If b is between a and c then ab+bc=ac

1 answer:

3 0

That's false. Take the numbers 1, 3, and 5.
Let a = 1, b = 3, and c = 5.
ab + bc = ac
3 + 15 = 5
18 ≠ 5
Since 18 does not equal 5, this is false. If you were to use the distributive property on ab + bc = ac, you would get
b(a+c) = ac, which doesn't even make sense.
Have a nice day! :)

Derrick will need $39,500 in 10 years for college tuition. How much should his parents invest now at 9.5% annual interest, compo

erastova [34]

Answer:

His parents should invest $15,278.16 to reach this goal ⇒ 4th answer

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- Derrick will need $39,500 in 10 years for college tuition

∴ The future amount is $39,500

∴ The time for investment is 10 years

- P is the money his parents invest now at 9.5% annual interest,

compounded daily

∴ The rate is 9.5% per year compounded daily

- The formula of the compounded interest is:

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$ , where

# A is the future value of money

# P is the value of investment

# r is the rate of interest in decimal

# t is the time of investment

# n is the period of the time

∵ A = $39,500

∵ t = 10

∵ r = 9.5/100 = 0.095

∵ n = 365 ⇒ compounded daily

- Lets use the formula above to find P

∴ $39500=P(1+\frac{0.095}{365})^{365*10}$

∴ $39500=p(2.58539)$

- Divide both sides by 2.58539

∴ P = $15278.16

∴ His parents should invest $15,278.16 to reach this goal

Write an inequality that expresses the reason the lengths 5 feet, 10 feet, and 20 feet could not be used to make a triangle. Exp

Anit [1.1K]

The 2 smallest lengths in a triangle have to add up to be greater that the longest side of the triangle. In this case, the longest side is 20. The 2 smallest sides are 5 and 10. 5+10=15, but 15<20. This is why these 3 lengths can’t create a triangle.

How do you divide (n^2-n-29)/(n-6) ??

Orlov [11]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

see attached

Step-by-step explanation:

Polynomial long division is done the way any long division is done. Find a "partial quotient", subtract from the dividend the product of that partial quotient and the divisor. The result is a new dividend. Repeat until the degree of the dividend is less than that of the divisor.

In the attached, the "Hints" show you how the partial quotient is found, and they show you how the product of the partial quotient and divisor is found.

The partial quotient term is simply the ratio of the highest degree terms of dividend and divisor. (Unlike numerical long division, there is no guessing.)

The remainder is the dividend of lower degree than the divisor. As in numerical long division, the full quotient expresses the remainder over the divisor.

For example, 5 ÷ 3 = 1 r 2 = 1 + 2/3.

Your full quotient is (n+5) +1/(n-6).
