Prove the sum of three consecutive is divisible by three, that the sum of 5 consecutive integers is divisible by 5, but the sum of four consecutive integers is not divisible by 4

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Proved

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving (a):

Let the numbers be: [tex]x, x + 1, x + 2.[/tex]

Their sum is:

[tex]Sum = x + x + 1 + x + 2[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]Sum = x + x + x + 1 + 2[/tex]

[tex]Sum = 3x + 3[/tex]

Divide sum by 3.

[tex]Result = \frac{Sum}{3}[/tex]

[tex]Result = \frac{3x+3}{3}[/tex]

[tex]Result = \frac{3(x+1)}{3}[/tex]

[tex]Result = x + 1[/tex]

Hence, this is true because there is no fractional part after the division

Solving (b):

Let the numbers be: [tex]x, x + 1, x + 2,x+3,x+4[/tex]

Their sum is:

[tex]Sum = x + x + 1 + x + 2+x + 3 + x + 4[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]Sum = x + x + x + x + x+1 + 2 + 3 + 4[/tex]

[tex]Sum = 5x+10[/tex]

Divide sum by 5.

[tex]Result = \frac{5x + 10}{5}[/tex]

[tex]Result = \frac{5(x + 2)}{5}[/tex]

[tex]Result = x + 2[/tex]

Hence, this is true because there is no fractional part after the division

Solving (c):

Let the numbers be: [tex]x, x + 1, x + 2,x+3[/tex]

Their sum is:

[tex]Sum = x + x + 1 + x + 2+x + 3[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]Sum = x + x + x + x + 1 + 2 + 3[/tex]

[tex]Sum = 4x+6[/tex]

Divide sum by 4.

[tex]Result = \frac{4x + 6}{4}[/tex]

Split

[tex]Result = \frac{4x}{4} + \frac{6}{4}[/tex]

[tex]Result = x + 1.5[/tex]

The 1.5 means that the sum can not be divisible by 4

Answers

Hey there!

The answer to your question is one zero.

To solve this, we can first start by finding the cube root.

[tex]\sqrt[3]{1000}[/tex]

The answer to this is [tex]10[/tex], because [tex]10 * 10 * 10 = 1000[/tex]

Now, we can see that there is one zero at the end of [tex]10[/tex].

Answers

Answer:

Slope/m=3, y-intercept=5

Step-by-step explination

2y-6x=10

Factor out the common term of two

2y/2-6x/2=10/2      /=dividing

y-3x=5

Add 3x to both sides

y-3x+3x=5+3x

. Water in a 10 gallon tank is draining at a rate of 2 gallons per hour. Water in a separate tank is filling at a rate of 4 gallons per hour. How long until the tanks have the same amount of water?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Water in a 10 gallon tank is draining at a rate of 2 gallons per hour.

= 10 - 2x

Water in a separate tank is filling at a rate of 4 gallons per hour.

= 10 + 4x

Equating both Equations together

10 - 2x = 10 + 4x

10 - 10 = 4x - 2x

How long until the tanks have the same amount of water?

8х + 5у = -7
— 7х + бу = — 4

Answers

Answer: x = -0.2651 and y = -0.9759

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution by substitution method

8x+5y= -7

-7x+6y= -4 = 7x-6y=4

Suppose,

8x+5y=-7→(1)

7x-6y=4→(2)

Taking equation (1), we have

8x+5y= -7

⇒8x= -5y -7

⇒x= -5y-7 / 8 →(3)

Putting x= -5y-7 / 8

in equation (2), we get 7x-6y=4

7(-5y-7/8)-6y=4

⇒-35y-49-48y=32

⇒-83y-49=32

⇒-83y=32+49

⇒-83y=81

⇒y= 81 / -83

⇒y= -0.9759→(4)

Now, Putting y= -0.9759 in equation (3), we get

x= -5y-7

x= -5(-0.9759)-7/8

⇒x= 4.8795-7/8

⇒x= -2.1205/8

⇒x= -0.2651

∴x= -0.2651 and y = -0.9759

Point (21,28) is dilated by a scale factor of (-1/7) with a center of dilation on the origin. What are the new coordinates

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Original x-value = 21

New x-value = 21 * (-1/7) = -3.

Original y-value = 28

New y-value = 28 * (-1/7) = -4.

Hence the coordinates of the new point is (-3,-4).

Answer:

Original value of x-axis =21

New value of x-axis = 21×(-1/7) = -3

Original value of y-axis =28

New value of y-axis = 28×(-1/7) = -4

Hence, the new coordinate is (-3,-4).

Pawl,colin and bria are waiters. One night the restaurant earns tips totalling £78.40 the share the tips in the ratio 2.1.5 how much more does Brian get over colin

Answers

Answer:  Brian gets $39.2 more over Colin.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Total tip amount = £78.40

The ratio of the share of tips for Pawl, Colin and Bria  is 2:1 :5.

Let tip amount for Pawl = 2x, tip amount for Colin = x , tip amount for Bria = 5x

Then, 2x+x+5x= 78.40

[tex]\Rightarrow\ 8x = 78.40\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{78.40}{8 }\\\\\Rightarrow x=9.8[/tex]

Tip for Colin = $ 9.8 , Tip for Bria = 5($9.8)= $49

Difference = $(49-9.8) = $ 39.2

Hence, Brian gets $39.2 more over Colin.

The principal would like to assemble a committee of 8 students from the 20-member student council. How many different committees can be chosen?

Answers

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

If you subtract 8from20 there's 11 memeber student councilors left which then you subtract another 8from the remaining 11 students and there would be 3 student councilors left which means

there can only be 2.5 different committees because you can't subtract 3 from 8

Answer:

125790 different committees can be chosen.

Step-by-step explanation:

The principal would like to assemble a committee of 8 students from the 20-member student council.

We need to find How many different committees can be chosen?

Since the order is not important, so we use Combinations to solve the question.

The formula used is: [tex]^nC_r=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!r!} \\[/tex]

In the question given: we have n = 20 and r = 8

Putting values and finding the number of ways committees can be chosen:

[tex]^nC_r=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!r!} \\\\^{20}C_8=\frac{20!}{(20-8)!8!} \\^{20}C_8=\frac{20*19*18*17*16*15*14*13*12!}{12!8!} \\^{20}C_8=\frac{20*19*18*17*16*15*14*13}{8!} \\^{20}C_8=\frac{20*19*18*17*16*15*14*13}{8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1} \\^{20}C_8=\frac{5079110400}{40320}\\^{20}C_8=125970[/tex]

So, 125790 different committees can be chosen.

Two triangles have the same base lengths. One Triangle has the height that is 4 times the height of the other triangle. Are the heights and the areas of the two triangles proportional?

Answers

YES

Area of Triangle 1

Base=b

Height= h

Area 1=A1=1/2*b*h

Area of Triangle 2

Base=b

Height= 4h

Area of triangle 2=A2=1/2*b*4h

Comparing A1 and A2

A2/A1= (1/2*b*4h)/(1/2*b*h)

= (1/2*b*4h)/(1/2*b*h)

=4/1

Ratio of heights =h2/h1= 4/1

Ratio of areas =A2/A1= 4/1

They are proportional.

Answer:

C, The marble is 3 times as likely to be black as it is to be white.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of a marble being drawn is:

number of marbles of that color/total number of marbles

Find total number of marbles

5+8+4+15= 35

So the probability of drawing:

white: 5/32

polka dot: 8/32

striped: 4/32

black: 15/32

The probability of drawing white, polka dot, or striped is obviously different, so A is wrong.

The probability of drawing every color but black is 5/32 + 8/32 + 4/32 = 17/32, which is more than the chance of drawing black, so B is wrong.

The probability of drawing black is 15/32, and that is 3 times larger than the probability of drawing white (5/32), so C is correct.

The probablility of drawing a polka dot is 8/32, which is not four times as large as stripe (4/32), so D is wrong.
