Answer:

The statements are incorrect as: The sum of even numbers from 1 to 100(i.e. 2550) is not double\twice of the sum of odd numbers from 1 to 100(i.e. 2500).

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that sum of an Arithmetic Progression(A.P.) is given by:

where 'n' denotes the "number" of digits whose sum is to be determined, 'a' denotes the first digit of the series and '' denote last digit of the series.

Now the sum of even numbers i.e. 2+4+6+8+....+100 is given by the use of sum of the arithmetic progression since the series is an A.P. with a common difference of 2.

Hence, sum of even numbers from 1 to 100 is 2550.

Also the series of odd numbers is an A.P. with a common difference of 2.

sum of odd numbers from 1 to 100 is given by: 1+3+5+....+99

Hence, the sum of all the odd numbers from 1 to 100 is 2500.

Clearly the sum of even numbers from 1 to 100(i.e. 2550) is not double of the sum of odd numbers from 1 to 100(i.e. 2500).

Hence the statement is incorrect.

Phantasy [73]

Given:

Angelica reads 15 pages of a book each day.

In 10 days, she reads 200 pages.

Assume the relationship is linear.

To find:

The rate of change and initial value.

Solution:

The slope intercept form of a linear function is:

$y=mx+b$ ...(i)

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Angelica reads 15 pages of a book each day. So, the rate of change is 15 pages per day and $m=15$ .

In 10 days, she reads 200 pages. It means the linear relation passes through the point (10,200).

Putting $x=10,y=200,m=15$ in (i), we get

$200=15(10)+b$

$200=150+b$

$200-150=b$

$50=b$

So, the y-intercept is 50. It means the initial number of pages angelica already read is 50.

Therefore, the rate of change is 15, it means Angelica reads 15 pages per day. The y-intercept is 50, it means the initial number of pages angelica already read is 50.

Consider the following quadratic function Part 3 of 6: Find the x-intercepts. Express it in ordered pairs.Part 4 of 6: Find the

maksim [4K]

Answer:

The line of symmetry is x = -3

Explanation:

Given a quadratic function, we know that the graph is a parabola. The general form of a parabola is:

$y=ax^2+bx+c$

The line of symmetry coincides with the x-axis of the vertex. To find the x-coordinate of the vertex, we can use the formula:

$x_v=-\frac{b}{2a}$

In this problem, we have:

$y=-x^2-6x-13$

Then:

a = -1

b = -6

We write now:

$x_v=-\frac{-6}{2(-1)}=-\frac{-6}{-2}=-\frac{6}{2}=-3$

Part 3:

For this part, we need to find the x-intercepts. This is, when y = 0:

$-x^2-6x-13=0$

To solve this, we can use the quadratic formula:

$x_{1,2}=\frac{-(-6)\pm\sqrt{(-6)^2-4\cdot(-1)\cdot(-13)}}{2(-1)}$

And solve:

$x_{1,2}=\frac{6\pm\sqrt{36-52}}{-2}$ $x_{1,2}=\frac{-6\pm\sqrt{-16}}{2}$

Since there is no solution to the square root of a negative number, the function does not have any x-intercept. The correct option is ZERO x-intercepts.

Part 4:

To find the y intercept, we need to find the value of y when x = 0:

$y=-0^2-6\cdot0-13=-13$

The y-intercept is at (0, -13)

Part 5:

Now we need to find two points in the parabola. Let-s evaluate the function when x = 1 and x = -1:

$x=1\Rightarrow y=-1^2-6\cdot1-13=-1-6-13=-20$ $x=-1\Rightarrow y=-(-1)^2-6\cdot(-1)-13=-1+6-13=-8$

The two points are:

(1, -20)

(-1, -8)

Part 6:

Now, we can use 3 points to find the graph of the parabola.

We can locate (1, -20) and (-1, -8)

The third could be the vertex. We need to find the y-coordinate of the vertex. We know that the x-coordinate of the vertex is x = -3

Then, y-coordinate of the vertex is:

$y=-(-3)^2-6(-3)-13=-9+18-13=-4$

The third point we can use is (-3, -4)

Now we can locate them in the cartesian plane:

And that's enough to get the full graph:

How do I solve an equation like this, one with a negative in front of parentheses?

azamat

The factor outside the parentheses is -1. Distribute using that factor.

2 - (4 - x) = 7x - 5x

-1 * 4 = -4 and -1 * -x = x

2 - 4 + x = 7x - 5x

Simplify.

-2 + x = 2x

x = 2x + 2

-x = 2

x = -2

<h3>Answer:</h3>

x = -2
