Answer:

-9,-8,-4, 5, 21, 46,95,159

Step-by-step explanation:

We keep adding the square numbers to the previous terms

$-9+1^2=-8$

$-8+2^2=-4$

$-4+3^2=5$

$5+4^2=21$

$21+6^2=46$

The next term is $46+7^2=95$

The next one is $95+8^2=159$

We got this by observing the pattern

What could be the next statement that Ivan makes his proof?

Answer: Choice A) Triangle ABC is similar to triangle ACD by AA

AA stands for Angle Angle. Specifically it means we need 2 pairs of congruent angles between the two triangles in order to prove the triangles similar. Your book might write "AA similarity" instead of simply "AA".

For triangles ABC and ACD, we have the first pair of angles being A = A (angle A shows up twice each in the first slot). The second pair of congruent angles would be the right angles for triangle ABC and ACD, which are angles C and D respectively.

We can't use AAS because we don't know any information about the sides of the triangle.

Cot^2x/cscx-1=1+sinx/sinx

KATRIN_1 [288]

$\bf \textit{difference of squares}
\\\\
(a-b)(a+b) = a^2-b^2\qquad \qquad 
a^2-b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)
\\\\\\
sin^2(\theta)+cos^2(\theta)=1\implies cos^2(\theta)=1-sin^2(\theta)\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{cot^2(x)}{csc(x)-1}=\cfrac{1+sin(x)}{sin(x)}\impliedby \textit{let's do the left-hand-side}$

$\bf \cfrac{\quad \frac{cos^2(x)}{sin^2(x)}\quad }{\frac{1}{sin(x)}-1}\implies \cfrac{\quad \frac{cos^2(x)}{sin^2(x)}\quad }{\frac{1-sin(x)}{sin(x)}}\implies \cfrac{cos^2(x)}{sin^2(x)}\cdot \cfrac{sin(x)}{1-sin(x)}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{cos^2(x)}{sin(x)}\cdot \cfrac{1}{1-sin(x)}\implies \cfrac{cos^2(x)}{sin(x)[1-sin(x)]}$

$\bf \cfrac{1-sin^2(x)}{sin(x)[1-sin(x)]}\implies \cfrac{1^2-sin^2(x)}{sin(x)[1-sin(x)]}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{\underline{[1-sin(x)]}~[1+sin(x)]}{sin(x)\underline{[1-sin(x)]}}\implies \cfrac{1+sin(x)}{sin(x)}$

The difference between a number and its square is 20. Find the<br>numbers.

Elena L [17]

Answer:

-4 or 5

Step-by-step explanation:

let number be x

x²-x=20

Rearrange

x²-x-20=0

(x+4)(x-5)=0
