Which is a counterexample for the conditional statement shown?

Answer: Any fraction with a positive numerator and a negative denominator

Step-by-step explanation:

A counterexample in math refers to when a condition is satisfied but the result is not the conclusion that the statement said it would lead to.

In this instance, the statement is that if the numerator of the fraction is larger than the denominator, the result will be greater than 1.

If the numerator is positive and the denominator is negative then the numerator is larger than the denominator because all positive numbers are larger than negative numbers on the number line. However, the result will always be less than 1.

For instance, take the following fractions;

\frac{5}{-2}  = -2.5\\\\\frac{20}{-5} = -4\\\\\frac{50}{-10} = -5

In each case the numerator was larger than the denominator but the result was always less than 1.

Mr. Robredo is building a fence around a rectangular region with 36 feet of fencing. The area of the rectangular region is 65 sq
Rufina [12.5K]
P = 2(L + W)
P = 36
36 = 2(L + W)
36/2 = L + W
18 = L + W....L = 18 - W

A = L * W
A = 65
L = 18 - W

65 = W(18 - W)
65 = 18W - W^2
W^2 - 18W + 65 = 0
(W - 13)(W - 5) = 0

W - 13 = 0  .....L = 18 - 13
W = 13            L = 5
                        

W - 5 = 0         L = 18 - 5
W = 5              L = 13

Not exactly sure which (length or width)...but one is 13 ft and the other is 5 ft

A study found that, in 2005, 12.5% of U.S. workers belonged to unions (The Wall Street Journal, January 21, 2006). Suppose a sam
Julli [10]

Answer:

There is not enough evidence to support the claim that union membership increased.  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 400

p = 12.5% = 0.125

Alpha, α = 0.05

Number of women belonging to union , x = 52

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis  

H_{0}: p = 0.125\\H_A: p > 0.125

The null hypothesis sates that 12.5% of U.S. workers belong to union and the alternate hypothesis states that there is a increase in union membership.

This is a one-tailed(right) test.  

Formula:

\hat{p} = \dfrac{x}{n} = \dfrac{52}{400} = 0.13

z = \dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}

Putting the values, we get,

z = \displaystyle\frac{0.13-0.125}{\sqrt{\frac{0.125(1-0.125)}{400}}} = 0.3023

Now, we calculate the p-value from the table.

P-value = 0.3812

Since the p-value is greater than the significance level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and accept the null hypothesis.

Conclusion:

Thus, there is not enough evidence to support the claim that union membership increased.

How to factor 5m2-29m+20?
ser-zykov [4K]

Question :

5m^2 - 29m + 20

Steps:

What can u factor to get 20?

you can make 5 and 4 to make 20 so,..

1. Break it into groups

(5m^2 - 4m) + (-25m + 20)

*Factor out m from (5m^2 - 4m) : m(5m - 4)

*Factor out -5 from (-25m + 20) : -5(5m - 4)

2. Then, you can factor out the common term : (5m - 4) because they both have it. And then u would move the m by the -5 so,...

= (5m - 4)(m - 5) <======= <em>Answer</em>


Hope this helped!!!
