Step-by-step explanation:

x³ - 23x² + 142x - 120

x³ - x² - 22x² + 22x + 120x - 120

x²(x - 1) - 22x(x - 1) + 120(x - 1)

(x - 1)(x² - 22x + 120)

(x - 1)(x² - 10x - 12x + 120)

(x - 1)[x(x - 10) - 12(x - 10)]

(x - 1) (x - 10) (x - 12)

Prove by contradiction that the interval (a,<br> b.has no minimum element.

Snowcat [4.5K]

Assume (a,b) has a minimum element m.

m is in the interval so a < m < b.

a < m

Adding a to both sides,

2a < a + m

Adding m to both sides of the first inequality,

a + m < 2m

2a < a+m < 2m

a < (a+m)/2 < m < b

Since the average (a+m)/2 is in the range (a,b) and less than m, that contradicts our assumption that m is the minimum. So we conclude there is no minimum since given any purported minimum we can always compute something smaller in the range.

Can someone please help me on this

Answer:

15.7 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

A clock is a circle . It tells us that the radius of the circle is 2.5 inches, and it is asking for the circumference. Therefore, we can use the equations for a circle to solve for the circumference.

$Circumference=2\pi r\\C = 2 \pi (2.5)\\C = 15.708$
