Multiplying positive numbers always comes out positive, no matter how many there are. So you can forget about the positive ones.
Every two negative numbers in a multiplication produce a positive.
Another way to say that is: If the number of negative ones is EVEN,
the answer is positive, and if it's ODD, the answer is negative.
That monster product of eight numbers in problem #12 will be negative,
because there are an odd amount of negative factors in it.
Answer:
The first term is 42.
Step-by-step explanation:
The common difference is 142 - 140 = 2 so we have
50th term = a1 + 2(50 -1) = 140 where a1 is the first term
a1 + 98 = 140
a1 = 140 - 98 = 42.
Answer:
m= 4.5 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of miles Evelyn can run be m and can be modeled by the equation below
m= kx
Where x Is the Minutes
When m= 3
x= 40
3= k40
k= 3/40
If x= 60
m=3/40(60)
m = (60*3)/40
m= 180/40
m= 4.5 miles
This question requires creating a few equations and working through them step-by-step. Now, first let's give each of the shapes a variable: let's say that the blue shape is a, the orange shape is b and the green shape is c.
1. We can technically create six formulas for the magic square, with three for sum of the rows and three for the sum of the columns, however the smartest way to approach this is to observe whether there are any obvious answers that we can get.
We can see in row 2 that there are three of the same shape (a) that add to 57. This makes it very simple to calculate the value of the shape.
Since 3a = 57
a = 57/3 = 19
2. Now we need to find a row or column that includes a and one other shape; we could choose either column 2 or 3, so let's go with column 2. Remembering that the blue shape is a and the orange shape is b:
2a + b = 50
Now, given that a = 19:
2(19) + b = 50
38 + b = 50
b = 12
3. We can now take any of the rows or columns that include the third shape (c) since we already know the values of the other two shapes. Let's take column 1:
a + b + c = 38
19 + 12 + c = 38
31 + c = 38
c = 38 - 31
c = 7
Thus, the value of the blue shape is 19, the value of the orange shape is 12 and the value of the green shape is 7.
In a function, you need to substitute your input value for x in order to get your output. For example, if you have the function f(x)=3x, and your input value is 3, you have to substitute in 3 for x. In this case, 3 x 3 is equal to 9, therefore, your output for 3 in this function is 9. Keep in mind that the output always changes between equations.
