Answer:

The given relation R is equivalence relation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

((a, b), (c, d))\in R

Where R is the relation on the set of ordered pairs of positive integers.

To prove, a relation R to be equivalence relation we need to prove that the relation is reflexive, symmetric and transitive.

1. First of all, let us check reflexive property:

Reflexive property means:

\forall a \in A \Rightarrow (a,a) \in R

Here we need to prove:

\forall (a, b) \in A \Rightarrow ((a,b), (a,b)) \in R

As per the given relation:

((a,b), (a,b) ) \Rightarrow ab =ab which is true.

\therefore R is reflexive.

2. Now, let us check symmetric property:

Symmetric property means:

\forall \{a,b\} \in A\ if\ (a,b) \in R \Rightarrow (b,a) \in R

Here we need to prove:

\forall {(a, b),(c,d)} \in A \ if\ ((a,b),(c,d)) \in R \Rightarrow ((c,d),(a,b)) \in R

As per the given relation:

((a,b),(c,d)) \in R means ad = bc

((c,d),(a,b)) \in R means cb = da\ or\ ad =bc

Hence true.

\therefore R is symmetric.

3. R to be transitive, we need to prove:

if ((a,b),(c,d)),((c,d),(e,f)) \in R \Rightarrow ((a,b),(e,f)) \in R

((a,b),(c,d)) \in R means ad = cb.... (1)

((c,d), (e,f)) \in R means fc = ed ...... (2)

To prove:

To be ((a,b), (e,f)) \in R we need to prove: fa = be

Multiply (1) with (2):

adcf = bcde\\\Rightarrow fa = be

So, R is transitive as well.

Hence proved that R is an equivalence relation.

Using substitution to solve the system below, what expression should be substituted into the first equation? 2x-4y=-4 and x+2y=8
inna [77]

Answer:

Given the system of equation:

2x-4y=-4                    ......[1]

x+2y=8                      ......[2]

we can rewrite equation [2] as;

x = 8-2y                ......[3]

Substitute equation [3] into [1] to eliminate x, and solve for y;

2(8-2y)-4y = -4

Using distributive property: a\cdot (b+c) = a\cdot b+ a\cdot c

16-4y -4y = -4

Combine like terms;

16 - 8y = -4

Add 4 to both sides we have;

20 - 8y = 0

Add 8y to both sides we have;

20 = 8y

Divide 8 to both sides we have;

y = 2.5

Substitute the y-value in [3] we have;

x = 8-2(2.5)

x = 8 - 5 = 3

Therefore, the  expression should be substituted into the first equation is, x = 8-2y  and also the value of x = 3 and y = 2.5

The aspect ratio of a TV screen is the ratio of the width to the height of the image. A regular TV has an aspect ratio of 16: 9.
ki77a [65]

Answer:

Width = 44.45 inches

Height = 25.00 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

(16x)^2 + (9x)^2 = 51^2

256x^2 + 81x^2 = 2601

337x^2 = 2601

x^2 = 7.718

x = 2.778

Width = 44.45 inches

Height = 25.00 inches

I think this is right

Amari claims that a rectangle is sometimes a parallelogram but a parallelogram is always a
Maslowich

Answer:

The statement is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

A parallelogram is a figure of four sides, such that opposite sides are parallel

A rectangle is a four-sided figure such that all internal angles are 90°

Here, the statement is:

"A rectangle is sometimes a parallelogram but a parallelogram is always a

rectangle."

Here if we found a parallelogram that is not a rectangle, then that is enough to prove that the statement is false.

The counterexample is a rhombus, which is a parallelogram that has two internal angles smaller than 90° and two internal angles larger than 90°, then this parallelogram is not a rectangle, then the statement is false.

The correct statement would be:

"A parallelogram is sometimes a rectangle, but a rectangle is always a parallelogram"

Which equation shows the quadratic formula used correctly to solve 5x2 + 3x – 4 = 0 for x? x = StartFraction negative 3 plus-or-
Brrunno [24]

Answer: FIRST OPTION

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3> The missing picture is attached.</h3>

By definition, given a Quadratic equation in the form:

ax^2+bx+c=0

Where "a", "b" and "c" are numerical coefficients and "x" is the unknown variable, you caN use the Quadratic Formula to solve it.

The Quadratic Formula is the following:

x=\frac{-b \±\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}

In this case, the exercise gives you this Quadratic equation:

5x^2 + 3x - 4 = 0

You can identify that the numerical coefficients are:

a=5\\\\b=3\\\\c= - 4

Therefore, you can substitute values into the Quadratic formula shown above:

x=\frac{-b \±\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}\\\\x=\frac{-3 \±\sqrt{(3)^2-4(5)(-4)} }{2(5)}

You can identify that the equation that shows the Quadratic formula used correctly to solve the Quadratic equation given in the exercise for "x", is the one shown in the First option.
