<span>Given a function, if you suspect a root lies near a specific point on the number line, you can evaluate the function at several nearby values and see whether the evaluation is positive or negative. Using a calculator, you should find two real numbers that are at distance 0.01 from one another, such that one real number evaluates positive, and the other evaluates negative. Then the interval between these values contains a root.</span>
Answer:
t = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
(7t - 2) - (-3t + 1) = -3(1 - 3t)
because you can not do anything inside the parantheses, you distribute. there aren't any numbers on the left side of the parantheses on the left side of the equation so we just imagine the number 1. on the right side of the equation, just distribute normally
[ 1(7t - 2) -1(-3t + 1) = -3(1 - 3t) ]
will be
7t - 2 + 3t - 1 = -3 + 9t
add like terms
10t - 3 = -3 + 9t
subtract 9t from both sides
t - 3 = -3
add 3 to both sides
t = 0
you know 1 gallon is 16 cups.
1/2 a gallon will be 8 cups.
So, its asking how much is 1 1/2 gallon to cups. Add 16+8= 24.
24 is the answer
-(7+8/100)
= -(7+4/50)
= -(7+2/25)
= -177/25
It is 10.7703296143, but estimated it would be about 11. Hope I helped!! :)
