C - no solution
you take the second solution and times the entire equation by -1
then simply
and you get 0x + 0y = 20
V=448 in^3
l=8 in
w=12
h=?
V=l•w•h/3
448=8•12•h/3 multiply both sides by 3
3•448=96•h
1344=96•h
h=1344/96
h=14 in
V=l•w•h/3
h=4in
l=3in
w=2.5 in
V=?
V=4•3•2.5/3
V=30/3
V=10 in^3
Given
- f(n) values for n=1,2,3,4
- possible candidates for the function
Solution:
Method: Evaluate some of the values, for each function. A function with ANY value not matching the given f(n) values will be rejected.
N=1, f(n)=4
f(1)=4-3(1-1)=4
f(1)=4+3^(1+1)=4+3^2=4+9=13 ≠ 4 [rejected]
f(1)=4(3^(n-1))=4(3^0)=4
f(1)=3(4^(n-1))=3(4^0)=3*1=3 [rejected]
N=2, f(n)=12
f(1)=4-3(2-1)=4-3(1)=1 ≠ 12 [rejected]
[rejected]
f(1)=4(3^(2-1)=4*3^1=4*3=12
[rejected]
Will need to check one more to be sure
N=3, f(n)=3
[rejected]
[rejected]
f(3)=4(3^(n-1))=4(3^(3-1))=4(3^2)=4*9=36 [Good]
[rejected]
Solution: f(n)=4(3^(n-1))
Answer:
The combination 9 mm, 6mm, 5mm will not form a triangle.
9 +6 = 15 > 5
6+5= 11 < 9
9+5 =14 > 6
Explanation :
because the side length of triangle does not obey triangle inequality theorem.
The triangle inequality theorem:
The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side.
