Below is the solution:

There are two equations to be solved here.  The first one we assign variables to the home runs Peter hits, P, and Alice hits, A. P=2*(A-6) The second equation is the sum of both players home runs.P + A = 18Solving for P yieldsP=18-A We substitute the solution for P into the first equation and solve for A.(18-A) = 2*(A-6)18 - A = 2A - 123A = 30A = 10 Now that A is known, we can plug it into either equations for P to find how many home runs Peter hitsP=18 - (10) = 8orP=2((10)-4) = 8

Simplify the expressions and evaluate for (i) y = -2, (ii) y = 3.<br> 3y (2y-7) - 3 (y - 4) - 63
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Simplified expression is 6y² - 24y - 51. Value for y=-2 is 21 and value for y=3 is  -69.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Given expression is 3y(2y-7) - 3(y - 4) - 63. Simplify it.

⇒ 6y² - 21y - 3y + 12 - 63

⇒ 6y² - 24y - 51

  • Step 2: Find value of the expression for y = -2

⇒ 6y² - 24y - 51 = 6(-2)² - 24(-2) - 51 = 24 + 48 - 51 = 21

  • Step 3: Find value of the expression for y = 3

⇒ ⇒ 6y² - 24y - 51 = 6(3)² - 24(3) - 51 = 54 - 72 - 51 = -69

Which of the following would be an acceptable first step in simplifying the expression (sinx)/(1 + sinx) ?. A.1/(cscx + sinx). B
Alex73 [517]
We are given with the function <span>(sinx)/(1 + sinx). To simplify the equation, we multiply the denominator with its conjugate. Hence the expression becomes (</span>sinx)(1-sin x )/(1 + <span>sinx)(1-sin x). Then we convert the expression into </span>(<span>sinx)(1-sin x )/ cos^2 x. Using trigonometric functions, we can then simplify the expression.</span>

What is the completely factored form of f(x) = 6x3 – 13x2 – 4x + 15?
masya89 [10]

We have to determine the complete factored form of the given polynomial

f(x)=6x^3-13x^2-4x+15.

Let x= -1 in the given polynomial.

So, f(-1)= 6(-1)^3-13(-1)^2-4(-1)+15 = -6-13+4+15 = 0

So, by factor theorem

(x+1) is a factor of the given polynomial.

So, dividing the given polynomial by (x+1), we get quotient as 6x^2-19x+15.

So, 6x^3-13x^2-4x+15 = (x+1)6x^2-19x+15.

= (x+1)(6x^2-10x-9x+15)

=(x+1)[ 2x(3x-5)-3(3x-5)]

= (x+1)(2x-3)(3x-5) is the completely factored form of the given polynomial.

Option D is the correct answer.

You want to convert 1 kg to milligrams. You already know that 1 kg equals 1000 g explain how knowing that 1 gram equals 1000 mg
butalik [34]
1 kg=1000g*1000mg/1g=1000000mg =10⁶ mg
or you can use proportion

1000g - x mg
1 g     -1000mg
x=1000*1000=1000000mg 

1kg=10⁶ mg
