Using the commutative property for (-5) * 8, we can say that; (-5) * 8 = 8 * (-5)

<h3>What is Commutative Property of Algebra?</h3>

The commutative property of algebraic multiplication states that changing the order of factors does not change the product. For example:

4 × 3 = 3 × 4

Similarly, 5 * 6 = 6 * 5

Now, we want to use commutative property to use (-5) * 8. Thus, we can say that; (-5) * 8 = 8 * (-5)

Can somebody help me with this math problem?

Answer:

B) Rational, not an integer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number is a decimal continuing forever; it is predictable. This means that it is Rational. If the number was not repeating then it would be irrational.

The number is not an integer because it is not a whole number; it is a decimal.

The endpoints of CD are C(–8, 4) and D(6, –6). What are the coordinates of point P on CD such that P is the length of the line s

GalinKa [24]

If you graph the end points C and D then graph the 4 points at the end it is difficult to tell which points are on CD without a line.
Using the endpoints find the slope (change in y/ change in x) then substitute a point in to find the intercept.
Slope = (-6-4)/(6- -8) = -5/7
Intercept equation (-6) = -5/7 (6) + b
b = -1.71428571429
Graphing the line shows only 2 points on the line (–2.75, 0.25) and <span>(0.75, –2.25)
I am confused by the part, "</span><span>P is the length of the line segment from D". Were you given a length P to help you determine which point. Using the distance formula to find the length from each point to D doesn't help determine which one is best with the information you have given. The image shows the distances I calculated and the graphed points.
I hope this helps!</span>

Solve the following question

White raven [17]

Answer:

g) $u^{4}\cdot v^{-1}\cdot z^{3}$ , h) $\frac{(x+4)\cdot (x+2)}{3\cdot (x-5)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We proceed to solve each equation by algebraic means:

g) $\frac{u^{5}\cdot v}{z}\div \frac{u\cdot v^{2}}{z^{4}}$

1) $\frac{u^{5}\cdot v}{z}\div \frac{u\cdot v^{2}}{z^{4}}$ Given

2) $\frac{\frac{u^{5}\cdot v}{z} }{\frac{u\cdot v^{2}}{z^{4}} }$ Definition of division

3) $\frac{u^{5}\cdot v\cdot z^{4}}{u\cdot v^{2}\cdot z}$ $\frac{\frac{a}{b} }{\frac{c}{d} } = \frac{a\cdot d}{b\cdot c}$

4) $\left(\frac{u^{5}}{u} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{v}{v^{2}} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{z^{4}}{z} \right)$ Associative property

5) $u^{4}\cdot v^{-1}\cdot z^{3}$ $\frac{a^{m}}{a^{n}} = a^{m-n}$ /Result

h) $\frac{x^{2}-16}{x^{2}-10\cdot x + 25} \div \frac{3\cdot x - 12}{x^{2}-3\cdot x -10}$

1) $\frac{x^{2}-16}{x^{2}-10\cdot x + 25} \div \frac{3\cdot x - 12}{x^{2}-3\cdot x -10}$ Given

2) $\frac{\frac{x^{2}-16}{x^{2}-10\cdot x+25} }{\frac{3\cdot x - 12}{x^{2}-3\cdot x - 10} }$ Definition of division

3) $\frac{(x^{2}-16)\cdot (x^{2}-3\cdot x -10)}{(x^{2}-10\cdot x + 25)\cdot (3\cdot x - 12)}$ $\frac{\frac{a}{b} }{\frac{c}{d} } = \frac{a\cdot d}{b\cdot c}$

4) $\frac{(x+4)\cdot (x-4)\cdot (x-5)\cdot (x+2)}{3\cdot (x-5)^{2}\cdot (x-4) }$ Factorization/Distributive property

5) $\left(\frac{1}{3} \right)\cdot (x+4)\cdot (x+2)\cdot \left(\frac{x-4}{x-4} \right)\cdot \left[\frac{x-5}{(x-5)^{2}} \right]$ Modulative and commutative properties/Associative property

6) $\frac{(x+4)\cdot (x+2)}{3\cdot (x-5)}$ $\frac{a^{m}}{a^{n}} = a^{m-n}$ / $\frac{a}{b}\times \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a\cdot c}{b\cdot d}$ /Definition of division/Result
