Yes. Let's look at PEMDAS. Parentheses, Exponents, <em>Multiplication</em>, <em>Addition</em>, Subtraction. As we can see, multiplication comes first. In -2 + 3x, reading it from left to right, we see the addition symbol first, but because we're supposed to do multiplication, we have to do the 3x first. The same goes for 3x + (-2).

Yes. The two expressions -2 + 3x and 3x + (-2) are equivalent.


Hope this explanation helped you out. :)

The point (-7,4) in on the terminal side of an angle t. Find sec (t) to two decimal places.
Sliva [168]

Answer:

  -1.15

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent of the angle can be found as ...

  tan(t) = (y-coordinate)/(x-coordinate) = -4/7

The secant of the angle is related by ...

  sec(t)² = tan(t)² +1 = (-4/7)² +1 = 65/49

Then the secant of this 2nd-quadrant angle is ...

  sec(t) = -√(65/49) = -(√65)/7 ≈ -1.15

Question 3(Multiple Choice Worth 2 points)
vodomira [7]

Answer:

y = \frac{4}{3} x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

4x - 3y = 12 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

- 3y = - 4x + 12 ( divide terms by - 3 )

y = \frac{4}{3} - 4 ← in the form y = mx + b

A Relation Is Shown In The Graph Below. Write Out The Ordered Pairs For The Inverse, And Determine If The Inverse Is A Function
Alexus [3.1K]
The 2nd selection is correct.

_____
If your relation has some point (x1, y1), the inverse relation has the point (y1, x1). For example, one of the points of your relation is (-1, 0), so (0, -1) will be a point in the inverse relation.

A relation is a function if it does not contain two or more points with the same x-value.

(The relation shown in the graph is NOT a function, but its inverse relation IS a function.)

When Adrian runs the 400 meter dash, his finishing times are normally distributed with a mean of 77 seconds and a standard devia
iragen [17]

Answer:

0.749

Step-by-step explanation:

We start by calculating the z-score

Mathematically:

z-score = (x-mean)/SD

z-score = (75-77)/3 = -2/3 = -0.67

The probability we want to calculate is;

P( X > -0.67)

we can use the standard normal distribution table for this

Using this table, the probability has a value 0.74857 which is 0.749 to the nearest thousandth
