Hi!

When following the order of operations, A. Parantheses (or brackets) come first. =)

Answer:

A. Parentheses.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the operation that should be performed first for calculations involving more than one arithmetic operation.

We use order of operations (PEMDAS) to solve a problem involving more than one arithmetic operation.

P = Parenthesis,

E = Exponent,

M/D = Multiplication or Division (Left to right)

A/S = Addition or subtraction (Left to right)

Therefore, we should remove parenthesis first in calculations involving more than one arithmetic operation.

Simplify.
viva [34]

Answer:

C.  (16y + 7z)

Step-by-step explanation:

9y + 11z + 7y - 4z

1. Simplify the y's: 9y + 7y = 16y

16y + 11z - 4z

2. Simplify the x's: 11z - 4z = 7z

16y + 7z

The equation of a line is y=3. Write an equation in slope intercept form of a line parallel to y=3 that passes through (0,6).
Dimas [21]

Answer:

y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to consider the equation of a line ( in slope - intercept form ) that is parallel to y = 3, and passes through the point ( 0, 6 ). Now y = 3 can be plotted as a horizontal line that passes through the point ( 0, 3 ). If we want a line that is parallel to this, it must be horizontal as well;

Let us consider the second point now. This line must pass through the point ( 0, 6 ). We can conclude that the line must be 1. Horizontal, and 2. Pass through point ( 0, 6 );

Equation - y = 6

spayn [35]

Given:

Scott can run 20 km in 85 minutes.

To find:

How long will it take Scott to run 52 km?

Solution:

Let x be the number of minutes it will take him to run 52 km.

We know that,

Speed=\dfrac{Distance}{Time}

Using this formula, we get

Speed=\dfrac{20}{85}           ...(i)

Speed=\dfrac{52}{x}             ...(ii)

Equating (i) and (ii), we get

\dfrac{20}{85}=\dfrac{52}{x}

20\times x=52\times 85

20x=4420

Divide both sides by 20.

x=\dfrac{4420}{20}

x=221

Therefore, it will take 221 minutes to run 52 km.

The boundary of the lawn in front of a building is represented by the parabola . The parabola is represented on the coordinate p
Colt1911 [192]
The boundary of the lawn in front of a building is represented by the parabola

y = (x^2) /16 + x - 2

And you have three questions which require to find the focus, the vertex and the directrix of the parabola.

Note that it is a regular parabola (its symmetry axis is paralell to the y-axis).

1) Focus:

It is a point on the symmetry axis => x = the x-component of the vertex) at a distance equal to the distance between the directrix and the vertex).

In a regular parabola, the y - coordinate of the focus is p units from the y-coordinate of the focus, and p is equal to 1/(4a), where a is the coefficient that appears in this form of the parabola's equation: y = a(x - h)^2 + k (this is called the vertex form)

Then we will rearrange the standard form, (x^2)/16 + x - 2 fo find the vertex form y = a(x-h)^2 + k

What we need is to complete a square. You can follow these steps.

1) Extract common factor 1/16 => (1/16) [ (x^2) + 16x - 32]

2) Add (and subtract) the square of the half value of the coefficent ot the term on x =>

16/2 = 8 => add and subtract 8^2 => (1/16) [ (x^2) + 16 x + 8^2 - 32 - 8^2]

3) The three first terms inside the square brackets are a perfect square trinomial: =>

(1/16) [ (x+8)^2 - 32 - 64] = (1/16) [ (x+8)^2  - 96] =>

(1/16) [(x+8)^2 ] - 96/16 =>

(1/16) (x +8)^2 -  6

Which is now in the form a(x - h)^2 + k,
where:

a = 1/16 , h = - 8, and k = -6

(h,k) is the vertex: h is the x-coordinate of the vertex, and k is the y-coordinate of the vertex.

=> a = 1/16 => p =1/4a = 16/4 = 4
 
y-componente of the focus = -6 + 4 = -2

x-component of the focus = h = - 8

=> focus = (-8, -2)

2) Vertex

We found it above, vertex = (h,k) = (-8,-6)


3) Directrix

It is the line y = p units below the vertex = > y = -6 - 4 = -10

y = -10
