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 $6$

Anna [14]

Answer:

$4125.00

14.94 years

$379.50

Step-by-step explanation:

1. A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)

4837.65 = P(1 + 0.032/4)^(4×5)

4837.65 = P(1.008)^(20)

P = 4125.00

2. A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)

10250 = 5125(1 + 0.0475/1)^(1×t)

10250 = 5125(1.0475)^t

2 = 1.0475^t

ln 2 = t ln 1.0475

t = 14.94

A King in ancient times agreed to reward the inventor of chess with one grain of wheat on the first of the 64 squares of a chess

statuscvo [17]

Let's start by visualising this concept.

Number of grains on square:
1 2 4 8 16 ...

We can see that it starts to form a geometric sequence, with the common ratio being 2.

For the first question, we simply want the fifteenth term, so we just use the nth term geometric form:
$T_n = ar^{n - 1}$
$T_{15} = 2^{14} = 16384$

Thus, there are 16, 384 grains on the fifteenth square.

The second question begs the same process, only this time, it's a summation. Using our sum to n terms of geometric sequence, we get:
$S_n = \frac{a(r^{n} - 1)}{r - 1}$
$S_{15} = \frac{2^{15} - 1}{2 - 1}$
$S_{15} = 2^{15} - 1 = 32767$

Thus, there are 32, 767 total grains on the first 15 squares, and you should be able to work the rest from here.
