What numbers have an absolute value of 2 1/2

1 answer:

7 0

The absolute value of a number is that number's distance from zero. It will always be positive, even if the original number was negative.

| x | = x
| -x | = x

So,
|2 1/2| = 2 1/2
and
|-2 1/2| = 2 1/2

Hope this helps! :)

A shipment of 12 microwave ovens contains three defective units. A vending company has ordered four units, and because each has

statuscvo [17]

Answer:a) 54/55

b) 100/110

c) 99/110

Step-by-step explanation:

a)Probability of ordering 4= 9/12×3/11×2/10×1/9 = 54/11880

Probability of 4 good units= 4 × 54/11880

= 216/11880

1/55

1-(1/55) = 54/55

b)Probability of 2 good units= 2 × 54/(11880)

= 108/11880

= 1/110

1- (1/110)= 100/110

c) Probability of exactly 2 units not good= 1 -(100/110) =99/110

Use mathematical induction to prove the statement is true for all positive integers n, or show why it is false:

kondaur [170]

$\text{Proof by induction:}$
$\text{Test that the statement holds or n = 1}$

$LHS = (3 - 2)^{2} = 1$
$RHS = \frac{6 - 4}{2} = \frac{2}{2} = 1 = LHS$
$\text{Thus, the statement holds for the base case.}$

$\text{Assume the statement holds for some arbitrary term, n= k}$
$1^{2} + 4^{2} + 7^{2} + ... + (3k - 2)^{2} = \frac{k(6k^{2} - 3k - 1)}{2}$

$\text{Prove it is true for n = k + 1}$
$RTP: 1^{2} + 4^{2} + 7^{2} + ... + [3(k + 1) - 2]^{2} = \frac{(k + 1)[6(k + 1)^{2} - 3(k + 1) - 1]}{2} = \frac{(k + 1)[6k^{2} + 9k + 2]}{2}$

$LHS = \underbrace{1^{2} + 4^{2} + 7^{2} + ... + (3k - 2)^{2}}_{\frac{k(6k^{2} - 3k - 1)}{2}} + [3(k + 1) - 2]^{2}$
$= \frac{k(6k^{2} - 3k - 1)}{2} + [3(k + 1) - 2]^{2}$
$= \frac{k(6k^{2} - 3k - 1) + 2[3(k + 1) - 2]^{2}}{2}$
$= \frac{k(6k^{2} - 3k - 1) + 2(3k + 1)^{2}}{2}$
$= \frac{k(6k^{2} - 3k - 1) + 18k^{2} + 12k + 2}{2}$
$= \frac{k(6k^{2} - 3k - 1 + 18k + 12) + 2}{2}$
$= \frac{k(6k^{2} + 15k + 11) + 2}{}$
$= \frac{(k + 1)[6k^{2} + 9k + 2]}{2}$
$= \frac{(k + 1)[6(k + 1)^{2} - 3(k + 1) - 1]}{2}$
$= RHS$

Since it is true for n = 1, n = k, and n = k + 1, by the principles of mathematical induction, it is true for all positive values of n.

Find the constant of variation k for the direct variation 4x = -y

7nadin3 [17]

Y=kx
solve for y

-y=4x
divide both sides by -1 aka times -1 both sides
y=-4x
y=kx

the constnat is -4
