If x and y are positive numbers with x>y, show that a triangle with sides of lengths 2xy, x^2-y^2, and x^2+y^2 and is always

a right triangle?

Answer: 2xy

Step-by-step explanation: We know that x%5E2+%2B+y%5E2 must be the longest side of the triangle (it cannot be 2xy, I will demonstrate why afterwards). By the Pythagorean theorem,

. Therefore this is a right triangle.

The only "assumption" we had to make was that x%5E2+%2B+y%5E2+%3E+2xy, but this is easy to prove. By the AM-GM inequality, %28x%5E2+%2B+y%5E2%29%2F2+%3E=+sqrt%28x%5E2y%5E2%29+=+xy. Multiplying both sides by 2, x%5E2+%2B+y%5E2+%3E=+2xy. Equality occurs only when x+=+y, but this cannot be true, so x%5E2+%2B+y%5E2 is strictly greater than 2xy.

Part A.

Ashwin had a 4-cm cube.

volume of cube = side^3

volume = (4 cm)^3 = 64 cm^3

Ashwin has 64 small cubes.

We need to find the volumes of all prisms in Part A. Only prisms with at most 64 cm^3 volume can be the answer.

A. v = 2 * 4 * 7 = 28

B. v = 4 * 5 * 6 = 120

C. v = 5 * 5 * 4 = 100

D. v = 4 * 7 * 5 = 140

E. v = 3 * 5 * 4 = 60

Part A. answer: A, E

Part B.

Dora had a 5-cm cube.

volume of cube = side^3

volume = (5 cm)^3 = 125 cm^3

Dora has 125 small cubes.

We need to find the volumes of all prisms in Part B. Only prisms with at most 125 cm^3 volume can be the answer.

A. v = 3 * 3 * 8 = 72

B. v = 3 * 4 * 5 = 60

C. v = 6 * 6 * 4 = 144

D. v = 5 * 8 * 4 = 160

E. v = 3 * 5 * 4 = 60

Part B. answer: A, B, E

In the theory of learning, the rate at which a subject is memorized is assumed to be proportional to the amount that is left to
fiasKO [112]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the statement:

M: is total to be memorized

A(t): the amount memorized.

The key issue is translate this statement as equation "rate at which a subject is memorized is assumed to be proportional to the amount that is left to be memorized"

memorizing rate is \frac{dA(t)}{dt}.

the amount that is left to be memorized can be expressed as the total minus the amount memorized, that is M-A(t).

So we can write

\frac{dA(t)}{dt}=k(M-A(t))

And that would be the differential equation for A(t).

Alice and Claire go apple picking. When they are done, Claire has 3 times as many apples in her basket as Alice has in hers. (No
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

6 apples, 21 apples, 30 apples respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us first start by writing <u>expressions</u> so that we can easily solve for the problems below.

Let us suppose Alice is x. In this case, Claire has 3 times Alice's apples, so 3x.

1. If Alice has 2 apples (x), then Claire has 3x

3*2=<u>6 apples</u>

Claire has 6 apples.

2. If Alice has 7 apples (x), then Claire has 3x

3*7=<u>21 apples</u>

Claire has 21 apples.

<u />

3. If Alice has 10 apples (x), then Claire has 3x

3*10=<u>30 apples</u>

Claire has 30 apples.
