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

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

Answers

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!

The deductions from Jennifer monthly pay are federal income tax (FIT) of $87, state income tax (SIT) of 2.5% of gross pay, city income tax (CIT) of 1.2% of gross, social security, and Medicare. Her monthly net pay is $3,982.22. Find Jennifer's monthly gross pay

Answers

Answer:

$4,225.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Jenifer had the following deductions from her monthly pay

Federal income tax of $87

State income tax of 2.5% of gross pay

City income tax of 1.2% of gross pay

Jennifer monthly pay is $3,982.22

Therefore jenifer monthly gross pay can be calculated as follows

Let x represent the gross pay

x = 3982.22 + 87 + 1.2/100x + 2.5/100x

x = 3982.22 + 87 + 0.012x + 0.025x

x =4069.22 + 0.037x

Collect the like terms

x - 0.037x = 4069.22

0.963x = 4069.22

Divide both sides by the coefficient of x

x = 4069.22/0.963

x = 4,225.6

Hence Jennifer monthly gross pay is $4,225.6

Find the distance between (8,-4,7) and (8,5,3)

Answers

Answer:

sqrt(97)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the x for both of the points are the same, we can reduce the problem to "find the distance between (-4, 7) and (5, 3)".

To do that, we can use the Pythagorean theorem, where (change in x)^2+(change in y)^2 = (distance)^2:

(5-(-4))^2+(3-7)^2=d^2

(9)^2+(-4)^2=d^2

81+16=d^2

97=d^2

d=sqrt(97).

These triangles are congruent by _____.

A. SAS
B. ASA
C. AAS
D. SSS

Answers

Answer:

ASA Postulate

Step-by-step explanation:

It's Angle-Side-Angle Postulate because you can see two clearly congruent angles, two clearly congruent sides attached to that angle, and the angle connected to that line is congruent to the other triangles corresponding angle because they're vertical angles.

Answer:

B. ASA

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the angles in which the triangles are connected are equal to one another because the lines continue and do not bend so that is your first angle, then we see a red line on both triangles indicating that the sides are equal. That is your side, and finally there is a red curve in both corners of the triangle indicating the angles are equal. Therefore the triangle is congruent by ASA.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

These are the answers because:

1) Whenever we multiply fractions, we have to multiply the numerator with the numerator and the denominator with the denominator.

2) In this case it would be:

1/2 x 2/5 = 1 x 2/2 x 5 = 2/10 = 1/5

3/4 x 5/9 = 3 x 5/4 x 9 = 15/36 = 5/12

Which problem solving strategy would be best to solve this problem? Four people are in line at the movie theater. Jennifer is ahead of Jeanie. John is not first or last in line. Jarett is directly in front of Jennifer. Name the order in which the people are standing in line. A. guess, check and revise B. compute or simplify C. work backwards D. write an equation

Answers

Answer:

C. work backwards

Step-by-step explanation:

Given from the first statement of the question that that four people are in line. This is the result of the question, so the strategy required would be the work backwards.

Jennifer is ahead of Jeanie implies that Jeanie is somewhere behind Jennifer.  Since John is neither the first or the last in the line, then he must be between Jeanie and Jennifer. And Jarett is directly in front of Jennifer, so that Jarett is the first in line. The arrangement goes thus:

                   Jeanie ⇒ John ⇒ Jennifer ⇒ Jarett

Answer:

The answer is C, work backwards.

Inequalities are mathematical expressions where neither side is equal. In inequality, as opposed to equations, we compare the two values. Less than (or less than and equal to), larger than (or greater or equal to), or not similar to signs are used in place of the equal sign in between.

As per the information in the question,

Let the number is x.

x is less than 7.

x < 7 and,

x is greater than 3,

In cross country, the team score is determined by the place each individual runner finishes. (For example, 1st place is one point, 16th place is 16 points, etc.) In their latest meet, the boys cross-country team scored 55 points.

Answers

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there were five rummers in the team;

Each runner finished one after the other

Total. Points scored =. 55

Let the positions of each runner be :

1sr runner = p

2nd runner =.p + 1

3rd runner =.p + 2

4th runner =.p + 3

5th runner =.p + 4

(1st + 2nd + 3rd + 4th +. 5th) runner = 55

(p + p + 1 + p + 2 + p + 3 + p + 4) = 55

5p + 10 = 55

5p = 55 - 10

5p = 45

p = 9

Hence,

1st runner = 9th

2nd runner = 9 + 1 = 10th

3rd runner = 9 + 2 = 11th

4th runner = 9 + 3 = 12th

5th runner = 9+ 4 = 13th
