Answer:

a conjecture, a postulate, and a definition

Step-by-step explanation:

A premise is an assumption something is true. When completing a proof, we must use already established truths to get us from one step to another; these can be theorems, postulates, conjectures, or definitions. However, premises themselves cannot be used to prove something.

A definition and a theorem can be used as a reason in a two-column proof.

Further explanation:

Given:

The options are as follows,

(a). A true premise

(b). A conjecture

(c). A definition

(d). A theorem

Explanation:

True premise is an assumption about something is true. It is not proved.

Conjecture is a statement that has not been proved.

Definition is a statement which tells us the meaning of the word.

Theorem is a statement that has been proved.

A definition and a theorem can be used as a reason in a two-column proof.

Conjecture and true premise cannot be used as a reason in a two-column proof as they are not proved.

Option (a) is not correct as a true premise cannot be used as reason in two-column proof.

Option (b) is not correct as a conjecture cannot be used as reason in two-column proof.

Option (c) is correct can be used as a reason in a two-column proof.

Option (d) is correct can be used as a reason in a two-column proof.

Combine the like terms in the expression. Drag the item from the item bank to its corresponding match. Move to Top 11x4 − 13x314

Olenka [21]

They want you to combine the variables. So

−12x4 + 7x3 + 6x4 − 2x3 =

5x3 − 6x4

So you combine the coefficients, not the variable number, for instance -12+6=-6, and then you simply put the variable in the same place it was. You don't do anything else with it except what I just showed you

Based on the records for the past several seasons, a sports fan believes the probability the red team wins is 0.30. The fan als

ki77a [65]

Answer:

The red team is expected to win 6 fewer games than the blue team

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are concerned with calculating the number of games the red team is expected to win less than what the blue team will win, given the probability of wining of each of the teams and the total number of games

To calculate the total number of games each team is expected to win, what we do is to multiply the probability of wining of each of the teams by the total number of games

For the red team , the probability of wining P(r) = 0.3

The total number of games expected to be won is mathematically equal to 0.3 × 120 = 36 games

For the blue team , the probability of wining P(b) = 0.35

The total number of games expected to be won is mathematically equal to 0.35 × 120 = 42 games

The number of games fewer that the red team is expected to win = number of games expected to be won by the blue team - number of games expected to be won by the red team = 42 games - 36 games = 6 games

Find the sum <br>6+9+12+...+93<br><br>Sn=

Burka [1]

We notice that:
9-6 = 3
12-9 = 3 , Then we can conclude that this is an arithmetic progression with:
1st term a₁ = 6 and with common difference d = 3

So the first term is 6 and the last term is 93.
the formula of the sum in a A.P is :

S = (a + last term).n/2, n being the rank of the last term. So to be
able to find S, we have to calculate the value of n

We know that the last value of a A.P is :
last value = a₁ + (n-1)d
93 = 6 +(n-1)(3) → 93 = 6 + 3n -3 → n = 90/3 → n = 30 (rank 30th)

Now we can find the sum:
S = (a₁ + last term)n/2

S = (6+93)30/2

S = (99).15 = 1,485

Virty [35]

Answer:

6/7 in 1 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

He will use 6/7 in one hours because

1/3 = 2/7

2/3 = 4/7

1 or 3/3 = 6/7
