Why is 2 the only number that is always 4 when added multiplied or squared

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alika [10]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

There are infinite numbers that added or multiplied will give the same answer. But, if the require this two numbers to be the same, then we need to solve the following equation to see what we found out:

x + y = x * y

Given that we want the numbers to be equal, then y=x.

x + x = x * x

2x = x^2

x^2 - 2x = 0

x(x-2) = 0

We find that NOT only x=2 meets this requirement but also x=0.

Therefore, there is another number that when added, multiplied or squared gives the same result. The other number is zero!

We can prove it:

0 × 0 = 0

0 + 0 = 0

In list T, consists of 30 positive decimals. None of which are integers. The sum of the 30 decimals is S. The estimated sum of t
Masteriza [31]

Answer: E - S = (-16 and 6)

Step-by-step explanation:1/3 of the 30 decimals in T have an even tenths digit, it follows that 1/3*(30)=10 decimals in T have an even tenths digit.

Hence: Te =list of 10 decimals

Se = sum of all 10 decimals in Te

Ee =estimated sum of all 10 decimals in Te after rounding up.

Remaining 20 decimals in T all have an odd tenths digits.

To =list of this 20 decimals

So = sum of all 20 decimals in To

Eo = estimated sum of 20 decimals in To

Hence,

E = Ee + Eo and S =Se +So, hence:

E-S, =(Ee+Eo) - (Se+So) =(Ee-Se) +(Eo-So)

Ee-Se >10 (0.1)=1

S=10(1.8)+20(1.9) =18+38=56

E=10(2)+20(1)=40

E-S =40-56=-16.

AlsoS=10(1.2)+20(1.1)=34

E=10(2)+20(1)=40

E-S=40-34=6

A student estimated a mass of 250grams, according to the scale the mass is actually 240grams. What is the percent error? (round
NeX [460]

Answer:

4.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

percent error = (estimated value - actual value)/(actual value) × 100%

Here, the estimated value is 250 g, and the actual value is 250 g.

percent error = (estimated value - actual value)/(actual value) × 100%

percent error = (250 g - 240 g)/(240 g) × 100%

percent error = 10/240 × 100%

percent error = 0.041666... × 100%

percent error = 4.2%
