What is 1+4=5 2+5=12 3+6=21 what does 8 plus 11 equal

tester [12.3K]2 months ago

This is a well-known math riddle, and it is not addressed in a typical manner.

<span>1+4=5
2+5=12
3+6=21
8+11=?

A noticeable pattern exists. While 2+5 does not equate to twelve, the expression 2*(2+5) does result in 12. Here's how to approach the remaining calculations:

</span>1+4=5 -> 1*(4+1)=5
2+5=12 -> 2*(5+1)=12
3+6=21 -> <span>3*(6+1)=21 </span>
8+11=? -> <span>8*(11+1)=96 
</span>
This is one solution to the puzzle, HOWEVER, there is another method that yields the SAME answer, but some individuals mistakenly think it results in a different one. If someone posts an alternative method claiming the answer is 40, please reach out to me through comments or direct message, and I will clarify why the correct answer remains 96 in both cases.

You have a job as a teacher. Your salary for the first year is $37,185.
tester [12383]
a) This represents a geometric sequence. b) c) The salary at the beginning of the fifth year will be $46,945.21. To clarify, my starting salary is $37,185. Should I receive a 6% raise each year, the salary for the following year will be: $37,185 x 1.06 = $39,416.10. Consequently, the salary after the second year will be: $39,416.10 x 1.06 = $41,781.07. Hence, the salary sequence will look like: $37,185, $39,416.10, $41,781.07, and so forth, demonstrating a consistent ratio of r = 1.06 for each term.

What is the slope of 1.5x+4.5y=18
Inessa [12570]
The x intercept is at (12,0). To find it, start with the equation 1.5x + 4.5y = 18, and subtract 1.5x from both sides. This gives you 4.5y = -1.5x + 18. Next, divide everything by 4.5, resulting in y = -1/3x + 4. Hence, the slope of the line is -1/3, and the y intercept is at (0,4). To determine the x intercept, set y to 0. Plugging this into the equation yields: 1.5x + 4.5(0) = 18, simplifying to 1.5x = 18. Dividing both sides by 1.5 gives x = 12.

Alex can ski 960 meters in 5 minutes. If his skiing speed is increased by 20 m/min, how many meters can he cover in 10 minutes?
tester [12383]
Initially, we need to determine how fast he skis in a minute without considering any speed increase.
To do that, we'll divide the total distance by the time.
960 divided by 5 equals 192.
Therefore, his speed is 192 meters per second.
Now, let's add 20 to this figure.
192 plus 20 equals 212.
Now, to calculate how far he can travel in 10 minutes, we multiply 212 by 10.
212 times 10 equals 2120.
Thus, Alex can cover 2120 meters in 10 minutes.

The average height of females in the freshman class of a certain college has historically been 162.5 centimeters with a standard
Svet_ta [12734]
To determine if there is evidence suggesting a change in average height, we can conduct a right-tailed test and formulate both null and alternative hypotheses.

H₀ (null hypothesis): μ = 162.5
H₁ (alternative hypothesis): μ > 162.5

With two samples to analyze, we can calculate the z-score using the formula provided below.

Z = \frac{(\chi - \mu)}{ \sigma / \sqrt{n}}

In this formula, Z symbolizes the z-score, Χ denotes the new sample mean, μ indicates the theoretical average, δ represents the standard deviation, and n signifies the sample size. Based on the gathered values, 

Z = \frac{(165.2 - 162.5)}{6.9 / \sqrt{50}}
Z \approx 2.77

Assuming a significance level of α = 0.05. With a z-score of 2.77, we can reference the z-table to ascertain the p-value. This yields P(Z > 2.77) =.0028. Since our p-value is below α, we reject the null hypothesis, indicating that the average height of female freshman students has indeed shifted.
