Answer:

$x=46$ and $y=45$

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, you must set up a system of equations. The first sentence says that there are two numbers and that their sum is 91, so your first equation is $x+y=91$ . For the next equation, it says that the difference of those same numbers is 1, which means that the equation is $x-y=1$ . Now, putting those two together for the system of equations, it's easiest to add them. The result will be $2x=92$ which when simplified gives you the value of x. Taking the value of x, you can substitute in the second equation to find the value of y.

Hope this helped!

Answer:

Part A

$f(n)=52-12(n-1)$

$f(n)=\left\{\begin{matrix}52\: \:if \: \:n=1 & \\f(n+1)+12& if\: n\geq 2 \end{matrix}\right.$

Part B

$(2,4,8,16,32)\: \:$ Geometric Sequence

Part C

1/4,3/4,5/4,7/4,9/4

$g(n)=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{2}{4}(n-1)\\f(n)=\left\{\begin{matrix}1/4if \: \:n=1 & \\ f(n+1)+2/4& if\: n\geq 2 \end{matrix}\right$

Part D:

$h(n)=1.1+0.4(n-1)\\h(n)=\left\{\begin{matrix}1.1 & if\:n=1 \\ h(n+1)+0.4 & if\:n\geq 2\end{matrix}\right$

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, an Arithmetic Sequence holds the same difference between each following number.

Part A

$(52,40, 28, 16)\\52-40=12\\40-28=12\\28-16=12\\d=12$

Explicit Formula

To write an explicit formula is to write it as function.

$f(n)=52-12(n-1)$

Recursive Formula

To write it as recursive formula, is to write it as recurrence given to some restrictions:

$f(n)=\left\{\begin{matrix}52\: \:if \: \:n=1 & \\f(n+1)+12& if\: n\geq 2 \end{matrix}\right.$

Part B

$(2,4,8,16,32)\: \:$

Geometric Sequence, since 2*2=4 8*2=16 and 16*2=32 and 8+2=10 8+16=24

Part C

$(\frac{1}{4},\frac{3}{4},\frac{5}{4},\frac{7}{4},\frac{9}{4})\\\$

Arithmetic Sequence, difference

$d=\frac{2}{4}$

Explicit Formula:

$g(n)=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{2}{4}(n-1)$

Recursive Formula

$g(n)=\left\{\begin{matrix}\frac{1}{4} &if\:n=1 \\ g(n+1)+\frac{2}{4} &if\: n\geq 2\end{matrix}\right.$

Part D

(1.1,1.5,1.9,2.3,2.7) Arithmetic Sequence, difference d=0.4

Explicit formula

$h(n)=1.1+0.4(n-1)\\$

Recursive Formula

$h(n)=\left\{\begin{matrix}1.1 &if\:n=1 \\ h(n+1)+0.4 &if\: n\geq 2\end{matrix}\right.$

Tpy6a [65]

Yes.
4 cups of flour/3 cups of milk= 1.33 flour/milk
2 cups of flour/ 1.5 cups of milk= 1.33 flour/milk
As you can see, these are the same ratios.

Answer:

Triangle DEF is a right, scalene triangle. It is not isosceles, obtuse, acute, or equilateral

Step-by-step explanation:

All we know about m and n are that they are not equal to each other and they are positive. This was given in the problem. See image. Once it is graphed you can see on the graph the lengths of DE and EF. Use Pythagorean theorem to calculate DF. see image.

DE is horizontal and EF is vertical, so you can see their slopes or calculate using a formula. Calculate the slope of DF. Slope is y-y on top of a fraction and x-x on the bottom of the fraction.

Lastly, use midpoint formula to find the midpoints. Average the x's and average the y's to find the x- and y-coordinates of the midpoints. See image.

Finally, DEF is a right triangle. The graph as well as the slopes show us that DE and EF form a right angle. So DEF must be a right triangle (and not obtuse nor acute) We were told that m doesNOT equal n, so the triangle cannot have two equal sides, so it cannot be isosceles (2 equal sides) nor equilateral (3 equal sides) It has 3 different lengths of sides; that is called scalene.
