

To break the code for the first bank which uses four letters, since there are 26 letters in the alphabet, and require a four letter code, the first letter can be any of the 26 letters. Since one letter has been taken, we are left with 25 letters for the second position, 24 for the third position and 24 for the fourth position.

So, the total number of ways of selecting the 4 letter code without repetition is ²⁶P₄ = 26 × 25 × 24 × 23 = 358800

Since we have only 1 correct code, this is our required outcome. So,  the probability of breaking the code is P = required outcome/total outcome = 1/358800 = 2.787 × 10⁻⁶

To break the code for the second bank which uses 6 digits with repetition, since there are 10 digits, and we require a 6 digit code, each digit can be filled with 10 digits each. Since there is repetition, the total number of ways we can select the 6 digits is (¹⁰P₁)⁶ = 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 10⁶.

Since there is going to be only 1 correct code, the number of ways of selecting the correct code is 1.

The probability P' of cracking the second bank code is P' = required outcome/total outcome = 1/10⁶ = 1 × 10⁻⁶

Since P = 2.787 × 10⁻⁶ > P' =  1 × 10⁻⁶, the first bank with the four letter code has the grater probability of me guessing the code.

If f(x) = 2x⁴- 3x² - 2x+5 and g(x)= x³ - 2x - 3, find the sum of polynomials f(x) and g(x) and hence state the order of the sum.

Answers

Answer:

2x⁴ + x³ - 3x² - 4x + 2

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given functions:

     f(x) = 2x⁴ - 3x² - 2x + 5

     g(x)  = x³ - 2x - 3

Unknown:

Sum of the polynomials = ?

Order of the sum  = ?

Solution:

The sum of the polynomial is expressed as;

    f(x) + g(x) = 2x⁴ - 3x² - 2x + 5 +  x³ - 2x - 3

                   = 2x⁴ + x³ - 3x² - 2x - 2x + 5 -3

                   = 2x⁴ + x³ - 3x² - 4x + 2

The order of the sum is the highest power which 4.

This polynomial is of the 4th order.

x=77

Answer:

okay well all i can explain is the image on the far left, the answer would be x=112 and then for the one on the far right (im not sure ) i think its 17

explanation: so a straight line had 180 degress and the outside angle is 126 meaning that if you do 180-126 you can find the amount of the inside angle on the bottom right. When you do this you get 54 degress. Then remember that a triangle has a total of 180 degrees all added up so the final angle inside the triagle is 80 minus the sum of the other two angles. 58+54=112 and 180-112=68. remember that 68 is the angle on the INSIDE and x is clearly on the outside meaning that you would need to do 180-68. your final answer would be 112.

Answers

Answer:

25.5 and 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

AC = 12 cm

BC = 13.5 cm

13.5 - 12 = 1.5 cm

The possible length of segment AC is 25.5 cm and 1.5 cm.

What is a line segment?

A line segment is a part of line that is bounded by two distinct end-points. A line segment has a fixed length. Figures such as a triangle, polygon, hexagon, square are made of different numbers of line segments.

For the given situation,

The points A, B, and C lie on a line.

Length AB = 12 cm

BC = 13.5 cm

The possible length of segment AC can be found by adding and subtracting the lengths of AB and BC.

a) Length of AC = [tex]13.5+12[/tex]

⇒ [tex]25.5[/tex] cm

b)  Length of AC = [tex]13.5-12[/tex]

⇒ [tex]1.5[/tex] cm

Hence we can conclude that the possible length of segment AC is 25.5 cm and 1.5 cm.

At Greenwood Landscaping, rock costs $47.50 per ton. How much would 2.5 tons cost?

$94.25
$118.75
$107.75
$332.50

Answers

Answer:

Hey!

Your answer is $118.75!

Step-by-step explanation: How did I get this?

STEP 1: So we know that for a ton of rock costs us $47.50...

To get 2 tons all we have to do is to MULTIPLY $47.50 by 2...

(47.50 x 2 = 95)

STEP 2: So for $95, you will get 2 tons of rock!

Now to get the .5 tons of rock in price form, we have to get the price of the whole 2.5 tons and DIVIDE BY 2

(47.50 ÷ 2 = 23.75)

STEP 3: So now we have the costs for 2 tons and the price for HALF a ton.

What we do now is easy...we ADD THE VALUES TOGTHER!

(95 + 23.75 = $118.75)

The result of $118.75 after adding them together is the PRICE OF 2 TONS!

I HOPE THIS HELPED YOU!

Answer:

$118.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, we know a rock per ton is $47.50.

What we need to know is how much 2.5 tons cost.

So if we take our 2.5 tons and we multiply it with our $47.50, this is what it will look like:

($47.50 * 2.5) = $118.75

So 2.5 tons of rock costs $118.75
