4.A counterexample can be used to show that a conjecture is false. Below are three
conjectures students made after visiting a zoo. Write a counterexample that shows that
conjecture is false.
a. There are always more elephants in a zoo than giraffes.
b. The oldest leatherback sea turtle in captivity is 33 years
old.
c. American bison are never over 6 feet tall.

Answers

Answer 1

Counterexamples are simply used to disprove conjectures.

(a) Elephants and Giraffes

This conjecture may or may not be true.

However, it can be disproved by the following counterexample

There are sometimes more elephants in a zoo than giraffes

The word "sometimes" disproves the original conjecture

(b) The oldest leatherback sea turtle

This conjecture is not true.

This is so because the oldest leatherback sea turtle in captivity is actually 400 years old.

So, the conjecture can be disproved by the following counterexample

The oldest leatherback sea turtle in captivity is 400 years old.

(c) American bison

This conjecture may or may not be true.

However, it can be disproved by the following counterexample

American bison are sometimes over 6 feet tall

The word "sometimes" disproves the original conjecture

Look at the graph below. What is the slope of the line?

A. - 1/2
B - 2
C. 1/2
D. 2

Answers

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We know two points on the line

(-1,1) and (3,3)

The slope of a line is given by

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

   = ( 3-1)/(3- -1)

    = (3-1) /(3+1)

    = ( 2/4

   = 1/2

can someone please explain this question

Answers

Sure thing!

So if we look at the function, it is an exponential, meaning that it is a number to the power of x
The graph can be described by the equation

y = a^x

If we look at the graph, one of the points on the line is (2, 16), the x value is 2 and the y value is 16

If we consider this along with the function for the graph, we can say that

16 = a^2

Just solve this for a and you’ll have your answer :)
So the answer is 15

a length of top is stretched between the top edge of a building and a stake in the ground the head of the stake is at ground level. the rope also touches a tree that is growing half way between the stake and the building. if the tree is 38 ft tall how tall is the building?

Answers

The relationship between the rope, the building, the tree and the ground is an illustration of similar triangles and equivalent ratios.

The building is 76ft tall

The height of the tree is given as:

[tex]Height = 38ft[/tex]

The position of the tree is halfway between the building and the stake.

From the figure, the rope touches the top of the building, and the top of the tree.

This means that: the height of the building is twice the height of the tree.

So, we have:

[tex]Building=2\times 38ft[/tex]

[tex]Building=76ft\\[/tex]

Hence, the building is 76ft tall

The equation had only one solution and the solution to the given equation is 1

Equations are expressions separated by an equality sign

Given the equation expressed as;

5x - 6 = -x - 2x + 2

Collect the like terms:

5x + x + 2x = 2 + 6

Simplifying the result;

8x =8

Divide both sides of the equation by 8 to have:

8x/8 = 8/8

The amount of milk in a carton is modeled by the equation y = 64 - 4x. The number of ounces of milk left
is represented by y. The number of servings of milk poured from the carton is represented by x.
4.) How many ounces of milk are in an unopened carton?
5.) How many ounces of milk are in each serving?

Answers

Answer:

-Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

4) When the carton is unopened the number of servings x = 0.

So there are 64-4(0) = 64 ounces in an unopened carton.

5) When all the milk has been poured out no. ounces left (y)  = 0 so

64 - 4x = 0

4x = 64

x = 16

So each serving contains 16 ounces of milk.

3/4 x-3 = -18
NO LINKS WHATSOEVER

Answers

Answer:

Add 3 to both sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 3 to both sides.

This is how you figure it out. Imagine you have a value you want to use for x on the left side, such as 5.

In other words, evaluate 3/4 x - 3 for x = 5

The left side turns into 3/4 × 5 - 3.

What order of operations would you use now on the left side.

1) Multiply 3/4 by 5

2) Subtract -3

To solve an equation, you do the opposite operations in the opposite order.

Since to evaluate the left side with a number for x, you end by subtracting 3, to solve the equation you start by adding 3. Then you divide by 3/4.

Answer: add 3 to both sides
