What is the least number of colors you need to correct color in the sections of these pictures so that no two touching sections

are the same color?

You would assume that in this figure, the number of colored sections with which are not colored with respect to a " touching " colored section, would be half of the total colored sections. However that is not the case, the sections are not alternating as they still meet at a common point. After all, it notes no two touching sections, not adjacent sections. Their is no equation to calculate this requirement with respect to the total number of sections.

Let's say that we take one triangle as the starting. This triangle will be the start of a chain of other triangles that have no two touching sections, specifically 7 triangles. If a square were to be this starting shape, there are 5 shapes that have no touching sections, 3 being a square, the other two triangles. This is presumably a lower value as a square occupies two times as much space, but it also depends on the positioning. Therefore, the least number of colored sections you can color in the sections meeting the given requirement, is 5 sections for this first figure.

Respectively the solution for this second figure is 5 sections as well.

1. The ordered pair (-1, -1) is a solution of the system -4x + 2y = 2 and x + y = -2.
Nastasia [14]
1: (-1,-1) is (x, y) to see if it is a solution, you would just plug in x and y and see if the equation is true.
-4 (-1) + 2(-1) = 2
4 + -2 = 2
2 = 2 CORRECT
So... plug in x and y in the second equation to Make sure it works for that one too.
-1 + -1 = -2
-2 = -2 CORRECT
So, yes. (-1,-1) is a solution to both equations.

Look at the figure which step should be taken next to construct a line parallel to AB
FinnZ [79.3K]
My answer is the 2nd option.

Without changing the compass setting from the previous step, place the compass on point P. Draw an arc similar to the one already drawn.

Parallel lines are lines that do not meet. In this figure, point P is the point where the 2nd line can be drawn and become parallel to line AB.

Jacey obtains a 30-year 6/2 ARM at 4% with a 2/6 cap structure in the amount of $224,500. What is the monthly payment during the
beks73 [17]
In this case we have an ARM fixed for 6 years and adjust after the initial first 6 years every 2 years after. The basic idea behind a ARM is that the interest changes periodically, but since our ARM is fixed for 6 years, our going to calculate the monthly payment during the initial period using the formula: m= \frac{P( \frac{r}{12}) }{1-(1+ \frac{r}{12})^{-12t}  }
where
m is the monthly payment
P is the amount
r is the interest rate in decimal form 
t is the number years

First we need to convert our interest rate of 4% to decimal form by dividing it by 100%:
\frac{4}{100} =0.04
We also know from our question that P=224500 and t=30, so lets replace those values into our formula to find the monthly payment:
m= \frac{224500( \frac{0.04}{12}) }{1-(1+ \frac{0.04}{12})^{-(12)(30)}  }
m=1071.80

We can conclude that the monthly payment during the initial period is $1071.58<span />
