Answer:

1999 moves are required.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is - In solving a jigsaw puzzle, a move consists of joining two clusters, including clusters of just one piece.

This means exactly n-1 moves are required to solve a jigsaw puzzle with n pieces.

Here, n = 2000

So, moves will be = 2000-1=1999

Hence. 1999 moves are needed to solve the puzzle.

Solution: As always, try to find a way of looking at the problem that makes the solution simple. In this problem, regardless of the current state of the puzzle, a move consists of combining two clusters into a single cluster. Therefore every move reduces the number of clusters by 1. Since we begin with 2000 clusters (the single pieces) and end with 1 cluster, we need \[2000-1=\boxed{1999}\] moves to complete the puzzle.

Answer:

C. y₂ = (1 + (t/n))²

Step-by-step explanation:

yₙ₊₁ = yₙ + Δt F(tₙ, yₙ)

yₙ₊₁ = yₙ + Δt yₙ

yₙ₊₁ = yₙ + (t/n) yₙ

When n=0:

y₁ = y₀ + (t/n) y₀

y₁ = 1 + (t/n)

When n=1:

y₂ = y₁ + (t/n) y₁

y₂ = 1 + (t/n) + (t/n) (1 + (t/n))

y₂ = 1 + (t/n) + (t/n) + (t/n)²

y₂ = 1 + 2(t/n) + (t/n)²

y₂ = (1 + (t/n))²

Can someone please help me with this geometry question.
galben [10]

To find w, you subtract 117 from 180. After that you get w = 63. Now you add 63 and 31 to get 94. You then subtract 94 from 180 to get x = 86. Now you add 86 and 56 to get 142. You then subtract 142 from 180 to get y = 38. Now you add 38 and 117 to get 155. Again you subtract 155 from 180 to get z = 25
