Juan used the expression 16 – 9 – 12 + 22 to find his profit for days 2 and 3. He rewrote the expression as 16 + (–9) + (–12) +

22.
Juan can use the associative and commutative properties to rewrite the expression again. Explain why he had to use the additive inverse before he could use these properties.

Jaun has to use inverse before using those properties as they does not support subtraction but only addition.

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that , Juan used the expression 16 – 9 – 12 + 22 to find his profit for days 2 and 3.  

He rewrote the expression as 16 + (–9) + (–12) + 22

Juan can use the associative and commutative properties to rewrite the expression again.  

We have to explain why he had to use the additive inverse before he could use these properties.

Now, Associative property and commutative property true for addition.

i) a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c  ---> Associative property of addition

ii) a + b = b + a --> commutative property of addition.

These properties not true for subtraction.

That's the reason Juan used additive inverse before applying these property.

Hence, jaun has to use inverse before using those properties as they does not support subtraction but only addition.

Convert the following numbers of calories or
kap26 [50]

Answer:

  • 32.823 kJ
  • 190.4 kJ
  • 260.00 kJ
  • 180.012 kJ

Step-by-step explanation:

The conversion factor for food energy or thermochemical calorimetry* is ...

  1 calorie = 4.184 J

  1000 calorie = 4.184 kJ

__

a. 7845 cal = 7845·4.184 J = 32,823 J = 32.823 kJ

b. 4.55·10^4 cal = 4.55·10^4·4.184 J = 1.904·10^5 J = 190.4 kJ

c. 62.142 kcal = 62.142·4.184 kJ = 260.00 kJ

d. 43,024 cal = 43,024·4.184 J = 180,012 J = 180.012 kJ

_____

* The thermochemical calorie is defined in terms of the heat capacity of water. An international calorie of 4.1868 J is defined in terms of energy, without respect to the heat capacity of water.

False.

e is an irrational number, then it cannot be the ration of two integer numbers.

That expression is only an approximation to the value of e.
