Combing like terms is actually pretty simple. As long as you can do basic addition, multiplication, division, and subtraction, you should be fine. Like terms are two or more terms that have the same variable(s) -- sometimes like terms can be two or more regular numbers without variables as well. When combing like terms without a variable, just perform the operation as normal (i.e. 2 + 5 = 7). When combing like terms with a variable, perform the operation on the coefficients (i.e. 10x + 5x = (10+5)x = 15x). 

1) 12r - 8 - 12
Here the like terms are -8 and 12.
-8 - 12 = -20
<span>12r - 20
</span>
2) n - 10 + 9n - 3
Here the like terms are n and 9n and -10 and -3.
To make it easier you can reorder the expression to be n + 9n - 10 - 3.
n + 9n = (1 + 9)n = 10n
-10 - 3 = -13
<span>10n - 13
</span>
3) -4x - 10x
Here the like terms are the only two terms in the expression, -4x and -10x.
(-4 - 10)x = -14x
<span>-14x
</span>
4) -r - 10r
Here the like terms are the only two terms in the expression, -r and -10r.
(-1 - 10)r = -11
-11r

If the unit selling price is $2.50 and the unit cost is $1.00, what action is needed to maintain the gross margin percentage whe
harina [27]
Of course you need to know what "gross margin percentage" means. Roughly speaking it is the profit as a percentage of sale price. When a unit costs $1.00 and is sold at $2.50 the excess revenue is $1.50 Although we could express this profit margin as a FRACTION of the sale price, (so this would be 1.50/2.5 = 3/5), it is usual to state this as a PERCENTAGE. The gross margin percentage in the original case would be 100 * 3/5 = 60% Let cost price be c, sale price be s. Gross margin percentage g = 100* (s - c)/s Solving this for sale price s s = c/[1 - (g/100)] When unit cost increases $0.25 we have c = 1.25 so s = 1.25[1 - 0.6] = 1.25/0.4 = 3.1 Action needed to maintain the gross margin percentage is to increase selling price to $3.10

Is knowing the coordinates of the vertex of a parabola enough to determine the domain and range?
puteri [66]

The <em>correct answers</em> are:


C) No: we would need to know if the vertex is a minimum or a maximum; and

C)( 0.25, 5.875).


Explanation:


The domain of any quadratic function is all real numbers.


The range, however, would depend on whether the quadratic was open upward or downward. If the vertex is a maximum, then the quadratic opens down and the range is all values of y less than or equal to the y-coordinate of the vertex.


If the vertex is a minimum, then the quadratic opens up and the range is all values of y greater than or equal to the y-coordinate of the vertex.


There is no way to identify from the coordinates of the vertex whether it is a maximum or a minimum, so we cannot tell what the range is.


The graph of the quadratic function is shown in the attachment. Tracing it, the vertex is at approximately (0.25, 0.5875).
