$\begin{cases}a(0)=1\\a(n+1)=2a(n)+2&\text{for }n\ge0\end{cases}$

Use the second part of the definition (the recursive one):

$a(1)=2a(0)+2=4$
$a(2)=2a(1)+2=10$
$a(3)=2a(2)+2=22$

Trey evaluated 12/15 + 1/10 and got the answer of 13/25. which statement is true about this answer?

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

Option C. His answer is not correct, because the same can not be less than either attend

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$\frac{12}{15}+\frac{1}{10} =\frac{13}{25}$

we know that

$\frac{12}{15}=0.8$

$\frac{1}{10}=0.10$

$\frac{13}{25}=0.52$

substitute

$0.80+0.10=0.52$ ----> is not true

therefore

His answer is not correct, because the same can not be less than either attend

How many roots does this has?<br>x^2+(2√5x)+2x=-10<br>find Discriminant

Alexxandr [17]

Given:

The equation is

$x^2+(2\sqrt{5})+2x=-10$

To find:

The number of roots and discriminant of the given equation.

Solution:

We have,

$x^2+(2\sqrt{5})x+2x=-10$

The highest degree of given equation is 2. So, the number of roots is also 2.

It can be written as

$x^2+(2\sqrt{5}+2)x+10=0$

Here, $a=1, b=(2\sqrt{5}+2), c=10$ .

Discriminant of the given equation is

$D=b^2-4ac$

$D=(2\sqrt{5}+2)^2-4(1)(10)$

$D=20+8\sqrt{5}+4-40$

$D=8\sqrt{5}-16$

$D\approx 1.89>0$

Since discriminant is $8\sqrt{5}-16\approx 1.89$ , which is greater than 0, therefore, the given equation has two distinct real roots.

Describe the cross section, please help

levacccp [35]

A cross section is the shape we get when cutting straight through an object. The cross section of this object is a triangle. It is like a view into the inside of something made by cutting through it.
