Answer:

The answer is 544. The distributive property is a property that basically says that any number outside the parenthesis can be multiplied and distributed between all other numbers in the parentheses.

Step-by-step explanation:

17(11+21) = [This is the given equation]

17*11 + 17*21 [I used the distributive property]

187+357 [I used a calculator for the sake of time, but I suggest when double digit multiplying, do it by paper.]

= 544 [The answer is 544.]

The distributive property is a property that basically says that any number outside the parenthesis can be multiplied and distributed between all other numbers in the parentheses. An example is w(x+y+z). w(x+y+z) can also be simplified to (wx+wy+wz) because w is being distributed between all variables in the parenthesis. You can also get rid of parenthesis after simplifying.

The distributive property is also used when doing 'F.O.I.L'.

Hope I helped!

B. Find the value of X. Show your work, I’m not sure how to do this

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

63°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of all interior angles of a triangle = 180°

Therefore:

x + 96° + 21° = 180°

x + 117 = 180

Subtract 117 from each side

x = 180 - 117

x = 63°

Which of the following graphs of exponential functions corresponds to a geometric sequence with a first term of 4 and a ratio of

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer: graph E.

A geometric sequence can be written as:

$a_{n} = a_{1} \cdot r^{(n - 1)}$

where:

a₁ = first term = 4

r = ratio = 0.5

Substituting the numbers, we have:

$a_{n} = 4 \cdot (\frac{1}{2})^{n-1}$

or else

$f(x) = 4 \cdot (\frac{1}{2})^{x - 1}$

This is an exponential function with base less than 1. Therefore, we can exclude graph C (which depicts a linear function), and graphs A and D (which depict an exponential function with base greater than 1).

In order to choose between graph B and E, let's evaluate the function in two different points:

$f(1) = 4 \cdot (\frac{1}{2})^{1 - 1} = 4$

$f(2) = 4 \cdot (\frac{1}{2})^{2 - 1} = 4 \cdot \frac{1}{2} = 2$

Therefore, we need to look for the graph passing through the points (1, 4) and (2, 2). That is graph E.

What is the area of triangle 1

Feliz [49]

Using the Pythagorean triples, one side is 3 units long, one side is 4 units long, and one side is 5 units long. To find the area of a right triangle, multiply length times width. Then divide total by two.

So,

(3•4)/2= 6 units
After scaling units, you should get 24 units.
