Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Property of a right triangle,
(Hypotenuse)² = (leg 1)² + (leg 2)²
If the length of sides of the given triangle are 7mm, 14mm and 15mm.
(15)² = (7)² + (14)²
225 = 49 + 196
225 = 245
False
Therefore, the given triangle is not a right triangle.
Answer:
False
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of a line is
Change in y over change in x
This is also known as rise over run
Answer:
Explained below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the series is a set of first 6 natural numbers.
Sum of first <em>n</em> terms is:
Consider the series is an arithmetic sequence.
Sum of first <em>n</em> terms is:
![S_{n}=\frac{n}{2} [2a+(n-1)d]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=S_%7Bn%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7Bn%7D%7B2%7D%20%5B2a%2B%28n-1%29d%5D)
Here<em>,</em>
<em>a</em> = first term
<em>d</em> = common difference
Consider the series is an geometric sequence.
Sum of first <em>n</em> terms is:
Here<em>,</em>
<em>a₁</em> = first term
<em>r</em> = common ratio
Understanding the Question
This may not be the actual way that the US government prepares the CPI, but it will provide a comparison.
You can set up a proportion. The base number for the CPI is 38.8 in 1970. That number (38.8) has more than doubled to get to 82.4, which also tells us that there was inflation. What your parents and grandparents bought in 1970 went to double the amount in 1980. Gasoline certainly did that.
Givens
CPI in 1970 = 38.8
CPI in 1980 = 82.4
Eggs 1970 = 0.25
Edgs 1980 = X
Formula substitution and solution
CPI 1970 / CPI 1980 = cost of eggs 1970 / cost of eggs 1980
38.8/82.4 = 0.25 / x Cross multiply
38.8 * x = 0.25 * 82.4
38.8 * x = 20.625
x = 20.628 /38.8
x = 0.53 dollars of 53 cents.
53 cents in 1980 which is slightly double as predicted.
Footnote
As a matter of interest, my wife tells me that eggs now cost about 3.58 where we live. That's almost 7 times as expensive as they were in 1980. Something to think about. By the way, the price quoted is in Canada.
