Find the variance of the first ten natural numbers.
For 1,2,…,n, use the known mean and sum of squares.
Evaluate lim(x→−1)(x¹⁰+x⁵+1)/(x−1).
Simplify the expression before substitution and preserve one-sided information.
Substitution into the original expression verifies the stated domain and final value.
Calculate the distances for four pairs: (i) (2,3,5),(4,3,1)(ii) (−3,7,2),(2,4,−1)(iii) (−1,3,−4),(1,−3,4)(iv) (2,−1,3),(−2,1,3).
Use rectangular-coordinate definitions and keep corresponding coordinates aligned.
The final relation satisfies the original coordinate or distance condition, completing the verification.
Find the slope of the line from the origin to the midpoint of the segment joining (0,−4) and (8,0).
Translate every condition into an equation and retain exact values throughout the straight-line calculation.
The last line satisfies the original conditions and supplies every requested part.
A coin is tossed three times. How many ordered outcome sequences are possible?
Each toss has two choices and the choices are independent.
Solve 4x+3<5x+7 for real x.
Bring the x-terms to one side and constants to the other.
Simplify (1−i)−(−1+6i).
Remove the bracket and combine real and imaginary parts separately.
A circle has diameter \(40\,\mathrm{cm}\) and a chord of length \(20\,\mathrm{cm}\). Determine the length of the corresponding minor arc.
Join the chord endpoints to the centre. All three sides of the resulting triangle are \(20\,\mathrm{cm}\), so its central angle is 60°.
For \(A=\{-1,1\}\), list \(A\times A\times A\).
Each coordinate has two choices, so \(2^3=8\) triples:
\(\{(-1,-1,-1),(-1,-1,1),(-1,1,-1),(-1,1,1),(1,-1,-1),(1,-1,1),(1,1,-1),(1,1,1)\}\).
The eight ordered triples shown in the solution.
List the elements, where possible, of the following sets:
The element lists are given in parts (i)–(vi) of the solution.
