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!

Determine if the functions are even, odd or neither. f(x) = -5x4 - 2 and g(x) = x3 + 2x
Setler [38]
Try this option:
the rule: if f(-x)=f(x), then the function f(x) is even, if f(-x)=-f(x) then the function is odd.
1. f(x)=-5x⁴-2;
if to substitute x→(-x), then f(-x)=-5*(-x)⁴-2; ⇔ f(-x)=-5x⁴-2, in other words f(x)=f(-x), it means that this function is even.
2. f(x)=x³+2x.
if to substitute x→(-x), then f(-x)=(-x)³+2*(-x); ⇔ f(-x)=-(x³+2x), in other words f(-x)=-f(x), it means that this function is odd.

lilavasa [31]
1/12 hour = 5 minutes, 2 weeks is 14 days, so 5*15 = the amount of time he brushes his teeth so you would need to change from hours to minutes
