Gemma makes a conjecture that the sum of an odd integer and itself is always an even integer. Which choice is the best proof of her conjecture?

A) Look at these different examples: 7 + 7 = 14, 13 + 13 = 26, 23 + 23 = 46. So the sum of an odd number and itself must be even
B) Let 2n + 1 be an odd number; (2n + 1) + (2n + 1) = 4n + 2. Because 4(n + 2) is divisible by 2, the sum of 2n + 1 and itself is even.
C) Let n represent an odd number, and let n + n be an even number. Therefore, n + n = n + n, which shows that the sum of an odd number and itself is even.
D) Every time you add an odd number and itself, the sum is an even number.Every time you add an odd number and itself, the sum is an even number.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Let 2n + 1 be an odd number......  B/2nd option

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The best choice is

Let 2n + 1 be an odd number; (2n + 1) + (2n + 1) = 4n + 2.

Because 4(n + 2) is divisible by 2, the sum of 2n + 1 and itself is even.

What is Conjecture?

A hypothesis in mathematics is a conclusion or a proposition made tentatively without supporting evidence. Some conjectures, like the Fermat's Last Theorem or the Riemann hypothesis, have significantly influenced the development of new branches of mathematics.

First, Only three examples are given which is not appropriate at all.

Second, This is the best proof is

Let 2n + 1 be an odd number; (2n + 1) + (2n + 1) = 4n + 2. Because 4(n + 2) is divisible by 2, the sum of 2n + 1 and itself is even.

A shopekeeper sells one machine for 990 rupees at profit 10% and another machine for 1960 rupees at loss of 2% what is his gain or loss percentage​

Answers

Given:

SP of a machine = Rs. 990

Profit% = 10 %

SP of other machine = Rs. 1960

loss% = 2 %

Find:

his gain or loss percentage​

Solution:

We know that,

CP * (100 + profit%)/100 = SP

So,

First machine :

CP * (100 + 10)/100 = 990

⟹ CP = 990 * 100/110

⟹ CP = Rs. 900

Second machine :

We know that,

CP * (100 - loss%)/100 = SP

⟹ CP * (100 - 2)/100 = 1960

⟹ CP = 1960 * 100/98

⟹ CP = Rs. 2000

Now,

We have to find the total loss or profit percentage.

Total SP = 990 + 1960 = Rs. 2950 Total CP = 900 + 2000 = Rs. 2900.

We observe that,

SP > CP.

so, a gain is occured.

gain % = gain/CP * 100

gain = SP - CP

So,

gain% = (2950 - 2900)/2900 * 100

⟹ gain% = 50/29

⟹ gain% = 1.72 %

∴ A gain of 1.72% is occured in the whole transaction.

I hope it will help you.

Regards.

Answer:

HELLO SISO❤

IT'S ME YIREN

Step-by-step explanation:

→ CP of machine = (SP * 100) / (100 + Profit%) = (990 * 100) / (100 + 10) = (990 * 100) / 110 = Rs. 900 . Case 2) :- shopkeeper sells another machine for Rs. 1960 at a loss of 2%

Enter the slope-intercept equation of the line that has -2 and y-intercept (0,7)

Answers

so first of we have to know that the equation has to be y=mx+b. So now we plug in 0 & 7, the 0 replaces the x and the 7 replaces the y and we already know the slope which is a -2. So then when we plug all it in we have 7=-2(0)+b.
7=-2(0)+b
7=0+b
subtract 0 from both sides and then we get:
7=b
then we put it into a equation which is:
y= -2x+7

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic equation has equal/repeated solutions when a discriminant (Δ) is equal 0.

The formula of a discriminant (Δ) of equation

We have the equation

What is the sum of Frank’s height and Evelyn’s height, in inches?

Answers

Answer: 132

Step-by-step explanation: I think it is 132 because C + 4 = A, D + 1 = F, and B is shortest. so the order is FDAECB with Frank at 69 and Evelyn at 63. Carrie has to be at 60 because Aaron, who is 64, is 4 inches taller than Carrie. So, when you add 69 and 63 together, you get 132. Also just to check, Dan, who is 68, is one inch shorter than Frank, who is the tallest. This is only true because the girls are the youngest.

An eagle takes off from the top of a cliff that is 125 meters high and flies upward. After t seconds, the height at which the eagle is flying is given by the equation h(t) = 125 + 1.25t2 where t is in seconds. Find the instantaneous velocity of the eagle at t = 3 seconds. Round your answer to one decimal place.

Answers

Answer:

The instantaneous velocity of the eagle at the given time is  7.5 m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

height of the cliff, h = 125 m

the height at which the eagle is flying, h(t) = 125 + 1.25t²

The velocity of the eagle is given by;

v = dh/dt

v = 2.5t

The instantaneous velocity of the eagle at t = 3 seconds is given by;

v = 2.5(3)

v = 7.5 m/s

Theerefore, the instantaneous velocity of the eagle at t = 3 seconds is  7.5 m/s.

Li wants to add these items to her suitcase: a hairdryer (1.25 lb), a hand-held video game (0.6 lb), an extra video game (0.25 lb), and a music player (0.4 lb). Using the inequality x Less than or equal to 2.25, can she add all these items to the suitcase? If not, what could be left out to be closest to the maximum weight allowed? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

She will leave an extra video game which weighs 0.25lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Li wants to add these items to her suitcase: a hairdryer (1.25 lb), a hand-held video game (0.6 lb), an extra video game (0.25 lb), and a music player (0.4 lb). Using the inequality x ≤ 2.25, can she add all these items to the suitcase? If not, what could be left out to be closest to the maximum weight allowed?

Solution:

Weight of the items

hairdryer = 1.25 lb

hand-held video game = 0.6 lb

an extra video game = 0.25 lb music player = 0.4 lb

The total weight of the items

= 1.25lb + 0.25lb + 0.6lb + 0.4lb

= 2.5 lb.

Total weight - required weight

= 2.5lb - 2.25lb

= 0.25lb

2.5lb is 0.25lb greater than 2.25lb

Therefore, not all items can be added.

She has to leave out an item equivalent to 0.25lb

Item equivalent to 0.25lb is the extra video game

If Li leaves out the extra game, which weighs 0.25 lb, she’d have the maximum weight allowed.

Answer:

The total weight of the items is 1.25 + 0.25 + 0.6 + 0.4 = 2.5 lb. 2.5 is 0.25 greater than 2.25, so not all the items can be added. If Li leaves out the extra game, which weighs 0.25 lb, she’d have the greatest possible weight allowed.

Answers

Answer:

Transformation: (x,y) → (x - 26, y + 17) or

[tex]T _{-26,17}[/tex](x,y) [translation]

A, since the transformation of a translation simply changes the location of a certain figure because all the points of the figure are moved the exact same way. This is because a translation is a rigid transformation.

Explanation:

Let the preimage of points A and P be A(x1,y1), and P(x2,y2). And the image of points A and P be A'(x3,y3) and P'(x4,y4).

Given points A and P are A(-2,20) and (10,-13). And points A' and P' are A'(-28,37), and P'(-16,4). The translation is found by calculating the difference between these points for the figure. (x,y) → (( x + ((x3-x1) + (x4-x2))/2), (y + ((y3-y1) + (y4-y2))/2 )). If this does not match all the points in the transformation of the figure, than it is not a rigid transformation, and so it cannot be a translation.

The simple formula for the uniform translation of a figure is : (x,y) → ((x + (x2-x1), (y + (y2-y1)) . Where x2, and y2 are part of the image, while x1, and y1 are part of the preimage. This will get you from the preimage(1) to image(2) following a translation.

Given all the points, the more complicated work is shown here:

(x,y) → ((x + ((-28--2) + (-16-10))/2), (y + ((37-20) + (4--13))/2)) = (x,y) → ((x + (-26 + -26)/2),(y + (17 + 17)/2) = (x,y) → ((x - 26),(y + 17)) = (x,y) → (x - 26, y + 17).

When writing a transformation like a translation in a function, it will look like this: [tex]T _{∆x,∆y}[/tex](x,y). ∆x,∆y are just placeholders for the change in these variables that get you from the preimage to image.

Physical change is a temporary and usually reversible change in which no new substances are formed whereas Chemical change is a permanent and it is usually an irreversible change in which new substances with different properties are formed. In physical change, the chemical composition of the substance remains the same but only the physical properties like state , colour , speed , motion , shape , size etc are changed whereas In chemical change , the physical properties , the chemical properties and the chemical composition of the substances are changed.Physical change is a reversible change as it occurs in forward as well as backward directions whereas chemical change is an irreversible change as it cannot be reversed back from products to reactants.Some of the examples of physical change are glowing of an electric bulb , magnetising an iron nail , preparing a solution , changing of ice into water and water vapour etc. Some of the examples of chemical change are changing milk into curd , rusting of iron , burning magnesium ribbon , decaying grasses , cooking rice etc.

Subtract

Step-by-step explanation:

The positive value of p from the equation is; p = 3

This is about absolute values.

We are given the equation;

10 = 43 - |7p + 12|

Let us simplify by subtracting 43 from both sides to leave the right hand side as an absolute value form.

10 - 43 = - |7p + 12|

-33 = - |7p + 12|

divide both sides by -1 to get;

33 = |7p + 12|

√600 and ∛56 and show work

Answers

Answer:

√600 is around 24.5 while ∛56 is around 3.83

Step-by-step explanation:

Method: TRIAL AND ERROR

For √600, we can follow trial and error method:

30^2 is 900, so too big

20^2 is 400, so too small

25^2 is 625, too big

24^2 is 576, too small

Considering that 600 is between 24^2 and 25^2, we can try in between:

24.5^2 is 600.25, which is very close, therefore 24.5 is the answer

For ∛56, we can also follow trial and error method:

5^3 is 125

4^3 is 64

3^3 is 27

Considering that 56 is somewhere between 3^3 and 4^3, and that it's much more closer to 4^3, we can try 3.6^3, which is: 46.656;

3.7^3 is 50.6

3.8^3 is 54.8

3.9^3 is 59

3.85^3 is 57

3.84^3 is 56.6 (still larger)

3.83^3 is 56.1

So the answer is 3.83

But the method above works when using calculator, best for a calculator exam. If calculator is not allowed, you can find the difference between the two possible answers (e.g: 27 and 64 (3^3 and 4^3) following the above, to find out ∛56.) Of course, 56 is much nearer to 4^3, so we can assume that the answer is around 3.8.

Hope this helped. :)
