Answer:

parenthesis can be used to showthe order of what operations happen and the order they happen in, it helps break up confusion aswell that may occur within the equation

Answer:

Parentheses are important because they determine the order and priority of the operations.

Step-by-step explanation:

Parentheses when performing addition, subtraction, division or multiplication operations play a very important role. They tell us in which order we should go solving each of those operations.

If we do not respect this order, we can make the mistake of reaching an erroneous result.

The main thing is to always solve each parenthesis so that in the end everything is free to carry out the corresponding additions or subtractions.

The first term of an arithmetic sequence is -2. The eighth term of the sequence is 26. What is the common difference of the arit

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

d = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The n th term of an arithmetic sequence is

$a_{n}$ = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Given a₁ = - 2 and a₈ = 26 , then

- 2 + 7d = 26 ( add 2 to both sides (

7d = 28 ( divide both sides by 7 )

d = 4

For a moving object, the force acting on the object varies directly with the object's acceleration. When a force of 20 N acts on

jeka94

The acceleration of the object will be 10 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

Direct variation is a relationship between two variables that can be expressed by an equation in which one variable is equal to a constant times the other

If y varies directly with x, then y ∝ x
y = k x, where k is the constant of variation

For a moving object, the force acting on the object varies directly with the object's acceleration.

Assume that the force is F and the acceleration is a

∵ F ∝ a

∴ F = k a

∵ F = 20 newtons

∵ a = 4 m/s²

- Substitute these values in the equation above to find k

∵ 20 = k (4)

∴ 20 = 4 k

- Divide both sides by 4

∴ k = 5

- Substitute the value of k in the equation

∴ F = 5 a ⇒ equation of variation

∵ F = 50 Newtons

∵ F = 5 a

∴ 50 = 5 a

- Divide both sides by 5

∴ 10 = a

∴ a = 10 m/s²

The acceleration of the object will be 10 m/s²

Hem dibuixat tres rectangles. En el primer, la llargada mesura 3 cm més que l'amplada. El segon i tercer rectangle tenen unes di

quester [9]

Resposta:

Primer rectangle:

Amplada = 11

Longitud = 14

Segon rectangle:

Amplada = 12

Longitud = 15

Tercer rectangle:

Amplada = 13

Longitud = 16

Explicació pas a pas:

Donat que:

Primer rectangle:

Amplada = x

Longitud = x + 3

2n rectangle:

Augment de la dimensió d'1 cm respecte al primer rectangle;

Amplada = x + 1

Longitud = x + 4

3r rectangle:

Augment de la dimensió de 2 cm respecte al primer rectangle;

Amplada = x + 2

Longitud = x + 5

Suma dels tres perímetres del rectangle:

Perímetre d'un rectangle: 2 (l + O)

Primer rectangle:

2 (x + x + 3) = 2 (2x + 3) = 4x + 6

2n:

2 (x + 1 + x + 4) = 2 (2x + 5) = 4x + 10

3r:

2 (x + 2 + x + 5) = 2 (2x + 7) = 4x + 14

Suma de perímetres = 162

(4x + 6 + 4x + 10 + 4x + 14) = 162

12x + 30 = 162

12x = 162 - 30

12x = 130

x = 11

Per tant,

Primer rectangle:

Amplada = 11

Longitud = 11 + 3 = 14

2n rectangle:

Amplada = 11 + 1 = 12

Longitud = 11 + 4 = 15

3r rectangle:

Amplada = 11 + 2 = 13

Longitud = 11 + 5 = 16
