Answer with explanation:

We have to prove that, For any integer m, 2 m×(3 m + 2) is divisible by 4.

We will prove this result with the help of Mathematical Induction.

⇒For Positive Integers

For, m=1

L HS=2×1×(3×1+2)

=2×(5)

=10

It is not divisible by 4.

⇒For Negative Integers

For, m= -1

L HS=2×(-1)×[3×(-1)+2]

=-2×(-3+2)

= (-2)× (-1)

It is not divisible by 4.

False Statement.

A sheet of paper 90 cm-by-66 cm is made into an open box (i.e. there's no top), by cutting x-cm squares out of each corner and f

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

$26 - \sqrt{181}$ cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the box is:

V = height * length * width

V = x*(66 - 2*x)*(90 - 2*x)

V = (66*x - 2*x^2)*(90 - 2*x)

V = 5940*x - 132*x^2 - 180*x^2 + 4*x^3

V = 4*x^3 - 312*x^2 + 5940*x

where x is the length of the sides of the squares, in cm.

The mathematical problem is :

Maximize: V = 4*x^3 - 312*x^2 + 5940*x

subject to:

x > 0

2*x < 66 <=> x < 33

In the maximum, the first derivative of V, dV/dx, is equal to zero

dV/dx = 12*x^2 - 624*x + 5940

From quadratic formula

$x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4(a)(c)}}{2(a)}$

$x = \frac{624 \pm \sqrt{(-624)^2 - 4(12)(5940)}}{2(12)}$

$x = \frac{624 \pm \sqrt{104256}}{24}$

$x = \frac{624 \pm \sqrt{2^6*3^2*181}}{24}$

$x = \frac{624 \pm 8*3*\sqrt{181}}{24}$

$x_1 = \frac{624 + 24*\sqrt{181}}{24}$

$x_1 = 26 + \sqrt{181}$

$x_2 = \frac{624 - 24*\sqrt{181}}{24}$

$x_2 = 26 - \sqrt{181}$

But $x_1 > 33$ , then is not the correct answer.

A person standing at the edge of a cliff throws a rock upward from a height of 180ft above ground level with an initial velocity

taurus [48]

Answer: 8.73 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following equation that models the motion of the rock:

$h(t)=-16t^{2}+64t+180$

Where $h(t)$ is the height of the rock at a time $t$ .

Now, if $h(t)=48 ft$ we can find $t$ and then the velocity of the rock at that height:

$48=-16t^{2}+64t+180$

Rearranging the equation:

$-16t^{2}+64t+132=0$

Multiplying the equation by -1:

$16t^{2}-64t-132=0$

Solving with the quadratic formula $t=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$ , where $a=16$ , $b=-64$ , $c=-132$ .

$t=\frac{-(-64)\pm\sqrt{(-64)^{2}-4(16)(-132)}}{2(16)}$

Choosing the positive result of the equation:

$t=5.5 s$

Since velocity $V$ is defined as the traveled distance $h(t)$ in a given time $t$ , we have:

$V=\frac{h(t)}{t}$

$V=\frac{48 ft}{5.5 s}$

$V=8.727 ft/s \approx 8.73 ft/s$ This is the velocity of the rock at the height of 48 feet

If you go out to eat with 3 friends and your meal was $72.50, what should you leave for gratuninty if you want to tip your waite

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

$10.88 or round up to $11

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 15 is expressed as a percent, you can convert it to a decimal.

.15, which can also be 15/100 if you were to write it as a fraction.

You are trying to find 15% of 72.50 so you would need to multiply your new decimal (.15) to your meal total. This will give you 10.875 or 10.88.

22 - 10 + (18 ÷ 3) =

juin [17]

Follow PEMDAS (parenthesis- exponents (& roots) - multiplication - division - addition - subtraction)

18/3 = 6

22 - 10 = 12

12 + 6 = 18

18 is your answer

hope this helps
