Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

No, because (x^2-x)/2 does equal x^2/2-x/2. Honestly, it really depends on the value of x, as it provide whether or not the expression is divisible by 2.

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two cases: Case 1: x is even, so x can be modelled as a generic number 2n, where n is a positive integer. Clearly this product is divisible by two. ... Hence, it is safe to generalise that the term x²-x is divisible by 2 for any positive integer x.

List the sides of each triangle from shortest to greatest
True [87]

A) First, we need to calculate x. We can do this by doing: 180-(70+50), which is nothing but 60.

Since the largest angle is 60, it means that the side opposite of it is the largest side. Which in this case, side AB.

So the largest side is AB.

Now, let's take a look at the smallest angle which is <B, because AC is the opposite of this angle, it must also be the smallest side.

We're left with angle <50, which is "medium" sized? Obviously, this can just be put in the middle (Side BC)

So, for response A, you should get AC, BC, AB.

Now for problem B, it's the same steps we did above. If you replicate what we did you should get PQ, PR,RQ.

Please let me know how I did.

Happy studying!

Given two points A and B, there is only one segment that you can name: AB. With three collinear points A, B, and C, there are th
aksik [14]

Answer: 10

Imagine you have 2 slots or boxes that are empty. They represent the possible choices for the letter you pick. For example, you can place B in slot 1 and D in slot 2. There are 5 choices for slot 1 (A,B,C,D,E) and four choices for slot 2. Why 4? Because after we pick the letter for slot 1, we have one less letter to pick from. We can't reuse that letter.

Now multiply those values 5 and 4 to get 20. There are 20 different ways to pick a pair of letters from a pool of 5 total. However, order does NOT matter because the segment AB is the same as BA. Since order doesn't matter, we are doubly counting when we shouldn't. In other words, our count is two times higher than it should be. Instead of 20 pairs, it's actually 20/2 = 10 pairs. That's why the answer is 10.

The list of 10 segments are: {AB,AC,AD,AE,BC,BD,BE,CD,CE,DE}

Side note: you can use the nCr combination formula with n = 5 and r = 2 to get the same answer.

Find the missing length of the triangle. <br>A = 3.4 cm <br>C = 1.6 cm <br>B = ?​
postnew [5]

Answer: b = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. a^2 + b^2 = c^2

2. 1.6^2 + b^2 = 3.4^2

3. 2.56 + b^2 = 11.56

4. 11.56-2.56 = b^2

5. 9 = b^2

6. 3 = b
