6.5 + (−2) + 10.5 I could probably do this but its kind of hard to understand. Explain?

Hello! Let's work this problem from left to right to make things a bit easier ;)

6.5+(-2) is the same as 6.5-2, since adding a negative is the same as subtracting a positive. 6.5-2=4.5

Now, we have to add 10.5 to 4.5, which gives us the grand total of 15. I hope this helped! Let me know if you need anything else!

11. Find the coordinates of A' and B'if A (3,5) and B (-7, 3) undergo

NISA [10]

<h2>Answer: $(-3,-5),(7,-3)$ </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

If a point $(x,y)$ gets reflected about origin,the new point formed after reflection is $(-x,-y)$ .

Given that $A=(3,5)$ ,

So, $A'=(-3,-5)$

Given that $B=(-7,3)$ ,

So, $B'=(-(-7),-3)$ $=(7,-3)$

A 1400 kg car moving +13.7 m/s makes an elastic collision with a 3200 kg truck, initially at rest. What is the velocity of the c

Kamila [148]

Answer:

The velocity of the car after the collision is -5.36 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

An elastic collision is an encounter between two bodies in which the total kinetic energy of the two bodies remains the same.

let the following:

m₁ = mass of the car = 1400 kg

m₂ = mass of the truck = 3200 kg

u₁ = velocity of the car before collision = 13.7 m/s

u₂ = velocity of the truck before collision = 0 m/s

v₁ = velocity of the car after collision

v₂ = velocity of the truck after collision

v₁ = [ u₁ * (m₁ - m₂) + u₂ * 2m₂ ]/ (m₁ + m₂)

= [ 13.7 * (1400 - 3200) + 0 * 2 * 3200 ]/ (1400 + 3200)

= - 5.36 m/s

So, <u>the velocity of the car after the collision is -5.36 m/s</u>

If you have a cubic polynomial of the form y = ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d and lets say it passes through the points (2,28), (-1, -5),

nikklg [1K]

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Solve using the first point</u>

<em>(2, 28)</em>

$28 = a(2)^3 + b(2)^2 + c(2) + d$

$28 = 8a + 4b + 2c + d$

<u>Step 2: Solve using the second point</u>

<em>(-1, -5)</em>

$-5 = a(-1)^3 + b(-1)^2 + c(-1) + d$

$-5 = -a + b - c + d$

<u>Step 3: Solve using the third point</u>

<em>(4, 220)</em>

$220 = a(4)^3 + b(4)^2 + c(4) + d$

$220 = 64a + 16b + 4c + d$

<u>Step 4: Solve using the fourth point</u>

<em>(-2, -20)</em>

$-20 = a(-2)^3 + b(-2)^2 + c(-2) + d$

$-20 = -8a + 4b - 2c + d$

<u>Step 5: Combine the first and fourth equations</u>

<u /> $28 - 20 = 8a - 8a + 4b + 4b + 2c - 2c + d + d$

$8 = 8b + 2d$

$8 - 8b = 8b - 8b + 2d$

$(8 -8b)/2 = 2d/2$

$4 - 4b = d$

<u>Step 6: Solve for c in the second equation</u>

$-5 + 5 = -a + b - c + d + 5$

$0 + c = -a + b - c + c + d + 5$

$c = -a + b + d + 5$

<u>Step 7: Substitute d with the stuff we got in step 5</u>

$c = -a + b + (4 - 4b) + 5$

$c = -a + b + 4 - 4b + 5$

$c = -a - 3b + 9$

<u>Step 8: Substitute d and c into the first equation</u>

<u /> $28 = 8a + 4b + 2(-a - 3b + 9) + (4 - 4b)$

$28 = 8a + 4b - 2a - 6b + 18 + 4 - 4b$

$28 - 22 = 6a - 6b + 22 - 22$

$6 / 6 = (6a - 6b) / 6$

$1 + b = a - b + b$

$1 + b = a$

<u>Step 9: Substitute a, b, and c into the third equation</u>

$220 = 64(1 + b) + 16b + 4(-(1 + b) - 3b + 9) + (4 - 4b)$

$220 = 64 + 64b + 16b + 4(-1 - b - 3b + 9) + 4 - 4b$

$220 - 100 = 60b + 100 - 100$

$120 / 60 = 60b / 60$

$2 = b$

<u>Step 10: Find a using b = 2</u>

$a = b + 1$

$a = (2) + 1$

$a = 3$

<u>Step 11: Find c using a = 3 and b = 2</u>

$c = -a - 3b + 9$

$c = -(3) - 3(2) + 9$

$c = -3 - 6 + 9$

$c = 0$

<u>Step 12: Find d using b = 2</u>

$d = 4 - 4b$

$d = 4 - 4(2)$

$d = 4 - 8$

$d = -4$

Answer: $a = 3, b = 2, c = 0,d = -4$
