Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that we have a number y which is a positive integer and that:

y = x_n...x_5x_4x_3x_2x_1x_0

Where;

x_{0} = digit at 10⁰ => one's place (units place)

x_1 = digit at 10¹ => 10's place (tens place)

x_{2} = digit at 10² => 100's place (hundreds place)

x_{3} = digit at 10³ => 1000's place (thousands place)

.

.

.

x_{n} = digit at 10ⁿ place

Then;

y = x_{0} * 10⁰ + x_1 * 10¹ + x_{2} * 10² + x_{3} * 10³ + x_{4} * 10⁴ + x_5 * 10⁵ + . . . + x_{n} * 10ⁿ

<em>Since 10⁰ = 1, let's rewrite y as follows;</em>

y = x_{0}  + x_1 * 10¹ + x_{2} * 10² + x_{3} * 10³ + x_{4} * 10⁴ + x_5 * 10⁵ + . . . + x_{n} * 10ⁿ

Now, to test if y is divisible by 11, replace 10 in the equation above by -1. Since 10 divided by 11 gives -1 (mod 11)     [mod means modulus]

y = x_{0}  + x_1 * (-1)¹ + x_{2} * (-1)² + x_{3} * (-1)³ + x_{4} * (-1)⁴ + x_5 * (-1)⁵ + . . . + x_{n} * (-1)ⁿ

=> y =  x_{0}  - x_1 + x_{2} - x_{3} + x_{4} - x_5 + . . . + x_{n} (-1)ⁿ (mod 11)

Therefore, it can be seen that, y is divisible by 11 if and only if alternating sum of its digits x_{0}  - x_1 + x_{2} - x_{3} + x_{4} - x_5 + . . . + x_{n} (-1)ⁿ is divisible by 11

<em>Let's take an example</em>

Check if the following is divisible by 11.

i. 1859

<em>Solution</em>

1859 is divisible by 11 if and only if the alternating sum of its digit is divisible by 11. i.e if (1 - 8 + 5 - 9) is divisible by 11.

1 - 8 + 5 - 9 = -11.

Since -11 is divisible by 11 so is 1859

ii. 31415

<em>Solution</em>

31415 is divisible by 11 if and only if the alternating sum of its digit is divisible by 11. i.e if (3 - 1 + 4 - 1 + 5) is divisible by 11.

3 - 1 + 4 - 1 + 5 = 10.

Since 10 is not divisible by 11 so is 31415 not divisible.

Answer:

similar; RYL by SAS similarity

Step-by-step explanation:

Side RL Is congruent to side RH and side RY is congruent to side RA by a scale factor of 3.5. and we know thank angles LRY and HRA are congruent by the reflexive property. So the two triangles are congruent by Side-Angle-Side similarity.

the maximum walking speed S, in feet per second of an animal can be modeled by the equation S=the square root gL where g=32ft/se
swat32

The maximum walking speed of the Giraffe is 1.41 times greater than the maximum walking speed of the Hippopotamus

<h3>Calculating Maximum speed</h3>

From the question, we are to determine how much greater the maximum walking speed of Giraffe is to that of Hippopotamus

From the give information,

The maximum walking speed, S, is given by

S = √gL

Where g = 32ft/sec
and L is the length of the animal's leg

Thus,

For a Giraffe with a leg length of 6 feet

S = √32×6

S = √192

S = 13.856 ft/sec

For a Hippopotamus with a leg length of 3 feet

S = √32×3

S = √96

S = 9.798 ft/sec

Now, we will determine how many times greater 13.856 is than 9.798

13.856/9.798 = 1.41

Hence, the maximum walking speed of the Giraffe is 1.41 times greater than the maximum walking speed of the Hippopotamus

I think it’s positive. As it gets heavier, the cost has a positive slope, or increases. I’m not absolutely sure though
