Ashers is 12 if both ages combined add up to 20. 12+8=20

The following question has two parts. First, answer part A. Then, answer part B.

Pie

Answer:

When you're talking factors, you're talking about some sort of integer; that's because “factors” depends on the concept of divisibility, which are virtually exclusive to integers. When you're talking “greater than”, you're excluding complex numbers (where the concept of ordering doesn't exist) and you're probably assuming positive integers. If you are, then no; no positive integer has factors that are larger than it.

If you go beyond positive numbers, that changes. 0 is an integer, and has every integer, except itself, as factors; since its positive factors are greater than zero, there are factors of zero that are greater than zero. If you extend to include negative numbers, you always have both positive and negative factors; and since all positive integers are greater than all negative integers, all negative integers have factors that are greater than them.

Beyond zero, though, no integer has factors whose magnitudes are greater than its own. And that's a principle that can be extended even to the complex integers

Calculate the total installment price the carrying charges in the number of months needed to save them money at the monthly rate

masha68 [24]

Answer:

the total installment is $936
the carrying charges are $186
the monthly rate to buy the items are 19.23 or 20 months

Step-by-step explanation:

$39 for 24 months comes to ...

$39 × 24 = $936

The "carrying charges" are the difference between the cash price and the installment price:

$936 -750 = $186

Saving at the rate of $39 per month, it would take ...

$750/$39 = 19.23 months about 20 months to save up the cash price.

Often, such savings would come from a once-a-month paycheck, so it would take more than 19 such paychecks to save the required amount.

hope it will help :)

y′′ −y = 0, x0 = 0 Seek power series solutions of the given differential equation about the given point x 0; find the recurrence

sukhopar [10]

Let

$\displaystyle y(x) = \sum_{n=0}^\infty a_nx^n = a_0 + a_1x + a_2x^2 + \cdots$

Differentiating twice gives

$\displaystyle y'(x) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty na_nx^{n-1} = \sum_{n=0}^\infty (n+1) a_{n+1} x^n = a_1 + 2a_2x + 3a_3x^2 + \cdots$

$\displaystyle y''(x) = \sum_{n=2}^\infty n (n-1) a_nx^{n-2} = \sum_{n=0}^\infty (n+2) (n+1) a_{n+2} x^n$

When x = 0, we observe that y(0) = a₀ and y'(0) = a₁ can act as initial conditions.

Substitute these into the given differential equation:

$\displaystyle \sum_{n=0}^\infty (n+2)(n+1) a_{n+2} x^n - \sum_{n=0}^\infty a_nx^n = 0$

$\displaystyle \sum_{n=0}^\infty \bigg((n+2)(n+1) a_{n+2} - a_n\bigg) x^n = 0$

Then the coefficients in the power series solution are governed by the recurrence relation,

$\begin{cases}a_0 = y(0) \\ a_1 = y'(0) \\\\ a_{n+2} = \dfrac{a_n}{(n+2)(n+1)} & \text{for }n\ge0\end{cases}$

Since the n-th coefficient depends on the (n - 2)-th coefficient, we split n into two cases.

• If n is even, then n = 2k for some integer k ≥ 0. Then

$k=0 \implies n=0 \implies a_0 = a_0$

$k=1 \implies n=2 \implies a_2 = \dfrac{a_0}{2\cdot1}$

$k=2 \implies n=4 \implies a_4 = \dfrac{a_2}{4\cdot3} = \dfrac{a_0}{4\cdot3\cdot2\cdot1}$

$k=3 \implies n=6 \implies a_6 = \dfrac{a_4}{6\cdot5} = \dfrac{a_0}{6\cdot5\cdot4\cdot3\cdot2\cdot1}$

It should be easy enough to see that

$a_{n=2k} = \dfrac{a_0}{(2k)!}$

• If n is odd, then n = 2k + 1 for some k ≥ 0. Then

$k = 0 \implies n=1 \implies a_1 = a_1$

$k = 1 \implies n=3 \implies a_3 = \dfrac{a_1}{3\cdot2}$

$k = 2 \implies n=5 \implies a_5 = \dfrac{a_3}{5\cdot4} = \dfrac{a_1}{5\cdot4\cdot3\cdot2}$

$k=3 \implies n=7 \implies a_7=\dfrac{a_5}{7\cdot6} = \dfrac{a_1}{7\cdot6\cdot5\cdot4\cdot3\cdot2}$

so that

$a_{n=2k+1} = \dfrac{a_1}{(2k+1)!}$

So, the overall series solution is

$\displaystyle y(x) = \sum_{n=0}^\infty a_nx^n = \sum_{k=0}^\infty \left(a_{2k}x^{2k} + a_{2k+1}x^{2k+1}\right)$

$\boxed{\displaystyle y(x) = a_0 \sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac{x^{2k}}{(2k)!} + a_1 \sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac{x^{2k+1}}{(2k+1)!}}$

A triangle has side lengths of 34 in., 20 in., and 47 in. Classify it as acute, obtuse, or right.

Anestetic [448]

34^2 + 20^2 = 1156 + 400 = 1556

47^2 = 2209

because the squares of the 2 smaller sides is less than the square of the longer side the triangle is Obtuse
