Prove or give a counterexample: Every positive integer can be expressed as the sum of three or fewer perfect squares. (A perfect square is an integer n for which there is an integer k with the property: n

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Statement is incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

Every positive integer cannot be expressed as the sum of three or fewer perfect squares.

Supposing the number 7 only squares less than are 0, 1  and   4

Clearly 7 can not be written using three or fewer of these numbers

It is proved

By taking Cube root of 7

[tex]\sqrt[3]{7}[/tex] = 1.912931183

Now By taking  

[tex]\sqrt{7}[/tex] = 2.64575131

So both values 1.912931183 and 2.64575131 are not positive integers.

Hence the statement is incorrect.

How long would 8 thousand trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion years be if typed out?

Answers

Answer:

100 digits

Step-by-step explanation:

One trillion is 10¹², so it adds 12 zeros.

8000 adds 4 digits.

8 trillions add 8·12 = 96 zeros.

So in total you have 96+4 = 100 digits

This number would also be called 8 googol, since 1 googol is 10¹⁰⁰

Each week, Mrs.Mack buys exactly 3 5/8 pounds of cheese for her mac-and-cheese recipe. She chooses from these kinds of cheese. Mrs.Mack buys as many packages as she needs— up to three packages of any kind. What packages of cheese (and how many of each kind) does Mrs.Mack buy? 7/8pounds of american cheese. 0.5 pounds of cheddar cheese. 0.2 pounds of swiss cheese. HELP PLEASE

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

3 packages of American (7/8 lb)2 packages of cheddar (1/2 lb)

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of cheese Mrs Mack needs is an odd number of eighths of a pound. So, she must buy an odd number of the 7/8 pound packages.

If she were to buy any 1/5 pound packages, she would have to buy a multiple of 5 of them so as to have an integral number of eighths. The only suitable multiple is 0.

If Mrs Mack buys 1 of the 7/8 pound packages, she cannot make up the difference with half-pound packages. She must buy 3 of the 7/8 pound packages, for a total of 2 5/8 pounds of American cheese. The remaining pound can be bought as 2 of the 1/2 pound packages.

To buy 3 5/8 pounds, Mrs Mack must purchase ...

  3 packages of American cheese (7/8 lb each)

  2 packages of Cheddar cheese (1/2 lb each)

An annual pass to a park costs $120. Use a percent model to find 200% of the full price of the annual pass.

200% of the full price is $____

Answers

Given:

An annual pass to a park costs $120.

To find:

The 200% of the full price using percent model.

Solution:

In the percent model,

100% = 1 box

It means 1 box represents park costs $120.

200% = 2 box

[tex]120+120=240[/tex]

It means 2 box represents park costs $240.

Therefore, 200% of the full price is $240.

What is the slops of this line? Enter your answer as a fraction in simplest term in the box.

Answers

The slope is 1/4 cause it goes up 1 and right 4 meaning slope=1/4

Answer:

It is 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

If you go from dot to dot on the line, starting with the first dot:

you go to the right 4 times and then up 1 to get to the next dot.

If you put that into a fraction it is [tex]\frac{rise}{run}[/tex] so going up (1) is ontop of going to the right (4), which is 1/4.

These two polygons are similar
y = [?]

Answers

Answer:

w = 9

x = 12

y = 5

z = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The corresponding sides of similar polygons are proportional.

Therefore:

[tex] \frac{w}{3} = \frac{x}{4} = \frac{15}{y} = \frac{9}{z} = \frac{6}{2} [/tex]

Solve for each variable as follows:

✔️[tex] \frac{w}{3} = \frac{6}{2} [/tex]

Multiply both sides by 3

[tex] w = \frac{6}{2} \times 3 [/tex]

[tex] w = 3 \times 3 [/tex]

[tex] w = 9 [/tex]

✔️[tex] \frac{x}{4} = \frac{6}{2} [/tex]

Multiply both sides by 4

[tex] x = \frac{6}{2} \times 4 [/tex]

[tex] x = 3 \times 4 [/tex]

[tex] x = 12 [/tex]

✔️[tex] \frac{15}{y} = \frac{6}{2} [/tex]

Cross multiply

[tex] y \times 6 = 2 \times 15 [/tex]

[tex] 6y = 30 [/tex]

Divide both sides by 6

[tex] y = 5 [/tex]

✔️[tex] \frac{9}{z} = \frac{6}{2} [/tex]

Cross multiply

[tex] z \times 6 = 2 \times 9 [/tex]

[tex] 6z = 18 [/tex]

Divide both sides by 6

[tex] z = 3 [/tex]

If the sun is approximately 1.5 x 1011 meters from Earth, what is the approximate distance from Earth to Mars?


It was supposed to be 10 to the 11 power but it didn’t do it. It out 1011

Answers

Answer:

The distance from Earth to Mars is 8×10¹¹ m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The speed of light is 3×10⁸ m/s. The sun is approximately 230,000,000,000 m from Mars. If the sun is approximately 1.5 x 10¹¹ meters from Earth, what is the approximate distance from Earth to Mars.

The sun is approximately 2.3 × 10¹¹ m from Mars.

The sun is approximately 1.5 x 10¹¹ m from Earth.

The distance between from Earth to Mars is :

d = 2.3 × 10¹¹ m - 1.5 x 10¹¹ m

= 8×10¹¹ m

Hence, the distance from Earth to Mars is 8×10¹¹ m.

What is the greatest possible error if Irina measured the weight of her dog as 13 pounds?

Answers

Answer:

0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Irina measured the weight of her dog to be 13 pounds.

The greatest possible error that could have to occur will be the maximum error.

Let assume that the 13th value obtained was rounded between the range of 12.5 → 13.49 to 13 pounds

Then;

The greatest possible error that could have to occur = 13.0 - 12.5 pounds

The greatest possible error that could have to occur = 0.5 pounds

How many yards long is a piece of fabric witha width of 5/8 yrd nd a area of 2 3/4 square yards?

Answers

Answer:

D. [tex] 4\frac{2}{5} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of fabrics = 2¾ square yards

Width of fabrics = ⅝ yard

Length of fabrics = x

Area = length * width

Therefore:

2¾ = ⅝*x

Change the mixed fraction to improper fraction

[tex] \frac{11}{4} = \frac{5x}{8} [/tex]

Cross multiply

[tex] 4*5x = 11*8 [/tex]

[tex] 20x = 88 [/tex]

Divide both sides by 20

[tex] \frac{20x}{20} = \frac{88}{20} [/tex]

[tex] x = \frac{22}{5} [/tex]

[tex] x = 4\frac{2}{5} [/tex]

[tex] length = 4\frac{2}{5} [/tex]
