How many solutions does the equation have, x1 + x2 + x3 = 10 , where x1 , x2, and x3 are non-negative integers?

MAVERICK [17]

Non-negative integers are positive integers or zero.

1. When $x_1=0,$ then there are such possible cases for $x_2$ and $x_3:$

$x_2=0,\ x_3=10;$
$x_2=1,\ x_3=9;$
$x_2=2,\ x_3=8;$
$x_2=3,\ x_3=7;$
$x_2=4,\ x_3=6;$
$x_2=5,\ x_3=5;$
$x_2=6,\ x_3=4;$
$x_2=7,\ x_3=3;$
$x_2=8,\ x_3=2;$
$x_2=9,\ x_3=1;$
$x_2=10,\ x_3=0.$

In total 11 solutions for $x_1=0.$

2. For $x_1=1,$ there are such possible cases for $x_2$ and $x_3:$

$x_2=0,\ x_3=9;$
$x_2=1,\ x_3=8;$
$x_2=2,\ x_3=7;$
$x_2=3,\ x_3=6;$
$x_2=4,\ x_3=5;$
$x_2=5,\ x_3=4;$
$x_2=6,\ x_3=3;$
$x_2=7,\ x_3=2;$
$x_2=8,\ x_3=1;$
$x_2=9,\ x_3=0.$

In total 10 solutions for $x_1=1.$

3. This process gives you

for $x_1=2$ - 9 solutions;
for $x_1=3$ - 8 solutions;
for $x_1=4$ - 7 solutions;
for $x_1=5$ - 6 solutions;
for $x_1=6$ - 5 solutions;
for $x_1=7$ - 4 solutions;
for $x_1=8$ - 3 solutions;
for $x_1=9$ - 2 solutions;
for $x_1=10$ - 1 solution.

4. Add all numbers of solutions:

$11+10+9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1=66.$

Answer: there are 66 possible solutions (with non-negative integer variables)

Fraction that less than 5/6 and has a denominator of 8

AnnyKZ [126]

A fraction that is less than 5/6 and has a denominator of 8 would be 4/8 because if you compare 4/8 and 5/6 4/8 is less than 5/6. (to compare this two fractions you need to make them have the same denominator so they would end up been 4/8=12/24
5/6=20/24
And 12/24 is smaller than 20/24
(Besides 4/8 is half and 5/6 is more than half

7. If the longer leg of a right triangle is twice as long as the shorter leg, what is the ratio of

kicyunya [14]

Answer: The ratio is 2.39, which means that the larger acute angle is 2.39 times the smaller acute angle.

Step-by-step explanation:

I suppose that the "legs" of a triangle rectangle are the cathati.

if L is the length of the shorter leg, 2*L is the length of the longest leg.

Now you can remember the relation:

Tan(a) = (opposite cathetus)/(adjacent cathetus)

Then there is one acute angle calculated as:

Tan(θ) = (shorter leg)/(longer leg)

Tan(φ) = (longer leg)/(shorter leg)

And we want to find the ratio between the measure of the larger acute angle and the smaller acute angle.

Then we need to find θ and φ.

Tan(θ) = L/(2*L)

Tan(θ) = 1/2

θ = Atan(1/2) = 26.57°

Tan(φ) = (2*L)/L

Tan(φ) = 2

φ = Atan(2) = 63.43°

Then the ratio between the larger acute angle and the smaller acute angle is:

R = (63.43°)/(26.57°) = 2.39

This means that the larger acute angle is 2.39 times the smaller acute angle.
