Find the difference (7a-6b+7) - (8a-2)

1 answer:

6 0

Hey there!

Let's set up our expression:

(7a-6b+7)-(8a-2)

In order to simplify, we can use that subtraction sign and distribute it, using the distributive property. We have:

7a-6b+7-8a+2

Notice how it's plus two, because a negative times a negative two is a positive two. Now, it's a matter of finding the like terms and adding or subtracting them. These like terms can either have no variable, or have different coefficients but the same variable. That means our like terms are the 7a and -8a, and the 7 and 2. There's no like term for the 6b. That means we have:

(7a-8a) - 6b + (7+2) =

-a - 6b + 9

Hope this helps!

What is the maximum number of possible extreme values for the function,<br> f(x) = х2 -7x – 6?

timama [110]

Answer:

Only one extreme value of f(x) is possible.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the quadratic function of independent variable x which is f(x) = x² - 7x - 6 ......(1)

Now. the condition for extreme values of f(x) is $\frac{df(x)}{dx} =0$

Hence, differentiating both sides of equation (1) with respect to x, we get

$\frac{df(x)}{dx} = 2x -7$ = 0

⇒ x = 3.5.

So there is only one value of x for which f(x) has extreme value which is x = 3.5.

Therefore, only one extreme value of the given function is possible. (Answer)

In a Gallup poll, 1025 randomly selected adults were surveyed and 29% of them said that they used the Internet for shopping at l

Answer: (0.25,0.33)

Step-by-step explanation:

A 99% confidence interval for population proportion is given by:-

$\hat{p}\pm 2.576\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}$ , where $\hat{p}$ = sample proportion, $n$ = sample size.

Given: $n=1025, \hat{p}=0.29$

A 99% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of adults who use the Internet for shopping:

$0.29\pm 2.576\sqrt{\dfrac{0.29(1-0.29)}{1025}}\\\\=0.29\pm 2.576\sqrt{0.00020087804878}\\\\=0.29\pm2.576(0.01417)\\\\=0.29\pm0.03650192\\\\=(0.29-0.03650192,\ 0.29+0.03650192)\\\\=(0.25349808,\ 0.32650192)$
