Answer: Conjecture: There is no triangle with side lengths N, 2N, and 3N (where N is a positive real number)

Proof:

We prove this by contradiction: Suppose there was an N for which we can construct a triangle with side lengths N, 2N, and 3N. We then apply the triangle inequalities tests. It must hold that:

N + 2N > 3N

3N > 3N

3 > 3

which is False, for any value of N. This means that the original choice of N is not possible. Since the inequality is False for any value of N, there cannot be any triangle with the given side lengths, thus proving our conjecture.

Suppose A and B are independent events. If P(A)=0.2 and P(B)=0.6, what is P(A^B)?
lawyer [7]
OK so you want the probabilty of A and B occurring.  Independet event probabilities are multiplied so its 0.2 * 0.6 = 0.12

The black graph is the graph of y=f(x). Choose the equation for the red graph.<br> Please Help me!!
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

c

Step-by-step explanation:

The red graph is the black graph translated vertically by 1 unit

Given f(x) then f(x) + c is a vertical translation of f(x)

• If c > 0 then a shift up of c units

• If c < 0 then a shift down of c units

Thus f(x) + 1

Note

y - 1 = f(x) ← add 1 to both sides

y = f(x) + 1 ← as required

The equation of the red graph is

y - 1 = f(x) → c
