Which equation demonstrates the opposite of a sum property?

Mathematics
1 answer:
melomori [17]4 years ago
6 0

Answer: Choice D which is -(-6 + 17) = 6 + (-17)

A sum is the result of adding two numbers. It doesn't matter if those numbers are positive or negative. In choice D, we start with -6 and 17 which add to -6+17. Then we apply a negative sign to that entire thing to take the complete opposite to get -(-6+17)

The negative sign is distributed through to each term. Whatever was negative turns positive, or vice versa. So -6 turns to +6 or just 6, and 17 becomes -17. That explains how your teacher got 6 + (-17).

What is the total surface area of this prism?
Basile [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let us calculate area of pentagon.

it consists of 5 isosceles triangles with base=5 cm

apothem h=3.6 cm

area of pentagon=5×1/2×5×3.6≈45 cm

area of 2 pentagons (top and bottom)=2×45=90 cm²

lateral area of 6 rectangles=2(10×5+10×5+10×5)=2(50+50+50)=300 cm²

Total surface area=90+300=390 cm²

The president of a bowling league wanted to estimate the average highest bowling score of all its 200 members. Instead of survey
Nikolay [14]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

In statistics, whenever full population cannot be surveyed, a random sample can be taken and from the observations population behaviour can be estimated.

Here given that there are 200 members.  Instead of collecting data from all 200, 20 members are randomly taken.

The sample mean x bar can be estimated to give an idea the population mean also.

ACcording to central value theorem, means of different samples will follow a distribution with mean = population mean and std deviation = std dev of sample/square root of n

Hence we fix confidence interval as Mean + or - Z critical * std error

This gives us an idea about within which means will lie for different samples and hence give an idea about population mean also.

What is the value of c in this linear system? <br> A) 1<br> B) -3<br> C) -1<br> D) 2
Alika [10]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

   B)  -3

Step-by-step explanation:

There are methods for finding only c. Cramer's rule is one of them. It involves finding two determinants and taking their ratio. Here, we choose a more <em>ad hoc</em> approach. It appears that the value of b can be found by combining the last two equations.

  (1/2)(2a +4b -2c) -(a -3b -c) = (1/2)(12) -(-4)

  5b = 10

  b = 2

Now, we can substitute this value into the first two equations. This gives ...

  5a +c = -8

  a - c = 2

Subtracting 5 times the second from the first gives ...

  (5a +c) -5(a -c) = (-8) -5(2)

  6c = -18 . . . . simplify

  c = -3 . . . . . . divide by 6

The value of c is -3.
