Find a counterexample to show that the conjecture is false. The product of two positive numbers is always greater than either number.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]×[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]=[tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

This sentence isn't always true.

here is a counter example :

The trick is to use fractional numbers .

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ×[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

let's analyse this example :

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex][tex]\geq[/tex][tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]   and  [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex][tex]\geq[/tex][tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

1/2=0.5 and 1/4=0.25 but 1/8=0.125

0.125<0.25<0.5

here is another example : (1/2)*(1/3)=1/6the same thing : 1/6<1/3<1/2
Answer 2

The product of two positive numbers is less than either number i.e. 4 × (1/2) = 2 < 4 which counterexample shows that the conjecture is false.

What is the number system?

A number system is defined as a way to represent numbers on the number line using a set of symbols and approaches. These symbols, which are known as digits, are numbered 0 through 9. Based on the basic value of its digits, different types of number systems exist.

What are Arithmetic operations?

Arithmetic operations can also be specified by subtracting, dividing, and multiplying built-in functions. The operator that performs the arithmetic operation is called the arithmetic operator.

* Multiplication operation: Multiplies values on either side of the operator

For example 12*2 = 24

We have been that conjecture "The product of two positive numbers is always greater than either number."

As per the given condition,

For example: 4 × (1/2) = 2 < 4

Therefore, the product of two positive numbers is less than either number i.e. 2 < 4.

Hence, the above counterexample shows that the conjecture is false.

Julio’s rotation maps point K(–6, 9) to K’(9, 6). Which describes the rotation? A. 90 degrees clockwise rotation B. 180 degrees rotation C. 90 degrees counterclockwise rotation D. 270 degrees clockwise rotation

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is;

A. 90 degrees clockwise rotation

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information, we have;

The coordinates of the pre-image is K(-6, 9)

The coordinates of the image is k'(9, 6) which is similar to a transformation of a pre-image of (x, y) to an image of (y, -x)

The transformation from (x, y) to (y, -x) can be obtained from either;

1) A rotation of 90° (clock wise)

2) A rotation of 270° counter clockwise

Therefore, the correct option that maps K(-6, 9) to K'(9, 6) is a 90 degrees clockwise rotation.

Answer: The person above me is correct!  A. 90 degrees clockwise rotation

Bill drives 2 hours at a speed of 60 mph (miles per hour). Afterwards, he drives for 4 hours at a speed of 75 mph. What is his average
speed over the 6 hours that he spent driving

Answers

Answer:

70 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we want to calculate average speed

Mathematically, average speed = Total distance/Total time

Kindly recall distance = speed * time

for the first part;

We have: 60 * 2 = 120 miles

For the second: 4 * 75 = 300 miles

Average speed = (300 + 120)/(4 + 2) = 420/6 = 70 mph

de un tanque lleno de agua se utiliza la cuarta parte para lavar ropa, los 5/ 6 del resto para cocinar y aun quedan 100 litros de agua ¿ cuantos litros de agua tenia el tanque?¿ cuantos litros de agua se utilizan para cocinar?

Answers

Answer:

a. 800 litros

b. 500 litros

Step-by-step explanation:

Aquí, se nos dice que 1/4 del total se usa para lavar la ropa.

Lo que queda sería 1-1 / 4 = 3/4 Fuera de esto, 5/6 se usa para cocinar.

La fracción utilizada para cocinar es 5/6 * 3/4 ​​= 15/24 = 5/8

Y todavía nos quedan 100 litros.

La cantidad utilizada ya sería 1/4 + 5/8 = (2 + 5) / 8 = 7/8

Entonces la fracción no utilizada = 1-7 / 8 = 1/8

Ahora, es este 1/8 que corresponde a 100 litros.

Digamos que el volumen total es x litros inicialmente, Eso significa 1/8 * x = 100 x / 8 = 100 x = 800 litros

La fracción utilizada para cocinar es 5/8 del total, por lo que el valor sería 5/8 * 800 = 500 litros

Chris had a piece of rope that was 15 inches long. He wanted to cut the rope into pieces that were each 3/5 of an inch long. How many pieces of rope can he cut from the original rope?

Answers

Hey there! :)

Answer:

25 pieces.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for the amount of pieces that can be cut, we must divide fractions:

15 ÷ 3/5 = x

When dividing fractions, you must multiply by the reciprocal. Therefore:

[tex]\frac{15}{1}* \frac{5}{3} = \frac{75}{3} = 25[/tex]

Therefore, 25 pieces can be cut.

Answer:

25 3/5 inch long pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have 15 inches and you cut it into less than inch pieces, you know for sure that it will be more than 15 but less than 30 because the peices are more than half an inch.

to find the answer, you divide 15 by 3/5 because each piece is 3/5 inches long

when you put this into a calculator 15/(3/5) you will get the answer 25.

So, ANSWER = 25 pieces of rope that are 3/5 inches long

Hope this helps and you will understand if you face a problem similar to this :)

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's do the difference of two squares:

[tex](1-cos^4(\theta))=(1-cos^2(\theta))(1+cos^2(\theta))[/tex]

Note that [tex]sin^2(\theta)=1-cos^2(\theta)[/tex] (Pythagorean Identity)

Thus, we can substitute:

[tex]sin^2(\theta)(1+cos^2(\theta))[/tex]

Now, and I'm serious, you just have to use your creativity. After a while, you will find that:

[tex]sin^2(\theta)+cos^2(\theta)=1[/tex]

So:

[tex]1+sin^2(\theta)+cos^2(\theta)=1+1[/tex]

Thus, we have [tex]1+cos^2(\theta)=2-sin^2(\theta)[/tex]

Now, we can substitute:

[tex]sin^2(\theta)(2-sin^2(\theta))=2sin^2(\theta)-sin^4(\theta)[/tex]

assume that y varies inversely with x. if y = 8 when x = 1.55, find x when y = -0.62

Answers

Answer:

y varies inversely with x is written as

y = k /x

where k is the constant of variation

y = 8 x = 1.55

8 = k / 1.55

Multiply through by 1.55

k = 12.4

The formula is

y = 12.4 / x

when y = - 0.62

- 0.62 = 12.4/x

- 0.62x = 12.4

Divide both sides by - 0.62

x = 12.4/-0.62

x = - 20

When y = - 0.62 x = - 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula the amusement parc use is  100y-39000=55(x-800)

The slope intercept form of a function is wriiten generally as:

y = mx+c

m is a slope c is a constant and represents the y-intercept x is a variable y is the input of the function

Let's rewrite our equation in the precedent form

100y-39000 = 55(x-800)100y -39000 = 55x-44000    add 39000 in both sides100y-39000+39000 = 55x-44000+39000100y = 55x-5000            divide both sides by 100y = 0.55x-50

The slope intercept form of this equation is:

y= 0.55x-50

Answer:

y=55x+38992

Explanation:

You have to turn the equation into the form y=mx+b

Step 1: Get y by itself(divide both sides by 100)

100y-39,000=55(x-800)

100/100y-39,000=55(x-800)/100

y-39,000=55(x-800)/100

Step 2: Get y by itself(+ 39000 to both sides)

y-39,000=55(x-800)/100

 +39,000=55x-800/100+39,000

y=55x-800/100=39,000

Step 3: Simplify

y=55x+38992
