If the equation of a function is y = x2 – 5, what is the output when the input is -1?

1 answer:

4 0

The input is the y
y = x^2 - 5
plug in what we're given
-1 = x^2 -5
add 5 to both sides
4 = x^2
take the square root of both sides
2 = x

Hope this helps :)

Identify the terms, like terms, coefficients, and constants in each expression.

Simplifying
8 + 6t = 3t + t

Combine like terms: 3t + t = 4t
8 + 6t = 4t

Solving
8 + 6t = 4t

Solving for variable 't'.

Move all terms containing t to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-4t' to each side of the equation.
8 + 6t + -4t = 4t + -4t

Combine like terms: 6t + -4t = 2t
8 + 2t = 4t + -4t

Combine like terms: 4t + -4t = 0
8 + 2t = 0

Add '-8' to each side of the equation.
8 + -8 + 2t = 0 + -8

Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0
0 + 2t = 0 + -8
2t = 0 + -8

Combine like terms: 0 + -8 = -8
2t = -8

Divide each side by '2'.
t = -4

Simplifying
t = -4

A number cube is rolled. What is the probability of rolling a 2,3, or 5?

Liula [17]

Well if the number cube goes up to 6 like most number cubes, then the probability would be 3/6 because there are 3 numbers that you want to roll (2, 3, and 5) out of 6 total numbers (1-6). Then 3/6 can be further simplified to 1/2. So the answer should be 1/2.
