Simplify the following: (r+s-t)-(r-s+t)

Mathematics
1 answer:

R+s-t-(r-s+t)

=2s-t is the answer



People think this answer would be just =2s but I have verified with an online calculator and the answer that textbooks look for regarding this is 2s-t

You would assume you would go r-r and thats 0 so no r's

you would say s-(-s) makes it plus and theres 2s

and you would say -t -(+t) is -t 

that's why the answer is 2s-t

At first I also did t-(+t) and thought it would be no t's but the answer is in fact 2s-t

Which of the following represents the zeros of f(x) = x3 − 11x2 + 38x − 40?
Delvig [45]
The answer is <span>5, 4, 2
</span>
Among all choices we have 5, so
x = 5
x - 5 = 0
Let's divide the expression by (x - 5) using the long division:
                          x³ - 11x² + 38x - 40
(x - 5)  * x² =      x³ - 5x²                   Subtract
____________________________
                              -6x² + 38x - 40
   (x - 5) * (-6x) =    -6x² + 30x          Subtract
____________________________
                                           8x - 40
                    (x - 5) * 8 =     8x - 40   Sutract
____________________________
                                              0

Thus: x³ - 11x² + 38x - 40 = (x - 5)(x² - 6x + 8)

Now, let's simplify x² - 6x + 8.

x² - 6x + 8 = x² - 2x - 4x + 8 =
                  = x² - 2*x - (4*x - 4*2) = 
                  = x(x - 2) - 4(x - 2) =
                  = (x - 4)(x - 2)

Hence:
x³ - 11x² + 38x - 40 = (x - 5)(x - 4)(x - 2)
To calculate zero:
x³ - 11x² + 38x - 40 = 0
(x - 5)(x - 4)(x - 2) = 0
x - 5 = 0            or             x - 4 = 0              or      x - 2 = 0
x = 5                 or              x = 4                   or      x = 2

A raft and a motorboat simultaneously leave from the same point and move down the river. After 2 hours the motorboat turns aroun
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x mph be the speed of motorboat in still water and y mph be the speed of current.

A raft and a motorboat simultaneously leave from the same point and move down the river, then speeds down the river are:

        motorboat =  x + y mph

        raft = y mph

In two hours they will cover:

        motorboat = 2(x+y) miles

        raft = 2y miles

After 2 hours the motorboat turns around and starts moving towards the raft (against the current), so its speed is now x - y mph.

Let t be the time they move towards each other. In t hours, they cover

        motorboat = t(x - y) miles

        raft = ty miles

The distance from the starting point to the turning point is the same as the sum of the distances the raft covers and the motorboat covers after turning around, so

2(x+y)=2y+t(x-y)+ty \\ \\2x+2y=2y+tx-ty+ty\\ \\2x=tx\\ \\t=2\ hours
