Explain how finding the nth element in a pattern is using deduction.

1 answer:

3 0

Deduction is a process of reasoning in which we explain the logicality of one statement with the help of others. Or in other words, several statements or premises help us to make a certain conclusion. In order to find the n-th element in some ordered set we should find and understand the relationship between the element, between the first and the second, between the second and the third...and so on. So , finding these relations we can conclude what is the n-th element and that is a process of deduction.

Find the value of x and y in parallelogram WXYZ.

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

x = 13, y = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, thus

x - 7 = 6 ( add 7 to both sides )

x = 13

and

2y - 6 = 8 ( add 6 to both sides )

2y = 14 ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = 7

help me with the Quadratic equation.... x2+ (p - 5) x + 2q = 0 has the roots −3 and 6. Find the value of P and the value of q.

nirvana33 [79]

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic equation is x² + (p - 5)x + 2q = 0.

By Vieta's Formula,

we have SOR = -b/a and POR = c/a.

=> (-3) + (6) = -(p - 5) and (-3)(6) = 2q.

=> 3 = 5 - p and -18 = 2q

Hence, p = 2 and q = -9.

Alternate Method:

We have (x + 3) and (x - 6) as factors of the quadratic equation x² + (p - 5)x + 2q = 0.

=> (x + 3)(x - 6) = x² - 3x - 18.

By Comparing Coefficients,

(p - 5) = -3 and 2q = 18.

Hence p = 2 and q = -9.

Answer:

= and $\leq$ and $\geq$

Step-by-step explanation:

Absolute value -9 is 9, but there is a negative sign so it is -9

-9=-9

Greater than or equal to works because of the equal sign.

Less than or equal to also works because of the equal sign.

Determine whether a figure with the given vertices is a rectangle using the Distance Formula.

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Yes; Opposite sides are congruent, and diagonals are congruent.

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$A(4, -7), B(4, -2), C(0, -2), D(0, -7)$

we know that

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

step 1

Find the length of the sides

Find the distance AB

substitute the values

$d=\sqrt{(-2+7)^{2}+(4-4)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(5)^{2}+(0)^{2}}$

$AB=5\ units$

Find the distance BC

substitute the values

$d=\sqrt{(-2+2)^{2}+(0-4)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(0)^{2}+(-4)^{2}}$

$BC=4\ units$

Find the distance CD

substitute the values

$d=\sqrt{(-7+2)^{2}+(0-0)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(-5)^{2}+(0)^{2}}$

$CD=5\ units$

Find the distance AD

substitute the values

$d=\sqrt{(-7+7)^{2}+(0-4)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(0)^{2}+(-4)^{2}}$

$AD=4\ units$

Compare the length sides

AB=CD

BC=AD

therefore

Opposite sides are congruent

step 2

Find the length of the diagonals

Find the distance AC

substitute the values

$d=\sqrt{(-2+7)^{2}+(0-4)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(5)^{2}+(-4)^{2}}$

$AC=\sqrt{41}\ units$

Find the distance BD

substitute the values

$d=\sqrt{(-7+2)^{2}+(0-4)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(-5)^{2}+(-4)^{2}}$

$BD=\sqrt{41}\ units$

Compare the length of the diagonals

AC=BD

therefore

Diagonals are congruent

The figure is a rectangle, because Opposite sides are congruent, and diagonals are congruent
