Constant: A value that doesn't change. Instead, it's a fixed value.
Variable: A symbol (usually a letter) standing in for an unknown numerical value in an equation.
Term: Either a single number or variable, or numbers and variables multiplied together. (Terms are separated by + or − signs, or sometimes by divide.)
Like Terms: Terms whose variables (and their exponents such as the 2 in x2) are the same. In other words, terms that are "like" each other.
Coefficient: A number used to multiply a variable.
Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
The signs didn't really "swap". Instead, the whole function was divided by -1, or we could say the function was divided by -3. That would turn:
-18x² - 15x + 3 = 0
into
(-18 / -3)x² - (15 / -3)x + (3 / -3) = 0
6x² + 5x - 1 = 0
And that gives the "swapped signs".
Answer: 4. (-1,-1) 3. (3,-2)
4)
Set the equations equal to each other.
4x+3=-x-2
Subtract 3 from both sides
4x=-x-5
Add x to both sides
5x=-5
Divide both sides by 5
x=-1
Next, replace x with -1 in either equation to find y.
-(-1)-2=y
-1=y
3)
Do the same thing for this one and set them equal to each other
-2x+4=-1/3x-1
Add 1 to both sides
-2x+5=-1/3x
Add 2x to both sides
5=5/3x
Divide both sides by 5/3
x=3
Next, replace x with 3 in either equation
-2(3)+4=y
-2=y
Answer:
It will take approximately 34 years
Step-by-step explanation:
If a town population is 8000 and grows 3% annually.
How long will it take to reach 16300
growth is 16300 - 8000 = 8300
using simple interest formula
SI = (P × r × t)/100
8300 = (8000 × 3 × t)100
8300= (80 × 3)t
8300 = 240t
t = 8300/240
t ≈ 34 years to the nearest tenth
