Answer:

Hence, the length of board is:

6.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Merry and pippin were working on a project in carpentry class.

They needed to cut 4 lengths of 1 5/8 feet from a board.

That means each of the  piece  is of length 1 5/8 feet which could be written in fraction as:

1\frac{5}{8}=\dfrac{13}{8} feet

Hence, the otal length of the board is addition of length of each board.

i.e.

\dfrac{13}{8}+\dfrac{13}{8}+\dfrac{13}{8}+\dfrac{13}{8}=4\times \dfrac{13}{8}=\dfrac{13}{2}feet=6.5feet

Hence, the length of board is:

6.5 feet

Prove that any odd number can be written as the difference of two squares
Romashka [77]
One way is by intuition

lets list all the perfect squares
1
4
9
16
25
36
49
etc


if we list their differences, we notice a pattern
4-1=3
9-4=5
16-9=7
25-16=9
36-25=11
49-36=13
etc
we notice that the difference between 2 consecutive squares is always an odd number, also the odd numbers go up


before, I said that it was false because we can't get 1, but we can do 1²-0²=1

to get negatives, reverse it
-1=0²-1²

so we can see that we can get all the odd numbers





another way I saw in another answer by Syed514 in this question: brainly.com/question/2284978

anyway
so what syed did was

any odd number can be written as 2n-1 where n is an integer


odd=2n-1
odd=0+2n1
odd=n²-n²+2n-1
odd=n²-(n²-2n+1)
odd=n²-(n-1)²
we can now see that any odd number can be written as a difference of 2 squares
we also have shown that any odd number can be written as the difference of 2 consecutive square numbers

Topic: Parallel and Perpendicular Lines
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

an equation perpendicular to the equation given will have a slope of -1, because a perpendicular slope is opposite and reciprical. if it goes through the point 4,-1 and has a slope of -1, the y intercept has to be 3. y = -x + 3

parallel lines have to have the same slope of 3.
