Show that if n is an integer and n^3 + 5 is odd then n is even

Mathematics

If n is odd then its cube is also odd because odd times odd is odd. When we add 5, an odd number, we get an even number.
If n is even, its cube is also even so adding an odd number makes the sum odd. So if the expression is odd, n must be even.

Which experiment describes a binomial experiment?
marshall27 [118]
Answer: the last option.
A binomial experiment is an experiment with only two possible outcomes.

In the first option, there is three possible outcomes (i.e. A, B, C)
In the second option, there is four poissible outcomes (i.e. ace, king, queen, jack)
The third option has six possible outcomes (i.e. six faces of a die)
In the last option, there are two possible outcomes (i.e. '2 number cubes')

The point P(7, −2) lies on the curve y = 2/(6 − x). (a) If Q is the point (x, 2/(6 − x)), use your calculator to find the slope
NARA [144]

Answer:

a) (i) m = 2.22, (ii) m = 2, (iii) m = 2, (iv) m = 2, (v) m = 1.82, (vi) m = 2, (vii) m = 2, (viii) m = 2; b) m \approx 2; c) The equation of the tangent line to curve at P (7, -2) is y = 2\cdot x + 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The slope of the secant line PQ is represented by the following definition of slope:

m = \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} = \frac{y_{Q}-y_{P}}{x_{Q}-x_{P}}

(i) x_{Q} = 6.9:

y_{Q} =\frac{2}{6-6.9}

y_{Q} = -2.222

m = \frac{-2.222 + 2}{6.9-7}

m = 2.22

(ii) x_{Q} = 6.99

y_{Q} =\frac{2}{6-6.99}

y_{Q} = -2.020

m = \frac{-2.020 + 2}{6.99-7}

m = 2

(iii) x_{Q} = 6.999

y_{Q} =\frac{2}{6-6.999}

y_{Q} = -2.002

m = \frac{-2.002 + 2}{6.999-7}

m = 2

(iv) x_{Q} = 6.9999

y_{Q} =\frac{2}{6-6.9999}

y_{Q} = -2.0002

m = \frac{-2.0002 + 2}{6.9999-7}

m = 2

(v) x_{Q} = 7.1

y_{Q} =\frac{2}{6-7.1}

y_{Q} = -1.818

m = \frac{-1.818 + 2}{7.1-7}

m = 1.82

(vi) x_{Q} = 7.01

y_{Q} =\frac{2}{6-7.01}

y_{Q} = -1.980

m = \frac{-1.980 + 2}{7.01-7}

m = 2

(vii) x_{Q} = 7.001

y_{Q} =\frac{2}{6-7.001}

y_{Q} = -1.998

m = \frac{-1.998 + 2}{7.001-7}

m = 2

(viii)  x_{Q} = 7.0001

y_{Q} =\frac{2}{6-7.0001}

y_{Q} = -1.9998

m = \frac{-1.9998 + 2}{7.0001-7}

m = 2

b) The slope at P (7,-2) can be estimated by using the following average:

m \approx \frac{f(6.9999)+f(7.0001)}{2}

m \approx \frac{2+2}{2}

m \approx 2

The slope of the tangent line to the curve at P(7, -2) is 2.

c) The equation of the tangent line is a first-order polynomial with the following characteristics:

y = m\cdot x + b

Where:

x - Independent variable.

y - Depedent variable.

m - Slope.

b - x-Intercept.

The slope was found in point (b) (m = 2). Besides, the point of tangency (7,-2) is known and value of x-Intercept can be obtained after clearing the respective variable:

-2 = 2 \cdot 7 + b

b = -2 + 14

b = 12

The equation of the tangent line to curve at P (7, -2) is y = 2\cdot x + 12.

You go out to lunch with some friends. Your lunch came to $9.76. If you want to leave a 15% tip, how much will you pay in total?
zalisa [80]

Answer:

1.47

Step-by-step explanation:

9.76/10=10% = 0.976 round to 0.98

5%=0.97/2 = 0.49

add them = 1.47 tip
