What would the world problem " the quotient of a number decreased by 7 and negative 2 is negative 10 " be as an equation?

Answer:

\frac{x-7}{-2}=-10

Explanation:

A quotient of two numbers is a fraction with the first number being in the numerator (top) and the other number in the denominator (bottom). The statement calls for a "number" decreased by 7. That number is unknown but we have to give it a name, so, for example, "x." Therefore (x-7) is in the numerator. Negative 2, or -2 is "the other number" of the quotient and so it is in the denominator. Finally, the quotient is supposed to equal negative 10, or "=-10" which is the right-hand side, completing the equation.

For your interest, if you solve the equation, you will get x = 27, and you can check that the equation holds. "27 decreased by 7, divided by -2 equals -10."

Answer:

The area of the rectangle <em>TOUR</em> is 80.00 unit².

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is computed using the formula:

Area\ of\ a\ Rectangle=length\times width

Since the dimensions of the rectangle are not provided we can compute the dimensions using the distance formula for two points.

The distance formula using the two point is:

distance=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}}

Considering the rectangle <em>TOUR</em> the area formula will be:

Area of Rectangle <em>TOUR</em> = <em>TO × OU</em>

The co-ordinates of the four vertices of a triangle are:

T = (-8, 0), O = (4, 4), U = (6, -2) and R = (-6, -6)

Compute the distance between the vertices <em>T</em> and <em>O</em> as:

TO=\sqrt{(4-(-8))^{2}+(4-0)^{2}}\\=\sqrt{12^{2}+4^{2}} \\=\sqrt{160} \\=4\sqrt{10}

Compute the distance between the vertices <em>O </em>and <em>U</em> as:

OU=\sqrt{(6-4)^{2}+(-2-4)^{2}}\\=\sqrt{2^{2}+6^{2}} \\=\sqrt{40} \\=2\sqrt{10}

Compute the area of rectangle TOUR as follows:

Area\ of\ TOUR=TO\times OU\\=4\sqrt{10}\times 2\sqrt{10}\\=80\\\approx80.00 unit^{2}

Thus, the area of the rectangle <em>TOUR</em> is 80.00 unit².

How would you describe domain
irina [24]

Answer:

The domain represents the x-axis, more specifically, what is happening on the x-axis. So when looking at a graph, if you are asked to find the domain think about what the x-axis looks like. I put an image in to show you an example of what the domain would be for a parabola:

So on the left side of the x-axis, we can see that the line stretches out into negative infinity, so the domain would begin at negative infinity.

On the right side of the x-axis, the parabola also stretches into positive infinity, so here the domain would be (negative infinity, positive infinity), because it goes to both ends forever.

Answer:12,000

Step-by-step explanation:

.05*30,000=1,500

1,500*12=18,000

30,000-18,000=12,000
