Answer:

B. The contradiction of the statement is proven false, so the original

statement is therefore proven true.

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume the opposite and then get to a point where we get a false statement.   That proves that the the opposite of the opposite ( what we originally wanted to prove) is true.

Every day, Jason runs for 36 minutes and lifts weights for 44 minutes. How many minutes will Jason spend working out in 8 days?

36 x 8 = 288
44 x 8 = 352
288 + 352 = 640
So 640 minutes in 8 days.

make up an equation in the form of an y=kx +b, the graph which passes through the following points: (5,5) and (-10,-19)
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

y = 8/5x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the slope using rise over run (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

(-19 - 5) / (-10 - 5)

-24 / -15

= 8/5

Plug in the slope and a given point into y = mx + b, and solve for b

y = mx + b

5 = 8/5(5) + b

5 = 8 + b

-3 = b

Plug in the slope and b into y = mx + b

y = 8/5x - 3

So, the equation is y = 8/5x - 3

All zeros of polynomial function 3x^4 +14x^2 -5
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Correct answer:  x₁ = 1 / √3 = √3 / 3  or  x₂ = - 1 / √3 = - √3 / 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

3 x⁴ + 14 x² - 5 = 0   biquadratic equation

this equation is solved by a shift  x² = t and get:

3 t² + 14 t - 5 = 0

t₁₂ = (-14 ± √14² - 4 · 3 · 5) / 2 · 3 = (-14 ± √196 + 60) / 6

t₁₂ = (-14 ± √256) / 6 = (-14 ± 16) / 6

t₁ = -5   or  t₂ = 1 / 3

the solution t₁ = -5 is not accepted because it cannot be x² = -5

we accepted  t₂ = 1 / 3

x² =  1 / 3  ⇒  

x₁ = 1 / √3 = √3 / 3  or  x₂ = - 1 / √3 = - √3 / 3

God is with you!!!
