Answer:

Both conclusions are correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Ivan: The product of an even number of negative fractions is always positive.

When even numbers of same negative fractions are multiplied together, the product is positive.

For instance: -1 × -1

Since the total numbers to be multiplied are even (two -1), the product becomes +1

Ivan's conclusion is correct.

Polina: The product of an odd number of negative fractions is always negative.

When odd numbers of same negative fractions are multiplied together, the product is negative.

For instance: -1 × -1 × -1 × -1 ×-1

Since the total numbers to be multiplied are odd (five -1), the product becomes -1

(-1 × -1) × (-1 × -1) ×-1

= +1 × +1 × -1

The multiplication of same sign gives positive value while the multiplication of two different signs gives a negative value

= +1 × -1

= -1

Polina's conclusion is correct

Both are correct.

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

3(2 - y)(2 + y)(4 + y²)

Step-by-step explanation:

48 - 3y⁴

Take 3 common:

3(16 - y⁴)

16 is 4² and y⁴ is (y²)²

3(4² - (y²)²)

Using a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b)

3(4 - y²)(4 + y²)

Again, 4 = 2²

3(2² - y²)(4 + y²)

3(2 - y)(2 + y)(4 + y²)

PLEASE HELP WITH GEOMETRY!! WILL GIVE BRAIN!!!
xenn [34]

Answer:

1,726 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

it boils down to this equation:

2(19×29)+2(19×6.4)+2(29×6.5)

bc if you look closely, it's just each side twice (hope that makes sense)

then you work down from there

2(551)+2(123.5)+2(188.5)

1,102+259+337

1,726

Graph the line -1 passing through the point (-4,5)​
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want to find the equation of line with a given a slope of which goes through the point (-4,5), you can simply use the point-slope formula to find the equation:

---Point-Slope Formula---

where is the slope, and is the given point

So lets use the Point-Slope Formula to find the equation of the line

Plug in , , and (these values are given)

Distribute  

Multiply and to get

Add -1 to both sides to isolate y

Combine like terms and to get the answer

So the equation of the line with a slope of which goes through the point (-4,5) is:

which is now in y=mx = b form where the slope is m=-4/5  and the y-intercept is b=1
