This is a question for those of you interested in mathematics or are taking proof classes: when will you know when you are writing too much or too little in a proof? I'm taking a proof class right now, and my professor doesn't do a good job of explaining this to me and just shows/implies the right answer.

Answers

Answer 1

I don't think there's a set limit either way. As long as you make sure to discuss all the relevant key ideas and theorems, then you have formed a sufficient proof. Try to be as direct as possible and it doesn't hurt to take shortcuts now and then. Remember to always clearly state what the goal of the proof is, and set up the boundaries needed (eg: x is a nonzero real number). Also, make sure you connect the "given" to the thing to be proved. I've noticed a lot of students forget to do this.

If possible, try to explain the concept to someone outside the class so you can try to get a better handle on the proof. At the same time, you don't want to spend too much time going over the very fine details. Again it's all about balance in my mind.

Which table represents a linear function?

Answers

Answer:

Find the slope for each of the points in the table. If all the slopes equal each other, the table represents a linear function. If not, then it's the opposite.

Step-by-step explanation:

(You didn't post the full picture, but I'll try to make sense of your problem and answer anyways.)

A linear function, or a line, has a constant slope. This means that no matter where you are on the line, it was always be "rising" some y and "running" some x. It will never be fluctuating in slope or anything like that because it's a line, not a curve, not a zigzag, etc. Just a line.

How do we observe this in tables? Well, remember that the slope m can be found with the following formula:

[tex]m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex]

where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two points on a line.

So, we can show that all these points have equal slopes to see if they form a line. For example, let's look at the table shown in the picture. We have five points, so let's find the slope for two of them at a time.

First, let's find the slope between (1, 5) and (2, 20).

[tex]m=\frac{20-5}{2-1} \\m=\frac{15}{1} \\m=15[/tex]

The slope between these two points is 15.

Now, let's find the slope between (2, 20) and (3, 45).

[tex]m=\frac{45-20}{3-2} \\m=\frac{25}{1} \\m=25[/tex]

And the slope is ... 25? This can't be right!

Well, it is. This means that these three points can't all form a line, and therefore, all of these points can't form a line. So, the table shown in the picture does not represent a linear function. Do this for the other tables in the question, and you got yourself your answer.

3- 7.2 kg of sugar cost R51.84.

4- It will use 4 liters of oil to travel a distance of 80km.

5- Peter can paint 8 square meters with 1 liter of paint.

Calculus

To answer the questions made, the following calculations must be made:

1. If 15 apricots cost R5.60, how many apricots will cost R10.08?

5.60 = 1510.08 = X10.08 x 15 / 5.60 = X151.2 / 5.6 = X27 = XTherefore, 27 apricots will cost R10.08.

2. How much will it cost for 1kg of polony if 0.35 kg of polony costs R25.10?

0.35 = 25.101 = X25.10 / 0.35 = X71.71 = XTherefore, 1 kg of polony will cost R71.71.

3. If 12.5 kg of sugar cost R90, how much will 7.2 kg of the sugar cost?

12.5 = 907.2 = X7.2 x 90 / 12.5 = X648 / 12.5 = X51.84 = XTherefore, 7.2 kg of sugar cost R51.84.

4. A scooter uses 6.5ℓ petrol to travel a distance of 130 km. How much petrol will it use to travel a distance of 80km?

130 = 6.580 = X80 x 6.5 / 130 = X520 / 130 = X4 = XTherefore, it will use 4 liters of oil to travel a distance of 80km.

5. Peter used 5ℓ of paint to paint a wall that is 8m long and 5m high. How many square meters can Peter paint with 1ℓ of paint?

8 x 5 = 4040 / 5 = 8Therefore, Peter can paint 8 square meters with 1 liter of paint.

Applying the leg rule, the value of b in the triangles is: C. 3√13.

What is the Leg rule?

The leg rule states that where the altitude of a right triangle bisects its hypotenuse, then, hypotenuse/leg = leg/part, of the right triangle.

Given:

Hypotenuse = 4 + 9 = 13

Leg = b

part = 9

Thus:

13/b = b/9

Cross multiply

b² = 9 × 13

b = √(9 × 13)

b = 3√13

Thus, applying the leg rule, the value of b in the triangles is: C. 3√13.

What is division?

It is the basic arithmetic operation, in which you are separating the number into some parts.

Given:

One week, Steph worked 20 hours, Marco worked 12 hours, and Destiny worked 32 hours,

Calculate the total time of work as shown below,

The total time = 20 + 12 + 32

The total time = 64 hours in a week

Calculate the daily work time as shown below,

Daily work time = 64 / 7

Gilligan sees a ship coming close to the shore he's standing on. He wants to determine the distance (segment SD) from the ship to the shore. He walks 130 ft along the shore from point D to point C and marks that spot. Then he walks 23 ft further and marks point B. He turns 90°and walks until his location (point A), point C, and point S are collinear.

Answer the following questions making sure to show all your work.

(a) Can Gilligan conclude that triangle ABC and triangle SDC are similar? Why or why not?

(b) Suppose AB = 50 ft. What is the distance from the ship to the shore? Show all your work and round your final answer to the nearest tenth of a foot.

Answers

The two triangles are both right triangles and are both formed by the

intersection of the lines AS and BD and are therefore similar.

Response:

(a) Yes, ΔABC is similar to ΔSDC according AA similarity postulate

(b) The distance from the ship to the shore is approximately 282.6 feet

How can similarity between the triangles used to find the distance SD?

(a) Yes, Gilligan can conclude that ΔABC and ΔSDC are similar by

Angle-Angle, AA, similarity postulate.

Reason:

Angle ∠SCD in ΔSDC and ∠ACB in ΔABC are vertically opposite angles,

and they are therefore congruent by vertical angles theorem.

∠SDC = 90° and ∠ABC = 90° therefore ∠SDC ≅ ∠ABC because all 90°

are congruent.

Therefore, two angles in ΔABC are congruent to two angles in ΔSDC,

therefore, ΔABC is similar to ΔSDC according to AA similarity postulate

(b) The ratio of corresponding sides in similar triangles are equal,

therefore;

[tex]\dfrac{BC}{DC} = \mathbf{\dfrac{AB}{SD}}[/tex]

Which gives;

[tex]\dfrac{23}{130} = \dfrac{50}{SD}[/tex]

[tex]SD = \dfrac{130}{23} \times 50 \approx 282.6[/tex]

The distance from the ship to the shore, SD ≈ 282.6 ft.

Grandma baked 1.5 times as many pancakes as waffles. After she baked 45 more waffles, and her grandchildren eat 12 pancakes, there were 17 more waffles than pancakes. How many waffles were there initially

Answers

Answer:

(x + 45) - (1.5x - 12) = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of waffles there were initially is; 80 waffles

Simultaneous equations

Let the number of pancakes be x.

Let the number of waffles be y

Hence, after she baked 45 more waffles, and her grandchildren eat 12 pancakes, what she has is;

y +45 waffles and x-12 pancakes.

There were 17 more waffles than pancakes.

y+45 = x-12 +17.......equation (1)

And initially, x = 1.5y

Hence, to determine y, we must substitute x = 1.5y into equation (1)

Therefore, we have;

y+ 45 = 1.5y -12+17

0.5y = 40

y = 40/0.5

y = 80 waffles.
