Answer: Option D

Their sum is always zero

Step-by-step explanation:

Given any number x, the additive inverse of x is -x.

For example, the additive inverse of 3 is - 3, the additive inverse of 2.2 is -2.2.

In this way, note that adding a number with the additive inverse of this number will always result in the number zero.

$x + (-x) = 0$

Therefore, the correct option is option D

Answer:

Option D is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The additive inverse of a number is the same number with the negative sign

i.e. if we have a number 1 then it's additive inverse would be -1

So if we add both the number and its additive inverse the answer would be zero.

1+(-1) = 0

So, Option D their sum is always zero is correct.

What is the perimeter of a triangle with the side lengths 4 cm, 6 cm, and (3y-2) cm?

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

P = 4 + 6 + (3y - 2) Remove the brackets

P = 10 + 3y - 2 Combine

P = 8 + 3y

Note 3y must be less than 8. That's because 2 sides of any triangle must be larger than the 3rd side or else you don't have a triangle.

Answer:

We have the coldest value of temperature $T(\frac{3}{4},0) = -9/16$ . and the hottest value is $T(-(3/4),\frac{\sqrt{7}}{4})=\frac{5}{16}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to take the derivative with respect of x and y, and equal to zero to find the local minimums.

The temperature equation is:

$T(x,y)=x^{2}+2y^{2}-\frac{3}{2}x$

Let's take the partials derivatives.

$T_{x}(x,y)=2x-\frac{3}{2}=0$

$T_{y}(x,y)=4y=0$

So, we can find the critical point (x,y) of T(x,y).

$2x-\frac{3}{2}=0$

$x=\frac{3}{4}$

$4y=0$

$y=0$

The critical point is (3/4,0) so the temperature at this point is: $T(\frac{3}{4},0)=(\frac{3}{4})^{2}+2(0)^{2}-(\frac{3}{2})(\frac{3}{4})$

$T(\frac{3}{4},0)=-\frac{9}{16}$

Now, we need to evaluate the boundary condition.

$x^{2}+y^{2}=1$

We can solve this equation for y and evaluate this value in the temperature.

$y=\pm \sqrt{1-x^{2}}$

$T(x,\sqrt{1-x^{2}})=x^{2}+2(1-x^{2})-\frac{3}{2}x$

$T(x,\sqrt{1-x^{2}})=-x^{2}-\frac{3}{2}x+2$

Now, let's find the critical point again, as we did above.

$T_{x}(x,\sqrt{1-x^{2}})=-2x-\frac{3}{2}=0$

$x=-\frac{3}{4}$

Evaluating T(x,y) at this point, we have:

$T(-(3/4),\sqrt{1-(-3/4)^{2}})=-(-\frac{3}{4})^{2}-\frac{3}{2}(-\frac{3}{4})+2$

$T(-(3/4),\frac{\sqrt{7}}{4})=\frac{5}{16}$

Now, we can see that at point (3/4,0) we have the coldest value of temperature $T(\frac{3}{4},0) = -9/16$ . On the other hand, at the point $-(3/4),\frac{\sqrt{7}}{4})$ we have the hottest value of temperature, it is $T(-(3/4),\frac{\sqrt{7}}{4})=\frac{5}{16}$ .

I hope it helps you!
