if x is a factor of y and y is a factor z, then x is a factor of z. true or false​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

True; this [tex]x[/tex] would indeed be a factor of [tex]z[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

"[tex]x[/tex] is a factor of [tex]y[/tex]" means that there is a whole number [tex]p[/tex] such that [tex]x\, p = y[/tex].

Likewise, [tex]y[/tex] is a factor of [tex]z[/tex] if and only if there is a whole number [tex]q[/tex] such that [tex]y\, q = z[/tex].

This [tex]x[/tex] would be a factor of [tex]z[/tex] if there is some whole number [tex]r[/tex] such that [tex]x\, r = z[/tex].

The first equality [tex]x\, p = y[/tex] implies that [tex]y[/tex] may be substituted with [tex]x\, p[/tex].

Substitute the [tex]y[/tex] in the second equality [tex]y\, q = z[/tex] with [tex](x\, p)[/tex] to obtain:

[tex](x\, p)\, q = z[/tex].

Rearrange to obtain:

[tex]x\, (p\, q) = z[/tex].

The product of two whole numbers is still a whole number. Since [tex]p[/tex] and [tex]q[/tex] are both whole numbers, [tex]p\, q[/tex] would also be a whole number.

Thus, if [tex]r = p\, q[/tex], then [tex]x\, r = x\, (p\, q) = z[/tex], while [tex]r[/tex] would be a whole number.

Therefore, this [tex]x[/tex] would indeed be a factor of [tex]z[/tex].

I think it’s because James is using only 18 m of wood, and only whole numbers. With only whole numbers, there are no more factors of 18 that would make sense for a picture frame, and the maximum area has been found with the dimensions of 6 and 3. If he continues the chart and goes higher than 20 (let alone 18), it would be pointless since he wants to make a frame with 18 m of wood.

If you rolled a die, what is the probability that you would roll a 3 or a 9? Give your answer as a simplified fraction.
P(3 or 9) =

Answers

Answer: P (3 or 9) = 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Concept:

Here, we need to know the idea of probability.

Probability is a measure of the likelihood of an event to occur.

If you are still confused, please refer to the attachment below for a graphical explanation.

Solve:

The numbers on a dice: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Total numbers = 6

Number of 3 = 1

Number of 9 = 0

P (3 or 9) = Favorable / Total (refer to the attachment below)

P (3 or 9) = (1 + 0) / (6)

P (3 or 9) = 1 / 6

ΔFED
~ ____

Answers

Answer:

FED ~ MLF

Step-by-step explanation:

∠L = ∠E

∠F = ∠F

Since both angles are congruent, that would mean all angles are congruent.

If all angles are congruent, then the triangles are always similar no matter the length of the sides.

The complete statement is [tex]\triangle FED\sim \triangle FLM[/tex].

What are the similar triangles?

Similar triangles are the triangles that have the same shape, but their sizes may vary.

What is AA or angle angle similarity rule?

If any two angles of a triangle are equal to any two angles of another triangle, then the two triangles are similar to each other.

What are vertically opposite angles?

When two lines intersect each other, then the opposite angles are formed due to intersection are called vertical angles or vertically opposite angles.

According to the given question.

We have two triangles LMF and EDF

In triangles LMF and EFD we have

∠MLF = ∠DEF   (given)

Also, ∠MFL = ∠DFE   (vertically opposite angles)

Since, we know that " if any two angles of a triangle are equal to any two angles of another triangle, then the two triangles are similar to each other".

Therefore, by AA similarity criteria triangle FED is similar to FLM.

Hence, the complete statement is [tex]\triangle FED\sim \triangle FLM[/tex].

The diameters are 6 and 8, which cut in half to 3 and 4 respectively.

The difference in these radii values is 4-3 = 1.

Answers

Answer:

The curved surface area of the cone is approximately 329.9 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters of the right circular cone are;

The radius of the cone, r = 7 cm

The slant height of the one, l = 15 cm

The curved surface area of a cone, CSA = π·r·l

Therefore;

CSA = π × 7 cm × 15 cm = 105·π cm² ≈ 329.9 cm².

Step-by-step explanation:

Adjacent to the undetermined angle is 6, and the hypotenuse has been given. We can conclude, after looking at our SOHCAHTOA, that we will be using cosine(CAH) to solve this problem.

Let the unspecified angle be [tex]\theta\\[/tex] (This sign is called theta, which is just a sign for angle)

Lets start!

cos[tex]\theta\\[/tex] = adj/hyp

cos[tex]\theta\\[/tex] = 6/13

[tex]\theta\\[/tex] = 62.5

The tires must be all-weather with a 60,000-mile warranty. It will be a destination contract.
