It represents the value of the expression when the variable (t) is zero.

_____

If this is supposed to be an expression for ballistic motion, the constant could represent the initial height of the object in feet. There is nothing in your problem statement indication what this expression is suppose to represent. It could be pennies of profit for selling t trinkets, for all we know—where the constant term represents some initial balance you have before you sell any.

It can represent many things depending on what context the expression is used in. Most commonly, the constant term represents the y-intercept of the expression when it is graphed e.g. the graph of y = -16t² - 8t + 24 has a y-intercept of 24.

It can also represent the initial value if the expression is used in a word problem context

Solve the following compound inequality <br> 12 &lt; 2x-4/3 &lt; 16 <br> step by step
motikmotik

Answer:

x∈(20/3;26/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

12 < 2x-4/3 < 16

first we add 4/3 to each side

12+4/3<2x<16+4/3

we bring to the same denominator

12*3/3+4/3<2x<16*3/3+4/3

(36+4)/3<2x<(48+4/3)

40/3<2x<52/3

now we divide by 2

20/3<x<26/3

x∈(20/3;26/3)

What is the perimeter of a rectangle with an area of 2x^2+11x+5 in^2?​
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

6x + 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = side x side

Factor the quadratic:

2x^2 +10x / +1x +5

2x(x+5) 1 (x+5)

(2x + 1) (x+5)

^These are your two sides

Perimeter =2L + 2W

(2(2x+1)) + (2(x+5))

4x+4+2x+10 = final answer 6x + 14

Using a graphical method, solve the simultaneous equations x+y =4 and y=2x+1
adoni [48]

Answer:

(1, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

x+y = 4 ... 1

y = 2x+1 ....2

Substitute equation 2 into 1

x + (2x+1) = 4

3x + 1 = 4

3x = 4-1

x = 3/3

x = 1

Since y = 2x + 1

y = 2(1) + 1

y = 3

Hence the solution to the equation is (1,3). This means that the coordinate point on the graph where both lines intersect will be at (1, 3)

What is the measure of Angle<br> 1 and Angle 2?
Oksanka [162]
The measure of angle 1 would be (3x+2) and the measure of angle 2 would be (5x+10). There is no way to determine the exact degrees of these angles because not enough information is given.

Points (−3, 5) and (3, 5) on the coordinate grid below show the positions of two players on a tennis court:
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

4.  Player 2's position is Player 1's position reflected across the y-axis; only the signs of the x-coordinates of Player 1 and Player 2 are different.

Step-by-step explanation:

Player 1's position is (-3, 5).

It means that it is 3 units left from the origin and 5 units above the origin.

Player 2's position is (3, 5).

It means that it is 3 units right from the origin and 5 units above the origin.

Hence, the two points are on the same horizontal line bisected by the y-axis.

So, Player 2's position is Player 1's position reflected across the y-axis; only the signs of the x-coordinates of Player 1 and Player 2 are different.
