Well, we could try adding up odd numbers, and look to see when we reach 400. But I'm hoping to find an easier way.
First of all ... I'm not sure this will help, but let's stop and notice it anyway ...
An odd number of odd numbers (like 1, 3, 5) add up to an odd number, but
an even number of odd numbers (like 1,3,5,7) add up to an even number.
So if the sum is going to be exactly 400, then there will have to be an even
number of items in the set.
Now, let's put down an even number of odd numbers to work with,and see
what we can notice about them:
1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15 .
Number of items in the set . . . 8
Sum of all the items in the set . . . 64
Hmmm. That's interesting. 64 happens to be the square of 8 .
Do you think that might be all there is to it ?
Let's check it out:
Even-numbered lists of odd numbers:
1, 3 Items = 2, Sum = 4
1, 3, 5, 7 Items = 4, Sum = 16
1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 Items = 6, Sum = 36
1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15 . . Items = 8, Sum = 64 .
Amazing ! The sum is always the square of the number of items in the set !
For a sum of 400 ... which just happens to be the square of 20,
we just need the <em><u>first 20 consecutive odd numbers</u></em>.
I slogged through it on my calculator, and it's true.
I never knew this before. It seems to be something valuable
to keep in my tool-box (and cherish always).
Answer
Attached the graph
Step by step explanation
Y = -1/4z + 5
Let's form the table values
Here z is the independent variable and y is the dependent values.
Let's take z = -1, 0, 1, 2 and find the corresponding y-values
<u>z y</u>
-1 5.25
0 5
1 4.75
2 4.5
Now let's plot the points and draw the graph.
Here is the graph.
Just so you know, you have to know at least one of the variables to find out what the other is. Like for example, X could equal 2, so that would make y equal 5. Or X could equal 23, and that would make y equal 26.
Answer:
is a Step-by-step explanation:
combination
A selection in which order has no importance.A mathematical symbol, or combination of symbols, representing a value, or relation. Example:
2
+
2
=
4
.equation
A mathematical statement that says two expressions have the same value; any number sentence with an
=
.
ordered pair
Set of two numbers in which the order has an agreed-upon meaning, such as the Cartesian coordinates
(
x
,
y
)
, where the first coordinate represents the horizontal position, and the second coordinate represents the vertical position.
solution
1. The value of a variable that makes an equation true.
2. In chemistry, a solution is a homogeneous mixture composed of only one phase.
Answer:
I think the answer is D. (2,6,8) because if the ones on the right are y - coordinates in the Function then it should be correct. If not sorry
(Range is y - coordinate)
(Domain is x - coordinate)
