HELP ASAP!!! Alex bought a notebook containing 96 pages, and numbered them from 1 through 192. Bob tore out 25 pages of Alex’s n

otebook, and added the 50 numbers he found on the pages. Could Bob have gotten 2012 as the sum? Show your logic steps on how you draw your conclusion.

<h3>Answer: No it is not possible</h3>

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

Explanation:

Page 1 is labeled with 1 and 2, which sum to 1+2 = 3

Page 2 is labeled with 3 and 4 which sum to 3+4 = 7

Page 3 is labeled with 5 and 6 which sum to 5+6 = 11

and so on until we reach

Page 96 is labeled with 191 and 192, which sum to 191+192 = 383

Note how each page has an odd page number label and an even number label (odd on the front side; even on the back side). Adding any odd number to an even number will result in an odd number. We can prove it as such

x = some odd number = 2m+1, m is any integer

y = some even number = 2n, n is an integer

x+y = 2m+1+2n = 2(m+n)+1 = some other odd integer because it is in the form 2p+1 with p = m+n as an integer

This explains why the results 3,7,11,..,383 are all odd.

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

So we effectively have this set of values {3,7,11,...,383}. This is an arithmetic sequence with 3 as the first term and 4 as the common difference.

If we add two odd numbers together, we get an even number (proof is similar to one shown above)

odd + odd = even

But if we add in another odd number, then we'll go back to an odd result

odd + odd + odd = odd

If we have an odd number of odd numbers added up, then the result will be odd. In this case, we're adding 25 values from the set {3,7,11,...,383}. The value 25 is odd, so we have an odd number of values from  {3,7,11,...,383} being added up. Therefore, the result Bob will get will always be odd. There is no way to get a sum of 2012 because this value is even.

Need help in number 12 and 13 PLEASEE!! I don’t get it and I start school the day after tomorrow
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

The explanations for the graphs are provided down below. Please let me know if you have any questions about my answer.

12 and 13 as written on the worksheet is right.

Step-by-step explanation:

12) The answer given is correct.

The relation between x and y is given as:

y=\frac{x^2}{2}-3 with x \in \{-4,-2,0,2}.

I replaced the word domain with x since the domain is the set of x's for which the relation exists.

We are going to replace x with each of the x's given to see what y corresponds to each.

Let's begin with x=-4.

y=\frac{x^2}{2}-3 with x=-4:

y=\frac{(-4)^2}{2}-3

y=\frac{16}{2}-3

y=8-3

y=5.

So (-4,5) is an ordered pair that should be on our graph.

To find this point you move left 4 from origin then up 5. Now you put a dot where you have landed. Your graph does show this point.

Moving on.

Let's do the next x: x=-2.

y=\frac{x^2}{2}-3 with x=-2:

y=\frac{(-2)^2}{2}-3

y=\frac{4}{2}-3

y=2-3

y=-1.

So (-2,-1) is an ordered pair that should be on our graph.

To find this point you move left 2 from origin and then down 1.  Now you put a dot where you have landed. Your graph shows this point as well.

Now x=0.

y=\frac{x^2}{2}-3 with x=0:

y=\frac{0^2}{2}-3

y=\frac{0}{2}-3

y=0-3

y=-3

So (0,-3) is an ordered pair that should be on our graph.

To find this point you move left and right none and down 3.  Now you put a dot where you have landed. Your graph shows this point.

Now the last point will be at x=2.

y=\frac{x^2}{2}-3 with x=2

y=\frac{2^2}{2}-3

y=\frac{4}{2}-3

y=2-3

y=-1.

So (2,-1) is an ordered pair that should be on our graph.

To find this point you move 2 units right from the origin and then down 1 unit. Now put a dot where you landed.  The graph shows this point as well.

13) The answer given is correct.

g(x)=|x| is the parent function and makes like a V shaped graph where it's vertex is at (0,0).

If we want to move this graph right 3 it becomes:

m(x)=|x-3| \text{ or } m(x)=|(-1)(-x+3)|=|-1||-x+3|=1|-x+3|=|-x+3|=|3-x|.

If you move that up once it becomes:

n(x)=|x-3|+1 or n(x)=|3-x|+1 which is the curve given.

If you don't know about transformations you can choose a few points to plug in to see what's going on with the graph.

Let's choose x=-5,-3,-1,0,1,3,5.

x=-5

f(-5)=|3--5|+1=|3+5|+1=|8|+1=8+1=9.

There is no room for (-5,9) on our graph but if you extended the left hand side of the absolute value function there you would see that (-5,9) is reached.

x=-3

f(-3)=|3--3|+1=|3+3|+1=|6|+1=6+1=7.

(-3,7) should be a point on the graph. Same thing for this point as (-5,9).

x=-1

f(-1)=|3--1|+1=|3+1|+1=|4|+1=4+1=5.

(-1,5) is located on the graph.

x=0

f(0)=|3-0|+1=|3|+1=3+1=4.

(0,4) is also located on the graph.

x=1

f(1)=|3-1|+1=|2|+1=2+1=3.

(1,3) is located on the graph.

x=3

f(3)=|3-3|+1=|0|+1=0+1=1.

(3,1) is located on the graph.

x=5

f(5)=|3-5|+1=|-2|+1=2+1=3.

(5,3) is located on the graph.

Now if we weren't given the graph already:

I would plot the points I found which were:

(-5,9)

(-3,7)

(-1,5)

(0,4)

(1,3)

(3,1)

(5,3)

We should get a basic idea of what the function looks like from these points.

I will graph them. You will have to connect these points because the domain isn't discrete like number 12 is.  That is they didn't list out elements for the domain.

I'm going to graph one more point after x=5.

How about x=7?

f(7)=|3-7|+1=|-4|+1=4+1=5

So (7,5) is also a point on the graph.

You should see that the blue points are following the red path I made there.

One alloy is 2 parts iron to 3 parts silver and another alloy is 7 parts iron to 3 parts silver. How much of each should be comb
Shalnov [3]
Let x be your first alloy
2/5x+7/10(30-x)=1/2(30)
4x+210-7x=150
3x=60
x=20
So, you need 20 lbs of the first alloy, and 10 parts of the second to make 30 lbs of half iron and half silver alloy!
