Answer:

Age of teacher = 32 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Average age of 15 students = 16 years

Sum of age of 15 students = 16 * 15 = 240 years

Average of age 15 students and a teacher = 17 years

Sum of age  15 students and a teacher = 17 * 16 =  272 years

Age of teacher = 272 - 240 = 32 years

Answer:

Age of teacher = 32 years

Therefore, the correct answer is (b)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that average is given by

Average age = Sum of ages /no. of students

We are given that the average age of 15 students is 16 years.

16 = Sum of ages/15

Sum of ages = 16×15

Sum of ages = 240

We are given that If teacher’s age is included the average increases by 1.

16 + 1 = New sum of ages/15 + 1

17 = New sum of ages/16

New sum of ages = 17×16

New sum of ages = 272

So the age of the teacher is found by

Age of teacher = New sum of ages - Sum of ages

Age of teacher = 272 - 240

Age of teacher = 32 years

Therefore, the correct answer is (b)

If a+b+c =0 show that a³+b³+c³= 3abc
slega [8]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a+b+c=0, a+b=-c,a+c=-b, b+c=-a

(a+b+c)^3=(a+b+c)^2*(a+b+c)=(a^2+b^2+c^2+2ab+2ac+2bc)*(a+b+c)=

a^3+ab^2+ac^2+2a^2b+2a^2c+2abc+a^2b+b^3+bc^2+2ab^2+2abc+2b^2c+a^2c+b^2c+c^3+2abc+2ac^2+2bc^2=a^3+b^3+c^3+3a^2b+3a^2c+3ac^2+3ab^2+3bc^2+3b^2c+6abc=

a^3+b^3+c^3+3a^2*(b+c)+3c^2(a+b)+3b^2(a+c)+6abc=

a^3+b^3+c^3+3a^2*(-a)+3c^2*(-c)+3b^2*(-b)+6abc=

a^3+b^3+c^3-3a^3-3c^3-3b^3+6abc=

6abc-2a^3-2b^3-2c^3=2(3abc-a^3-b^3-c^3)=

2*[3abc-(a^3+b^3+c^3)]=0

so 3abc-(a^3+b^3+c^3)=0

so a^3+b^3+c^3=3abc

Ksju [112]

Answer:

a² = 144

b² = 25

c² = 169

c = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

• a² = 12×12

= 144

• b² = 5×5

= 25

• a² + b² = c²

= 144 + 25 = 169

• c = _/169

= 13

Marissa notices that the top of the net is 20 inches higher than the tallest player on the team. The net is less than 90 inches
Vika [28.1K]
No, the inequality uses less than or equal to, but it should be less than. The relationship could be written as h<span> + 20 < 90. This says that the tallest player’s height plus 20 inches is less than 90 inches.</span>
