Solve: −3(5+8x)−20≤−11

1 answer:

3 0

-3(5 + 8x) - 20 ≤ -11 |use distributive property: a(b + c) = ab + ac

-15 - 24x - 20 ≤ -11

-35 - 24x ≤ -11 |add 35 to both sides

-24x ≤ 24 |change signs

24x ≥ -24 |divide both sides by 24

x ≥ -1

(a) Calculate the vertical distance between the eagle and the seahorse.

Answer a: 11.38 meters is the vertical distance between them.

(b) Describe Adrian's position from the sea level.

Answer b: Adrian is 1.13m below the sea level.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Since sea level is the origin of coordinates. distances above sea level are positive and distances below sea level are negative. The distance between two points is the difference between them.

The vertical distance between the eagle and the seahorse is the difference between their positions:

Distance = 4.56m - (-6.82m) = 4.56m + 6.82m = 11.38 meters

Answer a) 11.38 meters is the vertical distance between them.

(b) Adrian's position is in the middle of the distance between the eagle and the seahorse:

Middle = 11.38m/2 = 5.69m

Since 5.69m is more than 4.56m above the sea level, then Adrian is below the sea level:

4.56m - 5.69m = -1.13m

Answer b: Adrian is 1.13m below the sea level.

What is Permutations and Combinations?

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Permutation is to select an object then arrange it and it cares about the orders while Combination is about only selecting an object without caring the orders.

Permutation can be expressed in math as:

$\displaystyle{_n P _r = \dfrac{n!}{(n-r)!} \ \ \ (n \geq r) }$

where n is a number of total object and r is a number of selected object to arrange. Hence. n cannot be less than r.

Now let's see an example of permutation, suppose we have letter A, B and C. I'd like to know how many ways these words can be arranged:

Since there are 3 letters total and 3 selected letters to arrange then:

$\displaystyle{_3 P _3 = \dfrac{3!}{(3-3)!}}\\\\\displaystyle{_3 P _3 = \dfrac{3 \times 2 \times 1}{0!}}\\\\\displaystyle{_3 P _3 = \dfrac{6}{1}}\\\\\displaystyle{_3 P _3 = 6}$

Therefore, there are 6 ways to arrange the letters - we can also demonstrate visually:

ABC - 1

ACB - 2

BAC - 3

BCA - 4

CAB - 5

CBA - 6

Notice that if you do visually, you'll get the same answer as the calculation of permutation!

----

Combination can be expressed mathematically as:

$\displaystyle{_n C _r = \dfrac{n!}{(n-r)!r!} = \dfrac{_n P _r}{r!} \ \ \ (n \geq r) }$

The difference between permutation and combination is that you only find how many ways you can select object in combination. Therefore, no arrange and doesn't care about order, just ways to select.

Suppose we have same 3 letters: A, B and C. I want to find how many ways I can select these 3 letters:

Since there are 3 letters total and 3 selected letters:

$\displaystyle{_3 C _3 = \dfrac{3!}{(3-3)!3!}}\\\\\displaystyle{_3 C _3 = \dfrac{3!}{0!3!}}\\\\\displaystyle{_3 C _3 = \dfrac{3!}{3!}}\\\\\displaystyle{_3 C _3 = 1}$

Hence, there is only one way to select 3 letters. This makes sense because if you have 3 letters then you can only select 3 letters only one way.

This is urgent, please answer!

Alex17521 [72]

1/2 = 0.5

12 & 1/2 = 12 + 1/2 = 12 + 0.5 = 12.5

4 & 1/2 = 4 + 1/2 = 4 + 0.5 = 4.5

Refer to the diagram below. Note how I divided the figure into two rectangles.

The larger red rectangle is 12.5 feet by 10 feet. It has area 12.5*10 = 125 square feet.

The smaller blue rectangle has dimensions 4.5 feet by 5 feet (the 5 is from 15-10 = 5), so it has area 4.5*5 = 22.5 square feet

Now add up those individual areas to get the total area

125+22.5 = 147.5

Then convert that to a mixed number

147.5 = 147 + 0.5 = 147 + 1/2 = 147 & 1/2

<h3>The correct area is 147 & 1/2 feet</h3>
