Question: What is the commutative, associative, and distributive property of 3a plus 5a plus 2b0.

Answer:Defintion of Commutative property holds for both addition and multiplication. That is: the operations addition and multiplication are commutative over the set of real numbers. That means, for any two real numbers x and. y, x + y = y + x and xy = yx. Definiton of associative In mathematics, the associative property is a property of some binary operations. In propositional logic, associativity is a valid rule of replacement for expressions in logical proofs and distrive property means The Distributive Property is an algebra property which is used to multiply a single term and two or more terms inside a set of parentheses. I really hope this helped thx for the question!

Commutative: a+b=b+a
associative: (a+b)+c=a+(b+c)
distributive: ab+ac=a(b+c)

so
3a+5a+2b
we can show distributive with the a terms
3a+5a=a(3+5)=8a
8a+2b
we can distribute again
2(4a)+2b=2(4a+b)

not sure how to show commutative or associative
I guess
3a+5a+2b=2b+3a+5a

How do you use the law of cosines or law of sines if you are given a=13 m, b=8.5 m, and c=9 m?

Rus_ich [418]

The law of cosines is
c= square root of a^2 + b^2 - 2ab cos c

the law of sines is
a = b(sin a /sin b)

For the spinner above the probability of landing on black is 1/2 and the probability of landing on red is 1/3 supposed it is spu

aksik [14]

Assuming there are only three colors on the spinner (black, red and white,) the probability of landing on white can be found by subtracting the probabilities for black and red from 1. This gets you 0.16, or one-sixth.

Which shows the correct substitution of the values a, b, and c from the equation -2=-x+x^2-4 into the quadratic formula?

Greeley [361]

Given the equation:

(1) $-2=-x+ x^{2}-4$

We need to find a, b and c. So, we know that a quadratic equation is given by:

(2) $ax^{2}+bx+c=0$

Then, we need to order the equation (1) and to adjust it to the equation (2), so:

$x^{2}-x-2=0$

So, if we compare these two equations, the conclusion is:

$a=1$
$b=-1$
$c=-2$

(3) $x= \frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$

Substituiting a, b and c into (3):

$x= \frac{-(-1)\pm \sqrt{(-1)^{2}-4(1)(-2)}}{2(1)}$

Finally, the results are two values:

$x_{1}=2$
$x_{2}=-1$

What is the y-intercept of the function f(x) = –2/9 + 1/5

dolphi86 [110]

The equation has no X variable so whatever that adds up to becomes the y-intercept.

- 2/9 + 1/5 >> - 10/45 + 9/45 = - 1/45

Your y-int is - 1/45 or (0, - 1/45)
