What is the math definition for 'counterexample'? When is counterexample used?

Mathematics
1 answer:
LenaWriter [7]3 years ago

A <u>counterexample</u> is something that proves a statement, or equation, wrong. A counterexample is used in math when someone creates a theorem, writes an equation, or creates a new rule and someone proves it to be false.

<u>For Example:</u>
Let's say that I said <em>an even number plus an odd number always equals an even number</em>. A counterexample of that would be 4 + 5 = 9, because 9 is odd, therefore proving the statement wrong.

The function Ald) = 0.45d + 180 models the amount A, in dollars, that Terry's company pays him based on
Solnce55 [7]

Answer: Choice A) $0.45

================================

Explanation:

Plug in d = 0 and you'll have A(d) = 0.45d+180 turn into A(0) = 180. This says that Terry is paid $180 even if he doesnt travel a single mile.

Now plug in d = 1. You should get A(1) = 180.45 as the result.

Subtract the results: 180.45 - 180 = 0.45

He has earned 45 cents or 0.45 dollars for traveling one mile

----------

A shortcut is to notice that the slope of the line is 0.45

It might help to view A(d) = 0.45d+180 as y = 0.45x+180. We see that the equation is in slope intercept form y = mx+b

m = slope = 0.45 tells us how much additional dollars Terry earns for each additional mile traveled

b = 180 = y intercept = starting amount of money Terry is paid, this amount does not change based on how many miles he travels.

What is the surface area of a cylinder with a height of 3 and a radius of 7?
saveliy_v [14]
Break up the problem into two parts:  1) find the surface area of the sides of the cylinder and 2) find the surface area of the top or bottom and multiply your result by 2.

Part 1:  Imagine that you cut the side of the cylinder parallel to its axis once and then open up this shape to form a rectangle.  The length of this rectangle is equal to the circumference of the cylinder times the height/length of the cylinder parallel to its axis:  A1 = 2 pi (7 units) (3 units), or 42 pi square units.

Part 2:  The total area of the two ends of the cylinder is 2 (pi [7 units]^2), or 98 pi square units.

Add these two areas together to get the total surface area of the cylinder.

There are a total of 15 bicycles and tricycles.There are 37 wheels all together if we count them up. How many tricycles and how
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer: there are eight bicycles and 7 tricycles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of bicycles that are there.

Let y represent the number of tricycles that are there.

There are a total of 15 bicycles and tricycles. This means that

x + y = 15

A bicycle has 2 wheels and a tricycle has 3 wheels. There are 37 wheels all together if we count them up. This means that

2x + 3y = 37- - - - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 15 - y into equation 1, it becomes

2(15 - y) + 3y = 37

30 - 2y + 3y = 37

- 2y + 3y = 37 - 30

y = 7

x = 15 - y = 15 - 7

x = 8
