<h2>Answer:</h2>

The simplified form is $2 x-13$

<h2>Given: </h2>

$(8 x-7)+(-2 x-9)-(4 x-3)$

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

From question, we need to find the simplified form of the given expression which means we need to make the expression more understandable.

The expression contains ‘x’ which is a variable whose values will change according to the set of given conditions. The variable can be symbols or letters. The values of the variable will be calculated with the value of the constants whose value never changes with the problem.

Now, we need to multiply the signs within the brackets,

$\Rightarrow 8 x-7-2 x-9-4 x+3$

Now, on adding and subtracting,

$\therefore 2 x-13$

Answer:

The answer to your question is: 2x -13

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplified (8x − 7) + (-2x − 9) − (4x − 3)

8x - 7 - 2x - 9 - 4x + 3

Simplified like terms 8x - 2x - 4x - 7 - 9 + 3

2x -13

Which of the following is an even function

nata0808 [166]

An even function is a function where positive and negative values of x give you the same result.

Where f(2) = f(-2) and f(3) = f(-3)

To formally check it, you need to evaluate f(-x) and see if you get the original function back.

Graphically, an even function is symmetrical over the y-axis.

The only graph here that does all of that is f(x) = |x|

Which of the relations given by the following sets of ordered pairs is a function?

solniwko [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this by using the vertical line test. When you do the vertical line test, the vertical line should only pass through one point on the function. That means that there can to be only one value of x for every y. Set B is the only set where the x value doesn't repeat.

2. An arc is a smooth piece of a circle. A major arc of a circle is an arc that is

Maru [420]

Answer: Major arc = ∅/360 (2πr)

Step-by-step explanation: Just as the question stated, an arc is a smooth piece of a circle. Simply put, it is a portion of the entire circumference. The arc is usually bounded by an angle at the center of the circle (very similar to a slice of pizza). Using a slice of pizza as a classic example, the outer edge where the slice is pulled out from is the length of the arc, while the angle at the tip which is pulled out from the center is the angle that encloses the arc.

Just as a slice of pizza is a minor part of the whole shape, in the same way an arc is a minor part of a circle. However, to calculate the length of the arc, the angle at the center which encloses the arc must be given and the radius of the circle must also be given.

If an arc runs around a circle and turns out to be longer than half of the entire length of the circumference, it is labelled as a major arc. Basically, the formula for calculating the length of an arc is the same for either a minor or a major arc.

Therefore, to calculate the length of an arc, you would need to find the proportion of the circle represented by the arc and that can be calculated by dividing the angle binding the arc by 360 (size of an angle at a point equals 360 degrees). So, if the angle that encloses the arc is 60 degrees for example, then the portion of the circle taken by the arc is given as

60/360

This means the length of the arc (which is a portion of the entire circumference) can be determined by multiplying the portion of the central angle by the entire length of the circumference.

Therefore you can calculate the measure of major arc ABC by applying the formula

Length of an arc = ∅/360 (2πr)

Where ∅ is the angle enclosing the arc at the center of the circle

r is the radius of the circle and

π is usually given as 3.14 (or 22/7)

Please note that for a major arc, the value of ∅ would be greater than 180°. The measurement used in the explanation above is just an example for the sake of ease of explanation.

And where the only the angle measure of the minor arc is given, the angle measure of the major arc can be derived as 360 - angle of minor arc. That is;

Angle of major arc = 360 - angle of minor arc
