When you subtract two positive integers, is the result always a positive interager?

7 0

Answer:

  no

Step-by-step explanation:

  2 - 2 = 0, not a positive integer.

  2 - 3 = -1, a negative integer.

Obviously, the difference is only positive if the number being subtracted is smaller than the number it is being subtracted from.

A bus driver pays all tolls, using only nickels and dimes, by throwing one coin at a time into the mechanical toll collector.
lutik1710 [3]

Answer: a) An = An-1 + An-2

b) 55ways

Step-by-step explanation:

a) a nickel is 5 cents and a dime is 10cent so a multiple of 5 cents is the possible way to pay the tolls in both choices.

Let An represents the number of possible ways the driver can pay a toll of 5n cents, so that

An = 5n cents

Case 1: Using a nickel for payment which is 5 cents, the number of ways given as;

An-1 = 5( n-1)

Case 2: using a dime which is two 5 cents, the number of ways is given as;

An-2 = 5(n-2)

Summing up the number of ways, we have

An = An-1 + An-2

From the relation,

If n= 0, Ao= 1

n =1, A1= 1

b) 45 cents paid in multiples of 5cents will give us 9 ways(A9)

From the relation, we have that

Ao = 1

A1 = 1

An =An-1 + An-2

Ao = 1

A1 = 1

A2 = A1+Ao = 1+1= 2

A3 = A2 + A1 = 3

A4 = A3+A2=5

A5=A4+A3=8

A6=A5+A4=13

A7 =A6+A5 = 21

A8= A7+A6= 34

A9= A8+A7= 55

So there are 55ways to pay 45cents.

What is the point slope form of a line with slope 2 that contains the point (1, -1)
mezya [45]
Point slope form is y - y1 = m(x-x1)

So,

y - (-1) = 2(x - 1)
y + 1 = 2x -2 or y + 1 = 2(x -1)

Hope this helps :)

x-x+3y+y=4
4y=4
y=1
Now, plug y into any of the original equations above and solve for x:
-x+1=3
-x=2
x=-2

What are the solutions to the equation 0 = x2 - X-6? Select two options
Ganezh [65]

Step-by-step explanation:

x2 - x - 6 = 0

x2 - 3x + 2x - 6 = 0

x(x - 3) + 2(x - 3) = 0

x - 3 = 0. x + 2 = 0

x = 3 x = - 2

Option no 2 and 5 are the correct answer
