why are greek letters used in math and their origin and reasons

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Because European mathematics is very heavily rooted in the mathematics of ancient Greece, and due to the need for many symbols to represent constants, variables, functions and other mathematical objects, mathematicians frequently use letters from the Greek alphabet in their work.

Given x=-3, y=6, and z=-4 22-3y+4x=​

Answers

Answer: -8

Explanation: It's a good idea to get into the habit of using parenthses

when substituting numbers in for variables.

Since x = -3 and y = 6, 22 - 3y + 4x is 22 - 3(6) + 4(-3).

3(6) is 18 so we have 22 - 18 + 4(-3).

4(-3) is - 12 so we have 22 - 18 + -12.

Now, 22 - 18 is 4 and 4 + -12 is -8.

Answer:

-8

Step-by-step explanation:

Subsitute the variable "y" with 6 and the variable "x" with -3. Once the variables are replaced with the right numbers, the equation should read 22- 3(6) +4(-3). Using PEMDAS (parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction) you should do what's in the parentheses first. -3 times 6 is -18 and 4 times -3 is -12. 22-18-12= -8

Beakers X and Y contain some water. If 50 ml of water is transferred from Beaker X
to Beaker Y, there will be 3/7 as much water in Beaker X as in Beaker Y. IF 100 ml
of water is transferred from Beaker Y to Beaker X, there will be 4 times as much
water in Beaker X as in Beaker Y. How much water is there in Beaker X?​

Answers

Answer:

140 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount of water in Beaker X and y be the amount of water in Beaker Y.

Then we get following equations:

First part

x - 50 = 3/7(y + 50)7x -350 = 3y + 1507x = 3y + 500

Second part

x + 100 = 4(y - 100) x + 100 = 4y - 400x = 4y - 500

Substitute x in first equation:

7(4y - 500) = 3y + 50028y - 3500 = 3y + 50028y - 3y = 500 + 350025y = 4000y = 4000/25y = 160 ml

Then finding x:

x = 4*160 - 500x = 640 - 500x = 140 ml

Initial amount of water in Beaker X is 140 ml, in Beaker Y is 160 ml

find the coordinates of the other endpoint of the segment of one endpoint is (-2,-7) and midpoint is (6,-10)

Answers

Answer:

(14, - 13 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given endpoints (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint is

[ [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] (x₁ + x₂ ), [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] (y₁ + y₂ ) ]

let (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, - 7) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (x, y)

Using the midpoint formulae equate to the coordinates of the midpoint.

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] (- 2 + x) = 6 ( multiply both sides by 2 )

- 2 + x = 12 ( add 2 to each side )

x = 14

and

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] (- 7 + y ) = - 10 ( multiply both sides by 2 )

- 7 + y = - 20 ( add 7 to both sides )

y = - 13

Thus

coordinates of other endpoint = (14, - 13 )

If f(x) = 2x+7 and g(x) = -3x+5, what is f(g(4))?

Answers

Answer is -7

Plug 4 in for g(x) and solve to get x=-7.Plug x=-7 in for f(x).

Answer:

-7

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the two functions:

[tex]f(x)=2x+7\text{ and } g(x)=-3x+5[/tex]

And we want to find f(g(4)).

So, find g(4) first:

[tex]g(x)=-3x+5\\g(4)=-3(4)+5[/tex]

Multiply:

[tex]g(4)=-12+5[/tex]

Add:

[tex]g(4)=-7[/tex]

Now, substitute:

[tex]f(g(4))=f(-7)[/tex]

Use the equation from f(x):

[tex]f(x)=2x+7\\f(-7)=2(-7)+7[/tex]

Multiply:

[tex]f(-7)=-14+7[/tex]

Add:

[tex]f(-7)=-7[/tex]

So:

[tex]f(-7)=f(g(4))=-7[/tex]

Sara bought a meal in a town that has no sales tax. If she tipped 20% and paid a total of $18.96, what was the original cost of her meal?

Answers

Answer: $18.76

Step-by-step explanation:

Let original cost of meal =x

According to question,

x+20%=18.96

x=18.96-20%

x=$18.76

Answer:

original cost of meal  = $15.80

Step-by-step explanation:

120% = $18.96 (divide both sides by 120)

1% = $0.158  (multiply both sides by 100)

100% = $15.80

I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST a scale on a map shows that 2 inches = 25 miles Part A: How many inches on the map = 60 miles? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Part B: How many miles are represented by 1/4 inch on the map?

Answers

Answer:

4.8 in, 3.125 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

This situation models direct proportionality, hence, if one variable increases, the other goes increases as well and vice versa. In this case, the variables are inches and miles.

Part A: Since you multiply 60/25 by 25 to get 60 miles, we know that the value in inches will be 2 * 60/25 = 4.8 inches.

Part B: Since you divide 2 by 8 to get 1/4 inches, we know that the value in miles will be 25 / 8 = 3.125 miles.

Half the perimeter of a rectangular room is 46 m, and its length is 6 m more than its breadth. What is the length and breadth of the room?

Answers

Answer:

26 m and 20 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the room be l, the breadth be b and perimeter be P.

Given:

P/2 = 46 ml = b + 6 mSolution

Since P = 2(l + b), P/2 = l +b, we have following equations:

l + b = 46l = b + 6

Substituting l in first equation:

b + 6 + b = 462b + 6 = 462b = 40b = 20 m

Then the length is:

l = b + 6 = 20 + 6 = 26 m

Is -3 a natural number a whole number a integer a rational number or irrational number

Answers

Answer:

-3 is a rational integer.

Step-by-step explanation:

An integer is a superset of the whole numbers that includes the negated values as well as 0.

A rational number is simply anything that can be expressed as a fraction.

-3 is by these definitions, a negated 3, and any non fractional number can be expressed as a fraction.

-3 is not a natural number, as that is the set of numbers {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ... etc} and -3 is not a whole number, as that is the set of numbers {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ... etc}.

And -3 is also not an irrational number since it can be expressed as a fraction.

Thus, -3 is a rational integer.

You are choosing between two different cell phone plans. The first plan charges a rate of 26 cents per minute. The second plan charges a monthly fee of $39.95 plus 12 cents per minute. Let t be the number of minutes you talk and C1 and C2 be the costs (in dollars) of the first and second plans. Give an equation for each in terms of t, and then find the number of talk minutes that would produce the same cost for both plans (Round your answer to one decimal place). C1= C2= If you talk for minutes the two plans will have the same cost.

Answers

Answer:

285.28571429 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent

The number of minutes you talk = t

C1 = Cost in dollars of the first plan

C2 = Cost in dollars of the second plan

First plan

The first plan charges a rate of 26 cents per minute

Converting cents to dollars

100 cents = 1 dollars

26 cents =

26/100 cents

=$ 0.26

C1 = $0.26 × t

C1 = 0.26t .......... Equation 1

Second Plan

The second plan charges a monthly fee of $39.95 plus 12 cents per minute

Converting 12 cents to dollars

100 cents = 1 dollars

12 cents =

12/100

= $0.12

C2 = $39.95 + 0.12t........Equation 2

Find the number of talk minutes that would produce the same cost for both plans

We would Equate C1 to C2

C1 = C2

0.26t = $39.95 + 0.12t

Collect like terms

0.26t - 0.12t = $39.95

= 0.14t = $39.95

Divide both sides by 0.14

= t = $34.95/0.14

t = 285.28571429 minutes

Therefore, the number of talk minutes that would produce the same cost for both plans is 285.28571429 minutes.

Answers

Answer: kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

As a consumer, a number of factors play a number of factors play a major role and guides my purchasing decision. These factors include :

Employment : Being employed or self employed and being unemployed definitely plays a role in one's income level. An unemployed individual may tend to be more conservative when deciding on what or what not to purchase.

Income : Employment has grades which could be defined based on income level of workers, individuals with higher wages or salaries will tend to boast more financial strength than those with meager income.

Prices : Cost of items may be used to interpret quality product in some cases, hence some individuals may be put off by high cost associated to a product while some may be attracted to them.

Interest rate: Interest rates are often unstable and as such may guide an individual's investment plan, by holding on when interest falls and financing when it rises.

Consumer confidence : The contentment individuals derive from using a product may be nurtured through previous experience and hence either builds consumer confidence in a certain brand or a loss or decline in confidence over such product.
