Answer:
This is true.
Step-by-step explanation:
1/34 + 8/17 = 1/2 = True
Answer:
√
8
≈
3
Explanation:
Note that:
2
2
=
4
<
8
<
9
=
3
2
Hence the (positive) square root of
8
is somewhere between
2
and
3
. Since
8
is much closer to
9
=
3
2
than
4
=
2
2
, we can deduce that the closest integer to the square root is
3
.
We can use this proximity of the square root of
8
to
3
to derive an efficient method for finding approximations.
Consider a quadratic with zeros

+
√
8
and
3

√

:
(

−
3
−
√

)
(

√

)
=

)

From this quadratic, we can define a sequence of integers recursively as follows:
⎧
⎪

⎪
⎩
a

a

a
n
+

The first few terms are:
0
,
1
,
6
,
35
,
204
,
1189
,
6930
,
...
The ratio between successive terms will tend very quickly towards
3
+
√
8
.
So:
√

≈

Answer:
(–10, –2), (6, 6)
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to
<u><em>Verify each case</em></u>
case 1) (5, –4), (–2, 1)
substitute in the formula
----> the slope is negative
case 2) (6, –10), (2, 10)
substitute in the formula
----> the slope is negative
case 3) (–10, –2), (6, 6)
substitute in the formula
----> the slope is positive
case 4) (5, –1), (–6, 6)
substitute in the formula
----> the slope is negative
0.36363636363 is the answer
Slope of line
m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
=(-4--6)/(6--2)
=2/8
=1/4
Line in two point form
(y-y1)=m(x-x1)
y--2=(1/4)(x-6)
y+2=(1/4)(x-6)
simplify
4(y+2)=x-6 =>
x-4y-14=0
Alternatively, use the slope intercept form:
y--2=(1/4)(x-6) =>
y=(1/4)x - 3/2-2 =>
y=(1/4)x -7/2
