Explain why 20 is not a square number.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Marizza181 [45]3 years ago

A number is a perfect square (or a square number) if its square root is an integer; that is to say, it is the product of an integer with itself. Here, the square root of 20 is about 4.472. Thus, the square root of 20 is not an integer, and therefore 20 is not a square number.

The numbers​ 1, 2,​ 3, 4, and 5 are written on slips of​ paper, and 2 slips are drawn at random one at a time without replacemen
mamaluj [8]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a)

The probability is :  1/2

(b)

The probability is :  1/2

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

The numbers​ 1, 2,​ 3, 4, and 5 are written on slips of​ paper, and 2 slips are drawn at random one at a time without replacement.

The total combinations that are possible are:

(1,2)   (1,3)    (1,4)    (1,5)

(2,1)   (2,3)   (2,4)   (2,5)

(3,1)   (3,2)   (3,4)   (3,5)

(4,1)   (4,2)   (4,3)   (4,5)

(5,1)   (5,2)   (5,3)   (5,4)

i.e. the total outcomes are : 20

(a)

Let A denote the event that the first number is 4.

and B denote the event that the sum is: 9.

Let P denote the probability of an event.

We are asked to find:

               P(A|B)

We know that it could be calculated by using the formula:

P(A|B)=\dfrac{P(A\bigcap B)}{P(B)}

Hence, based on the data we have:

P(A\bigcap B)=\dfrac{1}{20}

( Since, out of a total of 20 outcomes there is just one outcome which comes in A∩B and it is:  (4,5) )

and

P(B)=\dfrac{2}{20}

( since, there are just two outcomes such that the sum is: 9

(4,5) and (5,4) )

Hence, we have:

P(A|B)=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{20}}{\dfrac{2}{20}}\\\\i.e.\\\\P(A|B)=\dfrac{1}{2}

(b)

Let A denote the event that the first number is 3.

and B denote the event that the sum is: 8.

Let P denote the probability of an event.

We are asked to find:

               P(A|B)

Hence, based on the data we have:

P(A\bigcap B)=\dfrac{1}{20}

( since, the only outcome out of 20 outcomes is:  (3,5) )

and

P(B)=\dfrac{2}{20}

( since, there are just two outcomes such that the sum is: 8

(3,5) and (5,3) )

Hence, we have:

P(A|B)=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{20}}{\dfrac{2}{20}}\\\\i.e.\\\\P(A|B)=\dfrac{1}{2}

Write an equation in point-slope form for the line through the given point with the given slope.
zlopas [31]

Answer:

y+1 = -1(x+10)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point slope equation of a line is

y-y1 = m(x-x1) where m is the slope  and (x1, y1) is a point on the line

y - -1 = -1 (x --10)

y+1 = -1(x+10)
