Look at Karen's attempt to solve the equation for y: y + 8 = 15, y = 15 + 8, y = 23.Describe the mistake that Karen made.

1 answer:

6 0

The mistake that Karen made was that in order to get the 8 to switch sides, it should have been subtracted rather than added. This is because it is positive on the left side and therefore must be negative when we switch it to the right side. A proper version of this problem would be below.

y + 8 = 15

y = 15 - 8

y = 7

If (2y^4z^m)^8 what is m

aksik [14]

M is the exponent of z inside parentheses. In expanded form, the exponent of z is 8m, so m is 1/8 of the exponent of z.

Here's a graph of a linear function. Write the

madam [21]

The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is y = (1/2)x + 3 and the slope is 1/2.

<h3>What is a straight line?</h3>

A straight line is a combination of endless points joined on both sides of the point.

The slope 'm' of any straight line is given by:

$\rm m =\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\$

As we can see in the graph the line goes from (-6, 0) and (0, 3)

Finding the slope:

$\rm m =\dfrac{3-0}{0-(-6)}\\$

m = 3/6 = 1/2

y = mx + c

y = (1/2)x + c

c is the y-intercept

c = 3

The equation:

y = (1/2)x + 3

Thus, the equation of the line in slope-intercept form is y = (1/2)x + 3 and the slope is 1/2.

Here are the graphs of L(x) and R(x) what are the values of L(2) and R(2)

Sedaia [141]

Using the function graph given, it is found that:

L(2) = 7.

R(2) = 1.

When a piece-wise function is given, that is, a function that has <em>multiple definitions</em>, the numeric value at x when the definition changes is given by the closed circle.

For function L(x), when x = 2, the closed circle is at y = 7, hence, L(2) = 7.

For function R(x), when x = 2, the closed circle is at y = 1, hence, R(2) = 1.

Could someone answer the question with the photo linked below?

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

$\sqrt{28}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's pretend the empty, white space in the middle is a triangle. A right triangle. then we just use the pythogerean theorem to get the a.

$\sqrt{a \:} \: equals \: {8}^{2} - {6}^{2}$

Prove the identity (sina-cosatanb)/(cosa+sinatanb) = tan (a+b)

OLga [1]

Sina - (cosa)(tanb)/cosa + (sina)(tanb)
sina ≡ (tana)(cosa)

(tana)(cosa) - (cosa)(tanb)/cosa + (tana)(cosa)(tanb)
= cosa(tana - tanb)/cosa(1 + tanatanb)
(cosas cancel out)
= (tana - tanb)/(1 + tanatanb) ≡ tan(a-b)
