Answer:  The answer is yes.


Step-by-step explanation: According to Jaun, when we put together unequal groups, we can only add. We are to check whether he is correct or not.

Let us consider the addition of unequal groups and let the groups be linear polynomials (x-1), (x-2) and (x-3).

Then, adding these, we have

(x-1)+(x-3)+(x-4) = x-1+x-3+x-4 = 3x-8. Therefore, addition is the only thing that is possible here. We cannot multiply or use any other mathematical operation.

Again, let us consider the addition of equal groups (x-3), (x-3) and (x-3). Adding these, we have

(x-3)+(x-3)+(x-3) = 3x-9 = 3(x-3), i.e., addition can be written in multiplicative form too in case of equal groups.

Thus, when we put together unequal groups, addition is the only operation possible. Jaun is absolutely correct.

The point (8, –15) is on the terminal side of an angle θ. What is sin θ ?
katen-ka-za [31]
Let's calculate the hypotenuse of this right triangle:

(Hypotenuse)² = 8² + 15² = 289, Hypotenuse = √289 = 17.

a) If Ф is facing the largest side (15), then sinФ = opposite side / hypotenuse
and sinФ = 15/17 = 0.8823

b) If Ф is facing the smallest  side (8), then sinФ = opposite side / hypotenuse
and sinФ = 8/17 = 0.4705

Billy plans to paint baskets. The paint costs $14.50. The baskets cost $7.25. Write an equation that gives the total cost as a f
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Let 'x' represent the number of baskets and let 'y' be the total cost.

Since the paint costs 14.50 and each basket cost 7.25, then we have the following function:

y=7.25x+14.50

To find the cost of 4 baskets, we can make x = 4 and solve for y:

\begin{gathered} x=4 \\ \Rightarrow y=7.25(4)+14.50=29+14.50=43.50 \\ y=43.50 \end{gathered}

therefore, the cost of painting 4 baskets is $43.50

Serial numbers for a product are to be made using 2 letters followed by 2 digits. The letters are to be taken from the first 6 l
Andru [333]
Alright so I'm coming up with this on the fly; you have the first six letters (a,b,c,d,e,f) and 0-9 and your ten numbers. calculate the amount of possible combinations for the letters by simply writing them down.
ab, ac, ad, ae, a f- five
bc, bd , be, bf- four
cd, ce, cf- three
de, df- two
ef,- one.
adding these all together gets a total of 15 for the letters. now the numbers
01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09- nine
12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19- eight
23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29- seven
34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39- six
45, 46, 47, 48, 49- five
56, 57, 58, 59- four
67, 68, 69- three
78, 79- two
89- one
added together with a total of 45 combinations.
alright so, 45 different number combinations and 15 letter combinations. multiplying 15 by 45 should tell you the total possible combinations for a two letter and two number serial-number
