An elevator started on the ground floor. It went up 4 floors, down 4 floors, up 8 floors, and down 2. Which expression matches t

he scenario?
a= |+4|-|-4|-|+8|-|-2|
b= (+4)-(-4)-(+8)-(-2)
c= (+4)+(-4)+(+8)+(-2)
d= |+4|+|-4|+|+8|+|-2|

Answer is c

a and d are crossed off because the action of going up and down is adding and subtracting. Absolute values of any number is a positive. So b and c are left. Then b is crossed out because the is subtracting each value from another which affects the result. Negatives change signs. Positives don't. So you want an equation that sums up all individual values without affect the signs. Answer is C.

1.What values could replace the "?" in these equations to make them true?

Inga [223]

Answer:

Remember that logarithms are inverse of exponentials. That means the result of the logarithm is equal to the exponent of a power with the same base.

<h3>1. (a)</h3>

$log_{10} (10)=1$

Notice that the result is one beacuse $10^{1}=10$

<h3>(b)</h3>

$log_{10}(10000)=4$

Because $10^{4}=10000$

<h3>(c)</h3>

$log_{10}(?) =7 \implies 10^{7} =10000000$

So, $log_{10}(10000000)=7$

<h3>2. </h3>

I would say to thim that $x$ and $y$ are variables of the logarithm, which be solved by imagine the logarithm as an exponential like

$log_{10} (x)=y \implies 10^{y}=x$

In other words, the $y$ is the exponent and the $x$ is the result of the exponential.

6x-4y=-15 and x-4y=1

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

The solution to the given system of equations is

( $-\frac{16}{5}$ , $-\frac{21}{20}$ )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given system of equation are

$6x-4y=-15\hfill (1)$

$x-4y=1\hfill (2)$

To solve equation by using elimination method

Now subtracting equations (1) and (2)

$6x-4y=-15$

$x-4y=1$

_________________

5x=-16

$x=-\frac{16}{5}$

Substitute $x=-\frac{16}{5}$ in equation (1)

$6(-\frac{16}{5})-4y=-15$

$-\frac{96}{5}-4y=-15$

$-4y=-15+\frac{96}{5}$

$-4y=\frac{21}{5}$

$y=-\frac{21}{20}$

Therefore the solution is

( $-\frac{16}{5}$ , $-\frac{21}{20}$ )

Please help me with only one question. 20 points

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

141.3 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is found using the volume formula $V=\pi r^2h$ .

The radius is half the diameter 6 which is 3.

Substitute h=5 and r = 3.

$V = \pi r^2h\\V = \pi (3^2)(5)\\V=\pi *9*5\\V = 45\pi \\V= 141.3$
