Abby made the following conjecture: The sum of a multiple of 7 and a multiple of 8 will be an
odd number. Do you agree or disagree? Briefly justify your decision with a counterexample if
possible.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Disagree. As long as the odd number (7) is multiplied by an even number, the sum of multiples of an odd and even number in general will add to be even.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume you have a=7 and b=8.

Now there are 4 combinations since there are only two types of numbers: even and odd.

Combination 1 would consist of an ODD amount of multiples of a, and and ODD amount of multiples of b.

     See:  3a + 3b

              3(7) + 3(8) = 45

*Combination 2 would be an EVEN amount of a and an EVEN amount of b.

         2a + 2b

         14 + 16 = 30

HERE, in combination 2, the claim is already debunked.

Combination 3 is an ODD amount of a and an EVEN amount of b

         1a + 2b

        7 + 16 = 21

*Combination 4 is an EVEN amount of a and an ODD amount of b

         2a + 1b

         14 + 8 = 24

HERE, in combination 4, the claim is justified again

First, we know that a² + b² = c². We will just be using this in a different way! b² = c² - a²

b² = 32² - 28²

b² = 1024 - 784

b² = 240

b = 15.49

Harlene tosses two number cubes. If a sum of 8 or 12 comes up, she gets 9 points. If not, she loses 2 points. What is the expected value of the number of points for one roll? Negative two-thirds Negative one-sixth one-sixth Two-thirds.

Answers

We want to get the expected value for the given experiment, we will see that it is equal to -1/6 points, so the correct option is "negative one-sixth"

For an experiment with events {x₁, x₂, ..., xₙ}, each one with probability {p₁, p₂, ..., pₙ}, the expected value is given by:

EV = x₁*p₁ + ... + xₙ*pₙ

Here we have two events:

x₁ = she gets 9 points.x₂ = she loses 2 points.

Let's find the probabilities of each one of these.

She gets 9 points if the sum of the two dice is equal to 8 or 12.

Each dice has 6 outcomes.

Then a combination of two dice has a total of 6*6 = 36 outcomes.

The outcomes that add to 8 or 12 are:

dice 1   dice 2  sum

2           6            8

3           5            8

4           4            8

5          6             8

6           2            8

6           6            12

So 6 out of the 36 outcomes, then the probability of this event is:

p₁ = 6/36 = 1/6

And the other event is for all the other outcomes, so the probability is just:

p₂ = 5/6

Then the expected value is:

EV = (+ 9 points)*(1/6) + (-2 points)*(5/6)  = -1/6 points.

So the correct option is negative one-sixth.

Given :-

Line p has an equation of y = 5/3x - 4 .Line q includes point (-10,-3) and is perpendicular to the line p .

To Find :-

The equation of line q .

Solution :-

The equation of the line p is ,

[tex]\sf\blue{\longrightarrow}[/tex] y = 5/3x - 4

On comparing to slope intercept form of the line which is y = mx + c , we have ,

[tex]\sf\blue{\longrightarrow}[/tex] m = 5/3

Now as we know that the product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1 . So the slope of the perpendicular line will be ,

[tex]\sf\blue{\longrightarrow} m_{\perp} = -3/5[/tex]

Now here the line q passes through the point (-10,-3) . So on using the point slope form of the line we get ,

[tex]\sf\blue{\longrightarrow} y - y_1 = m(x-x_1)[/tex]

[tex]\sf\blue{\longrightarrow}[/tex] y - (-3) = -3/5[ x-(-10)]

[tex]\sf\blue{\longrightarrow}[/tex] y +3 = -3/5(x+10)

[tex]\sf\blue{\longrightarrow}[/tex] y+3 = -3/5x - 6

[tex]\sf\blue{\longrightarrow}[/tex] y +9 = -3/5x

[tex]\sf\blue{\longrightarrow}[/tex] y = - 3/5x - 9

Hence the required answer is y = -3/5x - 9 .

Answer:

For Perpendicular lines you have to know

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of P ×slope of q=-1 (always since they are perpned..)

so as P has the slope 5/3 in order to optain - 1 the slope of q should be negative of the inverse of p

so q solpe =-3/5 then lets try (5/3)×(-3/5)? =-1 yes

And be aware that you have to know the formula of straight line : y-ypoint=slope(x-xpoint) or y=ax+b

so y+3=-3/5(x+10) ===> y=-3/5x - 30/5 - 3

uniting the denominater ==>y=-3/5x - 45/5

so that q equation is :y=-3/5x - 9

The equation `F=\frac{9}{5}C+32` relates temperature measured in degrees Celsius, `C`, to degrees Fahrenheit, `F`. Determine whether there is a proportional relationship between `C` and `F`. Explain or show your reas

Answers

Answer:

No, a Celsius temperature is not proportional to its equivalent Fahrenheit temperature.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula is

F=(9/5) C+ 32

F increases as C increases and F decreases as C decreases, but the relation is not a direct proportionality.

In mathematics, a direct proportion has the form

y=mx

where m is a constant.

If the formula had been F=(9/5) C, it would have been a direct proportion.

However, the addition of the + 32 term makes the formula no longer a direct proportion

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

slope formula : [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex] where the x and y values are derived from known points

We are given the points (3,1)and (4,3)

Given these points we can define our variables

(x1,y1) = (3,1) so x1 = 3 and y1 = 1

(x2,y2) = (4,3) so x2 = 4 and y2 = 3

Now that we have defined our variable, we plug them into the formula

Recall formula: [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

x1 = 3 , y1 = 1 , x2 = 4 , y2 = 3

* plug in values *

[tex]\frac{3-1}{4-3}[/tex]

subtract 3 and 1 , and 4 and 3

[tex]\frac{3-1=2}{4-3=1} =\frac{2}{1} =2[/tex]

What is the slope of the line in this graph?

Answers

The slope of the line 5/7.

How do i know this?

Well the slope of a line is considered as rise/run.

So we start at the beginning and then go up until the line intersects a corner again. Then we mark that down.

Go back to the beginning and count how many times it takes to reach the height of the intersected corner. So it is 5.

Then we go to the right until we reach the point. And it takes 7 squares to reach it, so the slope it 5/7.

A cash card has a starting value of $25. If the card is not used within the first year of its purchase, the value on the card begins to decrease by $2.50 per month.
The relationship between the number of months after the first year and the amount remaining on the card is .

The independent variable is the _____________?

The dependent variable is the ______________?

Answers

Answer:

The relationship between the number of months after the first year and the amount on the remaining card is linear and inverse ( Which meant that ,when the number of months after the first year increases , the amount on the remaining car decreases , in a linear way ) .

The Independent variable is the numbers of months after the first year .

The Dependent variable is the amount on the remaining card , Bcoz this amount depends on the time it has passed since the first year , ( which is our independent variable!).

If we call "Y" our dependent variables and "X" our Independent variable , This relationship can be written as Y= 25 - 2.5x.

If no months had passed since the first year, then x= 0 and the amount in the card equals $25 , While if one month has passed since the first year x= 1 and y= 22.5 ( The amount in the card in this case is $22.5 .

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

2 similar triangles (the angles are the same, and the lengths of the corresponding sides have the same multiplication factor from one triangle to the other) :

1. support post (14ft), post to back (b), the long roof line

2. front to post (f), support post (14ft), dotted line

so, because the multiplication factor is the same for the sides, the ratio

"support post" / f

must be the same as

b / "support post"

14 / f = b / 14

b = 14²/f = 196/f

and then we know that

f + b = 53

by putting the first into the second equation we get

f + 196/f = 53

f² + 196 = 53f

f² - 53f + 196 = 0

the solution of such a quadratic equation in general is

x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)

in our case

x = f

a = 1

b = -53

c = 196

f = (53 ± sqrt(53² - 4×1×196))/(2×1) =

= (53 ± sqrt(2809 - 784))/2 = (53 ± sqrt(2025))/2 =

= (53 ± 45)/2

f1 = (53 + 45)/2 = 98/2 = 49

f2 = (53 - 45)/2 = 8/2 = 4

as the distance "front to post" is shorter than "back to post", f2 = 4 must be or solution.

therefore, the support post is positioned 4ft from the front of the house.
