(Inequalities) what do you have to do when multiplying or dividing by a negative number?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

When we multiply or divide by a negative to solve an inequality, it's the same as multiplying or dividing by a negative to solve a regular equation! Just remember to multiply or divide both sides by the same quantity, then simplify! Remember, when multiplying or dividing by a negative YOU MUST FLIP THE INEQUALITY SIGN.

Step-by-step explanation:

You are welcome.

And I hope this helps.      :)

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you begin with an inequality and wish to solve for one of the variables, you must isolate that variable on the right side of a new inequality.  Now supposing that that variable is negative in the given inequality, and that you must change that sign to positive.  Generally you can either multiply every term in the given inequality by -1 or divide every term by -1.  In both cases you must change the direction of the inequality sign.

Example:  Given -3x > 2 + 5y, solve for x.  To do this, multiply all three terms in the inequality by (-1/3), which yields x on the left and -2/3 - (5/3)y on the right.  We must reverse the direction of the inequality sign, so the final answer is  x < -2/3 - (5/3)y.

Line l has equation y=-3. Find the distance between l and the point E(-7,0).
Round to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer:

The given line has slope m=1

the perpendicular line MUST have slope -1

Since it MUST eat (-3,2), the intercept formula says

B = y - mx = 2 - (-1)(-3)  = 2 - 3 = -1

so the equation of the perpendicular line that eats point W is

y = -x -1

The lines y=x+3 and it's perpendicular y = -x-1 intersect at

  y = x+3 = -x-1

   2x+3 = -1

  2x = -4

  x = -2

THe intersection point is

(-2,1)

Finally by distance formula,

The distance between (-3,2) and (-2,1) is

 sqrt ( (-3 - -2)^2 + ( 2-1)^2)

= sqrt( (-3 + 2)^2 + (2-1)^2)

 = sqrt( (-1)^2 + 1^2)

  = sqrt ( 1+1)

 = sqrt(2)

The distance between line l and the point E (-7, 0) will be;

What is distance between point and line?

The distance between a line ax + by + c = 0 and point (p, q) will be;

D = |ap + bq + c|/√a² + b²

Given that;

Equation of line;

y = -3

And, Point = E (- 7, 0)

Hence, The distance between a line and point is calculated as;

Equation of line;

y = -3

y + 3 = 0

Compare with ax + by + c = 0, we get;

a = 0, b = 1 and c = 3

And, Point = (p, q) = (-7, 0)

Thus, The distance between a line and point is;

D = |0 + 0 + 3|/√0+1

D = 3

So, The distance between line l and the point E (-7, 0) will be;

D = 3.

what is the value of x and y?

Answers

Answer:

The right answer is x = 8, y = 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this triangle is isosceles we know that...

∠ACB = ∠ABC

40° = (5x)°

40 = 5x

x = 40 / 5

x = 8

We also know that the sum of all angles inside the triangle is equal to 180°, therefore...

∠BAC = 180° - ∠ACB - ∠ABC

(2y + 20)° = 180° - 40° - 40°

2y + 20 = 100

2y = 100 - 20

2y = 80

y = 80 / 2

y = 40

From this, we know that the right answer is x = 8, y = 40.

The length and width of a rectangle are 1/6 inches and 3/8 inches. What is the perimeter (in inches) of the rectangle?

Answers

Answer:

1 1/12inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length = 1/6 inches

Width = 3/8 inches

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 (Length + Width)

substitute

P = 2(1/6 + 3/8)

P = 2(4+9/24)

P=  2(13/24)

P = 26/24

P = 1 2/24

P = 1 1/12inches

hence the perimeter of the triangle is 1 1/12inches

1.)

with a Radius of 12 feets

A = π * 12² = 144πfeets²

2.)

Approximate area :

3.14 * 10.4² = 339.6224 feet²

3.)

with a Radius of 28 cm

A = 3.14 * 28² = 2461.76cm²= 2461.8 cm²

4.

Diameter = 50 cm ; Radius = 50/2 = 25

A group of friends wants to go to the amusement park. They have $243.25 to spend on parking and admission. Parking is $15.75, and tickets cost $22.75 per person, including tax. How many people can go to the amusement park?

Answers

Answer: 10 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Parking needs to be paid for but if all friends are going together, they need to only pay once for parking.

The amount spent on just tickets is therefore:

= 243.25 - 15.75

= $227.50.

If $227.50 was for tickets alone, the number of tickets they could buy is:

= Total amount left/ Price of tickets

= 227.50 / 22.75

= 10 people

find the simple interest principle 950 interest rate 12% time 4 years

Answers

Answer:

A= $1406

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for simple interest is A=P(1+rt), where P=Principal, R=Rate, and T=Time. Before you plug your numbers into your formula, you must first convert 12% to a decimal (This is simple because all you have to do is divide 12 by 100.)- 0.12.

Now, you can plug your numbers into the formula: A=950(1+0.12x4). To make this less complex, I suggest working in the parenthesis first- specifically simplifying rt, or multiplying 0.12 by 4 (you should get 0.48)! Now, you are just about ready to go. A=950(1+0.48)- You can plug this into your calculator as is, or you can go on ahead and add the numbers in the parenthesis if that makes you feel better! (You should get 1.48).

Your final formula should be 950(1.48), and you should plug this into a TEACHER-APPROVED CALCULATOR to save time!

Your final answer should be $1406, otherwise you did something wrong! XD!
