Why do some numerical expressions contain parentheses

6 0

The most basic and common reason to use parentheses, brackets, and braces is to control the order of operations.

<h3>What are parentheses?</h3>

In mathematics, parenthesis is used to arrange numbers in the sequence of operations, clarify numbers, and denote multiplication.

Suppose you have an expression as:-

E = { ( 5-2 )8} 6

In this case, you would calculate 5 minus 2 first (parentheses), then multiply by 8 (brackets), then complete the part inside the curly braces, and finally multiply by 6.

Therefore the most basic and common reason to use parentheses, brackets, and braces is to control the order of operations.

Find the inverse of this 3x3 matrix. [1 5 2]

MissTica

Lets say the 3x3 Matrix is

M = [1 5 2 ]
[1 1 7 ]
[0 -3 7 ]

We apply the Gauss-Jordan elimination method (Procedure and result shown in the image below)

9(x+2)= 5 - 2( x - 1 )

omeli [17]

We can use the distribution method for both sides:

9 (x+2) = 5 - 2( x - 1 )

9x + 18 = 5 -2x + 2

Move like terms to one side and combine:

9x + 2x = 5+2-18.

11x = -11

x = -1.

Find the value of x. If necessary, round your answer to the nearest tenth. The figure is not drawn to scale. (1 point) 9.7 9.2 9

X= 9.2

From the figure, the chord (12) is drawn with a line (from the center of the circle) perpendicular to it. It can be said that the chord 12 is bisected by the 7 long line from the center which gives us with 6 each of the two parts of the chord. Since they are forming (the 6 and 7) a right angled triangle, we can then use Pythagorean theorem to find X, which can be seen as the radius at the same time hypotenuse of the right angled triangle.
