Answer: 14

Step-by-step explanation: To find the mean you have to add the two numbers and divide by the amount of numbers (which is 2). 14 plus 2 is equal to 16. and 16 divided by two is equal to eight

Which ratio is equal to the number π
Blizzard [7]

Answer: 3.14

Step-by-step explanation:

Succinctly, pi—which is written as the Greek letter for p, or π—is the ratio of the circumference of any circle to the diameter of that circle. Regardless of the circle's size, this ratio will always equal pi. In decimal form, the value of pi is approximately 3.14.

Can you find a strategy for splitting any number so that you always get the largest product?
Alex

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  split the number into equal pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming "splitting any number" means identifying parts that have the number as their sum, the maximum product of the parts will be found where the parts all have equal values.

We have to assume that the number being split is positive and all of the parts are positive.

<h3>2 parts</h3>

If we divide number n into parts x and (n -x), their product is the quadratic function x(n -x). The graph of this function opens downward and has zeros at x=0 and x=n. The vertex (maximum product) is halfway between the zeros, at x = (0 + n)/2 = n/2.

<h3>3 parts</h3>

Similarly, we can look at how to divide a (positive) number into 3 parts that have the largest product. Let's assume that one part is x. Then the other two parts will have a maximum product when they are equal. Their values will be (n-x)/2, and their product will be ((n -x)/2)^2. Then the product of the three numbers is ...

  p = x(x^2 -2nx +n^2)/4 = (x^3 -2nx^2 +xn^2)/4

This will be maximized where its derivative is zero:

  p' = (1/4)(3x^2 -4nx +n^2) = 0

  (3x -n)(x -n) = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . factor

  x = n/3  or  n

We know that x=n will give a minimum product (0), so the maximum product is obtained when x = n/3.

<h3>more parts</h3>

A similar development can prove by induction that the parts must all be equal.

In ABC, the interior angle at A is 51° and the exterior angle at B is 119º. The interior angle at C measures
erastova [34]

Answer:

68 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the interior angle, we use an important triangle principle

The principle is that the sum of the opposite interior angles equal the exterior angle

Let the second interior angle be x

x + 51 = 119

x = 119-51

x = 68
