Mathematics

Diano4ka-milaya [45]3 years ago
7 0

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Let Z be a set of integers

We have to prove that x^2-5x-1 is odd for all value of x \inZ.

There are two cases

1.When x is an odd integer number

2.when x is even integer number

1.When x is an odd integer  number

When x is positive odd integer

Then x^2  is positive odd number (because square of odd positive number is always positive an odd number )

5x is also odd number

-5x -1 = -even number

Suppose x=3

Then -15-1=-16

Odd number - even number=Odd number

Hence ,x^2-5x-1 is an odd number .

When x is negative odd number

Then  x square is positive odd number  and 5x is negative odd term term

Therefore,odd number + odd number -1=Even  number -1=Odd number

Hence x^2-5x-1 is an odd number.

2.When  x is an even number

When x is positive even number

x square is positive even number  and 5x is positive even number

Even number -Even number -1 =Even number -odd number =Odd number

Suppose x=4

x^2-5x-1=16-20-1=-5=Odd number

When x is negative even number

Then x square is positive even number  and 5x is negative even number

x^2-5x-1=Even number +Even number -1=Even number -1=Odd number

Hence, for all elements of Zx^2-5x-1is odd.

5(3a-1)-2(3a-2)=3(a+2)+v
STatiana [176]

Answer:

<u>The answer is option C. 6a-7</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

5(3a-1)-2(3a-2)=3(a+2)+v

Solve for v

∴ v = 5(3a-1)-2(3a-2) - 3(a+2)

∴ v = 15a - 5 - 6a + 4 - 3a - 6

∴ v = 15a - 6a - 3a - 5 + 4 - 6

∴ v = 6a - 7

<u>So the answer is option C. 6a-7</u>

What is the following product 3/x^2 4/x^3??
Alborosie

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  12/x^5

Step-by-step explanation:

The fractions are multiplied in the usual way. The applicable rule of exponents is ...

  (x^a)(x^b) = x^(a+b)

__

  \dfrac{3}{x^2}\cdot\dfrac{4}{x^3}=\dfrac{3\cdot4}{x^2\cdot x^3}=\dfrac{12}{x^{2+3}}=\boxed{\dfrac{12}{x^5}}

Create a pattern with the rule n+3
gtnhenbr [62]
N + 3 simply means we are adding 3 to the number before. An example of such of a pattern would look like this: 

3, 6, 9, 12

4, 7, 10, 13

5, 8, 11, 14

What’s the equation for this table? Use y=mx+b. HELP
Verdich [7]

Answer:

y = 2x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

You can check this by plugging any of the values from the table into the equation. You can find the answer by finding the slope and then using that to find the y-intercept.

y2-y1/x2-x1  

16-14/2-1 = 2/1 = 2. So our slope equals 2.

If we set x = 0 to find our y-intercept, and we know that we have a slope of 2 we can subtract 2 from 14 to get the y-intercept.

14-2 = 12. --> (0, 12) which is true because we know that the slope is 2.
