Mathematics

Answer:

Not linear.

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear equation is an equation of a straight line, which means that the degree of a linear equation must be 0 or 1 for each of its variables. In this case, the degree of variable y is 1 , the degrees of the variables in the equation violate the linear equation definition, which means that the equation is not a linear equation.

slader How many partitions of the set {1, 2, 3, . . . , 100} are there such that there are exactly three parts and elements 1, 2

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

$3^{97}$ partitions.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know if we have x number of elements we can arrange them in x! ways.

here we have 100 elements so we can arrange them in 100! ways.

Now if we have exactly three parts and 1,2 and 3 are in different parts then let consider 1 goes to part 1, 2 goes to part 2, and 3 goes to part 3. For the remaining 97 elements, we have three options for each element, thus we can arrange the remaining 97 elements in $3^{97}$ ways/partitions.

each of these partition will contain only three elements.

In triangle RST, m∠R > m∠S + m∠T. Which must be true of triangle RST? Check all that apply.

solmaris [256]

Answer:

1. m∠R > 90°

2. m∠S + m∠T < 90°

4. m∠R > m∠T

5. m∠R > m∠S

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>General strategy</h3>

prove the statement starting from known facts, or
disprove the statement by finding a counterexample

Helpful fact: Recall that the Triangle Sum Theorem states that m∠R + m∠S + m∠T = 180°.

Option 1. m∠R > 90°

Start with m∠R > m∠S + m∠T.

Adding m∠R to both sides of the inequality...

m∠R + m∠R > m∠R + m∠S + m∠T

There are two things to note here:

The left side of this inequality is 2*m∠R
The right side of the inequality is exactly equal to the Triangle Sum Theorem expression

2* m∠R > 180°

Dividing both sides of the inequality by 2...

m∠R > 90°

So, the first option must be true.

Option 2. m∠S + m∠T < 90°

Start with m∠R > m∠S + m∠T.

Adding (m∠S + m∠T) to both sides of the inequality...

m∠R + (m∠S + m∠T) > m∠S + m∠T + (m∠S + m∠T)

There are two things to note here:

The left side of this inequality is exactly equal to the Triangle Sum Theorem expression
The right side of the inequality is 2*(m∠S+m∠T)

Substituting

180° > 2* (m∠S+m∠T)

Dividing both sides of the inequality by 2...

90° > m∠S+m∠T

So, the second option must be true.

Option 3. m∠S = m∠T

Not necessarily. While m∠S could equal m∠T, it doesn't have to.

Example 1: m∠S = m∠T = 10°; By the triangle sum Theorem, m∠R = 160°, and the angles satisfy the original inequality.

Example 2: m∠S = 15°, and m∠T = 10°; By the triangle sum Theorem, m∠R = 155°, and the angles still satisfy the original inequality.

So, option 3 does NOT have to be true.

Option 4. m∠R > m∠T

Start with the fact that ∠S is an angle of a triangle, so m∠S cannot be zero or negative, and thus m∠S > 0.

Add m∠T to both sides.

(m∠S) + m∠T > (0) + m∠T

m∠S + m∠T > m∠T

Recall that m∠R > m∠S + m∠T.

By the transitive property of inequalities, m∠R > m∠T.

So, option 4 must be true.

Option 5. m∠R > m∠S

Start with the fact that ∠T is an angle of a triangle, so m∠T cannot be zero or negative, and thus m∠T > 0.

Add m∠S to both sides.

m∠S + (m∠T) > m∠S + (0)

m∠S + m∠T > m∠S

Recall that m∠R > m∠S + m∠T.

By the transitive property of inequalities, m∠R > m∠S.

So, option 5 must be true.

Option 6. m∠S > m∠T

Not necessarily. While m∠S could be greater than m∠T, it doesn't have to be. (See examples 1 and 2 from option 3.)

So, option 6 does NOT have to be true.

Problem 3: Let x = price of bag of pretzels Let y = price of box of granola bars
We have Lesley's purchase: 4x+2y=13.50
And Landon's: 1x+5y=17.55
We can use the elimination method. Let's negate Landon's purchase by multiplying by -1. -1x-5y=-17.55
We add this four times to Lesley's purchase to eliminate the x variable.
2y-20y=13.50-70.2
-18y=-56.7
y = $3.15 = Price of box of granola bars

Plug back into Landon's purchase to solve for pretzels.
x+5*3.15=17.55
x+15.75=17.55
x = $1.80 = price of bag of pretzels

Problem 4.
Let w = number of wood bats sold
Let m = number of metal bats sold

From sales information we have: w + m = 23
24w+30m=606
Substitution works well here. Solve for w in the first equation, w = 23 - m, and plug this into the second.
24*(23-m)+30m=606
552-24m+30m=606
6m=54
m=9 = number of metal bats sold
Therefore since w = 23-m, w = 23-9 = 14. 14 wooden bats were sold.
