Answer: -12

Explanation: It's a good idea to get into the habit of

using parenthses when substituting numbers in for variables.

If you have parenthses in your original problem,

change them to brackets as you substitute to avoid confusion.

Since your brackets replace your original parenthses,

your first step will be to simplify what's inside the brackets.

So we have (-2) [(3) - (-3)].

Simplifying inside the brackets, we get 6.

So we have (-2) [(6)].

Multiplying from here, our answer is -12.

Answer:

-12

Step-by-step explanation:

a(b - c)

b = 3, c = -3 and a = -2

-2( 3- -3)

-2(3+3)

-2(6)

-12

The Tonga Trench is at an elevation of 35,702 feet below sea level. The South Sandwich Trench is at an elevation of 23,737 feet

Svetach [21]

Both elevations or numbers are already expressed as a rational number. This is because a rational number is defined as a number that can be expressed as a quotient or fraction of two numbers:

p / q

Since in this case, q may be equal to 1, then both are rational numbers.

If f(x) = x^4-x^3+x^2 and g(x)= -x^2, where x does not = 0, what is (f/g)(x)?

Korvikt [17]

For this case we have the following functions:

$f (x) = x ^ 4-x ^ 3 x ^ 2\\g (x) = - x ^ 2$

By definition of composition of functions we have to: $(f \ g) (x) = \frac {f (x)} {g (x)}$

So:

$\frac {f (x)} {g (x)} = \frac {x ^ 4-x ^ 3 x ^ 2} {- x ^ 2} = \frac {x ^ 4} {- x ^ 2} +\frac {-x ^ 3} {- x ^ 2}+ \frac {x ^ 2} {- x ^ 2} =$

By definition of division of powers of the same base we have to place the same base and subtract the exponents:

$\frac {f (x)} {g (x)} = - x ^ 2+x-1$

ANswer:

$(\frac {f} {g}) (x) = - x ^ 2 +x-1$

I need help with these two trigonometry problems.

Sloan [31]

Answer:

$B \approx 32.1\°; A \approx 39.0\°$

Step-by-step explanation:

Sine theorem: in any triangle, the ratio between a side and the sine of the opposite angle is constant

$\frac{sin\ \alpha}a = \frac{sin\ \beta}b =\frac{sin\ \gamma}c$

In our case, for the left triangle,

$\frac {sin\ 103\°}{11} =\frac{sin\ B} 6 \rightarrow sin\ B = \frac6{11} sin\ 103\°$

Time to grab a calculator and crunch numbers. Double check your calculator is in degrees and not in radians (plug in sin 30°, if you're getting 0.5 you're good) and you will get

$sin\ B \approx 0.53 \rightarrow B \approx 32.1\°$

Same difference with the right triangle. With the same calculations

$sin\ A = \frac{26}{41} sin 83\° \approx 0.68 \rightarrow A \approx 39.0\°$
