(a) n/2
(b) n(n + 1)/2
(c) n(n-1)/2
(d) (n + 1)²/2​

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

[tex]\displaystyle\sf{\,^{n}C_{n-1}+\,^{n}C_{n-2}}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle\sf{=\dfrac{n!}{(n-1)!(n-(n-1))!}+\dfrac{n!}{(n-2)!(n-(n-2))!}}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle\sf{=\dfrac{n!}{(n-1)!(n-n+1)!}+\dfrac{n!}{(n-2)!(n-n+2)!}}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle\sf{=\dfrac{n!}{(n-1)!(1)!}+\dfrac{n!}{(n-2)!(2)!}}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle\sf{=\dfrac{n(n-1)!}{(n-1)!(1)!}+\dfrac{n(n-1)(n-2)!}{(n-2)!(2)!}}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle\sf{=\dfrac{n}{1}+\dfrac{n(n-1)}{2}}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle\sf{=n+\dfrac{n^2-n}{2}}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle\sf{=\dfrac{2n+n^2-n}{2}}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle\sf{=\dfrac{n^2+n}{2}}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle\sf{=\dfrac{n(n+1)}{2}}[/tex]

Answer 2

Using the combination formula, it is found that the value of the expression is given by:

(b) n(n + 1)/2

What is the combination formula?

[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by:

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

In this problem:

[tex]C_{n, n-1} = \frac{n!}{(n-1)!(n - n + 1)!} = \frac{n(n-1)!}{(n-1)!} = n[/tex]

[tex]C_{n, n-2} = \frac{n!}{(n-2)!(n - n + 2)!} = \frac{n(n-1)(n-2)!}{(n-2)!2!} = \frac{n(n-1)}{2}[/tex]

Then, adding these values:

[tex]n + \frac{n(n-1)}{2} = \frac{2n + n^2 - n}{2} = \frac{n(n + 1)}{2}[/tex]

Hence option b is correct.

Se ha construido un cuadrado sobre cada lado del triángulo rectángulo, Pitágoras dice que el cuadrado de área 25 cm2, es igual a sumar las áreas de los otros dos cuadrados, es decir, 16 cm2 y 9 cm2. Escribir la expresión algebraica que mejor represente la relación entre las áreas en la figura.

Answers

Answer:

Tenemos la siguiente expresión algebraica:

[tex]c^{2} = a^{2}+b^{2}[/tex] (1)

Donde:

[tex]c[/tex] - Hipotenusa, en centímetros.

[tex]a, b[/tex] - Catetos, en centímetros.

Step-by-step explanation:

Este ejercicio ofrece un recurso mnemotécnico para la comprensión y aplicación del Teorema de Pitágoras, el cual establece que el cuadrado de la hipotenusa es igual a la suma de los catetos elevados al cuadrado, siendo cada componente equivalente al área de un cuadrado hipotético, entonces, la expresión algebraica que representa esa relación entre las áreas es:

[tex]25\,cm^{2} = 16\,cm^{2} + 9\,cm^{2}[/tex]

[tex](5\,cm)^{2} = (4\,cm)^{2}+(3\,cm)^{2}[/tex]

Por analogía, tenemos la siguiente expresión algebraica:

[tex]c^{2} = a^{2}+b^{2}[/tex] (1)

Donde:

[tex]c[/tex] - Hipotenusa, en centímetros.

[tex]a, b[/tex] - Catetos, en centímetros.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the number that multiplies to make -27 and adds to make 6. In this case it is 9 and -3. Use these numbers to factorise.

Answer:

(x-3) (+9)

Step-by-step explanation:

To know what numbers to use, factor out the constant (-27).

You would get the numbers : 1,3,9,27.

Then figure out which numbers would make the 6x true. In this case, we would need the 3 and 9. They also need to add up to 6x, so the 3 needs to be negative.

-3 & 9

Then form the factors:

how do you translate a figure in a coordinate plane?

Answers

Answer:

Answer down below

Step-by-step explanation:

When you perform translations, you slide a figure left or right, up or down. This means that on the coordinate plane, the coordinates for the vertices of the figure will change. To graph a translation, perform the same change for each point. You can identify a reflection by the changes in its coordinates.

Given: the function f defined by f(x) = 3x2 . Which statement is true? 1) f(0) = 0 2) f(−2) = f(2) 3) f(5) + f(2) = f(7) 4) f(5) − f(2) = f(10)

Answers

Answer:

f(0) = 0 and f(−2) = f(2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: the function f defined by f(x) = 3x²

f(0) = 3(0)²

f(0) = 0

f(-2) = 3(-2)²

f(-2) = 3(4)

f(-2) = 12

f(2) = 3(2)²

f(2) = 3(4)

f(2) = 12

Hence f(-2) = f(2)

Therefore the correct options are  f(0) = 0 and f(−2) = f(2)
