Answer:

-5 x^5 - 5 x^4 + 6 x^3 - x^2 - 7 x + 20

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x^5+x^3−3x^4−x+8)−(7x^5+2x^4−12+6x−5x^3+x^2)

Distribute the minus sign

(2x^5+x^3−3x^4−x+8)−7x^5-2x^4+12-6x+5x^3-x^2

Put them in order from largest exponent to smallest exponent

2x^5−7x^5−3x^4-2x^4+5x^3+x^3-x^2-6x−x+8+12

Combine like terms

-5x^5 -5x^4 +6x^3 -x^2 -7x +20

Standard form is from largest exponent to smallest exponent

What is the equation of the line?

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

y=1/2x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find the equation for a line that passes through the two points:

(0,2) and (-4,0).

First of all, remember what the equation of a line is:

y = mx+b

Where:

m is the slope, and

b is the y-intercept

First, let's find what m is, the slope of the line...

The slope of a line is a measure of how fast the line "goes up" or "goes down". A large slope means the line goes up or down really fast (a very steep line). Small slopes means the line isn't very steep. A slope of zero means the line has no steepness at all; it is perfectly horizontal.

For lines like these, the slope is always defined as "the change in y over the change in x" or, in equation form:

So what we need now are the two points you gave that the line passes through. Let's call the first point you gave, (0,2), point #1, so the x and y numbers given will be called x1 and y1. Or, x1=0 and y1=2.

Also, let's call the second point you gave, (-4,0), point #2, so the x and y numbers here will be called x2 and y2. Or, x2=-4 and y2=0.

Now, just plug the numbers into the formula for m above, like this:

m= 0 - 2-4 - 0 or... m= -2-4 or... m=1/2

So, we have the first piece to finding the equation of this line, and we can fill it into y=mx+b like this:

y=1/2x+b

Now, what about b, the y-intercept?

To find b, think about what your (x,y) points mean:

(0,2). When x of the line is 0, y of the line must be 2.

(-4,0). When x of the line is -4, y of the line must be 0.

Because you said the line passes through each one of these two points, right?

Now, look at our line's equation so far: y=1/2x+b. b is what we want, the 1/2 is already set and x and y are just two "free variables" sitting there. We can plug anything we want in for x and y here, but we want the equation for the line that specfically passes through the two points (0,2) and (-4,0).

So, why not plug in for x and y from one of our (x,y) points that we know the line passes through? This will allow us to solve for b for the particular line that passes through the two points you gave!.

You can use either (x,y) point you want..the answer will be the same:

(0,2). y=mx+b or 2=1/2 × 0+b, or solving for b: b=2-(1/2)(0). b=2.

(-4,0). y=mx+b or 0=1/2 × -4+b, or solving for b: b=0-(1/2)(-4). b=2.

See! In both cases we got the same value for b. And this completes our problem.

The equation of the line that passes through the points

(0,2) and (-4,0)

y=1/2x+2

How to find out 4 x 754 by using two methods

baherus [9]

You can use expanded form: 4 X 700, 4 X 50, 4 X 4, = 3016.

You can use the Distributive Property of Multiplication: (4 X 500) + (4 X 254) = 3016.

Which of the following statements is false?

kramer

Option D

The sum of two irrational numbers is always rational is false statement

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<h3><u>The sum of two rational numbers is always rational</u></h3>

"The sum of two rational numbers is rational."

So, adding two rationals is the same as adding two such fractions, which will result in another fraction of this same form since integers are closed under addition and multiplication. Thus, adding two rational numbers produces another rational number.

For example:

$\frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{9}{20}$

rational number + rational number = rational number

Hence this statement is true

<h3><u>The product of a non zero rational number and an irrational number is always irrational</u></h3>

If you multiply any irrational number by the rational number zero, the result will be zero, which is rational.

Any other situation, however, of a rational times an irrational will be irrational.

A better statement would be: "The product of a non-zero rational number and an irrational number is irrational."

So this statement is correct

<h3><u>The product of two rational numbers is always rational</u></h3>

The product of two rational numbers is always rational.

A number is said to be a rational number if it is of the form p/q,where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0

Any integer is a rational number because it can be written in p/q form.

Hence it is clear that product of two rational numbers is always rational.

So this statement is correct

<h3><u>The sum of two irrational numbers is always rational</u></h3>

"The sum of two irrational numbers is SOMETIMES irrational."

The sum of two irrational numbers, in some cases, will be irrational. However, if the irrational parts of the numbers have a zero sum (cancel each other out), the sum will be rational.

Thus this statement is false
