what is Collatz conjecture?
Is Collatz conjecture always true?
What so special about 3x+1 ? ​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The Collatz Conjecture is one of the most intreging of all the possible simple statements in mathematics.

Simply put it says

if a number is even, divide by 2If a number is odd, multiply by 3 and add1. or 3x + 1The result will always wind up in a loop. Neat huh!!! Where you wind up going over the same numbers over and over. You can't escape the loop.

Try 5

It's odd so triple it and add 1. You get 1616 is even. Divide by 2. You get 88 is even. Divide by 2. You get 44 is even. Divide by 2. You get 22 is even. Divide by 2. You get 11 is odd. Triple it and add 1. You get 4. You can see you wind up doing 4 2 1 forever. The Collatz conjecture has not been proved, but every number up to 2^68 has been shown to go to this loop eventually.

Try another one -- 15. On the 16th move it goes from 4 to 2 to 1 and then keeps on repeating those 3 digits.

Take 15It's odd. Triple it and add 1. That gives 46.46 is even. Divide by 223 which is odd. Triple it and add 1  = 7070 is even. Divide by 2. 3535 is odd. Triple and add 1.  106  which is even53 which is odd.  Triple it and add 1. You get 160160 is even. Divide by 2. You get 8080 is even Divide by 2. You get 4040 is even. Divide by 2. You get 2020 is even. Divide by 2. You get 1010 is even. Divide by 2. You get 55 is odd. Triple it and add 1. You get 1616 is even. Divide by 2. You get 88 is even. Divide by 2. You get 44 is even. Divide by 2.. You get 2.2 is even. Divide by 2. You get 11 is odd and you are in the loop because you get 4 which you have already done.

Step-by-step explanation:

4/5 is the answer

Answer:

[tex]\frac{1}{30}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We require the number of minutes in a day.

i hour = 60 minutes

24 hours = 24 × 60 = 1440 minutes ( 24 hours in 1 day )

Then

fraction = [tex]\frac{48}{1440}[/tex] ( divide numerator/ denominator by 12 )

            = [tex]\frac{4}{120}[/tex] ( divide numerator/ denominator by 4 )

1. A tank is 3/5 full of water. After 330 litres of water is drawn out, it becomes 2/7 full. Find the capacity of the tank in litres.​

Answers

Answer:

1050

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = full capacity

[tex]\frac{3}{5} x=\frac{2}{7} x+330[/tex]

Move the variable to the left side by subtracting both sides by [tex]\frac{2}{7} x[/tex]

[tex]\frac{3}{5} x-\frac{2}{7}x=\frac{2}{7} x+330 -\frac{2}{7}x[/tex]

[tex]\frac{3}{5} x-\frac{2}{7} x=330[/tex]

Combine the like terms (don't forget about common denominator)

[tex]\frac{21}{35} x-\frac{10}{35} x=330[/tex]

[tex]\frac{11}{35} x=330[/tex]

Multiply both sides by [tex]\frac{35}{11}[/tex] to isolate the x

[tex](\frac{35}{11})\frac{11}{35} x=330(\frac{35}{11})[/tex]

[tex]x = 1050[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The points on a unit circle are (cos(θ), sin(θ)), where θ is the angle from the +x axis to to the ray from the origin through that point.

If the point is (√3/2, 1/2), then sin(θ) = 1/2.

A line has a slope of 11 and passes through the point (5,7). Which of these is an equation for the line? O A. y-7 = -11(x - 5) B. y + 7 = 11(x + 5) O C. y-5 = -11(x - 7) O D. y - 7 = 11(x - 5) SUBMIT​

Answers

Answer:

D. y - 7 = 11(x - 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use point slope form, y - y1 = m(x - x1), where m is the slope and (x1, y1) is a point on the line.

Plug in the given slope and point:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 7 = 11(x - 5)

So, the correct answer is D. y - 7 = 11(x - 5)

Which equation represents a slope of −4 and y-intercept of (0,2)?
y = −4x + 2
y = −2x
y = −2x − 4
y = 4x + 2

Answers

Answer:

y=-4x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We want to find out which equation represents a line with a slope of -4 and a y intercept of (0,2)

The most common way to write the equation of the line is in slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

We have everything we need to plug into the equation, let's just label the values to avoid confusion

m=-4

b=2 (when you substitute the y intercept as b, b is the value of y in the point)

Now substitute into the equation

y=-4x+2

The 3rd and 7th terms of an arithmetic progression are 6and 30 respectively determine the common difference, first term,10th term.​

Answers

Answer:

d = 6 , a₁ = - 6 and a₁₀ = 48

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of an arithmetic progression is

[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Given a₃ = 6 and a₇ = 30 , then

a₁ + 2d = 6 → (1)

a₁ + 6d = 30 → (2)

Subtract (2) from (1) term by term to eliminate a₁

4d = 24 ( divide both sides by 4 )

d = 6

Substitute d = 6 into (1)

a₁ + 2(6) = 6

a₁ + 12 = 6 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

a₁ = - 6

Then

a₁₀ = - 6 + (9 × 6) = - 6 + 54 = 48

----------------------------------------------------

Answer:

d=6

a=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

use the formula for the nth term which is

Tn=a+(n-1)d..you will have to create two equations then solve them as a simultaneous equation

T3=6 and T7=30

T3=a+(3-1)d

6=a+2d........... first equation

T7=a+(7-1)d

30=a+6d.......... second equation

then solve them as a simultaneous equation

a+2d=6

a+6d=30

-4d/-4=-24/-4

d=6

a+2d=6

a+2(6)=6

a=6-12

a=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

1/6, 2/3, 8/3, . . .

We are multiplying by 4 each time

1/6 *4 = 4/6

4/6 * 4 = 16/6

This is a geometric sequence with the common ratio of 4

an = a1 (r)^(n-1)

an = 1/6 (4) ^(n-1)

we see that we get ED from SR and need to transform 4 into 3. how do we do that ?

well,

f = 3/4

that is the scaling factor, as all side lengths in EDF are created by multiplying the corresponding side in SRT by the same scaling factor (3/4).

Answer:

  B) False

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangles are similar when their angles are the same measures. Because the angles sum to 180°, we only need to show that 2 angles of one triangle are equal to 2 angles of the other triangle.

All three of the angles of the first triangle are given: 20°, 40°, 120°.

One of the angles of the second triangle matches: 40°; but the other angle (80°) doesn't match either of 20° or 120°.

The angles aren't the same, so the triangles are not similar.

__

If we want to go to the trouble, we can figure the third angle of the second triangle. It is 180° -40° -80° = 60°.

Then the angles in the two triangles, listed smallest to largest, are ...

  20°, 40°, 120°

  40°, 60°, 80°

It is clear the angles of these triangles are not the same.
