If k is an integer, what is
k + 1
/2
!
? Why?

Answers

Answer 1

If [tex]k\in\mathbb{Z}[/tex] than [tex]k+1\in\mathbb{Z}[/tex] however any [tex]\mathbb{Z}[/tex] divided by 2 is in [tex]\mathbb{Q}[/tex].

But it is not so simple.

If [tex]k[/tex] is odd then [tex]k+1[/tex] is even but when even number is divided by 2, you get an odd number which is in [tex]\mathbb{Z}[/tex].

However if [tex]k[/tex] is even then [tex]k+1[/tex] is odd and when we divide that by 2, you get a number like for example [tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex] which is not in [tex]\mathbb{Z}[/tex] but rather inside [tex]\mathbb{Q}[/tex]. There are fortunately no irrational numbers.

There is also a problem with zero, zero is neither odd nor even but still an integer. If your [tex]k[/tex] happens to be -1, [tex]k+1=0[/tex], and zero divided by 2 is still just 0 which is in [tex]\mathbb{Z}[/tex].

So to sum up,

If [tex]k[/tex] is odd and not -1, then [tex]\frac{k+1}{2}\in\mathbb{Z}[/tex].

Or to put it in math [tex]\forall k\in\mathrm{odd}-\{-1\}\cup\{0\}\implies\frac{k+1}{2}\in\mathbb{Z}[/tex].

If [tex]k[/tex] is even or -1, then [tex]\frac{k+1}{2}\in\mathbb{Q}[/tex].

Or to put it in math [tex]\forall k\in\mathrm{even}\cup \{-1\}\implies\frac{k+1}{2}\in\mathbb{Q}[/tex].

Notes:

[tex]\mathbb{Z}[/tex] is a set of integers.

[tex]\mathbb{Q}[/tex] is a set of rational numbers.

[tex]\mathbb{Z}\subset\mathbb{Q}[/tex] means integers are a subset of rational numbers, that is, every integer is a also a fraction, however not every fraction is an integer.

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

  the correct answer is 47

Step-by-step explanation:

You are correct down to the part where you're adding the numbers.

  50 -10 +7 = 40 +7 = 47

__

The sign of the 7 is positive. The minus sign only applies to 10.

_____

Additional comment

Here, 50 -10 is an easy sum. Sometimes it is easier to add all the positive numbers, then subtract the sum of the negative numbers. Here, that would look like ...

  (50 +7) -(10) = 57 -10 = 47

A polynomial function h(x) has a zero of x = 2 – 5i with a multiplicity of one. Certain values of h(x) are given in the following table.

x h(x)
–5 0
–2 3
–1 –1
1 2
4 0
7 6
10 5

If every real x-intercept of h(x) is shown in the table and each has a multiplicity of one, what is the degree of h(x)?
A. 2
B. 3
C. 4
D. 5

Answers

The answer is 4! So c

Using function concepts, it is found that the degree of the function is: 4, option C.

----------------------------------------

The x-intercepts of a function are the values of the function for which the output is zero.The degree of a function is the sum of the multiplicities of the x-intercepts of the function.If a function has a complex root, it means that the conjugate is also a root.

----------------------------------------

When [tex]x = -5, h(x) = 0[/tex], thus, x = -5 is one x-intercept.When [tex]x = 4, h(x) = 0[/tex], thus, x = 4 is one x-intercept.There is also a x-intercept(zero) at [tex]x = 2 - 5i[/tex]. There will also be a x-intercept at the conjugate, which is [tex]x = 2 + 5i[/tex].Thus, there are 4 x-intercepts, all with multiplicity 1, which means that the degree of h(x) is 4, option C.

Answers

Answer:

f(x) | 5 | - 1 | - 3 | - 1 | 5 |

Step-by-step explanation:

So first you'll say "-2" into function

Replace x with negative 2

f(x) =2(-2) ^2 - 3

8 - 3 = 5

Secondly place "- 1" into function

Replace x with negative 1

f(x) = 2(-1)^2 - 3

2 - 3 = - 1

Thirdly place "0" into function

Replace x with 0

f(x) = 2(0)^2-3

0 - 3 = - 3

Then place "1" into function

Replace x with 1

f(x) = 2(1)^2 - 3

2 - 3 = - 1

Lastly place "2" into function

Replace x with 2

f(x) = 2(2)^2 - 3

8 - 3 = 5

3x- y

=> 3(-1)-3 = -3-3= -6

Answer:

3x – y = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve on the problem above, you can do it by substitution and elimination of the two equations.

3x + 2y = 3

➡️ 3x + 2.3 = 3

➡️ 3x + 6 = 3

➡️ 3x = -3

➡️ x = -1

The width of the piece of cardboard is the sum of the side lengths of the prism: 7 cm + 9 cm + 9 cm = 25 cm.

The area of the cardboard is the product of its height and width.

Find the equation of the line that is parallel to y = 4 - 3x and passes through the

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y=-3x+8[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

What we need to know:

Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form: [tex]y=mx+b[/tex] where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis)Parallel lines always have the same slope

1) Determine the slope (m)

[tex]y = 4 - 3x\\y = -3x+4[/tex]

Given this equation, we can identify the slope to be -3 since it's in the place of m in [tex]y=mx+b[/tex].

Because parallel lines have the same slope, -3 is therefore the slope of the line we're currently solving for. Plug this into [tex]y=mx+b[/tex]:

[tex]y=-3x+b[/tex]

2) Determine the y-intercept (b)

[tex]y=-3x+b[/tex]

Plug in the given point (1,5) and solve for b:

[tex]5=-3(1)+b\\5=-3+b\\8=b[/tex]

Therefore, the y-intercept is 8. Plug this back into [tex]y=-3x+b[/tex]:

[tex]y=-3x+8[/tex]

if 5-3(2a+1)=-4a+10, what is the value of a+2​

Answers

Answer:

-2

BRAINLIEST, PLEASE!

Step-by-step explanation:

5 - 3(2a + 1) = -4a + 10

5 - 6a - 3 = -4a + 10

2 - 6a = -4a + 10

-2a = 8

a = -4

-4 + 2 = -2

Answer:

a+2 = -4+2 = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

5-3(2a+1)=-4a+10

Distribute

5 - 6a -3 = -4a +10

Combine like terms

-6a +2 = -4a +10

Add 6a to each side

-6a+2 +6a = -4a+6a +10

2 = 2a+10

Subtract 10 from each side

2-10 =2a+10-10

m = slope

[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{4-7}{-6-3}[/tex]

b. What grades can she expect if she works 10 hours each week?

What advice would you give Maria if she were eaming $50 each week and making Ds?

a

c.

Answers

Opportunity cost is the cost of the alternative forgone;

The cost of Maria spending more time on her studies is the wages from working in the kitchen which she does not earn and vice versa

The correct values are as follows:

a. The maximum wages Maria could earn is $130

b. The grades she can expect if she works 10 hours each week is grade C

c. She should make a decision to either quit school or quit her job

d. To become a pharmacists, she should study more and quit her job

To become a restaurant owner/manager, she should develop her restaurant/managerial skills more at the

The reason for the above responses are as follows:

The known parameters are:

The number of hours of free time Maria has each day = 4 hours

The activities Maria can use the four hours for = Studying or working at the Wang's Chinese kitchen

The amount she can earn per hour working = $6.50 per hour

Question a. Required;

The maximum wages Maria could earn working 5 days a week

Solution;

Taking the each unit on the horizontal axis of the attached graph as one day. There are 5 units which equal 5 days

if she works for the five days, she spends all the available time working and she earns maximum wage on the graph which is $130The maximum wages Maria could earn if she works five days a week = $130

b. Required:

The grade she can expect by working 10 hours a week

Solution:

The number of hours available each week = 5 × 4 hours = 20 hours

If she works 10 hours each week, she spends the remaining 10 hours studying which is half of her available time

The grades she can expect by working 10 hours each week (half of her spare time) is giving by the value of the graph at the middle of the of half the length of the horizontal axis values which is grade C

c. Required:

The advice for Maria if she is earning $50 each week and is making Ds

Solution:

If Maria is earning $50 each week, the number of days she is working = One day

The number of days she spends reading = 4 days

In order to improve her grades, she should increase the number of days she spends reading, and therefore, she should spend more than 4 days or the 5 days reading and she should stop working and forgo the $50 for a grade C

Therefore;

Maria has to make a decision to either quit school or quit her job

d. Part of the question that can be included as seen from a similar question online is as follows;

The advice for her if she is interested in becoming a pharmacists or a restaurant owner/manager

If she is interested in becoming a pharmacist, she should stop working and focus on her studies; Quit her job

If she interested in becoming a restaurant owner or manager, she should spend less time reading and spend much of her time at the Wang's Chinese kitchen to develop are restaurant business skills;
