For each statement, write what would be assumed and what would be proven in a proof by contrapositive of the statement. Then write what would be assumed and what would be proven in a proof by contradiction of the statement.

a. If x and y are a pair of consecutive integers, then x and y have opposite parity.
b. For all integers n, if n² is odd, then n is also odd.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a)

Given Statement - If x and y are a pair of consecutive integers, then x and y have opposite parity.

Proof by Contrapositive:

Assumed statement: Suppose that integers x and y do not have opposite parity.

Proven Statement: x and y are not a pair of consecutive integers.

Proof -

x = 2u₁ , y = 2u₂

Then

(x, x+1) = (2u₁ , 2u₁ + 1) = (Even, odd)

If y = 2u₁ + 1

Not possible

⇒x and y are not a pair of consecutive integers.

Hence proved.

Proof by Contradiction:

Assumed statement: Suppose x and y are not a pair of consecutive integers.

Proven Statement: Suppose x and y do not have opposite parity.

Proof -

If x and y are not a pair of consecutive integers.

⇒ either x and y are odd or even

If x and y are odd

⇒x and y have same parity

Contradiction

If x and y are even

⇒x and y have same parity

Contradiction

(b)

Proof by Contrapositive:

Assumed statement: Let n be an integer such that n is not odd (i.e. n is an even integer)

Proven Statement: n² is not odd (i.e n² is even)

Proof -

Let n is even

⇒n = 2m

⇒n² = (2m)² = 4m²

⇒n² is even

Hence proved.

Proof by Contradiction:

Assumed statement: Let n be an integer such that n² be odd.

Proven Statement:  suppose that n is not odd (i.e n is even)

Proof -

Let n² is odd

⇒n² is even

⇒n² = 2m

⇒2 | n²

⇒2 | n

⇒n = 2x

⇒ n is even

Contradiction

What is the probability that a value picked at random from the standard normal distribution will be between -1.96 and 1.96?

Answers

Answer:

P( -1.96 ≤ Z≤ 1.96) = 0.95

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:-

Given that the z -scores -1.96 and 1.96

we have to find   P( -1.96 ≤ Z≤ 1.96)

P( -1.96 ≤ Z≤ 1.96) = |A(1.96)+A(-1.96)|

                              = |A(1.96)+A(-1.96|   (∵A(-Z) = A(Z))

                            =  0.4750+0.4750

                            = 2×0.4750

                           = 0.95

The probability lies between  -1.96 to 1.96

P( -1.96 ≤ Z≤ 1.96) = 0.95

What is exponential function?

The exponential function is a mathematical function denoted by f(x)=\exp or e^{x}. Unless otherwise specified, the term generally refers to the positive-valued function of a real variable, although it can be extended to the complex numbers or generalized to other mathematical objects like matrices or Lie algebras.

here, we have,

given that,

the approximate population P of a bacteria colony is given by

P = 15t ^ (5/3)

where t is the number of days start of the experiment .

now,

the population of the colony on the 8th day is,

15×8^(5/3)

= 15×∛8^5 ]

= 15×2^5

= 15×32

= 480

hence, Population after 8 days is 480.

The two numbers are 6 and 20 respectively.

What are word problems?

A word problem is a few sentences describing a 'real-life' scenario where a problem needs to be solved by way of a mathematical calculation.

Given is that one number is 10 less than 5 times the second number. Their sum is 26.

Let the numbers be [x] and [y] repsectively. Then, we can write that -

x + y = 26        ..... Eq[1]

x = 5y - 10        ..... Eq[2]

We can write -

x + y = 26

5y - 10 + y = 26

6y = 36

y = 6

Then, we can write [x] as -

x = 5 x 6 - 10 = 30 - 10 = 20

x = 20

Therefore, the two numbers are 6 and 20 respectively.

Answer:

90

Step-by-step explanation:

She scored 50% more so scored 1.5x tyler

1.5 * 60 = 90

Answer:

90

Step-by-step explanation:

so for this, all we have to do is add %50 of the first score to the second one, first lets find out what %50 of that score is

%50 of 60 = 30 (because %50 is half of something)

next, we add that new amount to the first score

60 + 30 = 90

so 90 is %50 more then 60, or 90 is %150 of 60

factor 1/8 out of 1/8x-49/8​

Answers

Answer:

1/8(x - 49)

Step-by-step explanation:

When we factor out something, we are basically finding common factors from multiple terms to take out. Example:

ab + ac; factored out: a(b + c)

If we want to factor out 1/8 from 1/8x - 49/8, we simply divide the two terms by 1/8.

[tex]\frac{1/8}{1/8x}[/tex] The 1/8 cancel out giving us x so:

1/8(x - __)

The next term,

[tex]\frac{49/8}{1/8}[/tex]

When two fractions divide, you flip the bottom one and multiply them both,

[tex]\frac{49}{8} *\frac{8}{1}[/tex]

giving us 49.

The answer is: 1/8(x - 49)

Valerie and Seth are measuring the outside walls of a house using two different instruments. They want to find the house's perimeter. Valeria measured the north and east sides while Seth measured the west and south sides. Their results are listed in the table.

Part A
Use decimal numbers to write an expression that represents the length of the walls that Valerie measured.

Part B
Now use decimal numbers to write an expression that represents the length of the wall that Seth measured.

Part C
Write an expression for the perimeter of the house. Use the work you completed in part A & B to guide you.

Part D
Simplify the expression from part C to find the perimeter of the house in feet.

Part E
Suppose that you evaluate the expression for Valerie's wall and the expression for Seth's wall separately. Then you add the two expressions together. Will you get the same answer that you arrived at in part D? Why or why not? Show your work to prove your case.​

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP I REALLY NEED HELP IN THIS WORK, THANK YOU.

Answers

Answer:

A)

Valerie measured 4 walls at 2 1/2 feet. In decimal form, each wall is 2.5 feet long. So, the total length of the 4 walls is (2.5 × 4) feet.

Valerie measured 3 walls at 21 1/4 feet. In decimal form, each wall is 21.25 feet long. So, the total length of the 3 walls is (21.25 × 3) feet.

Valerie measured 1 wall at 32 feet.

The expression that gives the total length of the walls that Valerie measured is (2.5 × 4) + (21.25 × 3) + 32.

B)

Seth measured 1 wall at 3.5 feet.

Seth measured 2 walls at 22.75 feet. So, the total length of the 2 walls is (22.75 × 2) feet.

Seth measured 1 wall at 58 feet.

The expression that gives the total length of the walls that Seth measured is 3.5 + (22.75 × 2) + 58.

C)

The total length of Valerie’s walls is (2.5 × 4) + (21.25 × 3) + 32.

The total length of Seth’s walls is 3.5 + (22.75 × 2) + 58.

To find the expression for the perimeter of the house, add Valerie’s expression to Seth’s:

(2.5 × 4) + (21.25 × 3) + 32 + 3.5 + (22.75 × 2) + 58.

D)

(2.5 × 4) + (21.25 × 3) + 32 + 3.5 + (22.75 × 2) + 58

= 10 + 63.75 + 32 + 3.5 + 45.5 + 58

= 212.75

The perimeter of the house is 212.75 feet.

E)

The total length of Valerie’s walls is 105.75 feet:

(2.5 × 4) + (21.25 × 3) + 32 = 10 + 63.75 + 32 = 105.75 feet.

The total length of Seth’s walls is 107 feet:

3.5 + (22.75 × 2) + 58 = 3.5 + 45.5 + 58 = 107 feet.

The sum of 105.75 feet and 107 feet is 212.75 feet. The Commutative Property allows me to add numbers in any order. This is why the answers in parts D and E match.
