Evaluate -1-3-(-9)+(-5)

Mathematics
1 answer:
babunello [35]3 years ago
3 0

To evaluate this expression, we need to remember that subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number, and that adding a negative number is the same as subtracting a positive number. Using this knowledge, let's begin to simplify the expression below:

-1 - 3 - (-9) + (-5)

Because addition of a negative number is the same as subtraction of a positive number, we can change + (-5) to -5, as shown below:

-1 - 3 - (-9) - 5

Next, because we know that subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number, we can change - (-9) to + 9, as shown below:

-1 - 3 + 9 - 5

Now, we can subtract the first two terms and begin to evaluate our expression:

-4 + 9 - 5

Next, we can add the first two numbers of the expression:

5 - 5

Now, we can subtract our last two numbers, which gives us our answer:

0

Therefore, your answer is 0.

Hope this helps!

Find the coordinates of the three points on the graph of y = (1/2)x² -2x whose x-values are −2, 0, and 4.
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

y = 6

y = 0

y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

y=\frac{1}{2}x² -2x

When, x = -2

y=\frac{1}{2}\times (-2)^2-2\times(-2)\\\Rightarrow y=\frac{1}{2}4+4\\\Rightarrow y=2+4\\\Rightarrow y=6

y = 6

When, x = 0

y=\frac{1}{2}\times (0)^2-2\times(0)\\\Rightarrow y=0+0\\\Rightarrow y=0

y = 0

When, x = 4

y=\frac{1}{2}\times (4)^2-2\times(4)\\\Rightarrow y=\frac{1}{2}16-8\\\Rightarrow y=8-8\\\Rightarrow y=0

y = 0
