Solve for a.

a+(−1.2)=−5.5

Enter your answer in the box.

a =

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

-4.3

Step-by-step explanation:

a+(-1.2)= -5.5

a-1.2=-5.5

add 1.2 to both sides

a-1.2+1.2= - 5.5+1.2

simplify

a= - 4.3

Answer 2

Answer:

a=-4.3

Why?:

You would have to keep the answer negative, this is because if it were to be positive it would make the negative decrease.

You could easily get a line paper and line up-

-4.3

+ -1.2

_______

-5.5

-5.5-(-1.2) would make the equation end up like -5.5+1.2, and -5.5+1.2=-4.3

Therefore,

a=-4.3

Step-by-step explanation:

When reading a graph, the most important thing is knowing what the axes are. Here, the horizontal x-axis is months, and the vertical y-axis is the number of books read. Those are our 2 variables.

Now, a line on a graph shows the relationship between those 2 variables. At any given point on the line, it'll have an output value of y (books read) for whatever input value of x.

The question gives you the value on the y-axis (books read), so all you need to do is find the value of x that corresponds to that point on the line. I marked that point on the line in the attached image. Look directly below that point on the line, and you can see that 1 month corresponds to 4 books read.

Which function is represented by the graph? f(x) = â’|x â’ 3| 4 f(x) = â’|x 3| 4 f(x) = â’|x â’ 4| 3 f(x) = â’|x 4| 3.

Answers

Functions are used to represent graphs, and vice versa.

The function represented by the graph is [tex]f(x) =- |x + 4| + 3[/tex]

The graph (see attachment) is an absolute value graph.

An absolute value graph is represented as:

[tex]f(x) =a |x - h| + k[/tex]

Where

[tex]Vertex = (h,k)[/tex]

The vertex is the minimum or the maximum point on the graph.

So, we have:

[tex]Vertex = (-4,3)[/tex]

The function becomes

[tex]f(x) =a |x + 4| + 3[/tex]

The function also passes through the point (-1,0).

So, we have:

[tex]0 =a |-1 + 4| + 3[/tex]

[tex]0 =a |3| + 3[/tex]

Remove the absolute bracket

[tex]0 =3a + 3[/tex]

Subtract 3 from both sides

[tex]3a =- 3[/tex]

Divide both sides by 3

[tex]a =- 1[/tex]

Substitute -1 for (a) in [tex]f(x) =a |x + 4| + 3[/tex]

[tex]f(x) =- |x + 4| + 3[/tex]

Hence, the function represented by the graph is [tex]f(x) =- |x + 4| + 3[/tex]

Explain the steps in solving 2.14x-12.18=-576 , and write the solution to the equation.

Answers

Answer:

  x = 274 91/107

Step-by-step explanation:

This is called a "two-step linear equation" because it is solved in 2 steps.

Step 1. Identify the constant on the same side of the equation as the variable term, and add its opposite to both sides of the equation.

  2.14x -12.18 +12.18 = 576 +12.18

  2.14x = 588.18

Step 2. Identify the coefficient of the variable and multiply both sides of the equation by its reciprocal.

  2.14x(1/2.14) = 588.18(1/2.14)

  x = 274.850467... = 274 91/107 . . . the decimal fraction repeats

Eric has to read a 250-page novel by Friday. With four days left until Friday, he has read 110 pages of the novel. What percentage of the pages does Eric still have to read?

Answers

Answer:

56% left of the book

Answer:

56 %

Step-by-step explanation: There are two ways to arrive at the answer.

1st Way: 110/250 = 0.44

0.44 * 100 = 44%

44% is the amount he has read and we are looking for the amount that is left to read.

So we know 100% is the maximum percentage.

We then subtract 44 from 100 which is 56, So 56 is the answer.

2nd Way: 250-110 = 140

140/250=0.56

0.56*100= 56%

Hope this helps.

Let the digits be:

Each of them include numbers 1 through 5.

For each digit there are 5 options.

Total number of combinations is:

5*5*5*5 = 625
The right answer is 120. Let abcd represent the numbers. The number have to be different meaning no repeats so that would mean:

b had 4
c has 3
d has 2
So the equation would be 5x4x3x2 = 120

Use the multinomial theorem to compute some polynomial expansions:

(a + b + c)² = a² + b² + c² + 2 (ab + ac + bc)

(a + b + c)³ = a³ + b³ + c³

… … … … … … + 3 (a²b + a²c + ab² + b²c + ac² + bc²)

… … … … … … + 6 abc

(a + b + c)⁴ = a⁴ + b⁴ + c⁴

… … … … … … + 4 (a³b + a³c + ab³ + b³c + ac³ + bc³)

… … … … … … + 6 (a²b² + a²c² + b²c²)

… … … … … … + 12 (a²bc + ab²c + abc²)

Now, given that

a + b + c = 4

a² + b² + c² = 10

it follows that

ab + ac + bc = (4² - 10)/2 = 3

We use this result to simplify the extra terms in the 3rd-degree expansion.

a²b + a²c + ab² + b²c + ac² + bc²

= a (ab + ac) + b (ab + bc) + c (ac + bc)

= a (ab + ac + bc) + b (ab + ac + bc) + c (ab + ac + bc) - 3abc

… … I underline the terms that are added and subtracted … …

= (a + b + c) (ab + ac + bc) - 3abc

= 4 • 3 - 3abc

= 12 - 3abc

Given that

a³ + b³ + c³ = 22

this tells us that

4³ = 22 + 3 (12 - 3abc) + 6abc

4³ = 58 - 3abc

and so

abc = (4³ - 58)/(-3) = -2

from which it follows that

a²b + a²c + ab² + b²c + ac² + bc² = 12 - 3 • (-2) = 18

Now we similarly simplify the extra terms in the 4th-degree expansion.

a³b + a³c + ab³ + b³c + ac³ + bc³

= a² (ab + ac) + b² (ab + bc) + c² (ac + bc)

= a² (ab + ac + bc) + b² (ab + ac + bc) + c² (ab + ac + bc) - a²bc - ab²c - abc²

= (a² + b² + c²) (ab + ac + bc) - (a²bc + ab²c + abc²)

= 10 • 3 - (a²bc + ab²c + abc²)

which means

4⁴ = a⁴ + b⁴ + c⁴

… … … … … … + 4 (30 - a²bc - ab²c - abc²)

… … … … … … + 6 (a²b² + a²c² + b²c²)

… … … … … … + 12 (a²bc + ab²c + abc²)

reduces to

136 = a⁴ + b⁴ + c⁴

… … … … … … + 6 (a²b² + a²c² + b²c²)

… … … … … … + 8 (a²bc + ab²c + abc²)

Now, we know a + b + c = 4 and abc = -2, so we have

a²bc + ab²c + abc² = abc (a + b + c) = -2 • 4 = -8

and so

136 = a⁴ + b⁴ + c⁴ + 6 (a²b² + a²c² + b²c²) + 8 • (-8)

200 = a⁴ + b⁴ + c⁴ + 6 (a²b² + a²c² + b²c²)

Finally, we know that ab + ac + bc = 3. Squaring this gives

(ab + ac + bc)² = 3²

a²b² + a²c² + b²c² + 2 (a²bc + ab²c + abc²) = 9

but we also know that a²bc + ab²c + abc² = -8, so

a²b² + a²c² + b²c² + 2 • (-8) = 9

a²b² + a²c² + b²c² = 25

Therefore, we end up with

200 = a⁴ + b⁴ + c⁴ + 6 • 25

⇒   [[[   a⁴ + b⁴ + c⁴ = 50   ]]

Given the expression (-1+3i) + (18+5i)

The expression that demonstrates the use of the commutative property of addition in the first step of simplifying the expression is given as:

(-1+3i) + (18+5i)

-1 + 3i + 18 + 5i
