The place values in 5.6 and 1.78 are the positions of the digits in the numbers

  • The largest place value common in 5.6 and 1.78 is the ones place
  • Nichole is correct

<h3>How to determine who is correct?</h3>

In a number, the non-zero digit at the left-most position is the greatest place value

This means that:

The greatest place value in 5.6 is 5 (i.e. ones place)

The greatest place value in 1.78 is 1 (i.e. ones place)

So, we can conclude that the largest place value common in 5.6 and 1.78 is the ones place

Hence, Nichole is correct

What are the $x$ - and $y$ -intercepts of the equation $3x+4y=24$ ?
Angelina_Jolie [31]

The x and the y-intercepts of the function are 8 and 6, respectively

<h3>Intercepts</h3>

The intercepts of a function are the points where the graph of the function crosses the x-axis

<h3>The function</h3>

The function is given as:

3x + 4y = 24

Set y to 0, to calculate the x-intercept

3x + 4(0) = 24

3x  = 24

Divide both sides by 3

x  = 8

Set x to 0, to calculate the y-intercept

3(0) + 4y = 24

4y = 24

Divide both sides by 4

y = 6

Hence, the x and the y-intercepts of the function are 8 and 6, respectively

Simplify the expression. Use standard polynomial format.<br> x(2x + 3) + (x - 3)(x - 4)
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

x(2x + 3) + (x - 3) (x - 4) = 3x²- 4x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Expand:</em>

x(2x + 3): 2x² + 3x

2x² + 3x + (x - 3) (x - 4)

<em>Expand</em>:

(x - 3) (x - 4):  x²- 7x + 12

2x² + 3x + x²- 7x + 12

<em>Simplify:</em>

2x² + 3x + x² - 7x + 12:  3x² - 4x + 12

= 3x² - 4x +12

How many thousands are there in 800,000
erastovalidia [21]
To find the solution to the problem, we can divide the number by 1,000.
Because we're trying to find how many 1,000's are there in this 800,000.

800,000 / 1,000 = 800

There are 800 1,000's in that number.

Please help I don't know how to do this!

<span>Constraints (in slope-intercept form)
x≥0,
y≥0,
y≤1/3x+3,
y</span>≤ 5 - x

The vertices are the points of intersection between the constraints, or the outer bounds of the area that agrees with the constraints.
We know that x≥0 and y≥0, so there is one vertex at (0,0)
We find the other vertex on the y-axis, plug in 0 for x in the function:
y <span>≤ 1/3x+3
y </span><span>≤1/3(0)+3
y = 3. 
There is another vertex at (0,3)
Find where the 2 inequalities intersect by setting them equal to each other
(1/3x+3) = 5-x          Simplify Simplify Simplify
x = 3/2
Plugging in 3/2 into y = 5-x: 10/2 - 3/2 = 7/2
y=7/2
There is another vertex at (3/2, 7/2)
 
There is a final vertex where the line y=5-x crosses the x axis:
0 = 5 -x , x = 5
The final vertex is at point (5, 0)
Therefore, the vertices are:
(0,0), (0,3), (3/2, 7/2), (5, 0)
We want to maximize C = 6x - 4y.
Of all the vertices, we want the one with the largest x and smallest y. We might have to plug in a few to see which gives the greatest C value, but in this case, it's not necessary. 
The point (5,0) has the largest x value of all vertices and lowest y value.
Maximum of the function:
C = 6(5) - 4(0)
C = 30</span>
