Answer:
0
Step-by-step explanation:
If a=b, you are asking for a whole number c such that ...
c = √(a² +a²) = a√2
If 'a' is a whole number, the only whole numbers that satisfy this equation are ...
c = 0 and a = 0.
0 = 0×√2
The lowest whole number c such that c = √(a²+b²) and a=b=whole number is zero.
__
√2 is irrational, so there cannot be two non-zero whole numbers such that c/a=√2.

<em>Additional comment</em>
If you allow 'a' to be irrational, then you can choose any value of 'c' that you like. Whole numbers begin at 0, so 0 is the lowest possible value of 'c'. If you don't like that one, you can choose c=1, which makes a=(√2)/2 ≈ 0.707, an irrational number. The problem statement here puts no restrictions on the values of 'a' and 'b'.
Answer:
1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
the first one
the first one Step-by-step explanation:
the first one Step-by-step explanation:from the formula Un =ar^n-1
where a is 2
where a is 2 r = 20/2=10
where a is 2 r = 20/2=10 so Un= 10×2^n-1
that's all.....have fun
Answer: (7n - 2)² = 249
Explanation:
1) Given expression: 7n² - 4n - 14 = 21
2) Transpose - 14 =>
7n² - 4n = 21 + 14
3) Combine like terms =>
7n² - 4n = 35
4) multiply both terms by 7 =>
(7n)² - 4(7n) = 35×7
5) form the squared binomial:
(7n - 2)² - 4 = 35×7
6) Transpose - 4 =>
(7n - 2)² = 35×7 + 4
7) Do the operations on the right side:
(7n - 2)² = 249 or (7n - 2)² - 249 = 0
8) Verify the equivalence by expanding the binomial:
(7n)² - 2(7n) + 4 - 249 = 0
(7n)² - 14n - 245 = 0
Divide by 7: 7n² - 2n - 35 = 0 or 7n² - 2n = 35, which is equivalent to the given expression.
Answer:
x should equal 10 because 10 divide by -5 would equal -2
