One day I found a strange thing happening to my watch,the minute hand & the hour hand were coming together every 65 minutes.

I decided to get it checked. Was my watch gaining or losing time, and how much per hour?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The minute hand of a clock overtakes the hour hand at intervalsof M minutes of correct time. The clock gains or loses in a day by=(720/11−M)(60×24/M) minutes.

Here M = 64. The clock gains or losses in a day by

=(720/11−M)(60×24/M)=(720/11−64)(60×24/64)

=16/11(60×3/8)=2/11(60×3)=360/11=32(8/11) minutes.

Find the slope given the points (2, −7) and (−1,<br> 6).
lesya [120]

Answer:

The Slope= -13/3

y-intercept= (0,5/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

m= change in y/change in x

m= y2-y1/x2-x1

m=6-(-7)/ -1-(2)

m=-13/3

Prove that there is a positive integer that equals the sum of the positive integers not exceeding it. Is your proof constructive
Elena L [17]

Answer:

Constructive Proof

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be a positive integer

x must be equal to sum of all positive integers exceeding it

i.e.

x = x + (x - 1) + ( x - 2) + ......... + 2 + 1

Equivalently,

x = ∑i (where i = 1 to x)

The property finite sum;

∑i (i = 1 to x) = x(x + 1)/2

So,

x = x(x + 1)/2 ------- Multiply both sides by 2

2 * x = 2 * x(x + 1)/2

2x = x(x + 1)

2x = x² + x ------- subtract 2x from both sides

2x - 2x = x² + x - 2x

0 = x² + x - 2x ----- Rearrange

x² + x - 2x = 0

x² - x = 0 ------ Factorise

x(x - 1) = 0

So,

x = 0 or x - 1 = 0

x = 0 or x = 1 + 0

x = 0 or x = 1

But x ≠ 0

So, x = 1

The statement is only true for x = 1

This makes sense because 1 is the only positive integer not exceeding 1

1 = 1

It is a Constructive Proof

A proof is constructive when we find an element for which the statement is true.

Instructions: Given one form of a sequence, write the other form.
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

The explicit formula is 15 + (n-1) -4

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for an explicit formula is an = First number of the sequence (15) + (n-1)(times the amount of integers separating two different sequential numbers) which is -4.

For instance, since 15 is the first number, it will be a1 or 15. Next will be + (n-1) which is the same for every explicit sequence and the multiplier will be the difference between each number, which is -4 in the recursive sequence. As a result, the answer is 15 + (n-1) -4.
