Given $m\geq 2$, denote by $b^{-1}$ the inverse of $b\pmod{m}$. That is, $b^{-1}$ is the residue for which $bb^{-1}\equiv 1\pmod{m}$. Sadie wonders if $(a+b)^{-1}$ is always congruent to $a^{-1}+b^{-1}$ (modulo $m$). She tries the example $a=2$, $b=3$, and $m=7$. Let $L$ be the residue of $(2+3)^{-1}\pmod{7}$, and let $R$ be the residue of $2^{-1}+3^{-1}\pmod{7}$, where $L$ and $R$ are integers from $0$ to $6$ (inclusive). Find $L-R$.

Answers

Answer 1

[tex](2+3)^{-1}\equiv5^{-1}\pmod7[/tex] is the number L such that

[tex]5L\equiv1\pmod7[/tex]

Consider the first 7 multiples of 5:

5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35

Taken mod 7, these are equivalent to

5, 3, 1, 6, 4, 2, 0

This tells us that 3 is the inverse of 5 mod 7, so L = 3.

Similarly, compute the inverses modulo 7 of 2 and 3:

[tex]2a\equiv1\pmod7\implies a\equiv4\pmod7[/tex]

since 2*4 = 8, whose residue is 1 mod 7;

[tex]3b\equiv1\pmod7\implies b\equiv5\pmod7[/tex]

which we got for free by finding the inverse of 5 earlier. So

[tex]2^{-1}+3^{-1}\equiv4+5\equiv9\equiv2\pmod7[/tex]

and so R = 2.

Then L - R = 1.

Select the correct answer. Which equation represents a line that is perpendicular to line FG?

Answers

Answer:

Hey there!

Equation of Line FG: [tex]y=\frac{1}{2} x+3.5[/tex], because the slope (rise over run) is 2 and we see that the y intercept is 3.5.

Equation to a Line Perpendicular to FG: [tex]y=-2x-3\\[/tex], because the equations of perpendicular lines have the same (but could also be different y-intercepts), and opposite reciprocal slopes.

Let me know if this helps :)

Answer:

C)

Step-by-step explanation:

f(-5,1) & G(9,8)

Slope of FG = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex]

                    = [tex]\frac{8-1}{9-[-5]}=\frac{7}{9+5}\\\\[/tex]

                     [tex]\frac{7}{14}\\\\=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Slope of line perpendicular to FG = -1/m = -1/(1/2) = -2

Equation of line in slope intercept form : y = mx + b

m = - 2

So, option c will be the equation of the line perpendicular to FG

Vertex form of equation : [tex]f (x) = a(x - h)^2 + k,[/tex]where (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola.

[tex]y=3(x-2)^2-(x-5)^2\\\\=3(x^2+4-4x)-(x^2+25-10x)\\\\=3x^2+12-12x-x^2-25+10x\\\\=2x^2-2x-13\\\\=2(x^2-x-\dfrac{13}{2})\\\\=2(x^2-x+\dfrac{1}{4}-\dfrac{1}{4}-\dfrac{13}{2})\\\\=2((x-\dfrac{1}{2})^2-\dfrac{1+26}{4})\\\\=2((x-\dfrac{1}{2})^2-\dfrac{27}{4})=2((x-\dfrac{1}{2})^2)-\dfrac{27}{2}[/tex]

Which choice shows the coordinates of B' if the trapezoid is reflected across the x-axis? On a coordinate plane, trapezoid A B C D has points (2, 2), (7, 2), (5, 1), (3, 1). (–7, 2) (2, –7) (7, –2) (–2, 7)

Answers

Answer:

(7, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The trapezoid A B C D has points (2, 2), (7, 2), (5, 1), (3, 1).

Transformation of a point is the change in location from an original position to a new position. If a shape is transformed, all its points are also transformed. A transformation can either be a rotation, translation, reflection or dilation.

If a point O(x,y) is reflected across the y axis, the new coordinate of the point is at O'(x, -y), i.e. the x coordinate does not change, but the y coordinate is negated.

Since in trapezoid ABCD, the coordinate of point B is (7, 2). The trapezoid is  reflected across the x-axis, therefore the new coordinate of B' is at (7, -2)

Answer: [tex]4.\ \ \ \dfrac{4\sqrt{mn}}{m^2}[/tex] .

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression: [tex]\sqrt{\dfrac{16n}{m^3}}[/tex]

'

since [tex]16=4^2[/tex]

[tex]m^3=m^{2+1}= m^2\times m[/tex]   [[tex]a^{n+m}=a^n\times a^m[/tex]]

Now, the given expression becomes,

[tex]\sqrt{\dfrac{4^2n}{m^2\timesn}}=\dfrac{4\sqrt{n}}{m\sqrt{m}}[/tex]

Since there is root in denominator , so we need to rationalize

[tex]\dfrac{4\sqrt{n}}{m\sqrt{m}}\times\dfrac{\sqrt{m}}{\sqrt{m}}=\dfrac{4\sqrt{mn}}{m\times\sqrt{m}\times\sqrt{m} }\\\\=\dfrac{4\sqrt{mn}}{m\times m}\\\\=\dfrac{4\sqrt{mn}}{m^2}[/tex]

Hence, the correct option is [tex]4.\ \ \ \dfrac{4\sqrt{mn}}{m^2}[/tex] .

Determine what type of model best fits the given situation:
A model rocket fired straight up from the ground, where h is the height of the rocket and t is the time in seconds.

Answers

Answer:

Ok, i will suppose the situation that:

The rocket has a constant speed S (So the acceleration of the rocket is equal in magnitude, but opposite in direction, to the gravitational acceleration)

Here we can remember that:

Velocity = distance/time.

Then if the distance is the height of the rocket, we can write this as:

H = velocity*time

h = S*t

This is a linear model that represents the height of the rocket as a function of time.

Case 2:

The rocket is fired with an initial velocity v0, but no acceleration:

In this case the only acceleration acting on the rocket is the gravitatonal acceleration pulling the rocket down, so the acceleration is:

a = -g

To get the velocity as a function of time, we should integrate:

a = -g*t + v0

To get the height as a function of time, we integrate again:

h(t) = (-g/2)*t^2 + v0*t + p0

Where p0 is the initial position of te rocket, but the rocket starts at the ground, so p0 = 0m.

The height as a function of time is:

h(t) = (-g/2)*t^2 + v0*t

This is a quadratic equation.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

It depends on how it is written. By definition

[tex]\csc(x) = (\sin(x))^{-1} = \frac{1}{\sin(x)}[/tex]

[tex]\sec(x) = (\cos(x))^{-1} = \frac{1}{\cos(x)}[/tex]

[tex]\cot(x) = (\tan(x))^{-1} = \frac{1}{\tan(x)}[/tex]

however the functions

[tex]\sin^{-1}(x), \cos^{-1}(x), \tan^{-1}(x)[/tex] are the inverse functions of sine, cosine and tangent respectively. So, they are not equivalent functions

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression [tex]2^5 \ 5^2[/tex], we are to complete the inequality by inserting the correct inequality signs in between the values.

Before we do that, we must know the value of each indicinal expressions.

[tex]2^5 = 2*2*2*2*2\\\\2^5 = 4*4*2\\\\2^5 = 16*2\\\\2^5 = 32[/tex]

Also,

Jeanie wants a $100 000 mortgage. She arranged payments for the next 15 years. The bank charges 4.8%/a interest, compounded monthly.
a) how much is each monthly payment
b) how much interest is jeanie paying?

Answers

Answer:

in one month : 13676.57/12=1139.71

the interest on 100000 is: 205148.48-100000=105148.48

Step-by-step explanation:

A=P(1+r)^t   (p is the mortgage, t is the time and r is the rate)

p=100000,t=15*12 month,r=4.8%( or 0.048)

A=100000(1+0.048/12)^(12*15)

A=205148.48 (the number rounded to the nearest hundredth)

205128.48 is the amount she has to pay it after 15 years

in one year : 205128.48/15=13676.57 ( rounded to nearest hundredth)

in one month : 13676.57/12=1139.71

the interest on 100000 is: 205148.48-100000=105148.48

1.if tip included in fare, total amount paid by Angela =(55$/x) +8$

if tip is not included in fare than total amount paid by angela = (63$/x)+8$

Explanation :-

According to qus

Total friends included Angela = x

Total fare paid by them =63$

If tip included in total fare, than total fare without tip=63-8

= 55$

Sothat,

amont paid by individual =total fare /total friends. 55$/x

If tip not include in total fare than total amount paid by individual =63$/x

Answers

Answer:

here you go :)

Step-by-step explanation:

You would take 20% of $22.50 (22.5 multiplied by .2). You would get $4.50 off of the book with the discount. So you would subtract 4.5 from 22.5 and get $18. Then you would take 10% of $18 for the sales tax. (18 multiplied by .1). You would get $1.80 towards sales tax. you would then add $1.80 to $18 and get $19.80.
