Pythagoras says
a squared = b squared + c squared so
xsquared= 21 squared +17 squared
x squared = 441 + 34
x squared = 475
x = squared root of 475
x= 21.79mi
1 cm= 10 mm
7 cm= 70mm
difference between grasshopper and cockroach= 99mm - 70mm
= 29mm
Answer:
(x, y) = (1, 1/3)
Step-by-step explanation:
The x-coefficient in the first equation is -2 times that in the second equation, so adding twice the second equation to the first will eliminate x:
(4x -9y) +2(-2x +3y) = (1) +2(-1)
-3y = -1 . . . . simplify
y = 1/3 . . . . . divide by -3
The y-coefficient in the first equation is -3 times the y-coefficient in the second equation, so adding 3 times the second equation to the first will eliminate y:
(4x -9y) +3(-2x +3y) = (1) +3(-1)
-2x = -2 . . . . . . simplify
x = 1 . . . . . . . . . divide by -3
The solution is (x, y) = (1, 1/3).
Answer:
n=N-1
Step-by-step explanation:
You can start by imagining this scenario on a small scale, say 5 squares.
Assuming it starts on the first square, the grasshopper can cover the full 5 squares in 2 ways; either it can jump one square at a time, or it can jump all the way to the end and then backtrack. If it jumps one square at a time, it will take 4 hops to cover all 5 squares. If it jumps two squares at a time and then backtracks, it will take 2 jumps to cover the full 5 squares and then 2 to cover the 2 it missed, which is also 4. It will always be one less than the total amount of squares, since it begins on the first square and must touch the rest exactly once. Therefore, the smallest amount n is N-1. Hope this helps!
