5 0

Given:

A line has a gradient of -2

A line that is parallel to this will have a gradient of ..... .

To find:

The missing value.

Solution:

Gradient of a line is also known as slope of the line.

We know that the slopes of the parallel lines are equal.

A line has a gradient of -2. So, the slopes of all the lines which are parallel to this line have a gradient of -2.

Therefore, the missing value is -2.

ra1l [238]

Answer:

$ 154

Step-by-step explanation

Let the value of suitcase=x

x × 4.5% = 6.93 (converted the question into equation)

x × \frac{4.5}{100} = 6.93 (converted the percentage into fraction)

x = 6.93 x \frac{100}{4.5} (took reciprocal of 4.5/100 after moving it to the other side of the equation)

x = \frac{693}{4.5} (multiplied the values)

x = 154 $ (simplified the fraction)

eight ears of corn and a cantaloupe cost $2.37. six ears of corn and 3 cantaloupes cost $3.51. what does a cantaloupe cost?
abruzzese [7]
In the given question, there are two vital information's give. Firstly 8 ears of corn and 1 cantaloupe cost $2.37. On the other hand 6 ears of corn and 3 cantaloupes cost $3.51.
Let us assume the cost of 1 corn = X
Let us assume the cost of 1 cantaloupe = Y
Then
8X + Y = 2.37
Y = 2.37 - 8X
And
6X + 3Y = 3.51
Now we replace the value of Y we found from the first equation
Then
6X + 3(2.37 - 8X) = 3.51
6X - 24X + 7.11 = 3.51
-18X = 3.51 - 7.11
-18X = -3.6
X = 3.6/18
   = 0.20
So $0.20 is the value of 1 corn. Then the value of a cantaloupe
Y = 2.37 - 8X
   = 2.37 - (8 * 0.20)
   = 2.37 - 1.6
   = 0.77
So cost of a cantaloupe is $0.77

The first three terms in the binomial expansion of (a+b)^n in ascending powers of b, are p,q and r respectively. show that q^2/p
katen-ka-za [31]

First 3 terms are a^2 + n a^(n-)1 b + n(n-1)/2 * a^(n-2) b^2


So q^2 / pr = (n^2 * a^(2n-2) * b^2 ) / (1/2 * a^n * (n(n-1) * a^(n-2) * b^2 )


= n^2 * a^2n-2 * b^2

-----------------------------------

1/2 n(n-1) * a^(2n-2) * b^2


= 2n / n - 1 as required


given p = 4, q=32 and r = 96:-


32^2 / 4*96 = 2n / n-1

2n / n-1 = 8/3

6n = 8n - 8

2n = 8


n = 4 answer
