Evaluate -a - 12a 2 for a = -1

Mathematics
1 answer:
Serhud [2]3 years ago
6 0
The answer is -11
You put "-1" in place of all the "a"s and get 
-(-1) - 12(-1)^2
-(-1) is just 1, and (-1)^2 is "1"
We are then left with 1-12(1) which is 1-12 which is -11

2x + y = 12<br> 4x - 3y = 2
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

The value of x for equation is 3.4

The value of y for equation is 5.2  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The two linear equation are

2 x + y = 12           ........A

4 x - 3 y = 2              .........B

Now, Solving both equations , we get

3 × ( 2 x + y ) + (4 x - 3 y) = 3 × 12 - 2

Or, 6 x + 3 y + 4 x - 3 y = 36 - 2

Or, (6 x + 4 x) + (3 y - 3 y) = 34

Or, 10 x + 0 = 34

∴  x = \dfrac{34}{10}

i.e x = 3.4

So, The value of x for equation , x = 3.4

Put the value of x into eq A

∵ 2 x + y = 12

Or, y = 12 - 2 x

Or, y = 12 - 2 × 3.4

Or, y = 12 - 6.8

∴ y = 5.2

So, The value of y for equation , y = 5.2

Hence, The value of x for equation is 3.4  and The value of y for equation is  5.2   Answer

What is the average of the four smallest of integers ?
Elanso [62]
This question is easier than it seems. If there are 9 consecutive integers with the mean being 16, then 16 must be the median. So just add four on top and four below 16 to give you your range of 9 values, 12-20. 12+13+14+15+16+17+18+19+20=144, 144/9=16. So the mean of the first four numbers is (12+13+14+15)/4= 13.5. If you check, 13.5 is also the median of these four numbers.

Find an equation for the nth term of the sequence. <br><br> -4, -16, -64, -256, ...
Andrews [41]
This is a geometric sequence  with first term a1 = -4 and common ratio r = 4

so nth term  = a1* r^(n-1)

                   = -4 *4^(n-1)

Only thing I need to know is what to do for the x on y = x + 3 and y = x
Ronch [10]

Answer:

Think of y = mx + b,

With y = x + 3, m = 1 so the slope is one, and b = 3 which is the y-intercept, so plot the point (0,3) on the y-axis.

To find the next point to plot go up 1 and over to the right 1 because slope is rise over run.

With y = x, the slope is still 1, but there is no y-intercept, so you plot the point (0,0), and to find the next point on that line, go up 1 and over the right 1 because m=1
