For the difference to be positive, when both the minuend and the subtrahend are positive, the former must be greater than the latter.

Therefore

minuend = 2 ⇒ subtrahend = 1 ← 1 number

minuend = 3 ⇒ subtrahend = 1,2 ← 2 numbers

minuend = 4 ⇒ subtrahend = 1,2,3 ← 3 numbers

minuend = 5 ⇒ subtrahend = 1,2,3,4 ← 4 numbers

minuend = 6 ⇒ subtrahend = 1,2,3,4,5 ← 5 numbers

1+2+3+4+5=<u>15</u>

Factorize 216x^3 + 64y^3
marin [14]

Answer:

8( 3x+2y) ( 9x^2 -6xy +4y^2)

Step-by-step explanation:

216x^3 + 64y^3

Factor out the greatest common factor of 8

8( 27x^3 +8y^3)

Rewriting

8 ( (3x)^3 + (2y)^2))

Recognizing this as the difference of cubes)

a^3 + b^3 = (a+b) (a^2-ab+b^2)

8 ( (3x)^3 + (2y)^2)) = 8( 3x+2y) ( 9x^2 -(3x)(2y) +4y^2)

                                 =8( 3x+2y) ( 9x^2 -6xy +4y^2)

The centre of the rotation is A

The line of the reflection is Y

Vertex A of the triangle ABC when rotated by 90° counterclockwise about the origin,

Rule to be followed,

A(x, y) → P(-y, x)

Therefore, A(1, 1) → P(-1, 1)

Similarly, B(3, 2) → Q(-2, 3)

C(2, 5) → R(-5, 2)

Triangle given in second quadrant will be the triangle PQR.

If the point P of triangle PQR is reflected across a line y = x,

Rule to be followed,

P(x, y) → X(y, x)

P(-1, 1) → X(1, -1)

Similarly, Q(-2, 3) → Y(3, -2)

R(-5, 2) → Z(2, -5)

Therefore, triangle given in the fourth quadrant is triangle XYZ.

A store was keeping track of how many bottles of hand sanitizer and soap bars were sold last week. A bottle of hand sanitizer co
agasfer [191]

Answer:

Hand sanitizer=135 bottles

Bar soap=83 bottles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the hand sanitizer and y the sop.

-Our problem can be expressed as:

x+y=218\ \ \ \ \  ...i\\\\4.25x+2.15y=752.20\ \ \ \ \  ...ii

#Make x the subject in i then substitute in ii to solve;

x=218-y\\\\\therefore 4.25(218-y)+2.15y=752.20\\\\926.5-4.25y+2.15y=752.20\\\\174.3=2.1y\\\\y=83\\\\x=218-83=135

Hence, 135 bottles of hand sanitizer and 83 bottles of bar soap were sold.
