Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we will simply plug in the values of a and b into the respective variables in the expression 3ab to "evaluate" the expression.

a = 2; b = 3

3ab

Note, that when variables like a and b are smashed with a constant, the use of multiplication is in play.

3ab = 3 * a * b

With this in mind, let's plug in the values of a and b into the expression.

3ab

= 3 (2) (3)

= 3 (6)

= 18

Hence, 3ab evaluated when a=2 and b=3 is 18.

Cheers.

Andrew [12]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The square numbers are

1² = 1

2² = 4

3² = 9

4² = 16 ← this is the closest perfect square

5² = 25 (not applicable, over 22)

You can buy 20 fluid ounces of shampoo for $4.40 or 24 fluid ounces for $4.80. Which is the better buy? Explain.

lidiya [134]

First you have to do 440 / 20, which is 22 cents per bottle
Next you have to do 480 / 24, which is 20 cents per bottle
20 < 22, so the 24 ounces of shampoo is the correct answer.

In each part that follows, you are given an equation of a line and a point. Find the equation of the line through the given poi

Semmy [17]

Answer:

a) $y=-\frac{1}{9}x$

b) $y-2=-\frac{1}{3} (x-1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write the equation of a line in 3 different forms including slope intercept, point-slope, and standard depending on the information we have. We have a point given and a slope from the equation. We will chose point-slope since we have a point and can find the slope.

Point slope: $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

a) $m\neq 9$ in our new equation because it is perpendicular to it. This means we will need to change it into its negative reciprocal which is $m=-\frac{1}{9}$ .

We will substitute $m=-\frac{1}{9}$ and $x_1=0\\y_1=0$ .

$y-0=-\frac{1}{9} (x-0)$

This simplifies to:

$y=-\frac{1}{9}x$

b) The equation y=3x+4 follows y=mx+b. For the perpendicular line, $m\neq 3$ . We will need to change it into its negative reciprocal which is $m=-\frac{1}{3}$ .

We will substitute $m=-\frac{1}{3}$ and $x_1=1\\y_1=2$ .

$y-2=-\frac{1}{3} (x-1)$
