Your friend says that the absolute value equation ∣3x + 8 ∣ − 9 = −5 has no solution because the constant on the right side of the equation is negative. Is your friend correct? Explain.

89.87 is 215% of approximately 41.8. This is found by converting 215% to a decimal (2.15) and dividing the given number (89.87) by this decimal.

The student's question relates to an application of percentages. To work out this problem, we must first understand that in this context, 215% is equivalent to 2.15 when transformed into a decimal. We then divide the given number, 89.87, by 2.15 to find the original value. The calculation would be as follows: 89.87 ÷ 2.15, which equates to approximately 41.8. Therefore, 89.87 is 215% of the number 41.8.

Answer:

It must be greater than 1/2XY.

Step-by-step explanation:

We draw an arc from point X below the arc that passes through X and Y.  Keeping our compass the same width, we will draw another arc from point Y below, intersecting the first arc.

If the width of the compass is not set to more than 1/2XY, then the two arcs will not intersect and we will not complete our construction.

Perpendicular lines are lines that meet at 90 degrees.

The true statement about the width of the compass is that: (d) It must be greater than 1/2XY.

From the question, we understand that he has drawn arc XY already.

The next step is to draw an arc less than the width of XY, but greater than half width XY.

This will ensure that the arcs bisect one another.

Hence, the true option is (d).

Final answer:

To convert the equation 7x - 4y + 8 = 0 to slope-intercept form, solve for y to get y = (7/4)x + 2, with a slope of 7/4 and a y-intercept of 2.

Explanation:

To write the equation 7x − 4y + 8 = 0 in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, we want to solve for y. The steps are as follows:

Thus, the equation of the line in slope-intercept form is y = (7/4)x + 2. Here, the slope is 7/4 and the y-intercept is 2.

Answer:

His insurance company will pay for damages.

Step-by-step explanation:

An insurance is a form of contract that permits an individual to transfer the responsibilities of a financial loss to an insurance company. The company bears the risk of the financial loss. Small amount of money are collected from their clients and summed together to pay for losses that the client may encounter in the future. Insurance safeguards an individual and his property from losses, misfortune, hazards or theft. Covered losses are paid for by the insurance company thereby reducing the financial costs for the  individual.  Examples include auto insurance , health insurance, disability insurance, and life insurance.

Answer:

Helen can make 2 loaves of bread and 4 batches of muffins.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of loaves of bread

Let y be the number of batches of muffins

As per the given requirement of flour, the equation becomes:

[tex]3.5x+2.5y=17[/tex]   .......(1)

As per the given requirement of sugar, the equation becomes:

[tex]0.75x+0.75y=4.5[/tex]  .....(2)

Multiplying equation (1) with 0.3 and subtracting (2) from (1)

[tex]1.05x+0.75y=5.1[/tex] now subtracting (2) from this we get

=> [tex]0.3x=0.6[/tex]

So, x = 2

And as [tex]3.5x+2.5y=17[/tex] ; so substituting x = 2 here we get

[tex]3.5(2)+2.5y=17[/tex]

[tex]7+2.5y=17[/tex]

[tex]2.5y=17-7[/tex]

[tex]2.5y=10[/tex]

So, y = 4

Hence, there will be 2 loaves of bread and 4 batches of muffins.

What are mathematics operations?

• A mathematical operation is a function that converts a set of zero or more input values (also called "b" or "arguments") into a defined output value. The number of operands determines the operation's arity. Most commonly studied operations are binary operations (i.e., operations of arity 2), such as addition and multiplication, and unary operations (i.e., operations of arity 1), such as additive and multiplicative inverses.

• Zero-arity operations, or nullary operations, are constants, and mixed products are arity three operations, or ternary operations.

It is given that :

To prove that (x-s-t) is a factor of the polynomial $x^3 - s^3 - t^3 -3st(s+t)$, we applied the factor theorem which states that (x-c) will be a factor of a polynomial if f(c) equals zero. By substituting x with (s+t) into the polynomial, we got a value of zero, confirming that (x-s-t) is indeed a factor.

To prove that (x-s-t) is a factor of $x^3 - s^3 -t^3 -3st(s+t)$, we can use the factor theorem. According to the factor theorem, a polynomial f(x) has a factor (x-c) if and only if f(c) equals zero.

Given the polynomial $x^3 - s^3 - t^3 -3st(s+t)$, we substitute (x = s + t) into the polynomial, thus:

$f(s + t) = (s + t)^3 -s^3 -t^3 - 3st(s + t)$.

After simplifying the equation, we obtain:

$s^3 + 3s^2t +3st^2  + t^3 - s^3 - t^3 - 3st^2 - 3s^2t$.

When we cancel out the like terms, the result is 0. Therefore,

$(x - s - t)$ is a factor of the given polynomial $x^3 - s^3 -t^3 -3st(s+t)$. This proves our result according to the Factor theorem.

Arithmetic progression is the sequence of numbers that has a fixed common difference between any two consecutive numbers.

For the given situation,

Part (a):

The sum of even numbers formula is obtained by using the sum of terms in an arithmetic progression formula.

Sum of Even Numbers Formula = n(n+1),

where n is the number of terms in the series.

Part (b):

Now take first 5 positive numbers 2,4,6,8,10

By using the formula, n=5

Sum of n even positive integers = [tex]n(n+1)[/tex]

⇒ [tex]5(5+1)[/tex]

⇒ [tex]5(6)[/tex]

⇒ [tex]30[/tex].

The formula for the sum of the first n even positive integers is S = n(n+1). This was derived by recognizing the pattern of the series and using the formula for the sum of an arithmetic series. The proof by induction confirms the validity of our formula.

The problem asks us to find and prove a formula for the sum of the first n even positive integers. To find the formula, we recognize that the first n even integers can be represented as 2, 4, 6, ..., 2n. Hence, the sum S of the first n even integers can be written as S = 2 + 4 + 6 + ... + 2n. This is an arithmetic series with the first term a = 2 and the common difference d = 2. The sum of an arithmetic series can be given by the formula S = n/2 [2a + (n-1)d], substituting a = 2 and d = 2, we get S = n/2 [2*2 + (n-1)2] = n[2 + 2(n-1)], which simplifies to S = n(n+1).

To prove this formula, we use induction. For n=1, the sum is 2, which matches our formula 1(1+1) = 2. Assuming the formula holds for n = k, for n = k+1, the sum would include one more term, 2(k+1), so the new sum is S + 2(k+1) which upon simplification, verifies our formula for all n.

To write the height h of the rectangle as a function of x, you need to understand the relationship between the height and the other variables involved.

To write the height h of the rectangle as a function of x, you need to understand the relationship between the height and the other variables involved. In a rectangle, the height is typically perpendicular to the base.

So, if we assume that x represents the base length, then the height h can be written as a function of x using an equation.

For example, if the rectangle has a fixed width, the height can be calculated using the following equation: h = f(x), where f is the function that describes the relationship between the base length x and the height h.
