Answer:

The numbers are 2 and 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The smaller number would have been 1 less than the bigger number so that if for example the smaller number is 1 and the bigger number is 2, their difference would have been 1-2 = -1

5 is an odd number so if it were to be divided into two integers, one would be more than the other, namely 2 and 3.

If you double-check their difference:

2-3 = -1

Thus, the two numbers are 2 and 3.

A coin is tossed 8 times. Which of the following represents the probability of the coin landing on heads all 8 times?

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\large\boxed{Probability=1/256\approx 0.0039}}$

Explanation:

Since, there are two possible outcomes for every toss (head or tail), the sample space for a coin tossed 8 times is 2×2×2×2×2×2×2×2 = 2⁸ = 256.

Landing on heads all 8 times is just one of the possible outcomes: HHHHHHHH ⇒ 1.

Hence, the probability is calculated from its own definition:

Probability = number of favorable outcomes / number of possible outcomes

$Probability=1/256\approx 0.0039\text{ }\leftarrow answer$

What is the value of n 2.3x10^9 = (1x10^3) (2.3x10^n)

n200080 [17]

Here's one shortcut:

2.3×10^9=1000(2.3×10^6) because your adding 3 more zeros to 2300000

A student says that all linear functions are either increasing or decreasing. Do you agree? Explain

I disagree, because a function can have a slope of zero and be neither increasing nor decreasing.
