Use a number line to add 3 + (-5).

Mathematics
1 answer:
jekas [21]3 years ago

Answer: -2

Step-by-step explanation: When your adding and subtracting positives and negatives, it helps to use a number line to visualise what's going on in the problem.

On a number line zero is in the middle. All numbers to the right of zero are positive and all numbers to the left of zero are negative.

So when your simplifying a problem like 3 + (-5), we start at zero and positive 3 takes us to the right. From there, -5 moves us 5 units back to the left and we end up -2. So 3 + (-5) simplifies to -2.

I have attached a number line along with my work

for this problem below.

Find the limit , picture provided
V125BC [204]

Answer:

d. does not exist

Step-by-step explanation:

The given limits are;

\lim_{x \to 4} f(x) =5, \lim_{x \to 4} g(x) =0 and \lim_{x \to 4} h(x) =-2

We want to find

\lim_{x \to 4} \frac{f}{g}(x)= \lim_{x \to 4} \frac{f(x)}{g(x)}

By the properties of limits, we have;

\lim_{x \to 4} \frac{f}{g}(x)= \frac{\lim_{x \to 4} f(x)}{\lim_{x \to 4} g(x)}

This gives us;

\lim_{x \to 4} \frac{f}{g}(x)= \frac{5}{0}

Division by zero is not possible. Therefore the limit does not exist.

I'm confused on how to create ratios
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Latoya:

cran : lem = 2 1/5 : 1 4/5

= 11/5 : 9/5

= 11 : 9

Lem : total = 9 : 20

Parker:

cran : lem = 2 1/2 : 3 1/2

= 5/2 : 7/2

= 5 : 7

Lem : total = 7 : 12

Jeffery babysits for 4 dollars per hour, he also works as a math tutor for 7 dollars per hour. He is only allowed to work 13 hou
Oksana_A [137]

Given:

Jeffery babysits for 4 dollars per hour and works as a math tutor for 7 dollars per hour.

He is only allowed to work 13 hours total per week.

He wants to make at least 65 dollars.

To find:

The system of inequalities to represent this situation.

Solution:

Let x be the number of hours he babysits per week and y be the number of hours h works as a math tutor.

He is only allowed to work 13 hours total per week.  It means sum of x and y must be less than or equal to 13.

x+y\leq 13

He wants to make at least 65 dollars. It means total earnings must be greater than or equal to 65.

4x+7y\geq 65

Number of hours can not be negative.

x\geq 0, y\geq 0.

Therefore, the required system of inequalities contains some equations,  x+y\leq 13,4x+7y\geq 65 and x, y\geq 0.
