What is a counterexample for the statement the difference between two integers is always positive

Mathematics

Maru [420]3 years ago

We have to give counter example for the given statement:

"The difference between two integers is always positive"

This statement is not true. As integers is the set of numbers which includes positive and as well as negative numbers including zero.

Consider any two integers say '2' and '-8'. Now, let us consider the difference between these two integers.

So, 2 - 8

= -6 which is not positive.

Therefore, it is not necessary that the difference of two integers is only positive. The difference of two integers can be positive, negative or zero.

Which angles are vertical angles?
shutvik [7]

Answer:

<DCA and <BCF

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertically opposite angles are the angles <DCA and <BCF. These angles are always equal.

  • When two lines cross, two angles that are vertical two one another are equal.
  • They are know as vertically opposite angles.
  • When two straight lines cross each other, four angles are produced.
  • The two vertically opposite have the same values.

A rectangle's width is twice as long as its length. If the perimeter is 36 in., what is the length?
Bumek [7]
Okay here: 

Let L be the length and W the width of the rectangle. 

1. w=2•L
2. 2L+2W=36

Substitute eq. 1 into eq. 2, 

2L+2•(2•L)=36

2L+4L=36

6L=36

L=9

Not done yet, then from eq. 1, 
 
W=2•L
W=2•9
W=18 <------- Your answer. :)

The probability of tossing heads with a standard coin is 1/2, because it is one of two possible outcomes. The probability of tos
spayn [35]

Answer:

  a) 1/64

  b) 1/4096

Step-by-step explanation:

As you can tell from the example, the exponent of 1/2 is the number of heads in a row.

a) p(6 heads in a row) = (1/2)^6 = 1/(2^6) = 1/64

b) p(12 heads in a row) = (1/2)^12 = 1/(2^12) = 1/4096

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The probability of a head is 1/2 because we generally are concerned with a "fair coin." That is defined as a coin in which each of the 2 possible outcomes has the same probability, 1/2. Similarly, a "fair number cube" has 6 faces, and the probability of each is defined to be the same as any other, 1/6. Loaded dice and unfair coins do sometimes show up in probability problems.
