Which best explains whether a triangle with side lengths 5 cm, 13 cm, and 12 cm is a right triangle?

The pythagoream theorem (not sure if I spelled that right...lol): a^2 + b^2 = c^2......where c is the hypotenuse and it is the longest side

5^2 + 12^2 = 13^2
25 + 144 = 169
169 = 169....(correct)...so it is a right triangle

Find the geometric sum: 40 + 20 + 10 + … + 0.078125

sveticcg [70]

$S=40+20+10+\cdots+0.078125$
$S=40\left(1+\dfrac12+\dfrac14+\cdots+\dfrac1{512}\right)$
$S=40\left(1+2^{-1}+2^{-2}+\cdots+2^{-9}\right)$

$2^{-1}S=40\left(2^{-1}+2^{-2}+2^{-3}+\cdots+2^{-10}\right)$

$\implies S-2^{-1}S=40\left(1-2^{-10}\right)$
$\implies\dfrac12S=40\left(1-\dfrac1{1024}\right)$
$\implies S=80\left(1-\dfrac1{1024}\right)=\dfrac{5115}{64}=79.921875$

Which is the graph of linear inequality 6x+2y>-10

NemiM [27]

For this case we have the following inequality:
$6x + 2y\ \textgreater \ -10
$
The first thing we must do is to graph the linear function:
$6x + 2y = -10
$
Then, we must evaluate ordered pairs in the following way:
(x, y)
The ordered pairs that meet the inequality, will be included as part of the graph.
Therefore, the shaded region contains all the ordered pairs that meet the inequality.
