a and b are positive integers and a+b=2009!

what is the amount of ordered pairs of (a, b)?

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]2000 \: and \: 9.[/tex]

[tex]it \: could \: be \: the \: sum \: of \: any \: two \: \\ positive \: integers \: so \: they \: are : \\ 2000 \: and \: 9[/tex]

Answer 2

Let's consider a much smaller value and work our way up to the factorial 2009!

Start with a+b = 2. The value 2 is the smallest right hand side possible since a > 0 and b > 0, so a = b = 1 is the smallest a,b possible.

The only solution to a+b = 2 is a = b = 1 as mentioned.

----------

Now move onto a+b = 3. We have two solutions:

a = 1, b = 2

a = 2, b = 1

-----------

Now move onto a+b = 4. We have three solutions

a = 1, b = 3

a = 2, b = 2

a = 3, b = 1

Note how 'a' counts up while b counts down. I have 'a' starting at the smallest value, and b is set to add with 'a', getting to the right hand side.

So 'a' counts up to 3, while b counts down from 3.

We cannot reach 4 since 0 is not allowed for a or b.

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

The conjecture is that a+b = k has k-1 positive integer solutions. A simple proof of this is to list out all solutions like so

a = 1, b = k-1

a = 2, b = k-2

a = 3, b = k-3

....

a = k-3, b = 3

a = k-2, b = 2

a = k-1, b = 1

Where k > 2

Going from 1 to k-1 is exactly k-1 items. It's similar to how {1,2,3,..,m} has m different integers in it. Replace m with k-1 and you have the same idea.

This confirms there are k-1 solutions listed above.

The last step is to simply replace k with 2009! and we have 2009! - 1 different ordered pair solutions

Since the factorial 2009! is so massive, it's best to not expand this out using a calculator. Many calculators would produce "overflow", or similar, if you tried to compute the factorial 2009!

Why is it that when comparing a squares area with a rectangles area, with the SAME PERIMETER, that the square has a greater area?

Answers

s = side length of square

4s = perimeter of square

L = length of rectangle

W = width of rectangle

P = 2L+2W = perimeter of rectangle

4s = 2L+2W .... since we want the perimeters the same

4s = 2(L+W)

s = 0.5(L+W)

s^2 = (0.5(L+W))^2 ... square both sides

s^2 = 0.25(L+W)^2

The last equation shows the area of the square, s^2, in terms of L and W. This way we can connect the square to the rectangle.

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

The area of the rectangle is LW

Let's subtract this from the area of the square and see what we get

A = area of square = s^2

B = area of rectangle = LW

C = difference in area

C = A - B

C = s^2 - LW

C = 0.25(L+W)^2 - LW

C = 0.25(L^2+2LW+W^2) - LW

C = 0.25L^2+0.5LW+0.25W^2-LW

C = 0.25L^2-0.5LW+0.25W^2

C = 0.25(L^2-2LW+W^2)

C = 0.25(L-W)^2

Regardless of what we pick for L and W, the expression (L-W)^2 is always positive. Squaring a negative number leads to a positive result.

So C is always positive as long as [tex]L \ne W[/tex]

If C > 0, and C = A - B, then

C > 0

A-B > 0 .... replace C with A-B

A > B .... add B to both sides

This shows the square area is always larger than the rectangle.

Again this only works if L and W are different values. If L = W, then the argument falls apart because the rectangle becomes the square.

We make [tex]L \ne W[/tex] to have a nonsquare rectangle.

A line passes through the point (-6,6) and has a slope of 3/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

y=3/2+15

Step-by-step explanation:

Write an equation for the line that passes through (2,5) and (6,7)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y=\frac{1}{2}x+4[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope of the line first using the slope formula:

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

Substitute the two given points into this formula.

[tex]\frac{7-5}{6-2} =\frac{2}{4} =\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Now that you have a slope and a point that the line passes through, you can use the point-slope formula to find the equation of the line.

Point-slope formula:

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

Substitute m = 1/2 for the slope and one of the points; I'm going to use (2, 5).

[tex]y-(5)=\frac{1}{2} (x-(2))[/tex]

Simplify the equation so it's easier to read.

[tex]y-5=\frac{1}{2} (x-2)[/tex]

Distribute 1/2 inside the parentheses.

[tex]y-5=\frac{1}{2}x-1[/tex]

Add 5 both sides of the equation.

[tex]y=\frac{1}{2}x+4[/tex]

Answer:

The slope is the change in y over the change in x.

(7-5) / (6-2) = 2 / 4 = 1 / 2

In y = mx + b, we know y, m, and x. Now solve for b:

Let's use the point (2, 5).

5 = (1/2)(2) + b

5= 1 + b

b = 4

Now put it together:

y = (1/2)x + 4

Answer:116

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, a rhombus will have equal opposite angles.

Also by definition, the two angles on the same side of a rhombus are supplementary, or add up to 180 degrees.

Using this, we can make the equation 2c-12+c=180, 3c-12=180, 3c=192, and c =64

Now that we have found out c is 64, we plug it into the angle 2c-12 to get

2*64-12=116.

So again by definition, angle J will be 116 degrees since its an opposite angle.

Let ddd be the number of kilograms of dark chocolate she buys and mmm be the number of kilograms of milk chocolate she buys.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

ATQ,

Let d be the number of kilograms of dark chocolate she buys and m be the number of kilograms of milk chocolate she buys.

She needs to buy 120 kg of chocolate in total for her next order, and her recipe calls for twice the amount of dark chocolate as milk chocolate.

So,

m = 2d .....(1)

m + d = 120 ...(2)

We can also solve the above equations,

Put m = 2d in equation (2)

2d + d = 120

3d=120

d = 40

Put d = 40 in equation (1)

m = 2(40)

m = 80

Hence, she will need 40 kg of dark chocolate and 80 kg of milk chocolate.

Answer:

d+m=120

The values of m∠2, m∠4 and m∠6 are 60°, 150° and 90° respectively.

What is an angle?

An angle is formed from the intersection of two or more lines. Angles less than 90 degrees are called acute angles, angles greater than 90° are called obtuse angles while angles with a measure of 90° are called right angles.

From the diagram:

m∠1 + m∠4 = 180° (sum of angles in a straight line)

30 + m∠4 = 180°

m∠4 = 150°

m∠2 + m∠5 = 180° (sum of angles in a straight line)

120 + m∠2 = 180°

m∠2 = 60°

m∠1 + m∠2 + m∠3 = 180° (sum of angles in a triangle)

30 + 60 +  m∠3 = 180°

m∠3 = 90

m∠3 + m∠6 = 180° (sum of angles in a straight line)

90 + m∠6 = 180°

m∠6 = 90°

The values of m∠2, m∠4 and m∠6 are 60°, 150° and 90° respectively.

What is the range of the function graphed below?


Answers

Answer:

Range: [tex]y\in[-4,0)\cup[2,+\infty)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Range of a Function

Given a real function f(x), the Range of f is the set of all the values the function can take when x varies within the domain of f.

If we have the graph of the function, a practical rule can be used to find the Range. Imagine a horizontal rule moving from minus infinity to plus infinity. If that rule touches the graph of the function, the vertical height or y-value belongs to the range.

Consider the function provided in the image. If our horizontal rule comes from minus infinity, it won't touch the graph until it reaches the value y=-4. Note the endpoint has a filled dot, meaning the point belongs to the function. The range starts from -4.

Going up in values of y, we touch the function until y=0. But that endpoint is marked with an empty dot, so that point does not belong to the function.

The first interval of the range is [-4,0)

Moving up the rule, we touch the function again when y=2 (included) and we note the function continues to go up to plus infinity (signaled with the arrow). Thus, the second interval is [2,+∞).

The range of f is the union of both intervals:

Range: [tex]y\in[-4,0)\cup[2,+\infty)[/tex]
