The number -33 divisors are:

D(-33) = {-33, -11, -3, -1, 1, 3, 11, 33}

a × b = -33

2) -11 × 3 = -33 ⇒ Sum is: -11 + 3 = -8

3) -3 × 11 = -33 ⇒ Sum is: -3 + 11 = 8

4) -1 × 33 = -33 ⇒ Sum is: -1 + 33 = 32

6) 3 × (-11) = -33 ⇒ Sum is: 3 + (-11) = 3 - 11 = -8

7) 11 × (-3) = -33 ⇒ Sum is: 11 + (-3) = 11 - 3 = 8

8) 33 × (-1) = -33 ⇒ Sum is: 33 + (-1) = 33 - 1 = 32

<h2>The least possible sum of a and b is -32</h2>

to 1) and to 5)

If 3,x,y,18 are in arithmetric progression , find the value of x and y

Ksivusya [100]

Given:
arithmetic progression
a₁ = 3
a₂ = x
a₃ = y
a₄ = 18

Solution:
The arithmetic progression has general formula to determine nth term
a₁ + d(n - 1) = an
a₁ represents first term, d represents difference, n represents number of terms, an represents nth term

First we should find out the value of d, by submitting a₄ to the formula
a₁ + d(n - 1) = an
a₁ + d(4 - 1) = a₄
3 + d(3) = 18
3 + 3d = 18
3d = 15
d = 5
The difference of the sequence is 5

Second, determine x and y
x = a₂
x = a₁ + d(2 - 1)
x = 3 + 5(1)
x = 8

y = a₃
y = a₁ + d(3 - 1)
y = 3 + 5(2)
y = 13

The value of x is 8, the value of y is 13

Can someone please help me! Big ideas 8.4 number 16

8_murik_8 [283]

<h3>Answer: 24.5 </h3>

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

Explanation:

It might help to draw it out. See the diagram below.

The base is JK which is 7 units long. I'm picking this as the base because this segment is completely horizontal.

Notice how the base JK spans from x = -3 to x = 4, which we can use subtraction and absolute value to get |J-K| = |-3-4| = 7.

The height is always perpendicular to the base. If the base is JK = 7, then the height is the vertical distance from K (or J) to L. This vertical distance is also 7 units. Subtract the y coordinates and apply absolute value. The base and height aren't always the same number.

Now we can find the area of the triangle

area = base*height/2

area = 7*7/2

area = 49/2

area = 24.5 square units

What is the first derivative of r with respect to t (i.e., differentiate r with respect to t)? r = 5/(t2)Note: Use ^ to show exp

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

The first derivative of $r(t) = 5\cdot t^{-2}$ (r(t)=5*t^{-2}) with respect to t is $r'(t) = -10\cdot t^{-3}$ (r'(t) = -10*t^{-3}).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be $r(t) = \frac{5}{t^{2}}$ , which can be rewritten as $r(t) = 5\cdot t^{-2}$ . The rule of differentiation for a potential function multiplied by a constant is:
