<span>There are several ways to do this problem. One of them is to realize that there's only 14 possible calendars for any year (a year may start on any of 7 days, and a year may be either a leap year, or a non-leap year. So 7*2 = 14 possible calendars for any year). And since there's only 14 different possibilities, it's quite easy to perform an exhaustive search to prove that any year has between 1 and 3 Friday the 13ths. Let's first deal with non-leap years. Initially, I'll determine what day of the week the 13th falls for each month for a year that starts on Sunday. Jan - Friday Feb - Monday Mar - Monday Apr - Thursday May - Saturday Jun - Tuesday Jul - Thursday Aug - Sunday Sep - Wednesday Oct - Friday Nov - Monday Dec - Wednesday Now let's count how many times for each weekday, the 13th falls there. Sunday - 1 Monday - 3 Tuesday - 1 Wednesday - 2 Thursday - 2 Friday - 2 Saturday - 1 The key thing to notice is that there is that the number of times the 13th falls upon a weekday is always in the range of 1 to 3 days. And if the non-leap year were to start on any other day of the week, the numbers would simply rotate to the next days. The above list is generated for a year where January 1st falls on a Sunday. If instead it were to fall on a Monday, then the value above for Sunday would be the value for Monday. The value above for Monday would be the value for Tuesday, etc. So we've handled all possible non-leap years. Let's do that again for a leap year starting on a Sunday. We get: Jan - Friday Feb - Monday Mar - Tuesday Apr - Friday May - Sunday Jun - Wednesday Jul - Friday Aug - Monday Sep - Thursday Oct - Saturday Nov - Tuesday Dec - Thursday And the weekday totals are: Sunday - 1 Monday - 2 Tuesday - 2 Wednesday - 1 Thursday - 2 Friday - 3 Saturday - 1 And once again, for every weekday, the total is between 1 and 3. And the same argument applies for every leap year. And since we've covered both leap and non-leap years. Then we've demonstrated that for every possible year, Friday the 13th will happen at least once, and no more than 3 times.</span>

Consider f and c below. f(x, y, z) = (y2z + 2xz2)i + 2xyzj + (xy2 + 2x2z)k,
qaws [65]
\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}=y^2z+2xz^2
f(x,y,z)=xy^2z+x^2z^2+g(y,z)

\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=2xyz+\dfrac{\partial g}{\partial y}=2xyz
\dfrac{\partial g}{\partial y}=0\implies g(y,z)=h(z)

\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial z}=xy^2+2x^2z+\dfrac{\mathrm dh}{\mathrm dz}=xy^2+2x^2z
\dfrac{\mathrm dh}{\mathrm dz}=0\implies h(z)=0

\implies f(x,y,z)=xy^2z+x^2z^2+C

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = side*side

side * side = 49

side * side = 7*7

side = 7 inches

Perimeter = 4*side

=4 * 7

= 28 inches

Answer:

(i) 22.5

(ii) 7.2

Step-by-step explanation:

(i)

AB:PQ = 2:5 = 1:2.5

So PQ is 2.5 times longer than AB.

PQ=2.5AB=(2.5)9=22.5

(ii):

Since the triangles are similar, their sides are in ratio to each other. So if PQ was 2.5 times longer than AB, QR must also be 2.5 times longer than BC:

QR=2.5BC

BC=QR/2.5=18/2.5=7.2
