For a finite sequence of nonzero numbers, the number of variations in sign is defined as the number of pairs of consecutive term

s of the sequence for which the product of the two consecutive terms is negative. What is the number of variations in sign for the sequence 1, –3, 2, 5, –4, –6 ?

Answer:

The no. of variations in sign is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Variation in sign occurs when every single time a negative product is produced by a pair of consecutive terms.

Therefore, the determination of the number of changes in sign in the given sequence is must.

Therefore, we take the product of the pair of consecutive terms as:

1\times (-3) = - 3, variation in sign

(-3)\times 2 = - 6,  variation in sign

2\times 5 = 10,  no sign variation

5\times (- 4) = - 20,  variation in sign

- 4\times (-6) = 24, no sign variation

Harman [31]

Answer:

8x - 20

Step-by-step explanation:

6(2x - 3) - 2(2x + 1)

Distribute

6(2x) -6( 3) - 2(2x) -2( 1)

12x -18 -4x -2

Combine like terms

12x -4x    -18 -2

8x-20

Write the congruency statement for the triangles. _______In triangles MNO and JKL, there are two congruent sides and included an
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

ΔJKL ≅ ΔMNO by SAS

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete, the question is as following:

ΔMNO is shown.

Which Δ below can be shown to be congruent to ΔMNO with only the given information?

Name the postulate that justifies your answer (SAS, AAS, HL, ASA or SSS).

Write the congruency statement for the triangles.

And see the attached figure which represent ΔMNO

==========================================================

Check the given options to see which triangle from the option will be congruent to ΔMNO

1. In triangles MNO and ABC, there are two congruent sides and non-included angle - which mean (angle - side - side)

The (angle - side - side) Postulate does not exist because an angle and two sides does not guarantee that two triangles are congruent.

2. In triangles MNO and DEF, there are two congruent sides - there is not enough information

3. In triangles MNO and GHI, there are three congruent angles - which mean AAA (angle - angle - angle)

The AAA Postulate does not exist because an angle and two sides does not guarantee that two triangles are congruent. This postulate is used to prove the similarity between the triangles.

4. In triangles MNO and JKL, there are two congruent sides and included angle - SAS (side - angle - side)

MN ≅ JK , MO ≅ JL , ∠M ≅ ∠J

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Gender, car

Step-by-step explanation:

Give the data above :

The categorical variables are : Gender and Car

The Gender are car variables represents non numeric variables written as strings and as such does not allow for numeric calculations such as addition, subtraction and so on, they are instead used to classify the observations in the data into discreet groups, the gender variable separates observations into Male and Female classes while, the car variable separates cars driven into distinct classes denoting the name of cars driven by each observation in the data. The other variables are of quantitative nature as they allow for numerical computation of the data values.
