It's important to say that a conjecture, in mathematics, it's a conclusion based on certain evidence and it's supposed to be true. In this case, we have the conjecture: <em>The difference between any two whole numbers is a whole number. </em>

<em />

<em />

When you have a conjecture, the first thing you have to do is to make sure you know the meaning of each part. For example, you have to know what a whole number is. Basically, whole numbers are all the number from 0 to infinite (not decimal, not fractions), it doesn't include negative numbers.

Once you know what a whole is, then you can analyze the conjecture. Notice that the conjecture states that the difference of two whole numbers is a whole number, but if you subtract 2 - 5 you would get -3 which is an integer but not a whole number.

<h2>Therefore, the difference 2 - 5 can be a counterexample of the conjecture, proving that it's not true for all cases possible.</h2>

Simplify completely 25 w to the sixth power over 10 w to the third power divided by 30 w squared over 5 w.
Amiraneli [1.4K]
<span>25 w to the sixth power over 10 w to the third power divided by 30 w squared over 5 w.

25w</span>⁶ / 10w³  ÷ 30w² / 5w

Get the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction and multiply it with the 1st fraction

25w⁶ / 10w³   * 5w / 30w² → 25w⁶ * 5w / 10w³ * 30w² = 125w⁷ / 300w⁵ 

*When you multiply exponents with the same base, you simply add them.
w⁶ * w = w⁶⁺¹ = w⁷
w³ * w² = w³⁺² = w⁵

Cancel out w⁵
<span>125w⁷ / 300w5 </span>= 125w² / 300

Simplify the constant:
125 / 25 = 5
300 / 25 = 12

5w² / 12    is the simplified form of the given equation.

⦁ What are the key aspects of any parabola? What do the key aspects tell you about the graph?
olya-2409 [2.1K]

One form of the equation of a vertical parabola is y = x^2, which is the same as y-0 = a(x-0)^2.

If the coefficient a is positive, the parabola opens up.   If a is - the parabola opens down.

The vertex of this parabola is (0,0).  

More generally, y - k = a(x - h)^2 represents a vertical parabola that opens up if a is + and opens down if a is - and has its vertex at (h,k).

Often a = 1.  If a is greater than 1, the graph of the parabola is stretched vertically; if less than 1, the graph is compressed vertically (and thus appears to be flatter).

y - k = a(x - h)^2 is called the 'general vertex form' of a vertical parabola.

This is a quadratic equation.  With some algebra, we could rewrite

y - k = a(x - h)^2 in the form y = ax^2 + bx + c.

x-intercepts of this parabola, if any, can be found using the quadratic formula, involving the constant coefficients a, b and c.
