Explain why 20 is not a square number.

1 answer:

8 0

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.

Tell weather each pair is parallel, perpendicular, or neither: y= 3x + 2 2y= 6x -6

scoray [572]

The pair are parallel to eachother. The second equation in slope intercept form is y = 3x-3, since they have the same slope they’re parallel.

What are the coordinates of the triangle after a dilation with a scale factor of 2? Center it at (2, 2) .

Elodia [21]

Dilation of a point P(x,y) with scale factor s centred at (p,q) is given by
P'=(p+s*(x-p),q+s*(x-q))

Substituting
s=2, p=2,q=2
P'=(2+2*(x-2),2+2*(y-2))

P P'
(2,4) (2+2(2-2), 2+2*(4-2)) = (2, 6)
(0,6) (2+2(0-2), 2+2*(6-2)) = (-2, 10)
(-3,3) (2+2(-3-2), 2+2*(3-2)) = (-8, 4)

6x+5y=120, 7x+11y=202 solve for x and y

Talja [164]

6x=120-5y -> x=20-5/6*y -> 7(20-5/6*y) + 11y =202 -> 140-35/6*y + 11y = 202 -> 140+31/6*y=202 -> 31/6*y = 62 -> y = 12.

Without doing the math, determine which is greater, 40 . 1/4 or 40/14. explain your reasoning

BARSIC [14]

40 is greater because we can easily see that 1/4 is not a whole number that is less than 40 and the 40/14 will be changed into a lesser mixed number which again, is less than 40.

Which equation could be used to solve the problem? Sarah spent $160 on lunch in 10 weeks. If she spent the same amount every wee

ser-zykov [4K]

The correct answer would be A, because 160/10 is getting you your unit rate, or the amount Sarah spent every week.
