1) -12
ab is a times b. We plug in the numbers (-4)*(3) which equals -12.
2) 1
We plug in -4 for a, and 3 for b into the equation.
We get 2(-4) + 3(3)
2*-4 is -8. 3*3 is 9. We add them both, and -8+9 equals 1.
3) -14
We plug in -4 for a, and 3 for b into the equation.
2(-4-3)
-4-3 is -7. -7*2 equals -14.
Answer:
Option (C)
Step-by-step explanation:
If AD is the altitude to BC, both the segments AD and BC will be perpendicular to each other.
By the property of perpendicular lines,
![m_1\times m_2=-1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=m_1%5Ctimes%20m_2%3D-1)
where
is the slope of the line AD and
is the slope of BC.
![m_2=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=m_2%3D%5Cfrac%7By_2-y_1%7D%7Bx_2-x_1%7D)
![=\frac{8+2}{3-7}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5Cfrac%7B8%2B2%7D%7B3-7%7D)
![=-\frac{5}{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D-%5Cfrac%7B5%7D%7B2%7D)
Now from the given property,
![m_1\times (-\frac{2}{5})=-1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=m_1%5Ctimes%20%28-%5Cfrac%7B2%7D%7B5%7D%29%3D-1)
![m_1=\frac{5}{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=m_1%3D%5Cfrac%7B5%7D%7B2%7D)
Therefore, slope of altitude BC = ![\frac{5}{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B5%7D%7B2%7D)
Option (C) will be the answer.
you dont use the distributive property
(8x-1)(7x-1)
then you foil it and combine like terms
50 < 8 - 6x
50 - 8 < 6x
42 < 6x
7 < x
