Evaluate 5a+3b and (5+a)(3+b) for a=2 and b=4. How is the order of the steps different for the two expressions?

Mathematics

5a+3b
5(2)+3(4)
10+12
22

(5+a)(3+b)
(5+2)(3+4)
(7)(7)
49

The order of the steps differ for the two expressions because for the first expression, you multiply 5a and 3b first. Then, you add them together. However, for the second expression, you add what's inside the parenthesis first then multiply them. So, the order of the steps is the opposite of the other expression.

The coordinates of polygon ABCD are A(-4,-1), B(-2,3), C(2,2), and D(4,-3). Use these coordinates to complete the sentences belo
oee [108]

Answer:

The perimeter of polygon ABCD, to the nearest thousandth units is

22.227 units

The perimeter of polygon ABCD', to the nearest thousandth, would be 20.980 units

The area of polygon ABCD' is 19.5 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates forming the polygon are

A (-4,-1), B(-2,3), C(2,2), and D(4,-3)

The perimeter then is given by the sum of the length of the sides as follows;

Length of line between two X and Y points distance, xi and yj apart is

length XY =  \sqrt{x^2+y^2}

Therefore, the length between points AB is

length AB = \sqrt{(-4 - (-2))^2+(-1-3)^2}

= \sqrt{(-4 +2)^2+(-4)^2} = \sqrt{-2^2+-4^2}  = \sqrt{20}  = 4.472 units

Similarly, length BC is given by

Length BC =  \sqrt{(-4)^2+1^2} =  \sqrt{17} = 4.123 units

Length CD = \sqrt{(-2)^2+5^2} =  \sqrt{29} = 5.385 units

Length DA = \sqrt{(8)^2+(-2)^2} =  \sqrt{68} = 8.246 units

The perimeter is equal to;

length AB + Length BC + Length CD + Length DA

= 4.472 + 4.123 + 5.385 + 8.246 = 22.227 units

If the point D is moved up 2 units and left 1 unit we have

D' = x-1, y+2 where x and y are the coordinates of point D

D(4, -3) → D'((4-1), (-3+2)) = D'(3, -1)

The length D'A =  \sqrt{(7)^2+(0)^2} =  \sqrt{49} =7 units

The perimeter of polygon ABCD'

length AB + Length BC + Length CD + Length D'A

= 4.472 + 4.123 + 5.385 + 7 = 20.980 units.

The area is given by the determinant of the 3 by 3 matrix using Cramer's Rule as follows

 S_{\bigtriangleup} = (\frac{1}{2})|x_1y_2+x_2y_3+x_3y_1-x_1y_3-x_2y_1-x_3y_2|

= (\frac{1}{2})|x_1(y_2-y_3)+x_2(y_3-y_1) +x_3(y_1-y_2)|

Triangle ABC we have

A(-4,-1)

B(-2,3)

C(2,2)

S_{{\bigtriangleup}ABC} = (\frac{1}{2})|x_1(y_2-y_3)+x_2(y_3-y_1) +x_3(y_1-y_2)|

=(\frac{1}{2})|(-4)(3-2)+(-2)(2-(-1)) +2((-1)-3)|

= =(\frac{1}{2})|-4-6 -8|= 9 units^2

Triangle ACD'

A(-4,-1)

C(2,2)

D'(3, -1)

S_{{\bigtriangleup}ACD'} = (\frac{1}{2})|x_1(y_2-y_3)+x_2(y_3-y_1) +x_3(y_1-y_2)|

=(\frac{1}{2})|(-4)(2+1)+(2)(-1+1) +3((-1)-2)| = \frac{21}{2} = 10.5 units²

Area of polygon =   S_{{\bigtriangleup}ABCD'} = S_{{\bigtriangleup}ABC} + S_{{\bigtriangleup}ACD'} = (9 + 10.5) units²

Area of polygon ABCD' = 19.5 units².

What is the equation in standard form of the line that passes through the point (1, 24) and has a slope of -0.6.
lana [24]

Answer:

0.6x+y=24.6

Step-by-step explanation:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-24=-0.6(x-1)

y=-0.6x+0.6+24

y=-0.6x+24.6

y-(-0.6x)=24.6

y+0.6x=24.6

0.6x+y=24.6

This year the boys’ basketball team won 4 times as many games as it lost. The team played a total of 40 games. How many games di
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

The team won 32 games.

Step-by-step explanation:

x = games won

y = games lost

z = total games = 40

x = 4y <em>Won 4 times as many games as it lost</em>

x + y = 40 <em>Games won + games lost = Total games played</em>

4y + y = 40 <em>Sub 4y in for x, as established previously</em>

5y = 40

y = 8

x = 4y

x = 4(8)

x = 32

The team won 32 games.
