Answer:

(A) Always true

(B) Seldom true

Step-by-step explanation:

(A) Both sides of an equation can be multiplied by the same number without this action changing the solution of the equation.

Keyword here is "number".

Multiplying both sides of an equation by an equal quantity (same number) will result in same solution after solving for the unknown in the equation. This is because that numeric quantity can always be removed by dividing both sides of the equation by it or by a factor (or multiple) of it.

EXAMPLE:

For a linear equation, 4x - 6 = 15x

let's find the solution, in other words solve for the unknown value X.

4x - 15x = 6

-11x = 6

x = -6/11

Now multiply both sides of the equation by 3.

3(4x - 6) = 3(15x)

12x - 18 = 45x ___new equation

Solve for X

12x - 45x = 18

-33x = 18

x = -18/33

Reduce the fraction to its simplest form by looking for a number that can divide both numerator and denominator without remainder. In other words, think of a number that is a factor of 18 and a factor of 33.

That common factor or highest common factor (HCF) is 3.

Go ahead and reduce the fraction.

x will be reduced to -6/11

(B) Both sides of an inequality can seldom be multiplied by the same number, without such action changing the solution set of the equation.

Inequalities are more complex. Operational signs even change sometimes, in the course of finding the solution set of the inequality.

Sometimes, multiplying both sides of an inequality by a given numeric quantity will change its solution set and sometimes, it won't.

A shipment of 12 microwave ovens contains three defective units. A vending company has ordered four units, and because each has

statuscvo [17]

Answer:a) 54/55

b) 100/110

c) 99/110

Step-by-step explanation:

a)Probability of ordering 4= 9/12×3/11×2/10×1/9 = 54/11880

Probability of 4 good units= 4 × 54/11880

= 216/11880

1/55

1-(1/55) = 54/55

b)Probability of 2 good units= 2 × 54/(11880)

= 108/11880

= 1/110

1- (1/110)= 100/110

c) Probability of exactly 2 units not good= 1 -(100/110) =99/110

Prove that a triangle with the sides a - 1 cm to root under a

vivado [14]

Question is Incomplete, Complete question is given below.

Prove that a triangle with the sides (a − 1) cm, 2√a cm and (a + 1) cm is a right angled triangle.

Answer:

∆ABC is right angled triangle with right angle at B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Triangle having sides (a - 1) cm, 2√a and (a + 1) cm.

We need to prove that triangle is the right angled triangle.

Let the triangle be denoted by Δ ABC with side as;

AB = (a - 1) cm

BC = (2√ a) cm

CA = (a + 1) cm

Hence,

${AB}^2 = (a -1)^2$

Now We know that

$(a- b)^2 = a^2+b^2 - 2ab$

So;

${AB}^2= a^2 + 1^2 -2\times a \times1$

${AB}^2 = a^2 + 1 -2a$

Now;

${BC}^2 = (2\sqrt{a})^2= 4a$

Also;

${CA}^2 = (a + 1)^2$

Now We know that

$(a+ b)^2 = a^2+b^2 + 2ab$

${CA}^2= a^2 + 1^2 +2\times a \times1$

${CA}^2 = a^2 + 1 +2a$

${CA}^2 = AB^2 + BC^2$

[By Pythagoras theorem]

$a^2 + 1 +2a = a^2 + 1 - 2a + 4a\\\\a^2 + 1 +2a= a^2 + 1 +2a$

Hence, ${CA}^2 = AB^2 + BC^2$

Now In right angled triangle the sum of square of two sides of triangle is equal to square of the third side.

This proves that ∆ABC is right angled triangle with right angle at B.
