Mathematics
1 answer:
stepladder [879]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

a.\ -3\\b.\ 6\\c.\ -5\\d.\ 4

Step-by-step explanation:

First, it is important to remember which are the Negative numbers and the Positive numbers.

The Positive numbers are defined as all those numbers that are greater than zero and the Negative numbers are defined as all those numbers that are less than zero.

Then:

a. "3 degrees below 0\°F" indicates that the temperature is actually -3\°F, which is less than zero. Then, it is a negative number:

-3

b. Let be 0 represents the sea level, "6 feet above the see level" indicates that the number is positive:

6

c. "Lost 5 pounds" indicates that now the actual weight is 5 pounds less than the original, which indicates that it must be expressed as a negative number:

-5

d. "Found \$4" means that now the actual amount of money is greater than it was before. Then, the number that represents this is a positive number:

4

f(x) = 4x - x^2

1)

f(4) = 4(4) - 4^2 = 16 - 16 = 0

f(-4) = 4(-4) - (-4)^2 = -16 - 16 = -32

f(4) - f(-4) = 0 - (-32) = 32

2)

f(3/2) = 4(3/2) - (3/2)^2

f(3/2) = 6 - 9/4 = 15/4

√f(3/2) = √(15/4) = √15 / 2

3)

f(x + h) = 4(x + h) - (x + h)^2

= 4x + 4h -(x^2 + 2xh + h^2)

= 4x + 4h -x^2 - 2xh - h^2

f(x - h) = 4(x - h) - (x - h)^2

= 4x - 4h -(x^2 - 2xh + h^2)

= 4x - 4h -x^2 + 2xh - h^2

So

[f(x + h) -f(x - h) ] / 2h

= [4x + 4h -x^2 - 2xh - h^2 - ( 4x - 4h -x^2 + 2xh - h^2 )] / 2h

=( 4x + 4h -x^2 - 2xh - h^2 - 4x + 4h + x^2 - 2xh + h^2 ) / 2h

= (8h - 4xh) / 2h

= 2h(4 -2x) / 2h

= 4 - 2x

Answer: [f(x + h) -f(x - h) ] / 2h = 4 - 2x

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

The value of the second expression is 14, so the expressions are equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation:

x=5

6+2(5)-2=

6+10-2=

16-2=

14

The other expression also came out to be 14, so they are equivalent.

Not sure how to do this
OLEGan [10]
It's pretty simple! So it looks like you are learning proportions. You would cross multiply to achieve your answer. 

First, let's do your first problem: 

2     12
--- = ----
5       n 

You would take 5 and multiply it by 12 and get 60! Then you would do the same with 2 times n, giving you 2n (because you do not know what n represents YET.) 

Now you should have this:
60=2n OR 2n=60

We must isolate our variable, in order to do that, get rid of two! But how? You would do this by dividing 2n by 2. Yet in equations, when you do something to one side, you must do it to the other because they must be EQUAL! (hence the "equa-" in equation) 

2n=60
---   ---
2      2  DIVIDE 2 into 60
----------
n= 30   Simplify! 

Your final answer for the first question is n= 30!
