Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

General Remark

Let's start with the long way.

Each day 1 traditional candle (shamash) is lit along with a number of candles representing that day of Chanukah. I'm taking it that a new Shamash candle must be used each day.

Total Candles = 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 = 44

Givens

  • a = 2
  • L = 9
  • n = 8

Formula

Sum = (a + L)*n/2

Solution

  • Sum = (2 + 9)*8/2
  • Sum = (11)*4
  • Sum = 44

If this is wrong can you tell me what assumption I'm making that  is incorrect.

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-6,6) and (4,-7)
Alla [95]

Answer:

m = -13/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Madison, imagine that you're moving from (-6, 6) to (4, -7) with interest in knowing how much x (the run) and y (the rise) change.

In the first instance, x increases by 10 from -6 and +4.  Simultaneously, y decreases by 13 from 6 to -7.

Thus the slope is m = rise / run = m = -13/10

Consider the following information: Tony, Mike, and John belong to the Alpine Club. Every member of the Alpine club who is not a
zzz [600]

Answer:

ranslation into first order logic ,

Tony, Mike and John belong to Alpine club.

S1 Member (Tony)

S2 Member (mike)

S3 Member (john)

Every member of the Alpine club who is not a skier is a mountain climber

S4 \forallx(Member(x)\wedge~Skier(x)\supsetClimber(x))

Mountain climbers do not like rain

S5 \forallx(Climber(x) \supset ~Like(x,Rain))

Anyone who does not like snow is not a skier

S6 \forallx(~Like(x,snow) \supset ~ Skier(x))

Mike dislikes whatever Tony likes

S7 \forallx(Like(Tony,x) \supset ~ Like(mike,x))

And likes whatever Tony dislikes

S8 \forallx(~Like(Tony,x) \supset Like(Mike,x)

Tony likes rain and snow

S9 Like(Tony,rain)

S10 Like(Tony, snow)

From s10 we know that (I(tony),I(snow)) \in I(Like)

From s7 we know that for every assignment v

(D,I),v|= Like(tony,x)\supset ~Like(Mike,x)

(D,I),v|= Member(x) \wedge Climber(x) \wedge ~ Skier(x)

So

(D,I),v |= \existsx(Member(x)\wedgeClimber(x)\wedge~Skier(x))

Hence a member of Alpine club who is a mountain climber but not a skier

suppose we donot have S7 , we have only s1-s6 and s8-s10.

To prove , we have to produce interpretations as :

D ={ t,m,j,s,r }

Interpretations:

I(tony)=t, I(mike)=m, I(john)=j, I(snow)=s, I(rain)=r

I(member)= {t,m,j}

I(skier)= {t,m,j}

I(climber)= {}

I(Like)= {(t,s),(t,r),(m,s),(m,r),(m,m),(m,t),(m,j),(j,s)}

Hence a member of Alpine club who is a mountain climber but not a skier

What is they-intercept for the<br> equation 8x + 3y = -24?
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

y=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

First, rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form:

y=-\frac{8}{3}x-8

Now just look at the slope-intercept form and your y-intercept is -8, and your slope is -\frac{8}{3} x.

If you don't know what slope-intercept form is it is y=mx+b where m is your slope and b is your y-intercept.

Hope this helps! :)
