Answer:
First one Equivalent but not simplified fully (Can combine the two y terms)
Second: Equivalent but not simplified fully (Can combine the two x^2 terms)
Third: Equivalent and simplified fully
Fourth: Not equivalent (y term is not correct)
Fifth: Not equivalent (x^2 term is not correct and the constant terms [ones without variables] can be combined)
Sixth: Not Equivalent (y term is not correct and the constant terms can be combined)
Step-by-step explanation:
You just need to know if two terms have the same variable they can be added or subtracted. But if it is say x and x^2 it cannot, they need to be brought to the same power as well. or if there is a term with xy, it can only be added and subtracted to other xy terms
Answer:
x2-4
Step-by-step explanation:
If you have learned how to find the line of best fit manually, then you can do it that way. Perhaps you may want to just find a line that can connect at least two of the points and I believe that that line will be able to represent the other points because, in general, the points are pretty close to one another.
If you don't want to do it manually and have a graphing calculator (which I recommend) then you can use that to find the line of best fit (and if you want then you can see how precise your points are with your r^2 value). Or there is a website (http://illuminations.nctm.org/Activity.aspx?id=4186), which you can use to help you to find the equation of that particular line.
Once you have that done, then you can substitute 2009 for the x value in the equation and then see what y value the equation produces. That will then be your answer :)
Answer:
(3 7/8, -1 3/4)
Step-by-step explanation:
The midpoint is the average of the end point coordinates:
((5 1/2, -4 3/4) +(2 1/4, 1 1/4))/2
= (7 3/4, -3 1/2)/2 = (3 7/8, -1 3/4)
So distribute
2x+2+8=6
add like terms
2x+10=6
-10 -10
2x=-4
---------
2. 2
x=-2
