An error has been made in subtracting the two polynomials shown in the work below the problem is (6x^2-4x-5)-(3x^2-7x=2)

Mathematics

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Let's work out the subtraction of the polynomial to find out where the error is and the correct result we should have.

6x² - 4x - 5

- 3x² - 7x + 2

= [6x² - 3x²] [-4x -(-7x)] [-5 -(+2)]

= 3x² + 3x - 7

The error that was made in the subtraction given in the question was that the negative signs before the terms, 7x and 5 were ignored while subtracting.

The sign is very important, it defines the value of the term.

We can choose to solve the problem in another way shown below:

(6x² - 4x - 5) - (3x² - 7x + 2)

Distributive the negative sign in the second polynomial

6x² - 4x - 5 - 3x² + 7x - 2

Combine like terms

6x² - 3x² - 4x + 7x - 5 - 2

3x² + 3x - 7

Given that f(x) = 2x + 1 and g(x) = the quantity of 3x minus 1, divided by 2, solve for g(f(3)). 5 7 9 10
AlladinOne [14]

The correct answer is 10.

In order to evaluate any composite function, you need to first put the value in for the inside function. In this case f(x) is on the inside along with the number 3. So, we input 3 in for x in f(x).

f(x) = 2x + 1

f(3) = 2(3) + 1

f(3) = 6 + 1

f(3) = 7

Now that we have the value of f(3), we can stick the answer in for the outside function, which is g(x).

g(x) = (3x - 1)/2

g(7) = (3(7) - 1)/ 2

g(7) = (21 - 1)/2

g(7) = 20/2

g(f(3)) = 10

Find the surface area of the pyramid shown to the nearest whole number.
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is option A</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of a pyramid =

area of base + area of triangular faces

Since it's a square based pyramid

It's surface area is

area of base + 4( area of one triangular face)

Since the square has equal sides

<u>For square base </u>

Area of a square = l²

where l is the length

From the question l = 5

So we have

Area of square base = 5² = 25ft²

<u>For one of the triangular face</u>

Area of a triangle = ½ × base × height

base = 5

height = 6

Area = ½ × 5 × 6 = 15ft²

So the surface area of the pyramid is

25 + 4(15)

= 25 + 60

We have the final answer as

<h3>Surface area = 85 ft²</h3>

Hope this helps you

Answer:

<em>The gold vein is  96 miles away from the farthest gold dust strike.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Distance Between two Points in the Plane </u>

Given two points A(x,y) and B(w,z), the distance between them is:

d=\sqrt{(z-y)^2+(w-x)^2}

The prospector positioned the gold vein at  (-2,9) and the farthest gold dust strike at (94,9). We are required to calculate the distance between these two points. Use the formula:

d=\sqrt{(9-9)^2+(94-(-2))^2}

d=\sqrt{0^2+96^2}

d=\sqrt{96^2}=96

The distance is 96 units, but we know each unit on the graph represents 1 mile, thus the gold vein is 96 miles away from the farthest gold dust strike.

5 The area of a rectangular lawn is 255 m². If its length is 15 m, find its perimeter.​
Marina CMI [18]
Area of a rectangular lawn = l×b

255=15×x

Hence the breadth is 17 m

Hence perimeter =2(l+b)=2(15+17)=64

You have 10 tbsp of onion powder.
evablogger [386]

Answer:

we can make 5 servings of spice rub from 10 table spoons of onion powder

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

2 table spoon of onion powder makes one serving of spice rub.

Total table spoons of onion powder available = 10

So Let x represent the number of servings of spice rub we can make from our 10 table spoons of onion powder ;

2 table spoons = 1 servings

10 table spoons = x servings

we cross multiply;

x servings × 2 table spoons = 10 table spoons × 1 servings

x servings = ( 10 table spoons × 1 servings ) / 2 table spoons

x = 10 / 2

x = 5 servings

Therefore, we can make 5 servings of spice rub from 10 table spoons of onion powder
