Solve the inequality: 6≤-4/5n

Amir says the graph of<br> y= x2 + 16 has -4 as a zero. Is Amir correct?<br> Explain.

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

Amir is wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

The function y = x² + 16 is positive for any value of x, hence the graph has no intersection with the x-axis and therefore has no real zero's.

If no zero's, -4 also can't be its zero.

The first three terms of an arithmetic progression are m,12 and n . Find the value of m+n

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

<h3>Answer: 24</h3>

===========================================

Explanation:

There are a few approaches. Here's one way to solve.

Let d be the common difference between the terms.

We add d to each term of this arithmetic sequence to get the next term.

First term = m
Second term = 12 = m+d
Third term = n = (m+d)+d = m+2d

Focusing on the second equation, we can solve for d like so

m+d = 12

d = 12-m

This is then plugged into the third equation

n = m+2d

n = m+2(12-m)

n = m+24-2m

n = 24-m

Therefore,

m+n = m+(24-m) = 24

It turns out that it doesn't matter what m and n are because m+n is always equal to 24 in this case.

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

A more concrete example:

Let's say m = 2. We won't set up n just yet but we'll be able to compute it fairly soon.

Since m = 2, this means d = 12-m = 12-2 = 10. This is the gap between adjacent or neighboring terms.

If d = 10, then the third term must be n = 12+d = 12+10 = 22

We can then see that m+n = 2+22 = 24

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

I'll do another example:

m = 5

d = 12-m = 12-5 = 7

n = 12+d = 7 = 19

m+n = 5+19 = 24

Whenever in doubt, or if you get stuck, it helps to come up with actual numeric values to hopefully clear things up.

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

An alternative way to get the answer:

Let's try to determine what m+n is actually saying. We have 12 right in the middle of the first term (m) and third term (n). Because the gap between the numbers is the same (that being d), we know that 12 is the midpoint of m and n. It might help to draw out a number line to see what's going on.

The midpoint of m and n is (m+n)/2

Set this equal to 12 and isolate the "m+n"

(firstTerm+thirdTerm)/2 = second term

(m+n)/2 = 12

m+n = 2*12

m+n = 24

So in general, if the first three terms of the arithmetic sequence are m, k, n, then m+n = 2k.

What is the surface area of the right prism given below?

posledela

Answer: Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can calculate the surface area of this right prism by adding the area of its faces.

You can observe that the faces of the right prism are: Three different rectangles and two equal triangles.

The formula for calculate the area of a rectangle is:

$A=lw$

Where "l" is the lenght and "w" is the width.

The formula for calculate the area of a triangle is:

$A=\frac{bh}{2}$

Where "b" is the base and "h" is the height.

You can observe that the hypotenuse of the each triangle is the width of one of the larger rectangle, then , you can find its value with the Pythagorean Theorem:

$a=\sqrt{b^2+c^2}$

Where "a" is the hypotenuse and "b" and "c" are the legs of the triangle.

Then, this is:

$a=\sqrt{(8units)^2+(15units)^2}=17units$

Therefore, you can add the areas of the faces to find the surface area of the right prism (Since the triangles are equal, you can multiply the area of one of them by 2). This is:

$SA=(10units)(8units)+(15units)(10units)+(17units)(10units)+2(\frac{(15units)(8units)}{2})\\\\SA=520units^2$
