Prove that

pentagon [3]3 years ago

LStep-by-step explanation:

(a) To proof this statement choose m = 4 and n = -1, from here we have 2(4) + 7(-1) = 1 as required. Hence th statement is true.

(b) To proof this statement choose m = 1 and n = -1, from here we have 15(1) + 12(-1) = 3 as required. Hence the statement is true.

(c) To proof this statement, suppose m and n are integers, since integers are closed under addition and multiplication then 2m, 4n and 2m + 4n are all integers. Obviously 2m and 4n are even integers, therefore their sum is also an even integer. This contradicts the equation 2m + 4m = 7, hence there do not exist integers m and n that satisfy the statement.

(d) To proof this statement, suppose m and n are integers, then 12m, 15n and 12m + 15n are all integers, since integers are closed under addition and multiplication. Factoring out 3 from the sum, we have: 3(4m + 5n). Therefore 3(4m + 5n) = 1 is a contradiction, because it will give 4m + 5n = 1/3 and addition of two integers can never give a fraction.

(e) To proof this statement, suppose m and n are integers, then 15m + 16n = t can be rewritten as 3(5m) + 8(2n) = t. Since integers are closed under multiplication, then 5m and 2n are integers. Let 5m = r and 2n = s, then we have: 3r + 8s = t as required.

(f) To proof this statement, suppose that m and n are both negative integers, we see that 12m + 15n = 1 is clearly impossible because the sum would be less than 0. Therefore, if there exist integers m and n such that 12m + 15n = 1, then they must be positive.

(g) To proof this statement, suppose m is an integer and has the form 4k + 1 for some integer k, then m + 2 = 4k + 1 + 2 = 4k + 3 = 4k + 4 - 1 = 4(k + 1) - 1. Since k is an integer then k + 1 is an integer because integers are closed under addition. Therefore, put j = k + 1. Hence we have 4j - 1.

(h) suppose that m is odd, then there is an n such that m = 2n + 1, therefore m² = (2n + 1)² = 4n² + 4n + 1 = 4(n² + n) + 1. Here, we need a lemma that says: suppose k is an integer, k(k + 1) is an even integer. This can be proven intuitively, when k is odd, the term in the bracket becomes even, and the whole expression is even. If k is even, then automatically the whole expression becomes even. Hence, our lemma is proven intuitively. This implies that n² + n is an even integer and can be replaced by 2k for some k that is an integer. Therefore, we have 4(2k) + 1 = 8k + 1 as required.

(i) suppose that m and n are odd integers such that mn = 4k - 1 for some k that is an integer. If we assume that neither m nor is in the for 4j - 1, then:

mn = (4a + 1)(4b + 1) for some a and b that are integers. Expanding that we have mn = 4(4ab + a + b) + 1 which is not in the form 4k - 1 for some k that is an integer as assumed. Therefore, if m and n are odd integers such that mn is in the form 4k - 1 for some k that is an integer, then m and n are in the form 4j - 1 for some j that is an integer.

well, let's notice something, a cube, all equal sides, has a side of 6, thus its volume is simply 6*6*6 = 216 cm³.

now, a rectangular prism, is a cuboid as well, but with varying dimensions.

let's notice something 6*6*6 is simply a multiplication of 3 numbers, let's then do a quick <u>prime factoring</u> of those numbers, well, 6 factors only into 2 and 3, so then the product of 6*6*6 can really be rewritten as (2*3)(2*3)(2*3).

well, regardless on how we rearrange the factors, the product will be the same, commutative property, so the rectangular prism will more or less have the same product and thus just about the same prime factors.

so let's rearrange on say hmmm height = 3 cm, length = 3*3 cm and width = 2*2*2 cm, notice, is still the same prime factors, 3*9*8 = 216 cm³.

What is the measure of ABC?
leva [86]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

the measure of the chord- chord angle ABC is half the sum of the arcs intercepted by the angle and its vertical angle , that is

∠ ABC = \frac{1}{2} (AC + DE) = \frac{1}{2} (75 + 45)° = \frac{1}{2} × 120° = 60°
