Answer:

≈ <em>3.4</em><em> </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Coordinates of the point that divide segment with endpoints A( $x_{1}$ , $y_{1}$ ) and B( $x_{2}$ , $y_{2}$ ) in a ratio a : b are

$\frac{bx_{1} +ax_{2} }{a+b}$ , $\frac{by_{1} +ay_{2} }{a+b}$ )

A(- 4, - 7)

B(8, - 4)

Ratio 8 : 5

x-coordinate is $\frac{5(-4)+8(8)}{8+5}$ = $\frac{44}{13}$ ≈ <em>3.4</em>

I think it would be y plus 3 times 2 equals 5x. I'm not sure if that is what they are asking for.

Exercise 2.4.2: Proving statements about rational numbers with direct proofs. About Prove each of the following statements using

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Proof: Product of two rational numbers

Using direct proofs.

Let the two rational numbers be A and B.

Such that:

$A = \frac{1}{2}$

$B = \frac{2}{3}$

The product:

$A * B = \frac{1}{2} * \frac{2}{3}$

$A * B = \frac{1}{1} * \frac{1}{3}$

$A * B = 1 * \frac{1}{3}$

$A * B = \frac{1}{3}$

Proved, because 1/3 is rational

(b) Proof: Quotient of a rational number and a non-zero rational number

Using direct proofs.

Let the two rational numbers be A and B.

Such that:

$A = \frac{1}{2}$

$B = \frac{2}{3}$

The quotient:

$A / B = \frac{1}{2} / \frac{2}{3}$

Express as product

$A / B = \frac{1}{2} / \frac{3}{2}$

$A / B = \frac{1*3}{2*2}$

$A / B = \frac{3}{4}$

Proved, because 3/4 is rational

(c) x + y is rational (missing from the question)

Using direct proofs.

Let x and y be

Such that:

$x = \frac{1}{2}$

$y = \frac{2}{3}$

The sum:

$x + y = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{2}{3}$

Take LCM

$x + y = \frac{3+4}{6}$

$x + y = \frac{7}{6}$

Proved, because 7/6 is rational

<em>The above proof works for all values of A, B, x and y; as long as they are rational values</em>

Help me solve this pleaseeee

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

f(n) = 6n + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a common difference in consecutive number of seats, that is

42 - 36 = 36 - 30 = 30 - 24 = 24 - 18 = 6

This indicates the sequence is arithmetic with nth term

$a_{n}$ = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = 18 and d = 6 , then

f(n) = 18 + 6(n - 1) = 18 + 6n - 6 = 6n + 12
