Answer:

We use it to substitute an unknown number. We have a variable for a number we don’t know and as we solve the problem we can find the answer for the variable or unknown number.

Answer:

They are used for a number we don't know what is exactly. As we solve the problem, we learn what the number could be, but when we don't know a certain number or have to solve for the unknown number, we use a variable to substitute for it.

Step-by-step explanation:

I hope it helps! Have a great day!

What is the range of the function y= √x+5
Fofino [41]

Answer: {f(x)∈R∣f(x)≥0}

Step-by-step explanation: The square root function never produces a negative result. Therefore, for the function f(x)=√x+5 , the domain is {x∈R∣x≥−5} and the range is {f(x)∈R∣f(x)≥0} .

Ierofanga [76]
First, find the missing leg of ΔBCD (line BD). Using the Pythagorean Theorem, subtract (5^2)-(3^2) [25-9], and you get 16. Find the square root of 16, and you get <em>4</em> for line BD. Now, you can find AB. Add (7^2)+(4^2) [49+16], and you get 65. Now, since 65 isn't a perfect root, just use √(65)

Answer: Line AB equals √(65).

Find all solutions by transforming the system to reduced echelon form and back substituting. (If there are an infinite number of
Zolol [24]

Answer:

The system has infinite solutions described in the set \{(x_1,x_2,x_3)=(6+s1, -10-2s1,s1): s1\in\mathbb{R}\}

Step-by-step explanation:

The augmented matrix of the system is \left[\begin{array}{cccc}-1&-1&-1&4\\2&1&0&2\end{array}\right].

We apply row operations:

1. We add the first row to the second row twice and obtain the matrix \left[\begin{array}{cccc}-1&-1&-1&4\\0&-1&-2&10\end{array}\right]

2. multiply by -1 the rows of the previous matrix and obtain the matrix \left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&1&1&-4\\0&1&2&-10\end{array}\right] that is the reduced echelon form of the matrix associated to the system.

Now we aply backward substitution:

1. Observe that the reduced echelon form has a free variable, then the system has infinite solutions.

2.

x_2+2x_3=-10\\x_2=-10-2x_3

3.

x_1+x_2+x_3=-4\\x_1-10-2x_3+x_3=-4\\x_1-x_3=-4+10\\x_1=6+x_3.

Then the set of solutions is \{(x_1,x_2,x_3)=(6+s1, -10-2s1,s1): s1\in\mathbb{R}\}

Which of the following would NOT work to make a triangle with the two side<br> lengths of 2 and 6?
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

The Triangle Inequality Theorem states that the sum of any 2 sides of a triangle must be greater than the measure of the third side.

If you add 2 and 4, you will get 6. This is the right answer because the only answer that is incorrect is the 4th, it has to equal a minimum of 7, not 6.
