Because like terms you add or subtract together to make it easier to do the problem. just like you do with whole numbers. you add an subtract to make the answer simpler.

Adding and subtracting like terms is the same as adding and subtracting of numbers, i.e., natural numbers, whole numbers and integers. So, the sum and the difference of several like terms is another like term whose coefficient is the sum and the difference of the coefficient of several like terms.

hope this helped:)

A mountain is in the shape of a cone whose height is about 3.7 kilometers and whose base radius is about 3 kilometers. Approxima
Lelu [443]

Answer:

34.54 km^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,

Height (h) = 3.7 km

Base radius (r) = 3 km

We can calculate the volume of mountain by using following formula,

So, volume of cone = (1/3)πr^{2}h

By putting the value in the formula, we get

= (1/3) π × 3^{2} × 3.7

= 11.1π

= 34.54 km^{3}

Hence, the volume of the mountain is  34.54 km^{3}.

What’s is part A?? .....
bixtya [17]

Answer:

A. 3

B. 4

C. 1

D. 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider all equations:

A. y=x^2 -6x+8

This is the equation of parabola with vertex at point

x_v=\dfrac{-b}{2a}=\dfrac{-(-6)}{2\cdot 1}=3\\ \\y_v=3^2-6\cdot 3+8=9-18+8=-1

The y-intercept is at point

x=0\\ \\y=0^2-6\cdot 0+8=8

Since

x^2 -6x+8=x^2-4x-2x+8=x(x-4)-2(x-4)=(x-2)(x-4),

the x-intercepts are at points (2,0) and (4,0)

The leading coefficient is 1 > 0, then the parabola opens upwards.

Hence, the graph of this parabola is 3.

B. y=(x-6)(x+8)

This parabola has two x-intercepts at points (6,0) and (-8,0).

The leading coefficient is 1 > 0, then the parabola opens upwards.

The only possible choice is parabola 4.

C. y=(x-6)^2+8

This parabola has the vertex at point (6,8), opens upwards, therefore does not intersect the x-axis.

The graph of this parabola is 1.

D. y=-(x+8)(x-6)

This parabola has two x-intercepts at points (6,0) and (-8,0).

The leading coefficient is -1 > 0, then the parabola opens downwards.

The only possible choice is parabola 2.
