Translate the following word phrase into an algebraic expression 7 times the difference of Y and one

1 answer:

kramer3 years ago

To solve this problem, we just need to change the described expression into a numerical one.

Our answer is 7(y-1).

This is because the difference of y and 1 refers to the operation of subtraction, and this shows us that we need to subtract 1 from the value that is represented by y. The fact that it says 7 times the difference of y and 1 shows us that we must multiply the quantity y-1 and 7 (meaning we must perform the subtraction between y and 1 before the multiplication with 7). This is what indicates to us that we need parentheses, which allow us to perform this operation first, outlined by the rules of PEMDAS referring to the order of operations.

Hope this helps!

Does anyone get this!??

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

8

Discussion:

Let the number be "n". Then the question states that

3n - 15 = (n/2) + 5 => multiply both sides by 2

6n - 30 = n + 10 => subtract n from both sides

5n - 30 = 10 => add 30 to both sides

5n = 30 + 10 = 40 => divide both sides by 5

n = 40/5 = 8

Thank you,

Using a Line to Find a Point-Slope Equation and the Equivalent Function A coordinate grid with a line passing through the points

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

y = x/4 -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

given coordinates : ( -2, -1 ) and ( 2 , 0 )

gradient = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

= 0 - -1 / 2 - -2

= 1/4

equation of line:

y - y1 = m( x - x1 )

y - 0 = 1/4 ( x - 2 )

y = x/4 -1/2

the line shown below to confirm:

How do I solve the equation in an interval from 0 to 2π ? 9 cos 2t = 6

Ivahew [28]

$9\cos(2t)=6\implies\cos(2t)=\dfrac23$

Using the fact that cos is 2π-periodic, we have

$\cos(2t)=\dfrac23\implies2t=\cos^{-1}\left(\dfrac23\right)+2n\pi$

That is, $\cos(\theta+2n\pi)=\cos\theta$ for any $\theta$ and integer $n$ .

$\implies t=\dfrac12\cos^{-1}\left(\dfrac23\right)+n\pi$

We get 2 solutions in the interval [0, 2π] for $n=0$ and $n=1$ ,

$t=\dfrac12\cos^{-1}\left(\dfrac23\right)\text{ and }t=\dfrac12\cos^{-1}\left(\dfrac23\right)+\pi$
