Which operations are commutative and

Mathematics
1 answer:
MariettaO [177]4 years ago

Answer:

  • addition
  • multiplication

Step-by-step explanation:

When learning about commutative and associative properties, we learn that ...

  a + b = b + a . . . . . addition is commutative

  ab = ba . . . . . . . . . multiplication is commutative

But we also know that ...

  a - b ≠ b - a . . . . . . subtraction is not commutative

  a/b  ≠ b/a . . . . . . . . division is not commutative

__

We also learn that ...

  a + (b+c) = (a+b) +c . . . . addition is associative

  a(bc) = (ab)c . . . . . multiplication is associative

And of course, ...

  a - (b -c) ≠ (a -b) -c . . . . subtraction is not associative

  a/(b/c) ≠ (a/b)/c . . . . . . . division is not associative

_____

However, you can use associative and commutative properties in problems involving subtraction and division if you write the expression properly:

  a - (b - c) = a +(-(b -c)) = a +((-b) +c) = (a +(-b)) +c . . . . keeping the sign with the value makes it an addition problem, so the associative property can apply

  (a/b)/c = (a(1/b))(1/c) = a(1/b·1/c) = writing the division as multiplication by a reciprocal makes it so the associative property can apply

Rewrite the equation below so that it does not have fractions 3/4x-3=5/6
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

9x - 36 = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4 x - 3 = 5/6

The least common multiple of 4 and 6 is 12.

Multiply both sides of the equation by 12.

12 * (3/4 x - 3) = 12 * 5/6

12 * 3/4 x - 12 * 3 = 10

9x - 36 = 10

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST Mr. and Mrs. Bailey hope to send their son to college in eleven years. How much money should they invest no
Ronch [10]

Mr. and Mrs. Bailey need to invest $2906.50 so as to send their son to college.

<h3>Compound interest</h3>

Compound interest is given by:

A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}

where A is the amount after t years, P is initial amount, r is the rate and n is the times compounded per period

Given that n = 1, r = 9% = 0.09, A = $7500 t = 11. Hence:

7500=P(1+\frac{0.09}{1} )^{1*11}\\\\P=\$2906.50

Mr. and Mrs. Bailey need to invest $2906.50 so as to send their son to college.

Data are drawn from a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 25 and a standard deviation of 4. There are 1,000 observations in
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

a. 97.72% of the observations are less than 33

b. Approximately 977 observations are less than 33.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean of 25 and a standard deviation of 4.

This means that \mu = 25, \sigma = 4

a. Approximately what percentage of the observations are less than 33?

The proportion is the p-value of Z when X = 33. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{33 - 25}{4}

Z = 2

Z = 2 has a p-value of 0.9772

0.9772*100% = 97.72%

97.72% of the observations are less than 33.

b. Approximately how many observations are less than 33?

Out of 1000:

0.9772*1000 = 977.2

Approximately 977 observations are less than 33.
