Suppose I randomly choose 4 distinct integers between 1 and 60. Is it true, or is it not true, that at least 2 of them must differ by no more than 19.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

It’s true

Step-by-step explanation:

Proof by induction

Let the four chosen numbers be x_1, … x_4 and, without loss of generality, let x_1 < x_2, … < x_4.

For x_1 = 1, the smallest possible choice, let x_2 = x_1 + 20 = 21 be the smallest possible choice that has a difference larger than 19. Likewise, x_3 = x_2 + 20 = x_1 + 40 = 41. Then x_4 has to be at least x_3 + 20 = x_1 + 60 = 61 which is out of range.

For the induction, suppose that x_4(n) = x_1(n) + 60 > 60 and therefore x_4(n) can’t be chosen for a given x_1(n). Then incrementing x_1(n+1) = x_1(n) + 1 would require x_4(n+1) to be at least x_1(n) + 1 + 60 = x_4(n) + 1 > 61, so this is out of range as well.

For another induction, suppose that x_4(n) = x_2(n) + 40 > 60 and therefore x_4(n) can’t be chosen for a given x_2(n). Then incrementing x_2(n+1) = x_2(n) + 1 would require x_4(n+1) to be at least x_2(n+1) + 40 = x_4(n) + 1 > 61, so this is out of range as well.

Likewise, for the induction, suppose that x_4(n) = x_3(n) + 20 > 60 and therefore x_4(n) can’t be chosen for a given x_3(n). Then incrementing x_3(n+1) = x_3(n) + 1 would require x_4(n+1) to be at least x_3(n+1) + 20 = x_4(n) + 1 > 61, so this is out of range as well.

Therefore all choices of x_1, x_2, x_3 with differences greater than 19 leaves no choice of x_4 within range with x_4 > x_3 + 19.

Norma and Albert both clean pools. Each charges a flat fee to clean a pool. Norma cleans 12 pools in 8 hours and earns $270. Albert cleans 9 pools in 7.5 hours and earns $195.75.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Noma cleans   12 pools in 8 hours

How many pools in how many minutes?

8 x 60= 480

He cleans 12 pools in 480 minutes

How many minutes does he take to clean a pool?

480/12 = 40

He cleans a pool in 40 minutes.

How much does he earn to clean a pool?

since he cleans 12 pools to earns $270

then 270/12 =22.5

Therefore, he charges $22.5 to clean a pool in 40 minutes.

Albert  9 pools in 7.5 hours

How many pools in how many minutes?

7.5 x 60= 450

He cleans 9 pools in 450 minutes

How many minutes does he take to clean a pool?

450/9 = 50

He cleans a pool in 50 minutes.

How much does he earn to clean a pool?

since he cleans 9 pools to earns $195.75

then 195.75/9 =21.75

Therefore, he charges $21.75 to clean a pool in 50 minutes.

Determine the area of the triangle when tana=1 the image is in the picture above

Answers

Answer:

The area will be:

[tex]A=18(1+\sqrt{3}) \: u^{2}[/tex] or [tex]A=49.18 \: u^{2}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the definition of tangent, we have:

[tex]tan(\alpha)=\frac{6}{\vec{AB}}[/tex]

We know that tan(α) = 1, then we can find AB

[tex]1=\frac{6}{\vec{AB}}[/tex]

[tex]\bar{AB}=6\: u[/tex]

u means any unit.

Now, we need to find the distance BC. If the angle ∠D is 60°, then ∠C must be 30°. Using the tangent definition in the triangle BCD we have:

[tex]tan(30)=\frac{6}{\bar{BC}}[/tex]

[tex]\bar{BC}=\frac{6}{tan(30)}[/tex]

[tex]\bar{BC}=\frac{6}{1/\sqrt{3}}[/tex]

[tex]\bar{BC}=6\sqrt{3} \: u[/tex]

So, the base of the triangle will be:

[tex]b=\bar{AB}+\bar{BC}=6+6\sqrt{3}=6(1+\sqrt{3}) \: u[/tex]

The area of a triangle is given by the following equation:

[tex]A=\frac{b*h}{2}[/tex]

b is the base ([tex]b=6(1+\sqrt{3})\: u[/tex])h is the height (h=6 u)

[tex]A=\frac{6(1+\sqrt{3})*6}{2}[/tex]

[tex]A=18(1+\sqrt{3})[/tex]

Therefore, the area will be [tex]A=49.18 \: u^{2}[/tex].

I hope it helps you!

HELPPPP: From the top of a light house 50 meters high, the angle of depression of a boat out at sea has a measure of 15°. Find to the nearest meter the distance from the boat to the foot of the light house, which is at sea level.

Answers

Answer:

13m

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]d=50tan(15)=13m[/tex]

The required distance from the boat to the foot of the light house, which is at sea level is 13meter

Given that,

The top of a light house 50 meters high,

The angle of depression of a boat out at sea has a measure of 15°.

We have to determine,

To the nearest meter the distance from the boat to the foot of the light house, which is at sea level.

According to the question,

The angle of depression may be found by using this formula = opposite/adjacent.

The opposite side in this case is usually the height of the observer or height in terms of location.

Therefore, angle of depression = 15degree

Height of the light house = 50m

The distance from the boat of the light house is denoted by d.

Then the distance from the boat of the light house is given as.

[tex]tan15 = \frac{d}{50} \\\\d = 50 \times tan15\\\\d = 50\times0.26\\\\d = 13[/tex]

Hence, The required distance from the boat to the foot of the light house, which is at sea level is 13meter

Where, a, b are bases and h is the height.

The area of the triangle with base 6 cm and height 8 cm is

[tex]A_1=24[/tex]

Height of the trapezoid is [tex]13-8=5\ \text{cm}[/tex] and the bases are 6 cm, 12 cm. So, the area of the trapezoid is

[tex]A_2=\dfrac{1}{2}(18)(5)[/tex]

[tex]A_2=(9)(5)[/tex]

[tex]A_2=45[/tex]

Now, the total area of the polygon is

The length of a diagonal of a square is 10 square root of 2 inches. Find the length of one side of the square.

Answers

Answer:

10inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of one side of the square be  a

If the diagonal of a square is 10√2 inches

According to pythagoras theorem

a²+a² = (10√2)²

2a² = 100(2)

2a² = 200

a² = 200/2

a² = 100

a = √100

a = 10

Hence the length of one side of the square is 10inches
