<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

A)

When a is positive:

     Let us consider a=10

      and a+1=b

       This implies that:

          b=11

     As we know that 11>10

           Hence, b>a

When a is negative:

   Let us consider a= -2

      and a+1=b

       This implies that:

          b= -1   (Since -2+1= -1 )

     As we know that -1 > -2

           Hence, b>a

B)

No, it is not possible to create a set of values for a and b such that the numerical relationship shown in the given conditional statement is false .

Since as we no that no matter whether a is positive or negative we always have:

                        a < a+1

Hence,      a< b  ( Since b=a+1 )

for all the values of  a and b.

If a=-10;then:
a+1=-10+1=-9=b
-9>-10

if a=10; then
a+1=10+1=11=b
11>10
A)The pair of values for a and be are: a=-10, then the value of b would be: -9;
And a=10; then the value of b would be:11;

B) It isn´t possible to create a pair of values for a and be, in wich the numerical relationship shown in the given conditional stament is false, therefore b>a if a+1=b

Abigail made a quilt that has the area of 4,800 sq. inches. The length of the quilt is 1 1/3 times the width of the quilt. What
Aliun [14]
For this case we model the problem as a rectangle.
 The area of the rectangle is given by:
 A = (w) * (l)
 Where,
 w: width
 l: long
 Substituting values we have:
 4800 = (w) * ((1 1/3) * w)
 We rewrite:
 w ^ 2 = 4800 / (1 1/3)
 w ^ 2 = 3600
 w = root (3600)
 w = 60 in
 The long will be then:
 l = (1 1/3) * w
 l = (1 1/3) * (60)
 l = 80 in
 Answer:
 
the dimensions of the quilt are:
 
w = 60 in
 l = 80 in

Solve: x³-7x²+36=0.​
Aliun [14]

Answer:

3,6,-2

Step-by-step explanation:

a+2a+b = 7

2a^2b = -36

a*2a + ab + 2ab = 0

or, a(2a+3b) = 0

so, b = -2a/3

Solve those and you find 3,6,-2
