Glad I can help you!!

Answer:

Definition: The associative property states that you can add or multiply regardless of how the numbers are grouped. By 'grouped' we mean 'how you use parenthesis'. In other words, if you are adding or multiplying it does not matter where you put the parenthesis.

The word "commutative" comes from "commute" or "move around", so the Commutative Property is the one that refers to moving stuff around. For addition, the rule is "a + b = b + a"; in numbers, this means 2 + 3 = 3 + 2. For multiplication, the rule is "ab = ba"; in numbers, this means 2×3 = 3×2.

If satisfied please leave a review and feel free to give me brainiest.

Can a triangle be formed with the sides lengths of 7 cm, 5 cm and 12 cm?
laiz [17]

Answer:

NO because 7+5=12

The sum must be larger (not equal to) the longest side. If it's exactly the same, there's no room to for the shorter two sides to angle up to form a triangle.

I would say its 3/4 because there was only one blue and all together there is 4 now and the probability of picking a purple should be 3 out of 4.

Write the quadratic equation whose roots are 2 and -4 and whose leading coefficient is 2
Goryan [66]

Answer:

2x^2+4x-16

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic can be written as

f(x) = a(x-z1)(x-z2) where z1 and z2 are the roots

f(x) = a (x-2)(x- -4)

a is the leading coefficient

f(x) = 2(x-2)(x+4)

     = 2(x^2 -2x+4x-8)

     = 2(x^2 +2x-8)

     = 2x^2 +4x-16
