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

Given c=(2.4,0.45) and d = (7,-4) find the direction of 5c+4d
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

The direction of 5c + 4d is approximately 19.0° clockwise with

the positive part of x-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets talk about the direction of a vector

- If the vector is (x , y), then  

# Its magnitude is √(x² + y²)

# Its direction is tan^-1 (y/x)

- The direction is the angle between the positive part of x-axis and  

  the vector

* Lets solve the problem

∵ c = (2.4 , 0.45) and d = (7 , -4)

- To find 5c + 4d , multiply the two coordinates of c by 5 and the two

  coordinates of d by 4

# Multiply c by 5

∴ 5c = [5(2.4) , 5(0.45)]

∴ 5c = (12 , 2.25)

# Multiply d by 4

∴ 4d = [4(7) , 4(-4)]

∴ 4d = (28 , -16)

- Lets add 5c and 4d

∴ 5c + 4d = (12 , 2.25) + (28 , -16)  

∴ 5c + 4d = [(12 + 28) , (2.25 + -16)]

∴ 5c + 4d = (40 , -13.75)

- The vector is in the 4th quadrant because the x-coordinate is

 positive and the y-coordinate is negative

* Find the direction of 5c + 4d

∵ The direction is tan^-1 (y/x)

∴ The direction is tan^-1 (-13.75/40) = -18.97°

* The direction of 5c + 4d is approximately 19.0° clockwise with

 the positive part of x-axis
