Answer: B) -48

Step-by-step explanation:

If the system of two linear equations $a_1x+b_1y=c_1\ \&\ a_2+b_2y=c_2$ has infinitely many solutions , then

$\dfrac{a_1}{a_2}=\dfrac{b_1}{b_2}=\dfrac{c_1}{c_2}=k$

For the given system of linear equations : $rx-sy=26\\4x+3y=13$

We , will have

$\dfrac{r}{4}=\dfrac{-s}{3}=\dfrac{26}{13}=2\\\\\Rightarrow\ r= 4\times2=8\ \ \&\ \ s=2\times-3=-6$

The value of $rs=(8)\times-6=-48$

Hence, the value of rs is -48.

Thus , the correct option is B) -48.

Consider the statement "2 is a factor of n2 + 3n."

deff fn [24]

Answer:

The answer is the last one:

4 , 10 , 18 , (k + 1)² + 3(k + 1) and k² + 5k + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ 2 is a factor of n² + 3n

∵ n = 1 ⇒ ∴ (1)² + 3(1) = 1 + 3 = 4 ⇒ 2 is a factor of 4

∵ n = 2 ⇒ ∴ (2)² + 3(2) = 4 + 6 = 10 ⇒ 2 is a factor of 10

∵ n = 3 ⇒ ∴ (3)² + 3(3) = 9 + 9 = 18 ⇒ 2 is a factor of 18

∵ n = k + 1 ⇒ ∴ (k + 1)² + 3(k + 1) ⇒ before the simplify

∵ n = k + 1 ⇒ ∴ k² + 2k + 1 + 3k + 3 = k² + 5k + 4 ⇒ after simplify

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The question has unclear information.

So, I'll answer from scratch

Given

ABC = Right angled triangle

DB bisects ABC

Required

Prove that CBD = 45

From the question, we have that:

ABC is right angled at B

So, when DB bisects ABC, it means that DB divides ABC into two equal angles.

i.e.

$CBD = ABD$

and

$CBD + ABD = 90$

Substitute CBD for ABD in $CBD + ABD = 90$

$CBD + CBD = 90$

$2CBD = 90$

Divide both sides by 2

$\frac{2CBD}{2} = \frac{90}{2}$

$CBD = \frac{90}{2}$

$CBD = 45$

Hence, it is proved that $CBD = 45$

A 13m ladder is leaning on a 12m wall.how far is the bottom of the ladder from the bottom wall?

brilliants [131]

Using the Pythagorean theorem:

Distance = √(13^2 - 12^2)

Distance = √(169 - 144)

Distance = √25

Distance = 5m
