<span>No, the work is not correct. The distributive property was not used properly to expand the expression. Negative 6 should be multiplied by both terms in the parentheses. The second product should be -6 times -2/13 to get positive 12/13.</span>

The work is incorrect.

(-6) multiplies both terms inside parentheses. For some reason, the student changed the sign of that multiplier for the second term. The second term of the result should have a positive sign, the result of multiplying (-6)(-2/13) = +12/13.

What is (5,1) reflected on the y axis

asambeis [7]

Answer:

(-5 , 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are reflecting over the x-axis, you are changing the sign of the y.

If you are reflecting over the y-axis, you are changing the sign of the x.

In this case, you have the point (5 , 1). You are reflecting over the y-axis, which means that you are flipping the sign of the x value.

(5 , 1) reflected over the y-axis is (-5 , 1)

(-5 , 1)

Find the dimensions of an open rectangular box with a square base that holds 2000 cubic cm and is constructed with the least bui

Vesnalui [34]

<h3>The dimensions of the given rectangular box are:</h3><h3>L = 15.874 cm , B = 15.874 cm , H = 7.8937 cm</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the dimension of the square base = S x S

Let us assume the height of the rectangular base = H

So, the total area of the open rectangular box

= Area of the base + 4 x ( Area of the adjacent faces)

= S x S + 4 ( S x H) = S² + 4 SH ..... (1)

Also, Area of the box = S x S x H = S²H

⇒ S²H = 2000

$\implies H = \frac{2000}{S^2}$

Substituting the value of H in (1), we get:

$A = S^2 + 4 SH = S^2 + 4 S(\frac{2000}{S^2}) = S^2 + (\frac{8000}{S})\\\implies A = S^2 + (\frac{8000}{S})$

Now, to minimize the area put :

$(\frac{dA}{dS} ) = 0 \implies 2S - \frac{8000}{S^2} = 0\\\implies S^3 = 4000\\\implies S = 15.874 \approx 16 cm$

Putting the value of S = 15.874 cm in the value of H , we get:

$\implies H = \frac{2000}{S^2} = \frac{2000}{(15.874)^2} = 7.8937 cm$

Hence, the dimensions of the given rectangular box are:

L = 15.874 cm

B = 15.874 cm

H = 7.8937 cm

Please help I will give brainlist

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Your answer will be B

Step-by-step explanation:

Because you find the difference between 14 and 22 or the difference between 22 and 30 or the difference between 30 and 38. and so on then it will be 8

You then say ok 8 times x so for example 8×1 = 8 then you say ok 22 - 8= 22. So it will be 8x+14...

I hope this helped if not tell me please....❤
