Answer: B. Proof by contradiction

Step-by-step explanation:

  • A proof by contradiction states the truth of a given statement by the assuming that it is false and following by finding a conclusion that is contradictory to the given proposition that is proven to be true.

Hence, the term best describes a proof in which we assume the opposite of what we want to prove is "Proof by contradiction ".

Will mark Brainliest to whoever gets this right<br><br> What is the slope of this line?
Anestetic [448]
<h3>♫ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ~Hello There!~ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ♫</h3>

➷  y = mx + c

Substitute in values using a point on the given line

7 = m(4) + 6

-6 from both sides

1 = m4

Divide both sides by 4:

m = 1/4

The slope is 1/4

The marker cost 1/3 as much as the pen, the pen cost 1/3 as much as the book, the book cost 1/3 as much as the game. How much do
natulia [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll need the actual prices of one of the objects to figure it out...

but I've worked it out here in relation to each object....

Marker = 1/3 x cost of the pen

Marker = 1/3 x 1/3 x cost of book = 1/9 x cost of the book

Marker = 1/3 x 1/3 x 1/3 x cost of game = 1/27 x cost of the game

This probably isn't what you're looking for, but maybe it'll help?

Calculate the zeros of the function y=-X^2-4x+21
irakobra [83]

Answer:

x = - 7, x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the zeros let y = 0, that is

- x² - 4x + 21 = 0 ( multiply through by - 1 )

x² + 4x - 21 = 0

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 21) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 4)

The factors are + 7 and - 3, since

7 × - 3 = - 21 and 7 - 3 = + 4, thus

(x + 7)(x - 3) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 7 = 0 ⇒ x = - 7

x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3
