Can the sides of a triangle have lengths 3, 7, and 13?
Yes or No
Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the hypotenuse is 13, the 2 legs' sum HAVE to be GREATER than the hypotenuse or else it is not a triangle.
"A triangle is valid if sum of its two sides is greater than the third side."
which sequence has nth term 2n+5
a)7,21,35,
b)7,9,11,13
c)1,4,9,16
Answer:
The answer is b.Look below for details.
Step-by-step explanation:
Question no 1. The sequence has the common difference of 14.
t1=7
t2=21
t3=35
We have
tn=a+(n-1)d
=7+(n-1)14
=7+14n-14
=14n-7(Its not our answer)
Lets try b.
The common difference is 2 in this sequence.
t1=7
t2=9
t3=11
t4=13
We have
tn=7+(n-1)2
=7+2n-2
=2n+5(Its is our answer.) Got it.
A deck of cards has 5 pink, 2 gray, and 6 black cards. You pick 2 cards from the deck without replacement. What is the probability that the first card is gray and the second card is pink?
Answer:
[tex]\frac{5}{78}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find the probability that the first card is gray.
Since there are 13 cards in total, and 2 are gray, the probability will be 2/13
Next, find the probability that the second card is pink.
Since there are now 12 cards in total (since there is no replacement), and 5 are pink, the probability is 5/12.
Now, to find the probability that these are drawn in order, multiply the probabilities together:
[tex]\frac{2}{13}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{5}{12}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{5}{78}[/tex]
So, the probability is [tex]\frac{5}{78}[/tex]

19. The function f(x) = 27x – 67.5 has an
* -intercept at (a,0). The function g(x) is
defined in the table below and has an
x-intercept at (b,0). How much greater is the
value of b than the value of a?
Answer:
First we have the function f(x) = 27*x - 67.5
It has an x-intercept at (a, 0)
This means that:
f(a) = 0 = 27*a - 67.5
Solving the above equation we can find the value of a.
0 = 27*a - 67.5
67.5 = 27*a
67.5/27 = a = 2.5
Now let's look at equation g(x).
It is a linear equation, remember that a linear equation can be written as:
g(x) = y = A*x + B
Where:
A is the slope, and B is the y-intercept.
If the line passes through the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂. y₂), the slope can be written as:
A = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)
In this case we can select any two points from the table, for example, I will use the second and third points:
(1, 39) and (2, 32.5)
Then the slope is:
A = (32.5 - 39)/(2 - 1) = -6.5/1 = -6.5
Then the equation is something like:
g(x) = y = -6.5*x + B
B is the y-intercept, to find this value, we can use one of the two points we used before.
For example, (1, 39) means that g(1) = 39
Then:
g(1) = -6.5*1 + B = 39
= B = 39 + 6.5 = 45.5
Then the equation for g(x) is:
g(x) = -6.5*x + 45.5
Now, we know that g(x) has an x-intercept at (b, 0)
this means that:
g(b) = 0 = -6.5*b + 45.5
6.5*b = 45.5
b = 45.5/6.5 = 7
Then the difference between b and a is:
b - a = 7 - 2.5 = 4.5
b is equal to a plus 4.5
And the ratio is:
b/a = 7/2.5 = 2.8
b is 2,8 times larger than a.

Jay took a number n and increased it by 25%. Then, he doubled the resulting product.
Which of the following is equivalent to these two steps and would result in the same final number?
A. doubling the number and then decreasing the result by 25%
B. increasing the number by 50%
C. multiplying the number by 1.25
D. multiplying the number by 2.5
Answer: multiplying the number by 2.5
Your answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Jay took a number n and increased it by 25%. This will be:
= n + (25% × n)
= n + (0.25 × n)
= n + 0.25n
= 1.25n
Then, he doubled the resulting product. This will now be:
= 2 × 1.25n
= 2.50n
Therefore, the equivalent will be option D "multiplying the number by 2.5".

Answer:
c) 32.5
Step-by-step explanation:
the formula for the mean of a data set is-
average= sum/count
14+54+54+35+25+34+21+23=260
so now we have our sum- 260
for the count, we just have to count how many numbers there are-
8
average= sum/count
=260/8
=32.5

Math Journal Cameron buys 4 notebooks and 2 packages of pens for $16.
Olivia buys 5 notebooks and 1 package of pens for $14.75. Write and solve
a system of equations to find the price of each notebook and the price of
each package of pens. Tell what each variable represents and what each
equation represents.
(No links please)
Answer: A notebook cost $2.25
A pen cost $3.50
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the price of notebook be n
Let the price of pens be p.
Cameron buys 4 notebooks and 2 packages of pens for $16. This will be:
4n + 2p = 16 ..... equation i
Olivia buys 5 notebooks and 1 package of pens for $14.75. This will be:
5n + p = 14.75 ..... equation ii
Combining both equations will give us:
4n + 2p = 16 ..... i
5n + p = 14.75 ...... ii
Multiply equation i by 1
Multiply equation ii by 2
4n + 2p = 16 ....... iii
10n + 2p = 29.50 ...... iv
Subtract equation iii from iv
6n = 13.50
n = 13.50/6
n = 2.25
A notebook cost $2.25
Since 4n + 2p = 16 from equation I
4n + 2p = 16
4(2.25) + 2p = 16
9 + 2p = 16
2p = 16 - 9
2p = 7
p = 7/2
p = 3.5
A pen cost $3.50
A rectangle is divided into equal squares. One row covers 1/8 of the whole rectangle. There are 3 squares in each row. How many squares are in the whole rectangle?
Answer:
There are 24 squares in the entire rectangle
Step-by-step explanation:
Trom the problem, we are given that one row covers 1/8 of the entire rectangle.
We are also told that this one row, contains three squares.
In other words, what this means is that three squares cover 1/8 of the entire rectangle.
The question is now if three squares cover only 1/8 of the rectangle, how many squares cover the whole rectangle.
In fraction, we can represent a whole using 1/1
We can set up a simple relation to this effect.
3 squares give 1/8 of the rectangle
x squares give 1/1 of the rectangle
cross multiplying, we have
x = 3 ÷(1/8) = 24
Therefore, there are 24 squares in the entire rectangle
What do rhombuses always have

Step-by-step explanation:
There is a line that includes the point (4, 1) and has a slope of 1/4. what is its equation in
slope-intercept form?
Answer:
y=1/4x
Step-by-step explanation:
y=mx+b
m=1/4
so, y=1/4x+b
Now, look at our line's equation so far: . b is what we want, the 1/4 is already set and x and y are just two "free variables" sitting there. We can plug anything we want in for x and y here, but we want the equation for the line that specfically passes through the the point (4,1).
So, why not plug in for x the number 4 and for y the number 1? This will allow us to solve for b for the particular line that passes through the point you gave!.
(4,1). y=mx+b or 1=1/4 × 4+b, or solving for b: b=1-(1/4)(4). b=0.
y=1/4x+0

if a/b=2 what would 4b/a be
Answer:
2 i think
Step-by-step explanation:
if a/b is 2 then it means a/b is equivalent to 2/1 so the value of a would be 2 and the value of b would be 1 so then for 4b/a we would plug in the values giving us 4(1)/2 which gives us a final answer of 2
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
We can assume a = 2 and b = 1 since that is the smallest values that will equal 2.
add these values into the equation
4(1)/2
4/2
