If p is a positive integer,then p(p+1)(p-1) is always divisible by?

Mathematics
1 answer:
ElenaW [278]3 years ago

I am not quite sure what the choices are, but the answer to that problem is:

If p is a positive integer, then p(p+1)(p-1) is always divisible by “an even number”.

The explanation to this is that whatever number you input to that equation, the answer will always be an even number. This is due to the expression p(p+1)(p-1) which always result in a even product.

For example if p=3, then (p+1)(p-1) becomes (4)(2) giving you a even number.

And if for example if p=2, then (p+1)(p-1) becomes (3)(1) which gives an odd product, but we still have to multiply this with p therefore 2*3 = 6 which is even product. The outcome is always even number.

<span>Answer: From the choices, select the even number</span>

M(4, 2) is the midpoint of RS. The coordinate of S are (6, 1). What are the coordinates of R?
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Compare coordinates of S and M

difference in x-coordinates = 4-6 = -2

difference in y-coordinates = 2-1 = 1

x-coordinate of R = x-coordinate of M - 2 = 4-2 = 2

y-coordinate of R = y-coordinate of M + 1 = 3

R(2,3)

Find the absolute maximum and minimum values of the following functions on the given curves functions:
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

Solution has explained below:

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) f(x,y) = x+y

To find out the maximum and minimum values, we need to find first and second derivatives, we have

fx= 1, fx₁=0 and

fy= 1 and fyy=0

For stationary points fx=fy=0, which gives,

1=1=0, so that there is just one stationary point, (x,y)=(0,0)

If  fx₁  < 0 and fyy < 0, function is maximum

If  fx₁ > 0 and fyy > 0, function is minimum.

(b) g(x,y) = xy

Sol: To find out the maximum and minimum values, we need to find first and second derivatives, we have

fx= 1 and fy  = 1

fx₁ = 0 and fyy =0

for stationary points fx = fy =0, which gives 1=1=0, so that there is just one stationary points, (x,y) =(0,0)

If fx₁ < 0 and fyy < 0, function is maximum.

If  fx₁  > 0 and fyy> 0, function is minimum.

c) h(x,y) = 2x2 + y2

sol: To find out the maximum and minimum values, we need to find first and second derivatives, we have

fx = 4x  and fy = 2y

fx₁= 4  and fyy = 2

Now, taking fx = 0 and fy = 0

Gives x=0 and y=0,

Stationary points are (x,y) = (0,0)

If fx₁ < 0 and fyy < 0, solution is maximum,

If fx₁ > 0 and fyy > 0, solution is minimum,

Here, fx₁ = 4 > 0 and fyy = 2 > 0.

Multiply the polynomials (x + 6)(2x - 2). What is the product in the form ax2 + bx +c?
daser333 [38]

Answer:

x² + 10x - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is

x(2x - 2) + 6(2x - 2) ← distribute both parenthesis

= 2x² - 2x + 12x - 12 ← collect like terms

= 2x² + 10x - 12

Please help me answer this question​
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

  the correct answer is marked

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph ranges vertically between 9 and 15, starting at 9 (the minimum) when x=0. The minimum appears again at x=350.

This means the vertical offset is (9+15)/2 = 12, and the amplitude is (15 -9)/2 = 3. The period is 350, so the coefficient of x is (2π/350). All of the answer choices agree on these parameters.

So, the selection comes down to an understanding of how the sine and cosine curves vary. The sine curve starts at zero and increases from there. The cosine curve starts at its maximum (1) and decreases. Here, the curve starts a its minimum and increases, so could be the opposite of the cosine function.

  y = -3cos(2πx/350) +12 . . . . . . matches choice C
