Users' Answers & CommentsIn = a + (n - 1)d
24 = a + (5 - 1)d
24 = a + 4d.......(i)
96 = a + (11 - 1)d
96 = a + 10d.......(ii)
a = 24 - 4d.......(iii)
96 = 24 - 4d + 10d
96 = 24 + 6d
96 - 24 = 6d
72 = 6d
d = (\frac{72}{6})
d = 12
a = 24 - 4d
a = 24 - 4 x 12
a = 24 - 48
a = -24
Users' Answers & Commentsa (\ast) b = b (\ast) a
x (\ast) y = y (\ast) x
2x - 3y + 2 (\neq) 2y - 3y - 3x + 2
2 (\ast) 3 = 2(2) -3(3) + 2
= 4 - 9 + 2
= -3
1 (\ast) 2 = 2(1) - 3(2) + 2
= 2 - 6 + 2
= 2 - 6 + 2
= -2
Users' Answers & Commentsm (\Delta) n = m + n + mn
m (\Delta) e = e (\Delta) m = m
m (\Delta) e = m
m + e + me = m
e + me = m - m
e + me = 0
e(1 + m) = 0
e = (\frac{0}{1 + m}) = 0
Users' Answers & Comments\(\begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 \ -1 & -1\ 2 & 2 \end{pmatrix}\) + \(\begin{pmatrix} x & 1 \ -1 & 0\ y & -2 \end{pmatrix}\) = \(\begin{pmatrix} -2 & 1 \ -2 & -1\ -30 & 0 \end{pmatrix}\)
(\begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 \ -1 & -1\ 2 & 2 \end{pmatrix}) + (\begin{pmatrix} x & 1 \ -1 & 0\ y & -2 \end{pmatrix}) = (\begin{pmatrix} -2 & 1 \ -2 & -1\ -30 & 0 \end{pmatrix})
therefore, (x, y) = (-3, -5) respectively
Users' Answers & Comments-2p + r = 1.......(i)
2p + 3r = 0.......(ii)
r - 1 + 2p ........(iii)
2p + 3(1 + 2p) = 0
2p + 3(1 + 2p) = 0
2p + 3 + 6p = 0
3 - 8p = 0 (\to) 8p = 3
p = (\frac{3}{8})
6 = 1 - 2 (\frac{3}{8})
= 1 - (\frac{6}{8})
(\frac{8 - 6}{8}) = (\frac{2}{8})
= (\frac{1}{4})
Users' Answers & CommentsEquilateral are equal in sides and angle
180o = 60o + 60o + 60o
(\theta) = 60o
Users' Answers & Commentsr = 1
h = 14
(\pi) = (\frac{22}{7})
A = (\pi)r2h
A = (\frac{22}{7}) x 12 x 14
A = 44m2
A = 44 x 10 litres
A = 440 litres
Users' Answers & Commentslet (6, 2) be represented as (x1, y1) and (4, 2) be (x2, y2)
p(6, 2) R(4, 2)
m.p = ((\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2})) ((\frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}))
= ((\frac{6 + 4}{2}) , (\frac{2 + 2}{2}))
= ((\frac{10}{2}),(\frac{4}{2}))
= (5, 2)
