What is a better price 16 pencils for $2.78 or 26 pencils for $3.99

2 answers:

8 0

26 pencils for 3.99,because 2.78 / 16 = 0.17,while 3.99 / 26 = 0.15. The reason the smaller answer is correct is because they represent the cost for each pencil.

Find the slope of the given line, if it is defined.

il63 [147K]

Answer: A. The slope is $-\dfrac{4}{3}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line helps to specify the direction of the line.

The slope of a line that passes through (a,b) and (c,d) is given by :-

$\text{Slope}=\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}$

Then the slope of a line passes through origin i.e. (0,0) and (-9,12) is given by :-

$\text{Slope}=\dfrac{12-0}{-9-0}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Slope}=\dfrac{12}{-9}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Slope}=-\dfrac{4}{3}$

Hence, the slope is $-\dfrac{4}{3}$ .

(ab^2 x -b^4a^3)^2 What is the answers

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

$\left(ab^2x-b^4a^3\right)^2:\quad a^2b^4x^2-2a^4b^6x+a^6b^8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

$\left(ab^2\:x\:-b^4a^3\right)^2$

solving the expression

$\left(ab^2\:x\:-b^4a^3\right)^2$

$\mathrm{Apply\:Perfect\:Square\:Formula}:\quad \left(a-b\right)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2$

$a=ab^2x,\:\:b=b^4a^3$

so the expression becomes

$=\left(ab^2x\right)^2-2ab^2xb^4a^3+\left(b^4a^3\right)^2$

$=a^2b^4x^2-2a^4b^6x+a^6b^8$

Thus,

$\left(ab^2x-b^4a^3\right)^2:\quad a^2b^4x^2-2a^4b^6x+a^6b^8$

Are these lines parallel perpendicular or neither

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

start but putting each line into the standard line format

2x-y=-5

-y=-2x-5

y=2x+5

x+2y=-6

2y=-x-6

y=-(1/2)x-3

if lines are parallel the slopes would be the same. 2 is not equal to -1/2

if lines are perpendicular the slope of one would be the opposite inverse of the other.

negative inverse of 2 = - (1/2)

so the lines are perpendicular

Two complementary angles are represented by x and x+14 . find the value of x

qaws [65]

Answer:

$x=38\textdegree$

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that complementary angles always add up to 90°.

We know that the two complementary angles are represented by (x) and (x+14). In other words:

$(x)+(x+14)=90$

So, let's solve for x.

First, combine like terms:

$2x+14=90$

Let's isolate the x by subtracting 14 from both sides:

$(2x+14)-14=(90)-14$

The left cancels. Subtract on the right:

$2x=76$

Divide both sides by 2:

$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{76}{2}$

The left side cancels. Divide on the right:

$x=38\textdegree$

So, the value of x is 38°.

And we're done!
