ANSWER

Find out the how old was we when he died.

To proof

Let us assume that the age of the Adam be x

As given

Adam lived a quarter of his life as a boy as fifth as a young man, a third in middle-age and 13 years in retirement.

x =\frac{x}{4} +\frac{x}{5} +\frac{x}{3} + 13

L.C.M of denominator i.e ( 4,5,3) =60

than the equation becomes

60x = 15x + 12x +20x +780

60x - 47x = 780

13x = 780

x =\frac{780}{13}

x = 60 years

therefore the Adam age  when he died is 60 years.

Hence proved

A motor scooter travels 20 mi in the same time that a bicycle covers 8
melamori03 [73]
The scooter is 20 miles per hour and the bicycle is 8 miles per hour. Because twice the rate of the bicycle is sixteen miles then the scooter minus 16 is four as in the four miles per hour mentioned above, so its only one hour then we divide 20 and 8 both seperatly by one and those are your answers

The coefficient of determination: a. cannot be negative b. is the square root of the coefficient of correlation c. can be negati
patriot [66]

Answer:

Correct statement: (a) and (b).

Step-by-step explanation:

R-squared is a statistical quantity that measures, just how near the values are to the fitted regression line. It is also known as the coefficient of determination.

The coefficient of determination is the squared value of the correlation coefficient.

That is,

R^{2}=(r(X, Y))^{2}

The correlation coefficient between two variables is the measure of the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables.

Its values ranges from -1.00 to +1.00.

Although <em>r</em> can be negative but R² is always positive, since square of a negative number is also positive.

So the correct statements are:

a. cannot be negative

b. is the square root of the coefficient of correlation

Show that the Fibonacci numbers satisfy the recurrence relation fn = 5fn−4 + 3fn−5 for n = 5, 6, 7, . . . , together with the in
Sonja [21]

Answer with step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the recurrence relation

f_n=5f_{n-4}+3f_{n-5}

for n=5,6,7,..

Initial condition

f_0=0,f_1=1,f_2=1,f_3=2,f_4=3

We have to show that Fibonacci numbers satisfies the recurrence relation.

The recurrence relation of Fibonacci numbers

f_n=f_{n-1}+f_{n-2},f_0=0,f_1=1

Apply this

f_n=(f_{n-2}+f_{n-3})+f_{n-2}=2f_{n-2}+f_{n-3}

f_n=2(f_{n-3}+f_{n-4})+f_{n-3}=3f_{n-3}+2f_{n-4}

f_n=3(f_{n-4}+f_{n-5})+2f_{n-4}=5f_{n-4}+3f_{n-5}

Substitute n=2

f_2=f_1+f_0=1+0=1

f_3=f_2+f_1=1+1=2

f_4=f_3+f_2=2+1=3

Hence, the Fibonacci numbers satisfied the given recurrence relation .

Now, we have to show that f_{5n} is divisible by 5 for n=1,2,3,..

Now replace n by 5n

f_{5n}=5f_{5n-4}+3f_{5n-5}

Apply induction

Substitute n=1

f_5=5f_1+3f_0=5+0=5

It is true for n=1

Suppose it is true for n=k

f_{5k}=5f_{5k-4}+3f_{5k-5} is divisible 5

Let f_{5k}=5q

Now, we shall prove that for n=k+1 is true

f_{5k+5}=5f_{5k+5-4}+3f_{5k+5-5}=5f_{5k+1}+3f_{5k}=5f_{5k+1}+3(5q)

f_{5k+5}=5(f_{5k+1}+3q)

It is multiple of 5 .Therefore, it is divisible by 5.

It is true for n=k+1

Hence, the f_{5n} is divisible by 5 for n=1,2,3,..

The width of a rectangle is the length minus 2 units. The area of the rectangle is 35 units. What is the width, in units, of the
Andrews [41]

Answer: width = 5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length of the rectangle.

The width of a rectangle is the length minus 2 units. It means that the width of the rectangle is (L - 2) units.

The formula for determining the area of a rectangle is expressed as

Area = length × width

The area of the rectangle is 35 units. It means that

L(L - 2) = 35

L² - 2L = 35

L² - 2L - 35 = 0

L² + 5L - 7L - 35 = 0

L(L + 5) - 7(L + 5) = 0

L - 7 = 0 or L + 5 = 0

L = 7 or L = - 5

Since the length cannot be negative, then

L = 7 units

Width = 7 - 2 = 5 units
