Answer:
Option (d) is wrong.
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope is:
- rise over run
- The rate of change of a line
- Change in y over the change in x
- <em><u>The ratio of vertical change to the horizontal change. </u></em>
It can be given by mathematically as follows :
Hence, the option which is not a description of slope is (d) "the ratio of horizontal change compared to vertical change"
Let
x-----------> first <span>odd integer
x+2--------> second consecutive odd integer
x+4-------> third consecutive odd integer
we know that
(x+4)</span>²=15+x²+(x+2)²-------> x²+8x+16=15+x²+x²+4x+4
x²+8x+16=19+2x²+4x-------> x²-4x+3
x²-4x+3=0
using a graph tool----------> to calculate the quadratic equation
see the attached figure
the solution is
x=1
x=3
the answer is
the first odd integer x is 1
the second consecutive odd integer x+2 is 3
the third consecutive odd integer x+4 is 5
Example of use of terms:
Statement: If it is far, we take a bus.
Inverse: If it is not far, we do not take a bus.
Converse: If we take a bus, it is far.
Contrapositive: If we do not take a bus, it is not far.
We also know that
1. The inverse of the inverse is the statement itself, and similarly for converse and contrapositive.
2. Only the contrapositive is logically equivalent to the original statement.
This means that the converse and inverse are logically different from the original statement.
Now back to the given statement.
To find the original statement, we find the contrapositive of the contrapositive.
We then find the converse from the original statement, as in the example above.
Original statement
(note that in English, if it is not worth X dollars, means if it is not worth AT LEAST X dollars")
contrapositive of
<span>
"If an item is not worth five dimes, then it is not worth two quarters.”
is the negation of the converse, which become
"If an item is worth two quarters, then it is worth (at least) five dimes."
The converse of the previous statement is therefore
"If an item is worth (at least) five dimes then it is worth two quarters"
In this particular case, we can also take advantage of the fact that the contrapositive is the negation of the converse. So all we have to do is the provide the negation of each component of the contrapositive to get the converse:
"If an item is worth (at least) five dimes, then it is worth two quarters".
as before.
Note that the converse does NOT logically mean the same as the original statement.
