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.

Maria is purchasing sandwiches for her team at work. Each sandwich costs $6.25 and there is a delivery fee of $15.00, all taxes
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

The maximum number of sandwiches she can buy is 24.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can create a function to represent the cost of her team's lunch in function of the number of people in the team. We have:

cost(x) = 15 + 6.25*x

Since she needs to stay on budget, the cost has to be less or equal to 170, therefore:

cost(x) \leq 170\\15 + 6.25*x \leq 170\\6.25*x \leq 170 - 15\\x \leq \frac{155}{6.25}\\x \leq 24.8

Since she can't buy 0.8 sandwiches, the maximum number of sandwiches she can buy is 24.

20liters of mixture contain milk nad water in the ratio 5:3 if 4liters of the mixture are replaced by 4 liters of milk find the
Finger [1]

Answer:

the new ratio milk/water is  14:6  or 7:3

Step-by-step explanation:

milk/water=5/3

milk +water=5+3=8

ratio of milk=5/8  and ratio of water=3/8

if 4 liter removed from mixture then: 20=4= 16 liter

the amount of milk in 16 liter=16*5/8=10 liter of milk

the amount of water in 16 liter=16*3/8= 6 liter

add 4 liter of milk to the mixture: 10+4=14 liter of milk and 6 liter of water

the new ratio milk/water is  14:6  or 7:3

Please answer quickly,thanks you shall be marked a branliest<br>​
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

18.0  cm to 1 decimal point.

Step-by-step explanation:

First  work out the unknown side (s) of the right triangle using the Pythagoras theorem:

s^2  = 13^2 - 5^2

       = 169 - 25 = 144

s = sqrt 144 = 12 cm.

Now consider the other triangle:

s = 12

The missing angle = 180 - 65 - 40 = 75 degrees.

By the Sine Rule:

x / sin 75 = 12 / sin40

x = 12 sin 75 / sin 40

  = 18.03

F(x) = |2x + 1| + 3
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

(f + g)(x) = I2x + 1I + 1 ⇒ C

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us solve the question

∵ f(x) = I2x + 1I + 3

∵ g(x) = -2

→ We need to find (f + g)(x), which means add the two functions

∵ (f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)

→ Substitute the right side of each function on the right side

∴ (f + g)(x) = I2x + 1I + 3 + (-2)

→ Remember (+)(-) = (-)

∴ (f + g)(x) = I2x + 1I + 3 - 2

→ Add the like terms in the right side

∵ (f + g)(x) = I2x + 1I + (3 - 2)

∴ (f + g)(x) = I2x + 1I + 1
