C. 6.2g can be combined with -3/8y. This is because they both end in ‘y’.

Answer:

C. 6.2y can be combined with -3/8y.

Step-by-step explanation:

6.2y can be combined with -3/8y because both numbers have the same variable x. All of the other choices have different variable that are not like terms.

Given the function f(x)=4x^8+7x^7+1x^6+1 What is the value of f(−2)?

qwelly [4]

f(x)=4x^8+7x^7+1x^6+
∴ f(-2)=4(-2)^8+7(-2)^7+1(-2)^6+1
∴ f(-2)=(4x256) + (7x-128) + (1x64) +1
∴ f(-2)=1024 - 896 + 64 +1
∴ f(-2)= 193

How can we define appropriate quantities for the purpose of descriptive modeling?

anastassius [24]

Answer:

Use units as a way to understand problems and to guide the solution of multi-step problems; choose and interpret units consistently in formulas; choose and interpret the scale and the origin in graphs and data displays

Step-by-step explanation:

You've assigned your math class a set of word problems. One of the questions ends with, "How many people voted for candidate Jones?" Fingers fly over calculators as your students try to determine the correct answer. After a minute or two, Tommy raises his hand and announces his answer: 4,602.28

Everything inside of you wants to scream, "Are you out of your mind, Tommy boy? A closer answer would be 4 because at least it would be possible! How on earth could a candidate receive 28 hundredths of a vote?"

Okay, breathe. Poor Tommy has made the kind of error that drives math teachers like you to the brink of insanity. He's given an answer that makes absolutely no sense.

Whatever else math is or isn't, it is always logical. Answers should always make sense. Math frequently relies on general knowledge—concepts that we assume are known by everyone over the age of about seven—along with a healthy dose of common sense (not you, Thomas Paine).

The problem, of course, is that people have a tendency to ignore both common sense and the knowledge that they possess. Particularly when calculators are involved, there's the tendency to run with the answer you're given. That ignores one very basic principle: the calculator answers the question you ask, not the one you intended to ask.

This was just an example of Descriptive Modeling

Given y=x2 + 9x + 20 find the zeroes.

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

x=-5 x=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

y=x^2 + 9x + 20

We need to factor the equation

What 2 numbers multiply to 20 and add to 9

4*5 = 20

4+5 =9

y=(x+5) (x+4)

To find the zero's we set the equation equal to zero

0= (x+5) (x+4)

Using the zero product property

x+5 = 0 x+4=0

x=-5 x=-4

I need to make a matrix in reduced row echelon form

a_sh-v [17]

Let the three apartments be A, B & C

The rent of A is $x

The rent of B is $y

The rent of C is $z

So x + y + z = 1600 .......(1)

Now

Maintenance of A is 20% of x = 0.20x

Maintenance of B is 20% of y = 0.20y

Maintenance of C is 25% of z = 0.25z

0.20x + 0.20y + 0.25z = 345

Multiplying by 100 we get

20x + 20y + 25 z = 34500

Dividing by 5 we get

4x + 4y + 5z = 6900 .......(2)

Monthly fee of A is 10% of x = 0.10x

Monthly fee of B is 20% of y = 0.20 y

Monthly Fee of C is 10% of z = 0.10z

Now

0.10x + 0.20y + 0.10 z= 1820 - 1600

0.10x + 0.20y + 0.10z = 220

Multiplying by 100 we get

10x + 20y + 10z = 22000

Dividing by 10

x + 2y + z = 2200 ....(3)

Making a Matrix of equation (1), (2) & (3)

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1\\4&4&5\\1&2&1\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{c}1600\\6900\\2200\end{array}\right]$

is the required matrix
