The number -33 divisors are:

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

a × b = -33

<u>1)  -33 × 1 = -33   ⇒   Sum is:   -33 + 1 = -32</u>

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

<u>5)  1 × (-33) = -33   ⇒   Sum is:   1 + (-33) = 1 - 33 = -32</u>

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)

Brian tied a 136-foot rope around the perimeter of his rectangular house. He knows that the length of the house is 10 feet less
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

length 42 cm and width 26 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Since Brian tied 136 foot rope around the perimeter , hence perimeter of house is 136 foot.

Given that shape of house is rectangular.

formula to calculate perimeter of rectangle can be used which is 2*(L+B)

where L is length of rectangle and B width of rectangle

Let the L and B be length of rectangular side of house

According to question

length of house is 10 feet less than twice the width of house

mathematically it can be represented as

L = 2*B - 10  --->eq. 1

Perimeter of house = 136 feet

using formula of Perimeter of rectangle

136 = 2*(L+B)

substituting the value of length in terms of width from eq. 1 in formula of perimeter

=> 136/2 = 2*B - 10 + B  (2*B+ B = 3B)

=> 68 = 3*B - 10

=> 78 = 3*B

B = 78/3 = 26

Therefore B which is width = 26 CM

length = 2*B - 10= 26*2 - 10 = 52-10=42

length of house = 42  cm

Hence dimension of Brian's house is length 42 cm and width 26 cm

Using desmos
VMariaS [17]

The attached graph represents the location of the pH values 0 and 1

<h3>How to plot the points?</h3>

The given parameters are:

pH value 0 = (1, 0)

pH value 1 = (0.1, 1)

This means that we plot a point at the coordinate (1, 0) and another point at the coordinate (0.1, 1).

See attachment for the graph

<u>Complete question</u>

The pH value is 0 at (1, 0) and 1 at (0.1, 1).

Using desmos

A. Locate, plot, and label on your graph where the pH value is 0.1

B. Locate, plot, and label on your graph where the pH value is 1.

Is the simplified form of 2-3 + 3.3 rational?<br> Yes<br> No
N76 [4]

Answer:

YES IT IS

Step-by-step explanation:

2-3 + 3.3

= -1 + 3.3

= -4.3

We learn that:

Rational number: rational number is the number that can be written as a/b (a and b would be intergers and b is not equal to 0). Rational number would be most of numbers we use in out life, except Square root and Pi number.

In this case, -4.3 can be write as -43/10

So YES it would be a rational number

Hope this helped :3
