17. Negative numbers are closed under addition.
True or false

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:  True

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

Explanation:

Picking any two negative numbers, then adding them, will result in some other negative number. This is why the set of negative numbers is closed under addition.

Examples:

-2 + (-3) = -5

-10 + (-14) = -24

-7 + (-9) = -16

This is because when you add two negatives, you're adding their positive counterparts. Going to the first example above, we would say 2+3 = 5 and then just make everything negative. There's no way to add two negative numbers, and get a positive result (and we can't get 0 either).

You can think of it in terms of money and debt. The -2 represents being 2 dollars in debt. Then adding on 3 more dollars of debt leads ultimately to 5 dollars overall in debt.

Answers

Answer:

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use this formula to find the sum of an arithmetic series

     Sn = n / 2 (a1 + an)

You need to find the number of terms in each series before using the formula

     Tn = a + (n - 1) d

a) 53 = 5 + (n - 1) 3

      n = 17

Sn = 17 / 2 (5 + 53)

    = 493

b) 98 = 7 + (n - 1) 7

      n = 14

Sn = 14 / 2 (7 + 98)

   = 735

       

c) -102 = 8 + (n - 1) -5

        n = 23

Sn = 23 / 2 (8 + (-102))

   = - 1081

d) 41/3 = 2/3 + (n - 1) 1

        n = 14

Sn = 14 / 2 (2/3 + 41/3)

    = 301 / 3 or 100 1/3  

Hope this helped! Best of luck <3

Given that x = 2 and y = 3, how much
less is the value of 3x2 – 2y than the
value of 3y2 – 2x?

Answers

Answer:

17

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate the 2 expressions by substituting x = 2 , y = 3 into them

3x² - 2y

= 3(2)² - 2(3)

= 3(4) - 6

= 12 - 6

= 6

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

3y² - 2x

= 3(3)² - 2(2)

= 3(9) - 4

= 27 - 4

= 23

Then 23 - 6 = 17

7. A kite in the shape of a square with a diagonal 32 cm and an isosceles triangle of base 8 cm and sides 6 cm each is to be made of three different shades as shown in Fig. 8.17. How much paper of each shade has been used in it?​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

diagonal  = 32 cm

Area of square = [tex]\dfrac{d^{2}}{2}[/tex]

                        [tex]=\dfrac{32*32}{2}\\\\=512 \ cm^{2}[/tex]

Diagonal separate the square into two equal triangles.

Area of upper triangle that is shaded black = area of lower triangle = 512/2

= 256 cm²

Isosceles triangle:

a = 6 cm  ; b = 6 cm c = 8cm

[tex]s = \dfrac{a+b+c}{2}\\\\=\dfrac{6+6+8}{2}\\\\=\dfrac{20}{2}\\\\=10\\\\s-a = 10 - 6 = 4 \ cm\\\\s-b = 10-6 = 4 \ cm\\\\c - c = 10 - 8 = 2 \ cm\\\\Area = \sqrt{s*(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}\\\\=\sqrt{10*4*4*2}\\\\=\sqrt{2 * 2 * 4 * 4 * 5}\\\\=4*2\sqrt{5}\\\\=8\sqrt{5}\\\\=8*2.24\\\\=17.92 \ cm^{2}[/tex]

Area of black shade paper = 256 + 17.92 =  273.92 cm²

Area of white shade paper = 256 cm²

Area of the isosceles triangle = s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)

The population of a municipality before 2 years was 60,000 and the rate of annual growth of population is 2%. If the numbers of in-migrants and out-migrants at the end of 2 years were 750 and 410 respectively and 620 people died within this time interval, find the present population of the municipality.​

Answers

Answer:

62,144

Step-by-step explanation:

60,000 x (1 + 2%)^2 : growth in 2 years

+ 750: in migrants

- 410: out migrants

- 620: died

Answer:

62,144

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]60,000 \times (1 + 2\%)^{2} [/tex]

➡️ [tex] = 62,424[/tex]

In-migrants:

➡️ [tex]750 - 410 = 340[/tex]

now:

[tex]62,424 + 340 - 620[/tex]

➡️ [tex] = 62,144[/tex]

So, the present of the municipality is 62,144

Step-by-step explanation:

Two rectangles are similar. The smaller has a length of 8 cm and an area of 40 cm.
If the width of the larger rectangle is 10 cm, find its area.

Answers

Answer:

160 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

If the two rectangles are similar, that means they have equal scale factors.  The smaller rectangle has length of 8 cm and area of 40 cm, which means the width is 5 cm.  

The width of the larger rectangle is 10 cm, which is double the width of the smaller, similar rectangle.  So, to find the length of the larger rectangle, multiply 8 x 2, which gives you 16 cm for the length, since the scale factor is 2.

Now, just find the area of the larger rectangle by doing length x width.  16cm x 10 cm = 160 cm²

Answer:

160 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Our strategy is to find the length of the larger rectangle so we can find the area. To find the length, we will rely on the fact the two rectangles are "similar": their sides are in equal proportions, or have the same "ratio."

We know that the smaller rectangle has a width of 5 cm because, when we substitute area and length into

A = lw

we get

40 = 8w

w = 5

when we divide both sides by 8.

Because of equal proportions:

Width : length of the smaller rectangle = Width : length of the larger rectangle

We can write an equation

5 / 8 = 10 / x

Cross multiply

5x = 80

x = 16

So the larger rectangle has a length of 16 cm and a width of 10 cm (given)

meaning the area is

16 * 10 = 160 cm^2
