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.

A. Is the attached image. The slope is 7.5x

b. 1 = 7.5x

x = 1.33333…

This is hours so we must multiply this by 60

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

The number of combinations will she have to analyze is 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Boeing currently produces five models of airplanes for commercial sale. The airline that Lauren works for is rapidly expanding and would like to purchase three airplanes of different models to service various routes. We calculate the number of combinations will she have to analyze.

$C^5_3=\frac{5!}{3!(5-3)!}=\frac{5\cdot 4\cdot 3!}{3!\cdot 2\cdot 1}=10$

The number of combinations will she have to analyze is 10.

If f(x)=2x-4, what would be the answer if f(3)-1??

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the function

$f(x) = 2x - 4$

and we want to know the value of $f(3) - 1$ .

The first step is to find $f(3)$ ; we can subtract 1 from it at the end! But what does $f(3)$ mean?

Basically, we're saying <em>"what is the value of the function when </em> $x = 3$ <em> ?"</em>

So, we simply replace $x$ with 3 in the function, and we get:

$f(3) = 2\times 3 - 4 = 2$ .

Finally, we subtract 1 to find $f(3) - 1 = 1$ .

I dont get this at all

Continuous vs discrete is if you can count vs. measure the results. For example: you can run 13. 5 miles but you can't have 13.5 dogs. Miles (measurable) are continuous while dogs (countable) are discrete.

Qualitative results are when a result is not a number, and qualitative is when the result is a number. For example: if you're doing a lab and a result is either going to be "blue" or "green", that's qualitative, since those aren't number values. However, if you were measuring distance, that would be qualitative, since you would get a result of "6 meters" or "2.5 inches", which are numerical values.

The scale of measurement are the units in which you are measuring something it. For example: distance has units of inches, feet, miles, etc... and weight has units of grams, kilograms, tons, etc...

Hope this helps! -Alex :)
