The only statement that holds for the given operation is Statement II

<h3>Operations and numbers</h3>

Given the following operartions

a [] b = a+b - ab/2

We need to<u> check the true statement</u>

For the expression x [] (y+z) =  x [] y +  x [] z

x [] (y+z) = x+y+z - x(y+z)/2

x [] (y+z) = x+y+z - (xy+xz)/2

x [] y +x [] z =  x+y - xy/2 +[x+z - xz/2 ]

x [] y +x [] z = x+y+x+z -xy/2 - xz/2

x [] y +x [] z = 2x+y+z - (xy+xz)/2

This shows that the statement I is incorrect

For the second statement

y [] z =  y+z - yz/2

x [] (y [] z) = x + (y+z - yz/2) - x(y+z-yz/2)/2

x [] (y [] z) = x+y+z-yz/2 -xy/2 - xz/2+xyz/4

For the other expression

x [] y =  x+y - xy/2

(x [] y) [] z = x+y - xy/2 + z - z(x+y - xy/2)/2

(x [] y) [] z = x+y+z- xy/2 -zx/2 - zy/2 + xyz/4

This shows that x [] (y [] z) = (x [] y) [] z is correct (Statement II)

For the third statement

x [] z =  x+z - xz/2

y [] z =  y+z - yz/2

z [] 0 = z+0 - z(0)/2

z [] 0 = z

x[]z + y[]z - z[]0 = x+z - xz/2 + y+z - yz/2 - z

x[]z + y[]z - z[]0 = x+y+z - xz/2 - yz/2

For the expression (x+y)[] z

(x+y)[] z = (x+y)+z - (xyz)/2

Hence the statement III is not valid

Based on the explanations above, the only statement that holds for the given operation is Statement II

ladessa [460]
The riddle given by Dr. Watson to Sherlock Holmes is:

217 is to 335
896 is to 543
345 is to ____

We need to find the missing number of the third pair of the riddle. This is a ratio and proportion problem.

217/ 335 = 896/ 543 = 345 / x

The value of x is 209.

Geometry solve for x
Stels [109]

Answer:

x = 74 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

If we assume that this triangle is isosceles, then the sum of the two angles at the bottom is (180 - 32) degrees, or 148 degrees.  The angle x is half that, i. e., x = 74 degrees

A person invest $10,000 into a bank the bank pays 4.75% interest compounded semi annually. To the nearest 10th of a year, how lo
Mama L [17]

Answer:

T is 13.9 years to the nearest 10th of a year

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are to calculate the number of years at which someone who invests a particular amount will have a particular amount based on compound interest.

To calculate the number of years, what we do is to use the compound interest formula.

Mathematically,

A = P(1+ r/n) ^nt

Where A is the final amount after compounding all interests which is $19,200 according to the question

P is the initial amount invested which is $10,000 according to the question

r is the rate which is 4.75% according to the question = 4.75/100 = 0.0475

n is the number of times per year in which interest is compounded. This is 2 as interest is compounded semi-annually

t= ?

we plug these values;

19200 = 10,000(1+0.0475/2)^2t

divide through by 10,000

1.92 = (1+0.02375)^2t

1.92 = (1.02375)^2t

We find the log of both sides

log 1.92 = log [(1.02375)^2t)

log 1.92 = 2tlog 1.02375

2t = log 1.92/log 1.02375

2t = 27.79

t = 27.79/2

t = 13.89 years

The question asks to give answer to the nearest tenth of a year and thus t = 13.9 years
