Answer:
(3X8) - 4 + 2 - 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Following the order of operations solve:
(24) - 4 + 2 - 12
20 + 2 - 12
22 - 12
10
Don't feel bad, this is an odd question and the parenthesis do not seem to be required. Following the order of operations would result in the same answer anyway...
Odd.
Answer:
The correct option is B
(-1)(1/2)(-1)(1)
Step-by-step explanation:
First thing to notice is that there is are two brackets with negative values, which means that the result must also be positive (or have two brackets with negative values).
Looking at the options, we can screen out options A and D, they have three brackets with negative values, and can't be chosen.
It is now between options B and C.
Option B, by inspection is simply 1/2
Option C is 12/4 = 3
The problem itself is 12/35
12/24 = 1/2
12/36 = 1/3
Since 12/35 is about 1/3, it is closer to 1/2 than 3, so 1/2 is the best option.
Answer:
11/5 slope
Step-by-step explanation:
5-(-6) -4-(-9)
11/ 5
Answer:
(a) yes
(b) no; see below
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) Integer roots of the quartic will be integer divisors of 6. One of the divisors of 6 is 3, so 3 is a possible root.
(b) In order for 3 to be a double root, it would have to be a double factor of 6. The only integer factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3, 6. (3² = 9 is not one.)
___
The quartic can be written as ...
k(x -a)(x -b)(x -c)(x -d) . . . . . where a, b, c, d, k are integers
The constant term will be kabcd, of which each of the roots is a factor. If the constant is 6 and one root is d=3, then we must have
kabcd = 3kabc = 6
kabc = 6/3 = 2
Among these four integer factors, there must be an even number of minus signs, and one that has the value ±2. Another root whose value is 3 will not satisfy the requirements.
