Answer:
(7, 24, 26)
Step-by-step explanation:
A Pythagorean triple must have an odd number of even numbers. The triple (7, 24, 26) is not a Pythagorean triple.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
For an odd integer n, a triple can be formed as ...
(n, (n²-1)/2, (n²+1)/2)
That is, the following will be Pythagorean triples.
- (3, 4, 5)
- (5, 12, 13)
- (7, 24, 25)
- (9, 40, 41)
- (11, 60, 61)
Another series involves even numbers and numbers separated by 2:
(2n, n²-1, n²+1)
- (8, 15, 17)
- (12, 35, 37)
- (16, 63, 65)
In this list, if n is not a multiple of 2, the triple will be a multiple of one from the odd-number series.
It is a good idea to remember a few of these, as they tend to show up in Algebra, Geometry, and Trigonometry problems.
Answer:
12% of 315 is 37.8 :) Tag me if I'm wrong
<span>The number of ways to permute three correct answers among five questions is 5Choose3 which is 5!/(3!*2!) which equals 10.
We must then have the correct answer three times which happens .25 of the time, and two wrong answers 75 of the time.
So the probability is 10*0.25^3*.75^2 which is 0.087890625 or roughly an 8.8% chance.</span>
