For any integer x, x^2-x will always produce an even value. True or false

Mathematics
1 answer:
Andrej [43]4 years ago

That true. You have two ways to show it:

Method 1:

Factor the expression. You have

x^2-x = x(x-1)

So, you're multiplying two consecutive numbers. One of them must be even, and if a factor of a product is even, the result will be even.

Method 2:

If x is even, x^2 is even as well. So, x^2-x is a subtraction between even numbers, which gives an even number.

If x is odd, x^2 is odd as well. So, x^2-x is a subtraction between odd numbers, which gives an even number.

Answer:

See explaination

Step-by-step explanation:

Stoke theorem proposes that the surface integral of the curl of a function over any surface bounded by a closed path is equal to the line integral of a particular vector function round that path.

The Stoke Theorem can be used if you see a two dimensional region bounded by a closed curve, or if you see a single integral ie a line integral.

See attached file for further solution.

Olegator [25]

Answer:

a) X[bar]₁=  1839.20 cal

b) X[bar]₂= 1779.07 cal

c) S₁= 386.35 cal

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

You have two independent samples,

Sample 1: n₁= 15 children that did not eat fast food.

Sample 2: n₂= 15 children that ate fast food.

The study variables are:

X₁: Calorie consumption of a kid that does not eat fast food in one day.

X₂: Calorie consumprion of a kid that eats fast food in one day.

a)

The point estimate of the population mean is the sample mean

X[bar]₁= (∑X₁/n₁) = (27588/15)= 1839.20 cal

b)

X[bar]₂= (∑X₂/n₂)= (26686/15)= 1779.07 cal

c)

To calculate the sample standard deiation, you have to calculate the sample variance first:

S₁²= \frac{1}{n_1-1}[∑X₁² - (( ∑X₁)²/n₁)]= \frac{1}{14} + [52829538 - (\frac{27588^{2} }{15}) = 149263.4571 cal²

S₁= 386.35 cal

I hope it helps!

Answer:

y - 4 = -8/7(x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point-Slope form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

x₁ and y₁ would be the coordinates of the point (4,4).

m would be the slope -8/7.

Substituting these values:

y - 4 = -8/7(x - 4)
