Ten people are sitting in a row, and each is thinking of a negative integer no smaller than $-15$. Each person subtracts, from his own number, the number of the person sitting to his right (the rightmost person does nothing). Because he has nothing else to do, the rightmost person observes that all the differences were positive. Let $x$ be the greatest integer owned by one of the 10 people at the beginning. What is the minimum possible value of $x$

The point [tex](-2,2)[/tex] is a solution of the system given by [tex]y<2x+8[/tex] and [tex]y \geq -x-3[/tex]

Given point: [tex](-2,2)[/tex]

Given systems:

To find: The system to which the given point is a solution

If a point is a solution of a system, then the coordinates of the point satisfies all the equation(s) or inequation(s) of the system. So, we can substitute the x & y coordinates of the given point into the inequalities of each of the given systems and check if the inequalities are satisfied by the coordinates of the point.

(1) [tex]y>-2x+2[/tex] and [tex]y>x+5[/tex]

Substitute the coordinates of the point [tex](-2,2)[/tex] into the inequalities of the system.

Put [tex]x=-2,y=2[/tex] in [tex]y>-2x+2[/tex] to get,

[tex]2>-2(-2)+2[/tex]

[tex]2>4+2[/tex]

[tex]2>6[/tex]

The above inequality is clearly impossible and thus, the coordinates of the given point does not satisfy this inequality.

This implies that the given point is not a solution of this system.

(2) [tex]y<x+2[/tex] and [tex]y>x-1[/tex]

Substitute the coordinates of the point [tex](-2,2)[/tex] into the inequalities of the system.

Put [tex]x=-2,y=2[/tex] in [tex]y<x+2[/tex] to get,

[tex]2<-2+2[/tex]

[tex]2<0[/tex]

The above inequality is clearly impossible and thus, the coordinates of the given point does not satisfy this inequality.

This implies that the given point is not a solution of this system.

(3) [tex]y<2x+8[/tex] and [tex]y \geq -x-3[/tex]

Substitute the coordinates of the point [tex](-2,2)[/tex] into the inequalities of the system.

Put [tex]x=-2,y=2[/tex] in [tex]y<2x+8[/tex] to get,

[tex]2<2(-2)+8[/tex]

[tex]2<-4+8[/tex]

[tex]2<4[/tex]

This is a true inequality. Then, the given point satisfies the first inequality of the system.

We will now check if the point satisfies the second inequality of the system.

Put [tex]x=-2,y=2[/tex] in [tex]y \geq -x-3[/tex] to get,

[tex]2 \geq -(-2)-3[/tex]

[tex]2 \geq 2-3[/tex]

[tex]2 \geq -1[/tex]

This is also a true inequality. Then, the given point also satisfies the second inequality of the system.

Thus, the given point is a solution of this system.

(4) [tex]y<2x+3[/tex] and [tex]y \geq -2x-5[/tex]

Substitute the coordinates of the point [tex](-2,2)[/tex] into the inequalities of the system.

Put [tex]x=-2,y=2[/tex] in [tex]y<2x+3[/tex] to get,

[tex]2<2(-2)+3[/tex]

[tex]2<-4+3[/tex]

[tex]2<-1[/tex]

The above inequality is clearly impossible and thus, the coordinates of the given point does not satisfy this inequality.

This implies that the given point is not a solution of this system.

Thus, we can see that the coordinates of the given point [tex](-2,2)[/tex] satisfies the inequalities of the third system only.

Then, the point [tex](-2,2)[/tex] is a solution of the system given by [tex]y<2x+8[/tex] and [tex]y \geq -x-3[/tex].

To be honest, I don't think it has anything to do with the exponent part at all. Instead, I think it has to do with the fact that integers are inherently easier to grasp compared to fractions (which is exactly what rational numbers are).

For instance, it's much easier to say 2+3 = 5 than it is to say 1/2 + 1/4 = 3/4

So going back to the exponent example, it's easier to say

x^2*x^3 = x^(2+3) = x^5

than it is to say

x^(1/2)*x^(1/4) = x^(1/2+1/4) = x^(3/4)

So that's my opinion as to why rational exponents are more tricky to grasp compared to integer exponents. Of course, everyone learns math differently so maybe some find fractions easier than others.

Step-by-step explanation:

cos(90) = 0

around this point the cos function "mirrors" with opposite signs. cos(<90) is positive and cos(>90) is negative.

but |cos(90-a)| = |cos(90+a)| for 0 <= a <= 90

75 = 90 - 15

105 = 90 + 15

so, a = 15

and because of

|cos(90-a)| = |cos(90+a)| for 0 <= a <= 90

cos (90-15) = cos(75) = -cos(90+15) = -cos(105)

Answer:

36 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

equilateral means all sides are equally long.

a triangle has 3 sides.

in our case they are all equally long.

and their sum (all 3 sides together) is the perimeter

P = 18 = 3 × side length

side length = 18/3 = 6 ft

a square with the same side length (6) had then an area of

side length × side length = 6×6 = 6² = 36 ft²

it is important to remember : a length is measured e.g. in feet (ft). an area is then meshed in square-feet (ft²). it is important to add this to the calculated numbers to express the right dimension of these numbers.

Answer:

a(n)= 1/2 * (-8) n-1

Step-by-step explanation:

In a geometric sequence, the ratio between successive terms is constant. This means that we can move from any term to the next one by multiplying by a constant value. Let's calculate this ratio over the first few terms:

\dfrac{-256}{32}=\dfrac{32}{-4}=\dfrac{-4}{\frac12}=\blue{-8}

We see that the constant ratio between successive terms is \blue{-8}−8start color #6495ed, minus, 8, end color #6495ed. In other words, we can find any term by starting with the first term and multiplying by \blue{-8}−8start color #6495ed, minus, 8, end color #6495ed repeatedly until we get to the desired term.

Let's look at the first few terms expressed as products:

We can see that every term is the product of the first term, \red{\dfrac12}

​

start color #df0030, start fraction, 1, divided by, 2, end fraction, end color #df0030, and a power of the constant ratio, \blue{-8}−8start color #6495ed, minus, 8, end color #6495ed. Note that this power is always one less than the term number nnn. This is because the first term is the product of itself and plainly 111, which is like taking the constant ratio to the zeroth power.

Thus, we arrive at the following explicit formula (Note that \red{\dfrac12}

Step-by-step explanation:

there must be some typos here. but I try to address the right issues.

there is nothing under (a). so, really nothing to answer.

(b)

there are 20 sweets in her bag. 9 if the 20 are yellow.

so, the probability is the ratio of desired possibilities vs. total possibilities.

that is, tada! 9/20

that is the probabilty for Samira to pick a yellow sweet.

[1] (i)

again, 20 sweets to start with.

6 are green.

when she picks the first one, her probability to pick a green one is 6/20 = 3/10 = 0.3

and now, under the assumption that this came true, she picks another sweet.

this time she had only 19 left, and 5 of them are green.

so, this probabilty is 5/19

now both events need to happen for the case we are discussing. there is no overlapping, no ors, ifs and buts. it is just the product of both probabilities.

3/10 × 5/19 = 15/190 = 3/38

I think that is what the description asks for.

(ii)

that probability is

first selection is red and second is not red +

first selection is green and second is not green +

first selection is yellow and second is not yellow

so,

red and not red

5/20 = 1/4 red

15/19 not red (there are still 15 sweets of other colors in the bag, but again now only 19 total).

red and not red = 1/4 × 15/19 = 15/76 = 0.1974

green and not green

6/20 = 3/10 = green

14/19 = not green

green and not green = 3/10 × 14/19 = 52/190 = 26/95 =

= 0.2737

yellow and not yellow

9/20 = yellow

11/19 = not yellow

yellow and not yellow = 9/20 × 11/19 = 99/380 = 0.2606

so, now assuming up all 3 possibilities ("or" = sum) gives us the general possibility of selecting two different colors

= 0.7316

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way to explain this is to use slope and then writing equations for lines. The reason for that is because we are told that the production uniformly increases. That "uniform increase" is the rate of change, and since the rate of change is constant, we are talking about the slope of a line, where the rate of change is constant throughout the whole length of the line.

Create coordinates from the info given:

In the third year, 600 units were made. Time is always an x thing, so the coordinate is (3, 600). Likewise for the other bit of info. Time is always an x thing, so the coordinate is (7, 700). Applying the slope formula:

[tex]m=\frac{700-600}{7-3}=\frac{100}{4}=25[/tex]  which means that 25 units per year are produced. Write the equation to find the number of units produced in any year. I used the point-slope form of a line to do this:

y - 600 = 25(x - 3) and

y - 600 = 25x - 75 so

y = 25x + 525

If we want to know the number of units in the first year, we will replace x with 1 and do the math:

y = 25(1) + 525 so

y = 550 units, choice C.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the longer leg then x + 1 is the hypotenuse and x - 7 the shorter leg

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

x² + (x - 7)² = (x + 1)² ← expand using FOIL

x² + x² - 14x + 49 = x² + 2x + 1

2x² - 14x + 49 = x² + 2x + 1 ( subtract x² + 2x + 1 from both sides )

x² - 16x + 48 = 0 ← in standard form

(x - 4)(x - 12) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4

x - 12 = 0 ⇒ x = 12

x = 4 , then x - 7 = 4 - 7 = - 3 ← not possible

x = 12, then x - 7 = 12 - 7 = 5 and x + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13

The lengths of the 3 sides are

longer leg = 12 m , shorter leg = 5 m and hypotenuse = 13 m
