Usually you prove the medians are concurrent way before you get the Ceva's Theorem.  But we do the problem as given.  Next time try to include the whole problem in the photo.

FA=FB, BE=EC, CG=GA

Answer: C. Definition of median

The medians go to the midpoints of the sides, so we have congruent segments from the foot.

FA/FB=1, BE/EC=1, CG/GA=1

Answer: A. Division of equal segment lengths yields 1

This one is cut off so we can't read the full justification, but we have equal segments so their ratio is 1.

(FA/FB)(BE/EC)(CG/GA)=1

Answer: E. Substitution property

Again the justification is cut off, but we have three things equal to 1, when we multiply them together we still get 1.

Medians are Concurrent

Answer: B. Ceva's Theorem

This is really the converse of Ceva's Theorem; we have the required ratio product equal to 1, so we know the medians are concurrent.   Technically they might be parallel (which is concurrent in the projective sense, meeting at infinity).  So we really need to show they're not parallel as well, which they can't be, but they left that part out.

I don't like this proof very much.

Answer:

B) 0.02

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Use the Binomial Theorem</u>

\displaystyle P(X=x)=\binom{n}{x}p^xq^{n-x}\\\\P(X=4)=\binom{30}{4}(0.30)^4(1-0.30)^{30-4}\\\\P(X=4)=\frac{30!}{4!(30-4)!}(0.30)^4(0.70)^{26}\\ \\P(X=4)=\frac{30!}{4!(26)!}(0.30)^4(0.70)^{26}\\ \\P(X=4)=\frac{30*29*28*27}{4*3*2*1}(0.30)^4(0.70)^{26}\\ \\P(X=4)=27405(0.30)^4(0.70)^{26}\\\\P(X=4)\approx0.0208

We have the probability of success, p=0.30, and the probability of failure, q=1-0.30=0.70. The binomial coefficient, \binom{n}{k}, represents the amount of possible combinations that k items can be chosen out of n items, with its respective formula \frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}.

Hence, the best choice for the probability that 4 students chosen at random from the class of 30 that want the next test to be on Monday will be option B, 0.02

Zina [86]
So 5^2 -4^2 is 25-16 which is 9
6^2/9 is 36/9 which is 4 +9 is 13
13(13) is 169

The product of two consecutive positive integers is 56. Find the two integers
vredina [299]

Answer:

Two consecutive integers are of the form

x and x + 1

Their product is equal to 56

x(x + 1) = 56

Solve and find the two numbers x and x + 1. The above equation may be written as follows

x2 + x - 56 = 0

Factor and solve

(x - 7)(x + 8) = 0

solutions: x = 7 , x = -8

x= - 8 is not valid since the number sought must be positive. Hence

x = 7 and x + 1 = 8 are the two consecutive numbers.
