Problem 6
Let T, be the nth triangular number, Qn be the nth square number and
Pn be the nth pentagonal number.
(a) Show that 3Pn = T3n-1.
(b) Show that Pn - Qn = Tn-1 and hence that Pyn - 3Pn = Qan.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The given symbol for the nth triangular number = Tₙ

The given symbol for the nth square number = Qₙ

The given symbol for the nth pentagonal number = Pₙ

The mathematical formula for the nth triangular number, Tₙ = n·(n + 1)/2

The nth square number is given by Qₙ = n²

The nth pentagonal number is given by Pₙ = n·(3·n - 1)/2

(a) T₃.ₙ₋₁ = (3·n - 1)·(3·n - 1 + 1)/2 = (3·n - 1)·(3·n)/2  = 3·(3·n - 1)·(n)/2 = 3·Pₙ

Therefore;

T₍₃.ₙ ₋ ₁₎ = 3·Pₙ

(b) Pₙ - Qₙ = n·(3·n - 1)/2 - n²

Expanding the above equation gives;

n·(3·n - 1)/2 - n² = (3·n² - n - 2·n²)/2 = (n² - n)/2 = n·(n - 1)/2

T₍ₙ ₋ ₁₎ = ((n - 1)· ((n - 1) + 1))/2 =  ((n - 1)· n)/2 = n·(n - 1)/2

∴ Pₙ - Qₙ = n·(3·n - 1)/2 - n² = n·(n - 1)/2 = T₍ₙ ₋ ₁₎

∴ Pₙ - Qₙ = T₍ₙ ₋ ₁₎

Therefore, we get;

P₃.ₙ - Q₃.ₙ = T₍₃.ₙ ₋ ₁₎

Where, T₍₃.ₙ ₋ ₁₎ = 3·Pₙ from (a) above, gives;

P₃.ₙ - Q₃.ₙ = 3·Pₙ

∴ P₃.ₙ - 3·Pₙ = Q₃.ₙ

Plugging in the values, gives;

P₃.ₙ = (3·n)·(3·(3·n) - 1)/2 = (3·n)·((9·n) - 1)/2

3·Pₙ = 3·n·(3·n - 1)/2

P₃.ₙ - 3·Pₙ = (3·n)·((9·n) - 1)/2 - 3·n·(3·n - 1)/2 = (3·n)·(((9·n) - 1) - (3·n - 1))/2

(3·n)·(((9·n) - 1) - (3·n - 1))/2 = (3·n)·(9·n - 1 - 3·n + 1)/2 = (3·n)·(6·n )/2 = 9·n²

Q₃.ₙ = (3·n)² = 9·n²

∴ P₃.ₙ - 3·Pₙ = P₃.ₙ - 3·Pₙ

Answers

Answer:

x = 3  or  x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - x - 6 = 0

(x - 3)(x + 2) = 0

x - 3 = 0  or  x + 2 = 0

x = 3  or  x = -2

Since x and x -1 are two consecutive numbers that x > x-1, x= 3

The perimeter of a rectangular plot of land whose length is (2x+5) and width is (x-10) is 80cm. Find the
i)value of x
ii) area
iii)cost of weeding the plot at GHc 0.24 per m²​

Answers

Answer:

P.=2(2x+5)+2(x-10)=80cm

6x-10=80

x=90/6=15cm

Area= L*W= 35*5=175 squared cm= 0.0175 squared m

Cost= 0.24 * 0.0175 = GHc 0.0042

A parallelogram in which adjacent sides are perpendicular to each other is called a rectangle.  The cost of weeding the rectangular plot is 0.0042 GHc.

What is a rectangle?

That parallelogram in which adjacent sides are perpendicular to each other is called a rectangle. A rectangle is always a parallelogram and a quadrilateral but the reverse statement may or may not be true.

A.) The perimeter of a rectangular plot of land whose length is (2x+5) and width is (x-10) is 80cm. Therefore, we can write,

Perimeter of the rectangel = 2(L+W)

80 = 2[(2x+5)+(x-10)]

80/2 = 2x+5+x-10

40 = 3x -5

40+5 = 3x

x = 15

Hence, the value of x is 15.

B.) The length of the rectangle = (2x+5) = 2(15)+5 = 35 cm = 0.35 m

The width of the rectangle = (x-10) = 15-10 = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Now, the area of the rectangle = L×B = 0.35m × 0.05m  = 0.0175m²

C.) Given the cost of weeding 1m² is 0.24, therefore, the cost of weeding the rectangular plot is

Cost = 0.0175 × 0.24 = 0.0042 GHc

Hence, the cost of weeding the rectangular plot is 0.0042 GHc.

Which equation is equivalent to -2(2 − 2x) = 4 − 8(1 − x)?

Answers

Answer:

x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(2 − 2x) = 4 − 8(1 − x)

Apply the distributive property:

−2(2 − 2x) = 4 − 8(1 − x)

(−2)(2) + (−2)(−2x) = 4 + (−8)(1) + (−8)(−x)

−4 + 4x = 4 + (−8) + 8x

Combine like terms:

4x − 4 = (8x) + (4+−8)

4x − 4 = 8x + (−4)

4x − 4 = 8x − 4

Subtract 8x from both sides:

4x − 4 − 8x = 8x − 4 − 8x

−4x − 4 = −4

Add 4 to both sides:

−4x − 4 + 4= −4 + 4

−4x = 0

Divide both sides by -4:

-4x/-4 = 0/-4

x = 0

The Changs received a delivery of fuel oil totaling 35.00 gallons. The oil cost $3.05 per gallon. What did the Changs pay for the delivery

Answers

Answer:

$106.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the cost of a gallon of oil cost $3.05, we are going to have the equation y = 3.05x, where x represents the number of gallons of oil.

Since the Changs have 35 gallons of oil, the equation would be;

3.05(35) = 106.75

The Changs paid $106.75 for the delivery.

On Monday a post office employee processed a batch of letters, on Tuesday she processed three times as many, and on Wednesday she processed 5,000 cards. In the 3 days she processed 15,000 letters. How many did she process on Tuesday

Answers

Let the number of letters processed on Monday = x

She processed 3 times letters on Tuesday.

Therefore, number of letters processed on Tuesday = 3x

Number of letters processed on Wednesday = 5000

Total number of cards processed in 3 days = 15000

Therefore, equation for the situation will be,

x + 3x + 5000 = 15000

4x = 15000 - 5000

4x = 10000

x = 2500

Since, number of letters processed on Tuesday = 3x

Therefore, number of letters processed on Tuesday = 3(2500)

                                                                                             = 7500
