Part a) The true inequality statement is: $-2>-5$

Part b) The true inequality statement is: $-4>-7$

Part c) The true inequality is $6$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the two integers are -2 and -5.

Part a)

Write a true inequality statement.

The true inequality statement is: $-2>-5$

Part b)

Subtract-2 from each side of the inequality. Write a true inequality statement.

Subtracting -2 from each side we get:

$-2>-5\\-2-2>-5-2\\-4>-7$

The true inequality statement is: $-4>-7$

Part c)

Multiply each number by-3. Write a true inequality statement.

Multiplying -3 on both sides:

$-2>-5\\-2*-3>-5*-3\\Multiplying\,\,-3\,\,will\,\,change\,\,the\,\,inequality\,\,sign\\6$

The true inequality is $6$

Find+the+positive+value+for+α+if+the+radius+of+the+circle+3x^2+3y-6αx+12y-3α=0+is+4

Answer:

$\alpha=3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a Circle

A circle of radius r and centered on the point (h,k) can be expressed by the equation

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$

We are given the equation of a circle as

$3x^2+3y^2-6\alpha x+12y-3\alpha=0$

Note we have corrected it by adding the square to the y. Simplify by 3

$x^2+y^2-2\alpha x+4y-\alpha=0$

Complete squares and rearrange:

$x^2-2\alpha x+y^2+4y=\alpha$

$x^2-2\alpha x+\alpha^2+y^2+4y+4=\alpha+\alpha^2+4$

$(x-\alpha)^2+(y+2)^2=r^2$

We can see that, if r=4, then

$\alpha+\alpha^2+4=16$

Or, equivalently

$\alpha^2+\alpha-12=0$

There are two solutions for $\alpha$ :

$\alpha=-4,\ \alpha=3$

Keeping the positive solution, as required:

$\boxed{\alpha=3}$

500th term of 24,31,38,45,52

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

This looks like a simple arithmetic series. Each term is 7 greater than the previous term.

Therefore, the Nth term is 17 + 7N.

For example, the first term is 17 + 7*1 = 17 + 7 = 24.

The second term is 17 + 7*2 = 17 + 14 = 31

etc...

And the 500th term is 17 + 7 * 500 = 17 + 3500 = 3517

A navigator marks three locations on a satellite map as shown. If the distance from Serravalle to San Marino is 982 miles, and t

valentina_108 [34]

THE ANSWER

let be S1 = Serravalle
S2= San Marino and
S3= Chiesanuova

for finding the distance Chiesanuova from Serravalle,

(distance S1 to S2) + (distance S2 to S3) = 982 miles + 833 miles =1.815 miles

the answer is B. 1, 815 miles
