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.

A triangular playground has angles with measures in ratio 8: 3: 9 what is the measure of the smallest angle
maria [59]
8x + 3× + 9x = 180

20x = 180
x = 180/20
x = 9

The smallest angle is: 3×9 = 27 degrees

Note: 180 degrees is the sum of angles in a triangle

Find the first four terms of the recursive sequence defined by the following formula: an = an-1 4 where a4 = 2 1 4 , , , 2 1 4.
Elina [12.6K]

The first four-term of the sequence is found by the given equation a_{n-1} = 4a_n is given as 144, 36, 9, and 9/4.

<h3>What is a sequence?</h3>

A sequence is a list of elements that have been ordered in a sequential manner, such that members come either before or after.

The given equation will be

\rm a_n = \dfrac{a_{n-1}}{4} \\\\a_{n-1} = 4a_n

And

a_4 = 2 \dfrac{1}{4} = \dfrac{9}{4}

For n = 4, we have

\rm a_{4-1} = 4a_4\\\\a_3 \ \ \  = 4*\dfrac{9}{4} \\\\ a_3 \ \ \ = 9

For n = 3, we have

\rm a_{3-1} = 4a_3\\\\a_2 \ \ \  = 4*9 \\\\ a_2 \ \ \ = 36

For n = 2, we have

\rm a_{2-1} = 4a_2\\\\a_1 \ \ \  = 4*36 \\\\ a_1 \ \ \ = 144

More about the sequence link is given below.
