<h2>
Answer:</h2><h2>The chance is 100 % since we have not seen it in the past three days.</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
The odds of seeing a black cat are 25% every day.
It also means that the possibility of seeing a black cat is once in 4 days, since 25%
Given, we have not seen one black cat in 3 days.
The chance of seeing a black cat on the 4th day = ?
= 100 % since we have not seen it in the past three days.
Answer:
Constructive Proof
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be a positive integer
x must be equal to sum of all positive integers exceeding it
i.e.
x = x + (x - 1) + ( x - 2) + ......... + 2 + 1
Equivalently,
x = ∑i (where i = 1 to x)
The property finite sum;
∑i (i = 1 to x) = x(x + 1)/2
So,
x = x(x + 1)/2 ------- Multiply both sides by 2
2 * x = 2 * x(x + 1)/2
2x = x(x + 1)
2x = x² + x ------- subtract 2x from both sides
2x - 2x = x² + x - 2x
0 = x² + x - 2x ----- Rearrange
x² + x - 2x = 0
x² - x = 0 ------ Factorise
x(x - 1) = 0
So,
x = 0 or x - 1 = 0
x = 0 or x = 1 + 0
x = 0 or x = 1
But x ≠ 0
So, x = 1
The statement is only true for x = 1
This makes sense because 1 is the only positive integer not exceeding 1
1 = 1
It is a Constructive Proof
A proof is constructive when we find an element for which the statement is true.
I'll do the first one to get you started
The equation y = x^2+16x+64 is the same as y = 1x^2+16x+64
Compare that to y = ax^2+bx+c and we see that
a = 1
b = 16
c = 64
Use the values of 'a' and b to get the value of h as shown below
h = -b/(2a)
h = -16/(2*1)
h = -8
This is the x coordinate of the vertex.
Plug this x value into the original equation to find the corresponding y value of the vertex.
y = x^2+16x+64
y = (-8)^2 + 16(-8) + 64
y = 0
Since the y coordinate of the vertex is 0, this means k = 0.
The vertex is (h,k) = (-8, 0)
---------------------
So we found that a = 1, h = -8 and k = 0
Therefore,
f(x) = a(x-h)^2 + k
f(x) = 1(x-(-8))^2 + 0
f(x) = (x+8)^2
is the vertex form
---------------------
<h3>Final answer to problem 1 is f(x) = (x+8)^2 </h3>
