B.
Let's simply look at each conjecture and determine if it's true or false.
A. 2n– 1 is odd if n is positive: Since n is an integer, 2n will
always be even. And an even number minus 1 is always odd. Doesn't matter
if n is positive or not. So this conjecture is true.
B. 2n– 1 is always even: Once again, 2n will always be even. So 2n-1 will always be odd. This conjecture is false.
C. 2n– 1 is odd if n is even: 2n is always even, so 2n-1 will always
be odd, regardless of what n is. So this conjecture is true.
D. 2n– 1 is always odd: 2n will always be even. So 2n-1 will always be odd. Once again, this conjecture is true.
Of the 4 conjectures above, only conjecture B is false. So the answer is B.
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
DE / XY = EF / YZ
5 / 10 = 2x-1 / 14
cross-multiply:
10(2x-1) = 14(5)
20x - 10 = 70
20x = 80
x = 4
Answer:
In the equation of a straight line (when the equation is written as "y = mx + b"), the slope is the number "m" that is multiplied on the x, and "b" is the y-intercept (that is, the point where the line crosses the vertical y-axis). This useful form of the line equation is sensibly named the "slope-intercept form".
