Answer:

3:6:4

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Number of apples in the basket=12

Number of pears in the basket=24

Number of oranges in the basket=16

We have to find the ratio of apples, pears and oranges in the basket.

$12=4\times 3$

$24=4\times 3\times 2$

$16=4\times 2\times 2$

HCF (12,24,16)=4

Now, divide each number by HCF

Then, we get

3:6:4

Therefore, the ratio of apples, pears and oranges in the basket.

3:6:4

Y=x+2 y=-3X <br><br>solve system of equations algebraically <br>

goblinko [34]

Answer:

(x,y) = -1/2 , 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y = x +2 ----- (1)

y = -3x ------ (2)

Put equal both sides x +2 = -3x

x = -3x -2

x +3x = -2

4x = -2

x = -1/2 Put it in 2nd equation

Y = -3 (-1/2)

y = 3/2

so (x,y) = -1/2 , 3/2

Hope you got it.

Write the negation of: If we lose electricity, then the data will be lost.

Aleks04 [339]

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided statement.

If we lose electricity, then the data will be lost.

We are need to write the negation of the above statement.

First divide the whole statement in two parts

Let us consider p = We lose electricity and q = The data will be lost.

The symbol use for negation is tilde $\sim$

$\sim(p\rightarrow q)$

$p\wedge \sim q$

Represent T for true and F for False.

The required table is shown below:

p q $(p\wedge \sim q)$

F F F

F T F

T F T

T T F

Hence the required table is shown above.

Aditya determines the remainder of -12x¹⁷+3x⁵-9x²-1/x+1 using the remainder theorem. How does he proceed to the correct answer?

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

Aditya evaluates the numerator of the expression when x = –1. He finds the remainder of the division to be –1

Step-by-step explanation:

– 12x¹⁷+ 3x⁵ – 9x² – 1 / x + 1

To obtain the answer to question, let us apply the remainder theorem. This is illustrated below:

Assume:

x + 1 = 0

Subtract 1 from both side

x + 1 – 1 = 0 – 1

x = – 1

Next, we shall substitute the value of x into – 12x¹⁷+ 3x⁵ – 9x² – 1. This is illustrated below:

– 12x¹⁷+ 3x⁵ – 9x² – 1

x = – 1

– 12(–1)¹⁷+ 3(–1)⁵ – 9(–1)² – 1

– 12(–1) + 3(–1) – 9(1) – 1

12 – 3 – 9 – 1

= –1

Thus, using the remainder theorem,

– 12x¹⁷+ 3x⁵ – 9x² – 1 / x + 1 will result to –1
