The function d(t)=-2t^2+9t+18 most closely represents the height(h) of the golf ball in feet after t seconds. How long is the go

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

d(t)=-2t^2+9t+18

calculate the derivate : f'(t) = - 4t+9

f'(t) = 0 : - 4t+9= 0 so t = 9/4

the maximum value is f(9/4) = ....... continue

Prove that if n is a perfect square then n + 2 is not a perfect square

notka56 [123]

Answer:

This statement can be proven by contradiction for $n \in \mathbb{N}$ (including the case where $n = 0$ .)

$\text{Let $n \in \mathbb{N}$ be a perfect square}$ .

$\textbf{Case 1.} ~ \text{n = 0}$ :

$\text{$n + 2 = 2$, which isn't a perfect square}$ .

$\text{Claim verified for $n = 0$}$ .

$\textbf{Case 2.} ~ \text{$n \in \mathbb{N}$ and $n \ne 0$. Hence $n \ge 1$}$ .

$\text{Assume that $n$ is a perfect square}$ .

$\text{$\iff$ $\exists$ $a \in \mathbb{N}$ s.t. $a^2 = n$}$ .

$\text{Assume $\textit{by contradiction}$ that $(n + 2)$ is a perfect square}$ .

$\text{$\iff$ $\exists$ $b \in \mathbb{N}$ s.t. $b^2 = n + 2$}$ .

$\text{$n + 2 > n > 0$ $\implies$ $b = \sqrt{n + 2} > \sqrt{n} = a$}$ .

$\text{$a,\, b \in \mathbb{N} \subset \mathbb{Z}$ $\implies b - a = b + (- a) \in \mathbb{Z}$}$ .

$\text{$b > a \implies b - a > 0$. Therefore, $b - a \ge 1$}$ .

$\text{$\implies b \ge a + 1$}$ .

$\text{$\implies n+ 2 = b^2 \ge (a + 1)^2= a^2 + 2\, a + 1 = n + 2\, a + 1$}$ .

$\text{$\iff 1 \ge 2\,a $}$ .

$\text{$\displaystyle \iff a \le \frac{1}{2}$}$ .

$\text{Contradiction (with the assumption that $a \ge 1$)}$ .

$\text{Hence the original claim is verified for $n \in \mathbb{N}\backslash\{0\}$}$ .

$\text{Hence the claim is true for all $n \in \mathbb{N}$}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the natural number $n \in \mathbb{N}$ is a perfect square. Then, (by the definition of perfect squares) there should exist a natural number $a$ ( $a \in \mathbb{N}$ ) such that $a^2 = n$ .

Assume by contradiction that $n + 2$ is indeed a perfect square. Then there should exist another natural number $b \in \mathbb{N}$ such that $b^2 = (n + 2)$ .

Note, that since $(n + 2) > n \ge 0$ , $\sqrt{n + 2} > \sqrt{n}$ . Since $b = \sqrt{n + 2}$ while $a = \sqrt{n}$ , one can conclude that $b > a$ .

Keep in mind that both $a$ and $b$ are natural numbers. The minimum separation between two natural numbers is $1$ . In other words, if $b > a$ , then it must be true that $b \ge a + 1$ .

Take the square of both sides, and the inequality should still be true. (To do so, start by multiplying both sides by $(a + 1)$ and use the fact that $b \ge a + 1$ to make the left-hand side $b^2$ .)

$b^2 \ge (a + 1)^2$ .

Expand the right-hand side using the binomial theorem:

$(a + 1)^2 = a^2 + 2\,a + 1$ .

$b^2 \ge a^2 + 2\,a + 1$ .

However, recall that it was assumed that $a^2 = n$ and $b^2 = n + 2$ . Therefore,

$\underbrace{b^2}_{=n + 2)} \ge \underbrace{a^2}_{=n} + 2\,a + 1$ .

$n + 2 \ge n + 2\, a + 1$ .

Subtract $n + 1$ from both sides of the inequality:

$1 \ge 2\, a$ .

$\displaystyle a \le \frac{1}{2} = 0.5$ .

Recall that $a$ was assumed to be a natural number. In other words, $a \ge 0$ and $a$ must be an integer. Hence, the only possible value of $a$ would be $0$ .

Since $a$ could be equal $0$ , there's not yet a valid contradiction. To produce the contradiction and complete the proof, it would be necessary to show that $a = 0$ just won't work as in the assumption.

If indeed $a = 0$ , then $n = a^2 = 0$ . $n + 2 = 2$ , which isn't a perfect square. That contradicts the assumption that if $n = 0$ is a perfect square, $n + 2 = 2$ would be a perfect square. Hence, by contradiction, one can conclude that

$\text{if $n$ is a perfect square, then $n + 2$ is not a perfect square.}$ .

Note that to produce a more well-rounded proof, it would likely be helpful to go back to the beginning of the proof, and show that $n \ne 0$ . Then one can assume without loss of generality that $n \ne 0$ . In that case, the fact that $\displaystyle a \le \frac{1}{2}$ is good enough to count as a contradiction.

What specific pieces of information should you look for in any loan contract? Why is this information important? Need help ASAP!

kipiarov [429]

1.Consumer’s Name. 2. Monthly Income. 3. Social Security Number. 4. The Property Address. 5. An Estimate of the Value of the Property. 6. The Loan Amount.
If any single piece of the above information is not included the application will not be considered valid and will not be submitted for processing. Although these are the primary pieces of information that a lender needs in order to start the loan application process, it does not mean they are the only pieces of information needed. Lenders may require additional data, depending on the specific circumstances surrounding the borrowers and the loan.

An older person is 9 years older than four times the age of a younger person the sum of their ages is 24 find their ages

wlad13 [49]

Step-by-step explanation:

let the younger person be x and older be y

4x + 9 = 24

4x = 15

x = 3.75

y = 24 - 3.75

y = 20.25
