Genevieve wants to verify that negative x is the simplified expression of one-fifth (5 x minus 20) minus one-half (4 x minus 8).

which procedure can genevieve follow to verify this? add one-fifth (5 x minus 20) minus one-half (4 x minus 8) and negative x. put an equal sign between one-fifth (5 x minus 20) minus one-half (4 x minus 8) and one-fifth (5 x minus 20) minus one-half (4 x minus 8) and then solve for x. substitute 5 into the first expression, substitute 4 into the second expression, and evaluate them. substitute 5 into each expression and evaluate them.

Answer: -x

Apply Multiplicative Distribution Law:- 1/5 * 5x - 1/5 * 20 - 1/2 * 4x - 1/2 *(-8)

Determine the sign for multiplication or division: 1/5 * 5x - 1/5 * 20 - 1/2 * 4x + 1/2 * 8

Cross out the common factor: x - 1/5 * 20 - 1/2 * 4x + 1/2 * 8

Cross out the common factor: x - 4 - 1/2 * 4x + 1/2 * 8 - 4 - 2x + 1/2 * 8

Cross out the common factor: x - 4 - 2x + 1/2 * 8

Cross out the common factor:  x - 4 - 2x + 4

Reorder and gather like terms: (x - 2x) + (- 4 + 4)

Collect coefficients for the like terms: (1 - 2) * x + (- 4 + 4)

Calculate the sum or difference :  - x + (- 4 + 4)

The sum of two opposites equals 0: -x

¿Cuál de los siguientes puntos no pertenece a la función cuadrática f(x) = 1-x^2 ?
dusya [7]

Answer:

<h2>A. (0,1)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The question lacks the e=required option. Find the complete question below with options.

Which of the following points does not belong to the quadratic function

f(x) = 1-x²?

a.(0,1) b.(1,0) c.(-1,0)

Let f(x) = 0

The equation becomes 1-x² = 0

Solving 1-x² = 0 for x;

subtract 1 from both sides;

1-x²-1 = 0-1

-x² = -1

multiply both sides by minus sign

-(-x²) = -(-1)

x² = 1

take square root of both sides;

√x² = ±√1

x = ±1

x = 1 and x = -1

when x = 1

f(x) = y = 1-1²

y = 1-1

y = 0

when x = -1

f(x) = y = 1-(-1)²

y = 1-1

y = 0

Hence the coordinate of the function f(x) = 1-x² are (±1, 0) i.e (1, 0) and (-1, 0). The point that does not belong to the quadratic function is (0, 1)
