Answer:

B) -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

If [x/2]=0 then x/2 is a number such that the least integer greater than or equal to x/2 is 0. We can rewrite this as the inequality x/2≤0. Then, the value of x in C, D and E is wrong because they are positive numbers, then x/2 would be a positive number which contradicts this inequality.

Now, 0 is the least integer that satisfies this inequality, therefore we cannot have that x/2≤-1 since -1 is an integer and -1<0. Then x/2>-1. This discards A as wrong, because for x=-2, x/2=-1, contrary to x/2>-1.

Thus B is the right answer. To verify, if x=-3/2, then x/2=-3/4 and we have that -1<-3/4≤0 as required.

Answer:

\textsf{A)} \quad 5u^3-2u^2+5u+8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression:

(-2u^3+5u-1)+(7u^3-2u^2+9)

Remove parentheses:

\implies -2u^3+5u-1+7u^3-2u^2+9

Collect like terms:

\implies -2u^3+7u^3-2u^2+5u-1+9

Combine like terms:

\implies 5u^3-2u^2+5u+8

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

y^2 + 16y + 64 = 0

(y + 8)(y+8) = 0

y + 8 = 0

y = -8

y + 8 = 0

y = -8

Use the rules of negative numbers to calculate -6 + -6 - -2
yaroslaw [1]
-6+ -6- -2
Adding a negative is the same as subtracting a positive.
-6 - 6 - -2
Subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive.
-6 - 6 + 2
Subtracting a number from a negative number is like adding the positive numbers, just remember to put the negative sign in front of the number.
-12 + 2
Adding a positive number to a negative number is like subtracting a positive from another positive, but don't forget the negative sign when you're done.
-12 +2 = -10
