Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

The ancient Greeks had lots of scientists and mathematicians which formulated theory still in use today. They include Archimedes principle, Pythagoras theorem etc.

The ancient Greeks required the use of a straightedge and compass instead of a straightedge and protractor in the construction of a perpendicular bisector for a given line segment.

3x+9y=75<br>8x+5y=67 <br>what is x and y?
slava [35]

There are many ways to solve simultaneous linear equations. One of my favorite for finding integer solutions is graphing. The attached graph shows the solution to be ...

... (x, y) = (4, 7)

_____

You can also use Cramer's Rule, or the Vedic math variation of it, which tells you the solution to

ax+by=c\\dx+ey=f

is given by

x=\dfrac{bf-ec}{\Delta}\\\\y=\dfrac{cd-fa}{\Delta}\qquad\text{where $\Delta=bd-ea$}

Here, that means

... x = (9·67-5·75)/(9·8-5·3) = 228/57 = 4

... y = (75·8-67·3)/57 = 399/57 = 7

_____

A (graphing) calculator greatly facilitates either of these approaches.

a carpenter has been asked to build an open box with a sqaure base. the sides of the box will cost $3 per m^2 and the base will
slamgirl [31]
<h2>Dimension of box is 2 m x 2 m x 1.33 m</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be base side and h be the height.

Volume of box, V = a²h

The sides of the box will cost $3 per m² and the base will cost $4 per m². Cost for making is $48.

That is

                 4a² + 3 x 4 x a x h = 48

                 4a² + 12 a x h = 48

                 a² + 3 ah = 12  

                 h=\frac{12-a^2}{3a}

So volume is

                    V=a^2\times \frac{12-a^2}{3a}=4a-\frac{a^3}{3}

At maximum volume we have derivative is zero,

                    dV=4da-3\times \frac{a^2}{3}da\\\\0=4-a^2\\\\a=\pm 2

Negative side is not possible, hence side of square base is 2m.

Substituting in  a² + 3 ah = 12  

                           2² + 3 x  2 x h = 12  

                             h = 1.33 m

Dimension of box is 2 m x 2 m x 1.33 m

The length of a rectangular deck is 4 times it’s width. If the deck’s perimeter is 30ft, what is the deck’s area?
ioda

Try this solution (note, this is not the shortest way):

1. if the given length is 'l' and the width is 'w', then according to the condition 4*l=w;

2. according to the condition the perimeter is 30 ft. Formula of the perimeter is P=2(l+w), then 2(l+w)=30;

3. if to substitute '4*l' instead of 'w', the formula of the perimeter (from item no. 2) will be as 2(4*l+l)=30 or 10*l=30 ⇒ l=3 ft. The length is 3 ft.!

4. if l=3 ft., then w=4*3=12 ft. The width is 12 ft.!

5. Area is

A=w*l; A=12*3=<u>36 ft²</u>

(a) Find the remainder when 15! is divided by 17. (b) Find the remainder when 2(26!) is divided by 29, Thatermine whether 17 is
dlinn [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We have 15! as the product of 1 to 15 natural numbers.  Since 17 is prime there will be no factor common to these

By actual division we find

15! (mod 17) =16

From this we deduce

even 16! mod 17 = 16 = -1

According to Wilson theorem

(17-1)! = -1 mod 17

Thus verified 17 is prime

Hence 15! (mod 17) =-1=16

-----------------------

b) 2(26!) is divided by 29

Since 29 is prime

(29-1)! = -1 mod 29

28! = -1 mod 29 = 28

When divided this gives 25 as remainder
