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

How is the formula for finding the sum of interior angle measures of polygons dervived
SSSSS [86.1K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw lines from one vertex to the other vertices, splitting the polygon into triangles.  If the polygon has n sides, there will be n−2 triangles.  Each triangle's angles add up to 180°.  So the sum of all the interior angles is:

S = (n−2) 180°

Can you help me with both don’t know if second one is right
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

1. $67.72

2. It's correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

bill: $68.89

discount: $10

tip: 15%

Calculate the total with the discount.

68.89-10=58.89

Now calculate 15% of that.

Convert 15% to decimal by dividing by 100

\frac{15}{100}=0.15

Multiply

0.15(58.89)=8.83

Add this to the original amount.

58.89+8.83=67.72

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Calculate 20% of 148.25

Convert 20% to decimals by dividing by 100

\frac{20}{100}=0.20

Multiply

0.20(148.25)=29.65 This is how much they will tip.

Add this to the original bill;

148.25+29.65=177.90
