Mathematics

1 answer:

Serjik [45]3 years ago

8 0

Answer:

p = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

p + 4/p - 4

multiplying through by p,

p×p + 4/p ×p - 4×p

p² + 4 - 4p = 0

p² - 4p + 4 = 0

factorizing,

p(p - 2) -2(p - 2) =0

(p -2)(p -2) =0

p-2 =0

p=2

State whether the following statement is true or false, and explain why. If the statement is false, state the true change. A h

katovenus [111]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a high school reports that its students' SAT scores were down by 12% in one year. The next year, however, the test scores rose by 20%.

Let score initially be 100

Down by 12

Next year score 88

For succeedingyear

increase is 20% = $20% of 88=17.6\\$

Score in the 2nd year = $88+17.6 = 105.6$

Hence overall scores improvement is 5.6% and not 8%

I need to write an even number between 7 and 16 draw a picture an them write a sentence to explain why it is an even number

serious [3.7K]

An even number is a number that is divisible by 2.
This means that dividing this number by 2 yields no remainder (the remainder is zero).

The even numbers between 7 and 16 are:
8 as 8/2 = 4 and remainder is zero
10 as 10/2 = 5 and remainder is zero
12 as 12/2 = 6 and remainder is zero
14 as 14/2 = 7 and remainder is zero

DG¯¯¯¯¯¯ , EG¯¯¯¯¯ , and FG¯¯¯¯¯ are perpendicular bisectors of the sides of △ABC . DG=5 cm and BD=12 cm.

jonny [76]

Given that DG, EG, and FG are perpendicular bisectors of the sides of △ABC, this means that the point of intersection, G, is the circumcenter of the triangle and hence AG, BG, and CG are equal.

Given that DG = 5 cm and BD = 12 cm, then

$BG= \sqrt{DG^2+BD^2} \\ \\ = \sqrt{5^2+12^2} = \sqrt{25+144} \\ \\ = \sqrt{169} =13$

Since AG = BG = CG, therefore, CG = 13 cm.
