Answer: s > 5

Step-by-step explanation:

-s² + 25s - 100 > 0

Coefficient of s² is -1, multiply the equation through by -1.

-1 × (-s² + 25s - 100)

s² — 25s + 100

ax² + bx + c

Then you get the factors x and y that gives x + y = b and xy = c

b = -25 and c = 100, x = -20 and y = -5

-20 × -5 = 100 and -20 + -5 = -25

Then

s² — 20s — 5s + 100 > 0

Factorising,

s (s — 20) — 5(s — 20) > 0

(s — 5)(s — 20) > 0

(s — 5) > 0 and (s — 20) > 0

s>5 and s>20

s > 5

Hope this Helps?

Question 31 pts Prove the statement is true using mathematical induction: 2n-1 ≤ n! Use the space below to write your answer. To
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

P(3) is true since 2(3) - 1 = 5  < 3! = 6.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Let P(n) be the proposition that 2n-1 ≤ n!. for n ≥ 3

Basis: P(3) is true since 2(3) - 1 = 5  < 3! = 6.  

Inductive Step: Assume P(k) holds, i.e., 2k - 1 ≤ k! for an arbitrary integer k ≥ 3. To show that P(k + 1) holds:

2(k+1) - 1 = 2k + 2 - 1

≤ 2 + k! (by the inductive hypothesis)

= (k + 1)! Therefore,2n-1 ≤ n! holds, for every integer n ≥ 3.

This scatter plot shows the number of baskets made and the time in minutes that has passed.
irina1246 [14]

Scatter plots are used to relate variables using scattered dots.

The best prediction for the number of baskets made in 16 minutes is (c) 14 baskets

From the graph, we can see that the number of baskets made in 14 minutes is 12.

Also, from the graph; as the minutes increases, the number of baskets either remain the same or increases.

This means that, for 16 minutes, the number of baskets would either be 12 (same as 14 minutes) or greater.

The closest to 12 baskets in the option is 14.

Hence, the best prediction for the number of baskets made in 16 minutes is (c) 14 baskets
