Mathematics is not discovered, it is invented

Bas_tet [7]3 years ago

Answer:

Maths can be said as both invented as well as discovered.

Like for example, if we take the Pythagoras theorem, what the theorem is based on was already existing (in sense, the sum of the altitude ² + base² was already = hypotenuse ² even without any proof, in a right angled triangle).

But for the various ways to prove the theorem, lots of formula had to be invented.

Hope this helps you...

Y intercept and slope of y= 5/2

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

y intercept at 5/2. Slope is 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for a line can be represented by the formula y=mx+b. M is the slope or rate of change and b is the y intercept. Since the equation y=5/2 does not have an x in it the slope is 0 and you have a perfectly straight horizontal line. Since we are just left with 5/2 that is our y intercept.

In other words, no matter what value you plug in for x, y will always be 5/2.

the cafeteria staff made sandwich each sandwich had either rye or white bread either ham or turkey and either cheese or no chees

nata0808 [166]

The complete question is

"The cafeteria staff made sandwiches. Each sandwich had either rye or white bread, either ham or turkey, and either cheese or no cheese. The staff made an equal number of each type of sandwich.

The sandwiches were placed on a tray. Without looking, Mary will choose a sandwich.

What are the chances that Mary will get a sandwich with cheese?"

The chances of Mary getting a sandwich with cheese is 1/2.

<h3>How to calculate the number of different ways?</h3>

The number of different sandwiches is calculated by multiplying all of the possibilities for each material being used.

rye or white bread: 2 options

ham or turkey: 2 options

cheese or no cheese: 2 options

So the number of different sandwiches = 2*2*2 = 8.

4 have cheese and 4 have no cheese, as the staff made an equal number of each type of sandwich.

So, The chances of Mary getting a sandwich with cheese is 4/8 = 1/2.

You can walk 3 miles per hour, jog 5 miles per hour, or run 10 miles per hour. You go a full hour before changing pace. At the e

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

b. How many ways arc there to go 12 miles?

≡ p(12) = 25

c. How many ways arc there to go 20 miles?

≡ p(20) = 131

d. How many ways arc there to go 22 miles?

≡p(22) 199

Step-by-step explanation:

a) supposed you walked for the first hour. Then you would have travelled 3 miles. if you jogged you would have covered 5miles and if you run you would have covered 10miles. now you have to decide how to run the rest miles from the n miles.

Thus, the number of ways one can cover n miles will be given by the recurrence relation

p(n) = p( n-3) + p( n-5) + p( n - 10)

now to solve the rest of the question, let us make a table which provides the number of ways for n = 1 to 22.

check the attachment for the table

b. How many ways arc there to go 12 miles?

≡ p(12) = 25

c. How many ways arc there to go 20 miles?

≡ p(20) = 131

d. How many ways arc there to go 22 miles?

≡p(22) 199

the graph of h is the graph of f(x)=x^2 translated 4 units left and 7 units down. Write the function H in vertex form.

adoni [48]

Answer:

f(x)=a(x - h)2 + k

Much like a linear function, k works like b in the slope-intercept formula. Like where add or subtract b would determine where the line crosses, in the linear, k determines the vertex of the parabola. If you're going to go up 2, then you need to add 2.

The h determines the movement horizontally. what you put in h determines if it moves left or right. To adjust this, you need to find the number to make the parentheses equal 0 when x equals -2 (because moving the vertex point to the left means subtraction/negatives):

x - h = 0

-2 - h = 0

-h = 2

h = -2

So the function ends up looking like:

f(x)=a(x - (-2))2 + 2

Subtracting a negative cancels the signs out to make a positive:

f(x)=a(x + 2)2 + 2
