Answer:

y < 1.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Subtract 2.1 from both sides

-4.2y + 2.1 - 2.1 > -2.52 - 2.1

-4.2y > -4.62

Step 2: Divide both sides by -4.2

-4.2y / -4.2 > -4.62 / -4.2

Since you divided by a negative, that flips the sign.

y < 1.1

Answer: y < 1.1

1 (15 Points]. Prove the following statement: is divisible by 3 if only if it is a sum of three consecutive integers. be ddvisbk

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

First. Let us prove that the sum of three consecutive integers is divisible by 3.

Three consecutive integers can be written as k, k+1, k+2. Then, if we denote their sum as n:

n = k+(k+1)+(k+2) = 3k+3 = 3(k+1).

So, n can be written as 3 times another integer, thus n is divisible by 3.

Second. Let us prove that any number divisible by 3 can be written as the sum of three consecutive integers.

Assume that n is divisible by 3. The above proof suggest that we write it as

n=3(k+1)=3k+3=k + k + k +1+2 = k + (k+1) + (k+2).

As k, k+1, k+2 are three consecutive integers, we have completed our goal.

Monique's son just turned 2 years old and is 34 inches tall. Monique heard that the average boy will grow approximately 2 5/8 in

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

The equation representing how old Monique son is $\mathbf{a = 2 + \dfrac{8}{21}(q-34)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

A linear function can be used to represent the constant growth rate of Monique Son.

i.e.

$q(t) = \hat q \times t + q_o$

where;

$q_o$ = initial height of Monique's son

$\hat q$ = growth rate (in)

t = time

So, the average boy grows approximately 2 5/8 inches in a year.

i.e.

$\hat q = 2 \dfrac{5}{8} \ in/yr$

$\hat q = \dfrac{21}{8} \ in/yr$

Then; from the equation $q(t) = \hat q \times t + q_o$

$34 = \dfrac{21}{8} \times 0 + q_o$

$q_o = 34\ inches$

The height of the son as a function of the age can now be expressed as:

$q(t) = \dfrac{21}{8} \times t + 34$

Then:

Making t the subject;

$q - 34 = \dfrac{21}{8} \times t$

$t = \dfrac{8}{21}(q-34)$

and the age of the son i.e. ( a (in years)) is:

a = 2 + t

So;

$\mathbf{a = 2 + \dfrac{8}{21}(q-34)}$

SO;

if q (growth rate) = 50 inches tall

Then;

$\mathbf{a = 2 + \dfrac{8}{21}(50-34)}$

$\mathbf{a = 2 + \dfrac{8}{21}(16)}$

a = 2 + 6.095

a = 8.095 years

a ≅ 8 years

i.e.

Monique son will be 8 years at the time Monique is 50 inches tall.
