Prove that the natural number x is prime if and only if x>1 and there is no positive integer greater than 1 and less than or equal to [tex]\sqrt{x}[/tex] that divides x.

Answers

Answer 1

There are several ways to prove a mathematical statement. These ways include: by contradiction, by induction, contraposition, etc

How to prove the statement by contradiction

To prove the statement, we make use of proof by contradiction

From the question:

x is a composite number such that: x > 1

This means that 1 < a < x is a factor of x

This can be represented as:

[tex]x = a * b[/tex]

Where:

a  and b  are  positive  integers1 < a, b < x

Assume that b is less than or equal to a.

Also, let

[tex]b > \sqrt x[/tex]​

This means that:

[tex]\sqrt x < b \ge a[/tex]

The above becomes

[tex]\sqrt x < a[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]a > \sqrt x[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]x = a * b > \sqrt x * \sqrt x = x[/tex]

The above means that:

[tex]x > x[/tex]

The above inequality is a contradiction because, a number x cannot be greater than itself

This means that, the supposition is wrong.

Hence, the given statement has been proved by contradiction

The figure above shows that the shaded triangular region with a hypotenuse of 5 cm has been removed from a rectangular tile with dimensions x cm by y cm. Of the following which best approximates the area in square cm of the tile before the piece was removed

Answers

Check the picture below.

Mind you that we have four 30-60-90 triangles.

The area of given rectangle before the piece was removed is 65 cm² approximately.

What is area of rectangle?

The area of a rectangle (A) is the product of its length 'a' and width or breadth 'b'. So, Area of Rectangle = (a × b) square units.

In Δ DEF,

∠EDF + ∠DEF + ∠DFE = 180° (angle sum property)

30° + 90° + ∠DFE = 180°

∠DFE = 60°

[tex]cos F = \frac{EF}{FD}(\frac{base}{hypotenuse}\\ \\ cos(60) = \frac{5}{FD}\\ \\FD = 5 * 2= 10[/tex]

[tex]cos D = \frac{ED}{FD}(\frac{base}{hypotenuse}\\ \\ cos(30) = \frac{ED}{10}\\ \\ED = \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} * 10= 5\sqrt{3}[/tex]

In Δ AED,

∠AED + ∠EAD + ∠EDA = 180° ( angle sum property)

∠AED + 90° + 30°= 180°

∠AED = 60°

[tex]sinE = \frac{AD}{DE} (\frac{perpendicular}{hypotenuse}\\ \\sin(60) = \frac{AD}{5\sqrt{3} } \\\\AD= \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}*5\sqrt{3} \\\\AD = 7.5[/tex]

In Δ DFC,

∠FDC + ∠DCF + ∠DFC = 180° (angle sum property)

30° + 90° + ∠DFC = 180°

∠DFC = 60°

[tex]sinF = \frac{DC}{DF} \\\\sin(60) = \frac{DC}{10}\\ \\\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} *10 = DC\\\\DC = 5\sqrt{3}[/tex]

Area of rectangle = length * breadth = xy = AD * DC = [tex]7.5 * 5\sqrt{3} = 64.95[/tex]

x-2y+3z=-1
-3x+6y-9z=3
2x-4y+6z=-2

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

out of the first equation we get

x = 2y - 3z - 1

this we use in the second equation

-3(2y - 3z - 1) + 6y - 9z = 3

-6y + 9z + 3 + 6y - 9z = 3

0 = 0

this is the same equation as the first one, just multiplied by -3.

and we see the third equation is again the same one as the first just multiplied by 2.

so, there are infinite solutions.

this has not a single solution, as in the end this is just one equation with 3 variables.

x + 7y = 21
x + 4y = 15
Solve the simultaneous equations

Answers

Answer:

x = 7, y = 2

Explanation:

equations given:

x + 7y = 21

x + 4y = 15

make "x" the subject:

x + 7y = 21

x = 21 - 7y .........equation 1

x + 4y = 15

x = 15 - 4y .......equation 2

Solving both the equations simultaneously:

15 - 4y = 21 - 7y

-4y + 7y = 21 - 15

3y = 6

y = 6 ÷ 3

y = 2

If y is 2

Then x = 21 -7y;

x = 21 - 7(2)

x = 21 - 14

x = 7

x + 7y= 21

7 goes to RHS = X+ y = 21/7-3

x + 4y = 15

4 goes to RHS= x+y = 15/4 = 3.75

Bella has less than 240 minutes to spend assembling furniture each day. Today, she has spent 35.5 minutes assembling a chair. Now she will assemble x desks, each of which takes 45.5 minutes. What is the maximum number of desks that Bella can assemble?

Answers

Using an inequality, it is found that the maximum number of desks that Bella can assemble is of 4.

What is the inequality that represents the situation?

We consider that:

She has already spent 35.5 minutes assembling a chair.Then, she assembles x desks, each of which takes 45.5 minutes.She has less than 240 minutes to spend assembling furniture each day.

Hence:

[tex]35.5 + 45.5x < 240[/tex]

Then, solving the inequality:

[tex]x < \frac{240 - 35.5}{45.5}[/tex]

[tex]x < 4.49[/tex]

Considering the number of desks has to be an integer, maximum number of desks that Bella can assemble is of 4.

Find the root mean square of the set 1, 3, 4, 5 and 7

Answers

Exact Answer:   2*sqrt(5)

Approximate Answer:  4.4721

====================================================

Explanation:

Original set = {1,3,4,5,7}

Square each value to get {1,9,16,25,49}. This is the list of squares.

Add up those squares: 1+9+16+25+49 = 100

Next, divide that over n = 5 which is the number of items in the set

100/n = 100/5 = 20

The value 20 is the mean of the list of squares above.

Lastly, apply the square root to get sqrt(20) = sqrt(4*5) = sqrt(4)*sqrt(5) = 2*sqrt(5)

This approximates to roughly 4.4721

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

Side note: The term "root mean square" is often abbreviated to "RMS".

If we reversed the order of the three words, then we get "square mean root". In this reversed order, we see that the squaring operation is done first, then the mean next, and finally the square root is done last.

The value of the root mean square which is having sets of 1, 3, 4, 5, and 7 is 4.472.

What is a root mean square (RMS)?

It is the square root of the mean square, which is the arithmetic mean of the squares of the group of values.

The formula of root mean square is given as

[tex]\rm X_{RMS} = \sqrt{\dfrac{x_1^2+x_2^2+x_3^2+....+x_n^2}{N}}[/tex]

N be the total number of observations.

The sets 1, 3, 4, 5, and 7.

Then the root mean square will be

[tex]\rm X_{RMS} = \sqrt{\dfrac{1^2+3^2+4^2+5^2+7^2}{5}}\\\\X_{RMS} = \sqrt{\dfrac{1+9+16+25+49}{5}}\\\\X_{RMS} = \sqrt{\dfrac{100}{5}}\\\\X_{RMS} = \sqrt{20}\\\\X_{RMS} = 4.472[/tex]

Yes it's a function as domains have unique range

Answer:

Domain = Planet

Range = number of solar congress reps

Function = YES (many-to-one)

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain : input values ⇒ planet

Range : output value ⇒ number of solar congress reps

Function : A function relates each element of a set with exactly one element of another set (possibly the same set).

One-to-many is not a function.

Many-to-one is a function.

From inspection, we can see that every element in the domain is related to exactly one element in the range.  Both Venus and Neptune are related to 18.  So this is a many-to-one function.
