The distributive property allows us to simplify equations.

The following is a simple problem that shows how we can use the distributive property:

A florist is selling flower arrangements with 4 lilies and 3 roses. If John bought 5 arrangements, how many of each flower would he have?

5 x (4 + 3)

The distributive property says that we can distribute the 5 and simplify this to 5 x 4 + 5 x 3. By multiplying you would get 20 lilies and 15 roses or 35 flowers total.

If we do not distribute the 5, we would get 5 x 4 + 3. 20 lilies and 3 roses or 23 flowers total.

The distributive property works the exact same way with subtraction, but remember, you only distribute to the numbers inside the parentheses. Variables can be distributed the same way.


with subtractions, one must take great care. For example 5-3*(6-2) = 5-3*6+3*2. Note that the rule that the product of two negatives is a positive was used. A common mistake is to say that the expression equals 5-3*6-3*2.

While the question is vague, this may help.

The Order of Operations is the priority in which you perform operations in mathematics. The order of operation is:

- Do operations within parentheses first,
- Exponents
- Multiplication and Division, Left to right, as you encounter them
- Addition and Subtraction, Left to right, as you encounter them

An example:

5(4+2)2(1+3) - 3(6-3)(7+1)2 =

Work the parentheses, and keep everything else unchanged: 5(4+2)2(1+3) - 3(6-3)(7+1)2 =5 (6)2(4) - 3(3)(8)2

Now your exponents: 5 (6)2(4) - 3(3)(8)2 = 5 (36)(4) - 3(3)(64)

Now Multiplication, Left to right: 5 (36)(4) - 3(3)(64) = 720 - 576

Now Addition and Subtraction, left to right: 720 - 576 = 144

Until you get used to it, feel free to do only one operation at a time, even if multiple instances appear in the same line, such as working with our parentheses in the example above:

5(4+2)2(1+3) - 3(6-3)(7+1)2 = 5(6)2(1+3) - 3(6-3)(7+1)2 =5(6)2(4) - 3(6-3)(7+1)2 and so on.

What is the approximate length of arc QR? Round to the nearest tenth of a centimeter.
NeX [460]

Step-by-step explanation:

theta = 180 - 123 = 57 degree

arc length = 2 * pi * R * ( theta / 360)

= 2 * pi * R * ( 57 / 360)

= 0.994R cm

Verify that the intermediate value theorem applies to the indicated interval and find the value of c guaranteed by the theorem.
Inessa05 [86]

The intermediate value theorem applies to the indicated interval and the importance of c guaranteed by the theorem is c=2,3.

Especially, he has been credited with proving the following five theorems:  a circle is bisected via any diameter; the bottom angles of an isosceles triangle are the same;  the other (“vertical”) angles are shaped by means of the intersection of two traces are same; two triangles are congruent (of identical form and size.

In mathematics, a theorem is an announcement that has been proved or may be proved. The evidence of a theorem is a logical argument that makes use of the inference guidelines of a deductive system to set up that the concept is a logical result of the axioms and formerly proved theorems.

In line with the Oxford dictionary, the definition of the concept is ''a rule or principle, especially in arithmetic, that may be proved to be true''. For example, in arithmetic, the Pythagorean theorem is a  theorem and is maximum extensively used in the domain of science.

Is Statistics mathematics or science? Defend your answer.
siniylev [52]

Statistics is related to maths because we study, use and even consider statistic problems with reference to mathematics.

• It is mostly used to find the census, which is maths.

• It is used to find interest rates and other banking terms using statistics, which is again related to math.

• It is also used to find the average people living in a village or panchayat, which is also math.

Therefore I strongly believe that Statistics is Maths.

Thank You!
