How can you use negative numbers to represent real-world problems

Mathematics
1 answer:
Tcecarenko [31]3 years ago
8 0
Hi ,  basically  when we want to use negative numbers in  real world problems , we should always put words like decrease , drops ,  less , because those words describe  an  explicit situation that  describes subtraction , for example  Ana is playing soccer with her friends , her score is less than 0 because she has been trying to mark a goal but  she is  unable to do it . The score of Ana is -5 , the score of her friend is -2 .

At age 16, Estelle weighed 110lbs.
Cloud [144]

Answer:

Her weight is increase by 18 lbs over past five years and the slope is 3.6 lbs per year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: Estelle weight is

At age 16 =  110 lbs

At age 21 = 128 ibs

Increase in her weight over the past 5 years is the difference of weight at age 21 and at age 16.

Increase in her weight over the past 5 years = 128 - 110 = 18

Her weight is increase by 18 lbs over past five years.

Let x=age and y=weight, then the weight function passes through the points (16,110) and (21,128).

If a line passes through two points (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2),  then the slope of the line is

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Using the above formula we get

m=\frac{128-110}{21-16}

m=\frac{18}{5}

m=3.6

Therefore the slope is 3.6 lbs per year.

If f(x) = x2 + 7x and g(x) = 3x - 1, what is f(g(x))?
Burka [1]

Answer:

f(g(x)) = 9x^2 + 15x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

We are using function g(x) = 3x - 1 as the input to function f(x) = x^2 + 7x.

Starting with f(x) = x^2 + 7x, substitute g(x) for x on the left side and likewise substitute x^2 + 7x for each x on the right side.  We obtain:

f(g(x)) = (3x - 1)^2 + 7(3x - 1).

If we multiply this out, we get:

f(g(x)) = 9x^2 - 6x + 1 + 21x - 7, or

f(g(x)) = 9x^2 + 15x - 6

Which function has a domain of all real numbers
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Most of the functions we have studied in Algebra I are defined for all real numbers. This domain is denoted . For example, the domain of f (x) = 2x + 5 is , because f (x) is defined for all real numbers x; that is, we can find f (x) for all real numbers x.
