When applying indirect proofs, we assume the negation of the conclusion is true, and show that this assumption would lead to nonsense, or contradiction.
In our case we assume a is not smaller than 7, that is we assume a≥7.
a≥7 then, multiplying both sides by 3:
3a≥21, then, adding both sides 7:
3a+7≥28,
which is a contradiction because 3a+7 is smaller than 28.
So our assumption is wrong, which means the opposite of it is correct.
Answer: assume a≥7
First we solve what we can solve.
<span>y</span>-3= 2/3<span>(</span>x-1)
We first multiply
<span>y</span>-3= 2/3 (x) - 2/3
Then we move the -3 and it becomes +3 on the other side
y= 2/3 (x) - 2/3 + 3
And we solve what we can to get our answer.
y= 2/3 (x) + 2 1/3
Answer: the tuition in 2020 is $502300
Step-by-step explanation:
The annual tuition at a specific college was $20,500 in 2000, and $45,4120 in 2018. Let us assume that the rate of increase is linear. Therefore, the fees in increasing in an arithmetic progression.
The formula for determining the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as
Tn = a + (n - 1)d
Where
a represents the first term of the sequence.
d represents the common difference.
n represents the number of terms in the sequence.
From the information given,
a = $20500
The fee in 2018 is the 19th term of the sequence. Therefore,
T19 = $45,4120
n = 19
Therefore,
454120 = 20500 + (19 - 1) d
454120 - 20500 = 19d
18d = 433620
d = 24090
Therefore, an
equation that can be used to find the tuition y for x years after 2000 is
y = 20500 + 24090(x - 1)
Therefore, at 2020,
n = 21
y = 20500 + 24090(21 - 1)
y = 20500 + 481800
y = $502300
Answer:
we can translate the given statement into-8 ≥ -5x + 2 > -38.
In this case, we can dissect the inequality into two parts:
-8 ≥ -5x + 2 and -5x + 2 > -38
Step-by-step explanation:
-8 ≥ -5x + 2 5x ≥ 10x ≥ 2 (closed dot)
-5x + 2 > -38 5x < 40x < 8 (open dot)
The answer then is c) number line with a closed dot on 2 and an open dot on 8 and shading in between
