Answer:

Shown

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that twelve basketball players, whose uniforms are numbered 1 through 12, stand around the center ring on the court in an arbitrary arrangement.

Let us consider consecutive numbers in this set.

1+2+3 =6

After this we find the totals are more than 20.

When 1 to 12 are arbitrarily arranged, there are chances that numbers from 6 and above are having consecutive numbers.

These totals are greater than 20

Hence shown that some three consecutive players have the sum of their numbers at least 20.

(i.e. starting from if we take)

The solution to a system of two linear equations is (4, -3). One equation has a slope of 4. The slope of the other line is the n
astraxan [27]

Answer:

Hello,

First equation is false

Second equation is true

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

(4,-3) is a point of the line y=4x-19  since

-3=?4*4-19

-3=-3

2)

(4,-3) is not a point of the line y=1/4x-2 since

-3=? 1/4*4-2

-3=? 1-2

-3≠-1

I have written that because it is difficult for me to understand

"the negative reciprocal of the slope of the first"

the negative reciprocal of 4 should be -1/4.

Equation y=1/4x-2 is false.

irina [24]

Answer:

The distance between the end of the ramp and the bottom of the platform is about 9.8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

use the pythagorean theorem (a²+b²=c²) to solve

a and b are the legs, c is the hypotenuse

plug in given values:

2² + x² = 10²

solve for x:

x² + 4 = 100

x² = 96

x ≈ 9.80
