Answer:

JL = 78

Step-by-step explanation:

The shorter segment is a midline, so is half the length of the longer one.

2(5x-16) = 4x +34

5x -16 = 2x +17 . . . . . divide by 2

3x = 33 . . . . . . . . . . add 16-2x

x = 11 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

Then segment JL is ...

JL = 4x +34 = 4(11) +34 = 44+34

JL = 78

Any number is divisible by 2 is also divisible by 6 find a counter example to show that conjecture is false

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To be divisible by 6, an even number must also be divisible by 3. Two of every three even numbers are <em>not</em> divisible by 3, so are not divisible by 6.

Question Category: Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring Select the correct answer. Find the solution(s) for x in the equatio

Novay_Z [31]

Answer: x = 4; x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The directions specify to solve by factoring

x^2 - 9x + 20 = 0

To factor, find two numbers that add to -9 and multiply to 20

-5 and -4 work

-5 + (-4) = -9

-5 * -4 = 20

(x - 4)(x - 5) = 0

x = 4, x =5

Solve the following recurrence relation: <br> <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=A_%7Bn%7D%3Da_%7Bn-1%7D%2Bn%3B%20a_%7B1%7D%20%3D

By iteratively substituting, we have

$a_n = a_{n-1} + n$

$a_{n-1} = a_{n-2} + (n - 1) \implies a_n = a_{n-2} + n + (n - 1)$

$a_{n-2} = a_{n-3} + (n - 2) \implies a_n = a_{n-3} + n + (n - 1) + (n - 2)$

and the pattern continues down to the first term $a_1=0$ ,

$a_n = a_{n - (n - 1)} + n + (n - 1) + (n - 2) + \cdots + (n - (n - 2))$

$\implies a_n = a_1 + \displaystyle \sum_{k=0}^{n-2} (n - k)$

$\implies a_n = \displaystyle n \sum_{k=0}^{n-2} 1 - \sum_{k=0}^{n-2} k$

Recall the formulas

$\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^N 1 = N$

$\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^N n = \frac{N(N+1)}2$

It follows that

$a_n = n (n - 2) - \dfrac{(n-2)(n-1)}2$

$\implies a_n = \dfrac12 n^2 + \dfrac12 n - 1$

$\implies \boxed{a_n = \dfrac{(n+2)(n-1)}2}$
