Answer: It depends on what you're asking. If it can be equal, then yes. If it must be less, then no.

Step-by-step explanation:

Every composite number has a square root equal or less than its square root.

<span>You do need the slope. It's not obvious in "Standard Form". Ax + By = C ==> y = -(A/B)x + (C/B) There's your slope to compare. Find -A/B for each. 3x + 2y = 4 ==> Slope = -3/2 6x + 4y = 5 ==> Slope = -6/4 = -3/2 3x + y = 4 ==> Slope = -3 The top two examples COULD be parallel. If the constant is the same, that's a bit sneaky because they are really the SAME line. That's not really parallel.</span>

yawa3891 [41]

Multiply the number of choices for each position together. Three of the numbers can be repeated with the one (5) only being used once.

(4 possible choices) × (3 possible choices) × (3 possible choices) × (3 possible choices) = 4 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 108

Using 4 equal-width intervals, show that the trapezoidal rule is the average of the upper and lower sum estimates for the integr

prisoha [69]

Split up the interval [0, 2] into 4 subintervals, so that

$[0,2]=\left[0,\dfrac12\right]\cup\left[\dfrac12,1\right]\cup\left[1,\dfrac32\right]\cup\left[\dfrac32,2\right]$

Each subinterval has width $\dfrac{2-0}4=\dfrac12$ . The area of the trapezoid constructed on each subinterval is $\dfrac{f(x_i)+f(x_{i+1})}4$ , i.e. the average of the values of $x^2$ at both endpoints of the subinterval times 1/2 over each subinterval $[x_i,x_{i+1}]$ .

So,

$\displaystyle\int_0^2x^2\,\mathrm dx\approx\dfrac{0^2+\left(\frac12\right)^2}4+\dfrac{\left(\frac12\right)^2+1^2}4+\dfrac{1^2+\left(\frac32\right)^2}4+\dfrac{\left(\frac32\right)^2+2^2}4$

$=\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^4\frac{\left(\frac{i-1}2\right)^2+\left(\frac i2\right)^2}4=\frac{11}4$

Find the values of p and q such that 4x^2+12x=4(x+p)^2-q

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

p = 1.5 and q = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Expand the right side then compare the coefficients of like terms on both sides, that is

4(x + p)² - q ← expand (x + p)² using FOIL

= 4(x² + 2px + p²) - q ← distribute parenthesis

= 4x² + 8px + 4p² - q

Comparing coefficients of like terms on both sides

8p = 12 ( coefficients of x- terms ) ← divide both sides by 8

p = 1.5

4p² - q = 0 ( constant terms ), that is

4(1.5)² - q = 0

9 - q = 0 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

- q = - 9 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

q = 9
