What is the effect of multiplying both sides of an inequality by a negative number? Explain and give an example.

Mathematics

Answer: You would swap the ineqaulity

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying or dividing both sides by a negative number reverses the inequality. This means < changes to >, and vice versa. For example, given that 5 < 8 we can multiply both sides by 6 to obtain 30 < 48 which is still true.

Please help me with this
Allisa [31]

Answer:

neither

Step-by-step explanation:

find the slopes of FG and HJ using the slope formula (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

FG: (-1+3)/(-2-1)=2/-3=-2/3

HJ: (3-0)/(6-5)=3/1=3

perpendicular lines have slopes that are the negative reciprocal of each other. -2/3's negative reciprocal is 3/2 which isn't 3. the lines aren't parallel or perpendicular

The nth term of a sequence is 3n²-1
Anarel [89]

Answer: The number is 26.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

The nth term of a sequence is 3n²-1

The nth term of a different sequence is 30–n²

We want to find a number that belongs to both sequences (it is not necessarily for the same value of n) then we can use n in one term (first one), and m in the other (second one), such that n and m must be integer numbers.

we get:

3n²- 1 =  30–m²

Notice that as n increases, the terms of the first sequence also increase.

And as n increases, the terms of the second sequence decrease.

One way to solve this, is to give different values to m (m = 1, m = 2, etc) and see if we can find an integer value for n.

if m = 1, then:

3n²- 1 =  30–1²

3n²- 1 = 29

3n² = 30

n² = 30/3 = 10

n² = 10

There is no integer n such that n² = 10

now let's try with m = 2, then:

3n²- 1 =  30–2² = 30 - 4

3n²- 1 = 26

3n² = 26 + 1 = 27

n² = 27/3 = 9

n² = 9

n = √9 = 3

So here we have m = 2, and n = 3, both integers as we wanted, so we just found the term that belongs to both sequences.

the number is:

3*(3)² - 1 = 26

30 - 2² = 26

The number that belongs to both sequences is 26.
