Answer:
1. 0.5
2. 3/4
3. -6
4. 5x
Step-by-step explanation:
1. A coefficient is a number that is placed in front of an algebraic term/variable in an expression or equation.
The decimal coefficient is therefore 0.5. It is the coefficient of x.
2. The fractional coefficient is 3/4. It is the coefficient of y.
3. The negative coefficient is -6. It is the coefficient of b.
4. A like term is one which contains the same type of terms as another term.
3x is a like term of 5x, because it contains a numerical term and an algebraic term to the power of 1.
Answer:
7/12
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
<u>The correct answer is 58 1/2 feet. See below to understand the difference of both methods.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information provided to us for solving the question using both methods:
Area of each student = 4 1/2 square feet
Number of students = 13
2. Let's use the first method to solve the question:
4 1/2 = 9/2 (Improper fraction because the numerator, 9 is bigger than the denominator, 2)
9/2 * 13 = 117/2
<u>117/2 = 58 1/2 square feet</u>
3. Let's use the second method to solve the question:
4 1/2 = 4 + 1/2 (Using addition to rewrite the fraction)
(4 + 1/2) * 13 = (4 * 13) + (1/2 * 13) (Distributive property of the multiplication)
(4 * 13) + (1/2 * 13) = 52 + 13/2 = 52 + 6 1/2
<u>52 + 6 1/2 = 58 1/2 square feet</u>
Answer:
The factors of given polynomial x =-1 , -2 and x =3
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>Step(i):</em></u>-
Given the polynomial
f(x) = x³ - 7x -6
put x =-1
f(-1) = (-1 )³- 7(-1) - 6 = -1+7-6=0
(x+1) is a one factor
By using synthetic division
x³ x² x constant
x=-1 ↓ 1 0 -7 -6
<u>↓ 0 -1 1 6</u>
<u> 1 -1 -6 0 </u>
<u />
<em>The polynomial x² - x - 6 </em>
<u><em>Step(ii):-</em></u>
The factors ( x+1)(x² - x - 6 ) = 0
x = -1 and x² - x - 6 =0
x =-1 and x² - 3x + 2 x - 6 =0
x =-1 and x (x -3) + 2( x-3) =0
x =-1 and (x+2)(x-3) =0
<u><em>Final answer:-</em></u>
The factors of given polynomial x =-1 , -2 and x =3
To solve for this, we need to use the Distributive Property, which allows us to multiply the number/variable outside of the parenthesis by all numbers/variables inside of the parenthesis. Once we've done that, we can attempt to simplify the equation.
Our current equation is:
7a + 3(9+5a) = 0
Let's use the Distributive Property.
3(9 + 5a)
3(9) + 3(5a)
27 + 15a
Our current equation now is:
7a + 27 + 15a = 0
Combine like-terms.
15a + 7a = 22a
22a + 27 (If this is not being solved, THIS is your answer as an expression)
Subtract 27 from both sides
22a = -27
Divide both sides by 22 to get a.
a = -27/22.
If we are not solving for a, but getting an expression, your answer is:
22a + 27.
If we are solving for a, our answer is:
a = -27/22.
I hope this helps!
