Answer:

Sally is not right

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the two sequences which have their respective n^{th} terms as following:

Sequence A. 3n - 2

Sequence B. 10 - 2n

As per Sally, there exists only one number which is in both the sequences.

To find:

Whether Sally is correct or not.

Solution:

For Sally to be correct, we need to put the n^{th} terms of the respective sequences as equal and let us verify that.

3n-2=10-2n\\\Rightarrow 3n+2n=10+2\\\Rightarrow 5n=12\\\Rightarrow n = \dfrac{12}{5}

When we talk about n^{th} terms, n here is a whole number not a fractional number.

But as per the statement as stated by Sally n is a fractional number, only then the two sequences can have a number which is in the both sequences.

Therefore, no number can be in both the sequences A and B.

Hence, Sally is not right.

Answer:

90°

Step-by-step explanation:

as a straight line is 180°

and the angle 4 is 90 degrees it must mean that the other side is 90 degrees too

The coordinate plane below represents a town. Points A through F are farms in the town.
prohojiy [21]

Part A;
There are many system of inequalities that can be created such that only contain points D and E in the overlapping shaded regions.

Any system of inequalities which is satisfied by (-4, 2) and (-1, 5) but is not satisfied by (1, 3), (3, 1), (3, -3) and (-3, -3) can serve.
An example of such system of equation is
x < 0
y > 0
The system of equation above represent all the points in the second quadrant of the coordinate system.The area above the x-axis and to the left of the y-axis is shaded.


Part B:It can be verified that points D and E are solutions to the system of inequalities above by substituting the coordinates of points D and E into the system of equations and see whether they are true.
Substituting D(-4, 2) into the system
we have:
-4 < 0
2 > 0
as can be seen the two inequalities above are true, hence point D is a solution to the set of inequalities.
Also, substituting E(-1, 5) into the system we have:
-1 < 0
5 > 0
as can be seen the two inequalities above are true, hence point E is a solution to the set of inequalities.

Part C:Given that chicken can only be raised in the area defined by y > 3x - 4.
To identify the farms in which chicken can be raised, we substitute the coordinates of the points A to F into the inequality defining chicken's area.
For point A(1, 3): 3 > 3(1) - 4 ⇒ 3 > 3 - 4 ⇒ 3 > -1 which is true
For point B(3, 1): 1 > 3(3) - 4 ⇒ 1 > 9 - 4 ⇒ 1 > 5 which is false
For point C(3, -3): -3 > 3(3) - 4 ⇒ -3 > 9 - 4 ⇒ -3 > 5 which is false
For point D(-4, 2): 2 > 3(-4) - 4; 2 > -12 - 4 ⇒ 2 > -16 which is true
For point E(-1, 5): 5 > 3(-1) - 4 ⇒ 5 > -3 - 4 ⇒ 5 > -7 which is true
For point F(-3, -3): -3 > 3(-3) - 4 ⇒ -3 > -9 - 4 ⇒ -3 > -13 which is true
Therefore, the farms in which chicken can be raised are the farms at point A, D, E and F.
