Solving the equation

Mathematics
1 answer:
liubo4ka [24]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

-(4y + 2) - (-3y - 6) = -1

Step 2: Solve for <em>y</em>

  1. Distribute: -4y - 2 + 3y + 6 = -1
  2. Combine like terms: -y + 4 = -1
  3. Subtract 4 on both sides: -y = -5
  4. Divide both sides by -1: y = 5

Step 3: Check

<em>Plug in y to verify it's a solution.</em>

-(4(5) + 2) - (-3(5) - 6) = -1

-(20 + 2) - (-15 - 6) = -1

-22 - (-21) = -1

-22 + 21 = -1

-1 = -1

What is the range for 25,25,21,28,37,26
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

16 is the range

Step-by-step explanation:

First, arrange the numbers from least to greatest.

21, 25, 25, 26, 28, 37

Then, subtract 21 (smallest number) from the 37 (biggest number).

37 - 21 = 16

So, the range is 16

Have a wonderful day!

Find the vertex and length of the latus rectum for the parabola. y=1/6(x-8)^2+6
Ivan

Step-by-step explanation:

If the parabola has the form

y = a(x - h)^2 + k (vertex form)

then its vertex is located at the point (h, k). Therefore, the vertex of the parabola

y = \dfrac{1}{6}(x - 8)^2 + 6

is located at the point (8, 6).

To find the length of the parabola's latus rectum, we need to find its focal length <em>f</em>. Luckily, since our equation is in vertex form, we can easily find from the focus (or focal point) coordinate, which is

\text{focus} = (h, k +\frac{1}{4a})

where \frac{1}{4a} is called the focal length or distance of the focus from the vertex. So from our equation, we can see that the focal length <em>f</em> is

f = \dfrac{1}{4(\frac{1}{6})} = \dfrac{3}{2}

By definition, the length of the latus rectum is four times the focal length so therefore, its value is

\text{latus rectum} = 4\left(\dfrac{3}{2}\right) = 6

Suppose 86% of 50 people at a law firm like their job. How many people like their job.
solniwko [45]
To find 86% of 50, you do 50*.86 (because .86 is the decimal form of the percentage 86%)

50*.86=43 people

Hope this helps
