A malapropism occurs when two people use the same word to mean two different things

1 answer:

7 0

It is false that a malapropism occurs when two people use the same word to mean two different things.

A malapropism is the use of an incorrect word in place of a word with a similar sound, resulting in a nonsensical, sometimes humorous utterance.

An example of malapropism is, "Texas has a lot of electrical votes", rather than "electoral votes"

Find the equation of the line that is parallel to the line x + 5y = 10 and passes through the point (1, 3).

shusha [124]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange x + 5y = 10 into this form

Subtract x from both sides

5y = - x + 10 ( divide all terms by 5 )

y = - $\frac{1}{5}$ x +2 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - $\frac{1}{5}$

• Parallel lines have equal slopes, hence

y = - $\frac{1}{5}$ x + c ← is the partial equation of the parallel line

To find c substitute (1, 3) into the partial equation

3 = - $\frac{1}{5}$ + c ⇒ c = $\frac{16}{5}$

y = - $\frac{1}{5}$ x + $\frac{16}{5}$ ← equation of parallel line

Zepler [3.9K]

H(x)=5x+15+4x+20

if x=4, together it would be 5(4)+15+4(4)+20
h(x)=20+15+16+20=71
Divided by 2, they'd each get 35.5

If Frank worked alone, he'd get 5(4)+15= 35
He'd make more working together.

Use the x-intercept method to find all real solutions of the equation. -9x^3-72x^2+36=3x^3+x^2-3x+8

larisa86 [58]

-9x^3-72x^2+36=3x^3+x^2-3x+8 Add 9x^3 to both sides.

-72x^2 + 36 = 3x^3 + 9x^3 + x^2 - 3x + 8 Add 72x^2 to both sides

36 = 12x^3 + 73x^2 - 3x + 8 Subtract 36 from both sides.

0 = 12x^3 + 73x^2 - 3x - 28

It does factor, but it is not very nice.

(x + 6.06)(x - 6.09)(x + 0.632)
