We need the exponents law
So if
a=3
b=1/2
then
where x represent every half a year.
Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
Let's work out the subtraction of the polynomial to find out where the error is and the correct result we should have.
6x² - 4x - 5
- 3x² - 7x + 2
= [6x² - 3x²] [-4x -(-7x)] [-5 -(+2)]
= 3x² + 3x - 7
The error that was made in the subtraction given in the question was that the negative signs before the terms, 7x and 5 were ignored while subtracting.
The sign is very important, it defines the value of the term.
We can choose to solve the problem in another way shown below:
(6x² - 4x - 5) - (3x² - 7x + 2)
Distributive the negative sign in the second polynomial
6x² - 4x - 5 - 3x² + 7x - 2
Combine like terms
6x² - 3x² - 4x + 7x - 5 - 2
3x² + 3x - 7

Answer:
-22
Step-by-step explanation:
The function y=400-22x is a linear equation in the form y=mx + b. Although they put "mx" after "b" so the equation doesn't start with a negative.
"m" is rate of change, or the slope if graphed.
The negative means "y" decreases as "x" increases. On a graph, it decreases left to right.
Answer:
21
Step-by-step explanation:
Since Lilly has read 7/8 of her book (aka 147 pages), divide 147 by 7 and you get 21.
This means 1/8=21
Since she has read 7/8 of the book, and the full book is 8/8, 8/8-7/8= 1/8
Meaning she has 1/8 of the book left to read.
As said before, 1/8 =21
Thus, she has 21 pages left to read.
