5x+5y are like terms and can be added together to simplify to 10xy A.True B.False

1 answer:

Alja [10]2 years ago

3 0

Step-by-step explanation:

B. False

they cannot be written as 10xy but only in 5x+5y

x and y will only become together if they are multiplied

as you can see there's a plus sign

you can add them if it is in 5x+5x (or) 5y+5y but never as in 5x+5y

Solving one step equations 1/4 a = 3

Pie

Answer:

a = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{4} a = 3$

Convert element into fraction : 3= 3/1

$\frac{1a}{4} = \frac{3}{1}$

Cross multiply

$1a \times 1 = 4 \times 3 \\ a = 12$

The width of a DVD case is the same as the width of a

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

12m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the area of the square DVD case is 144 square cm

Since Area = L²

144 =L²

L = √144

L = 12m

Since the width of the DVD and its case are the same, hence the with of the DVD is also 12m

Find number a and k so that x-2 is afactor<br>OF F(x)=x4-2ax tax-<br>X+k and F(-1)=3

Slav-nsk [51]

Question:

Find numbers a and k so that x-2 is a factor of

$f(x)=x^4-2ax^3+ax^2- x+k$

and

$f(-1)=3$

Answer:

$k = -2$ and $a=1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$f(x)=x^4-2ax^3+ax^2- x+k$

$Factor:\ x - 4$

$f(-1)=3$

Required

Find a and k

For $f(-1)=3$

Substitute -1 for x

$f(x)=x^4-2ax^3+ax^2- x+k$

$f(-1) = (-1)^4 - 2a *(-1)^3 + a*(-1)^2 - (-1) + k$

$f(-1) = 1 - 2a *-1 + a*1 +1 + k$

$f(-1) = 1 +2a + a +1 + k$

$f(-1) = 2 +3a + k$

Substitute 3 for f(-1)

$3 = 2 +3a + k$

Collect Like Terms

$3 - 2 = 3a + k$

$1 = 3a + k$

Also:

If $x - 2$ is a factor, then

$f(2) = 0$

Substitute 2 for x and 0 for f(x)

$f(x)=x^4-2ax^3+ax^2- x+k$

$0 = 2^4 - 2a * 2^3 + a * 2^2 - 2 + k$

$0 = 16 - 2a * 8 + a * 4 - 2 + k$

$0 = 16 - 16a + 4a - 2 + k$

$0 = 16 - 12a - 2 + k$

Collect Like Terms

$2 - 16 = - 12a + k$

$-14 = k - 12a$

$k = 12a - 14$

Substitute 12a - 14 for k in $1 = 3a + k$

$1 = 3a + 12a - 14$

$1 = 15a - 14$

Collect Like Terms

$15a = 1 + 14$

$15a = 15$

Solve for a

$a = \frac{15}{15}$

$a=1$

Substitute 1 for a in $k = 12a - 14$

$k = 12 * 1 - 14$

$k = 12 - 14$

$k = -2$
