Distribution is one of the most important terms of math you need to know.

Distributing, in this case, is when you take the -6 and multiply the terms in the parenthesis.

When you do that. You’ll get -78 = -6p+24.

*Remember: a negative times a negative is always positive. A positive times a negative is always negative. If you need more help with this tip, please feel free to reply if you need any better tips and tricks.

Now, you’re going to solve -78-24 (since you switch the sign when you bring one term to the opposite of the equation).

Then you’ll have -102 = -6p

Lastly, instead of multiplying, you divide -102 by -6.

Your final answer should be 17 = p (or flip it to make it p = 17).

What is the effect on the graph of the function f(x) =^8x when f(x) is replaced with f(x − 2)?

docker41 [41]

Answer:

f(x - 2) = 8x - 16

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 8x

f(x - 2) = 8(x - 2)

f(x - 2) = 8x - 16

Three of the four vertices of a rectangle are located at (4, 2), (7, 2) and (4, 8). a. What are the coordinates of the missing v

34kurt

Answer:

a) The coordinates of the missing vertex = (7, 8)

b) Area = 18 square units

Perimeter = 18 units

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We know three of the four vertices:

A: (4, 2) C ______ D(?)

B: (7, 2) | |

C: (4, 8) A |______| B

To find the coordinates of the missing vertex we need to calculate the distance in the x-direction from point A to point B:

$B_{x} - A_{x} = 7 - 4 = 3$

Hence, the distance of point D from point C in the x-direction is:

$D_{x} = C_{x} + 3 = 4 + 3 = 7$

Now, to find the coordinate in "y" we need to calculate the distance in the y-direction between point C and point A:

$C_{y} - A_{y} = 8 - 2 = 6$

Then, the distance of point D from point B in the y-direction is:

$D_{y} = B_{y} + 6 = 2 + 6 = 8$

Therefore, the coordinates of the missing vertex (point D) are:

$D = (D_{x}, D_{y}) = (7, 8)$

b) The area of the rectangle is:

$a = (B_{x} - A_{x})*(C_{y} - A_{y}) = 3*6 = 18 units^{2}$

The perimeter is given by:

$p = 2*(3 + 6) = 18 units$

I hope it helps you!

A school trip to the zoo costs $36, which includes $8 for the bus ticket and cost for 2 passes. Both passes cost the same amount

elena55 [62]

14$ because you subtract 8 - 36 = 28 then divide 28 by 2 and get 14
