Translate the following words into an algebraic expression.

olganol [36]

Answer:

You've learned how to work with variables and how to evaluate algebra expressions, now we are going to translate words into algebraic expressions.

This skill will come in handy when working with word problems or real life situations. Pay close attention to the "key words" that represent mathematical operations.

You are probably very used to translating words into numerical expressions. Think about this...

We are used to seeing the words, plus, sum, difference, minus, product ...

The good news is that these very same words that we use to write numerical expressions are going to be used to write algebra expressions.

The difference between a numerical expression and an algebra expression is that we will be using variables when writing an algebraic expression. Instead of "8 plus 9" (with two given numbers), you would see, "a number plus 9".

We don't know exactly "what number", so we would use a variable to indicate that it can be any number.

Key words for each operation are indicated in bold. This will help you to easily translate the expression.

As, you can see from the red, bold words, the key words for addition are: sum, more than, plus, increase, add, older than.

Please also remember that addition is commutative; therefore, you can reverse the digits and you will end up with the same answer.

Now, let's take a look at the key words for subtraction.

Find the distance between points A = (2, 0) and

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

9.2

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the distance between A(2, 0) and B(0, 9).

<h3>Distance</h3>

The distance formula is based on the Pythagorean theorem. It tells you the distance between (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is ...

d = √((x2 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)²)

For the given points, this becomes ...

d = √((0 -2)² +(9 -0)²) = √(4+81) = √85

d ≈ 9.2

The distance between A and B is about 9.2 units.

Find the exact value of cos 120° in simplest form with a rational<br> denominator.

IRINA_888 [86]

Given:

cos 120°

To find:

The exact value of cos 120° in simplest form with a rational denominator.

Solution:

We have,

$\cos 120^\circ$

It can be written as

$\cos 120^\circ=\cos (90^\circ+30^\circ)$

$\cos 120^\circ=-\sin 30^\circ$ $[\because \cos (90^\circ-\theta)=-\sin \theta]$

$\cos 120^\circ=-\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)$ $[\because \sin 30^\circ=\dfrac{1}{2}]$

$\cos 120^\circ=-\dfrac{1}{2}$

Therefore, the exact value of cos 120° is $-\dfrac{1}{2}$ .

In the inequality 6a+4b>10, what could be the possible value of a if b=2?

Arlecino [84]

We are given the following inequality:

$6a+4b>10$

If we replace b = 2, we get:

$\begin{gathered} 6a+4(2)>10 \\ 6a+8>10 \end{gathered}$

Now we solve for "a" first by subtracting 8 on both sides:

$\begin{gathered} 6a+8-8>10-8 \\ 6a>2 \end{gathered}$

Now we divide both sides by 6

$\frac{6a}{6}>\frac{2}{6}$

Simplifying:

$a>\frac{1}{3}$

Therefore, for b = 2, the possible values of "a" are those that are greater than 1/3
