Answer:
The conjecture cannot work for any negative numbers, It works for x > 1.3.
Step-by-step explanation:
An odd power preserves the sign. For |x| > 1, the power increases the magnitude. For x < 0, adding -2 only increases the magnitude more. A negative number of larger magnitude will not be "greater than" the reference. It will be "less than."
It only takes a counterexample to show the conjecture is incorrect.
x^5 -2 ?? x
(-2)^5 -2 ?? (-2)
-32 -2 ?? -2
-34 < -2 . . . . . . not greater than
Answer:
option C
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
1 < x < 17
Step-by-step explanation:
9, 8
Third side should be less than 9 + 8 = 17
And it should be greater than 9 - 8 = 1
<span>A = P(1+r/2)^2t
A/P = (1+r/2)^2t
ln(A/P) = 2t ln((1+r/2))
ln(A/P)/ln(1+r/2) =2t
ln(9000/4190.51)/ln(1+0.052/2)=2t
t=15 yrs
therfore ans is C.14 years ,11 months</span>
