Question:

Expand and simplify 5(x - 1) - 3(x + 4)

Answer:

1.) Use the distributive property to solve this equation:

5(x - 1) = 5x - 5

3(x + 4) = 3x + 12

2.) Put it in the equation:

5x - 5 - 3x + 12

3.) Group them:

5x - 3x - 5 + 12

4.) Simplify:

2x - 7
which is the answer.

Hope this helped! :))

So first it’s 5x-5-3x-12( got this using distributive property)
Now we simplify by combining like terms so 5x-3x=2x
And -5-12=-17
Ending to be 2x-17

Consider the function below. f(x)= x^3 + 2x^2 - x - 2 plot the x and y intercepts of the function

dimulka [17.4K]

In the Figure below is shown the graph of this function. We have the following function:

$f(x)=x^3+2x^2-x-2$

The $y-intercept$ occurs when $x=0$ , so:

$f(0)=(0)^3+2(0)^2-(0)-2=-2$

Therefore, the $y-intercept$ is the given by the point:

$\boxed{(0,-2)}$

From the figure we have three $x-intercepts$ :

$\boxed{P_{1}(-2,0)} \\ \boxed{P_{2}(-1,0)} \\ \boxed{P_{3}(1,0)}$

So, the $x-intercepts$ occur when $y=0$ . Thus, proving this:

$f(x)=x^3+2x^2-x-2 \\ \\ For \ P_{1}:\\ If \ x=-2, \ y=(-2)^3+2(-2)^2-(-2)-2=0 \\ \\ For \ P_{2}:\\ If \ x=-1, \ y=(-1)^3+2(-1)^2-(-1)-2=0 \\ \\ For \ P_{3}:\\ If \ x=1, \ y=(1)^3+2(1)^2-(1)-2=0$

Help! I'm so confused

sweet-ann [11.9K]

An integer is like a whole number (28 is an integer).
Irrational means the decimal goes on forever.......and cannot be written as a fraction (0.9857... is irrational).
A number that is not real is the squareroot of a negative, or something times i, or dividing by zero (5/0 is unreal).
A rational number can be written as a fraction (like 8 and 1/7).

Identify the volume of the composite figure rounded to the nearest tenth. HELP PLEASE!!

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

V = 115.3 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

The left part of the figure shows a cube of side length 4.2 ft. The volume of a cube is V = s³, where s is the side length. Hence, the volume of this particular cube is V = (4.2 ft)³ = 74.088.

The volume of a pyramid is V = (1/3)(base area)(height).

Here V = (1/3)(4.2 ft)²(7 ft) = 41.16 ft³.

Summing up the two distinct areas, we get V = 41.16 ft³ + 74.088 ft³, or

V = 115.3 ft³ after rounding up to the nearest tenth.
