Evaluate the expression -5-3+1

Mathematics

Answer:

-7

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule for subtraction, in this case it is -5-3, you change the subtraction sign to addition and use the opposite of the second number, making it -5+(-3) which is -8. Then, you add 1 to -8, and the rule for this specific expression is to take the absolute value of both -8 and 1, then subtract the two, making the expression as of now 8-1. Subtract them, and get 7, but you take the sign of whichever number had the greatest absolute value, which was -8, so now the answer is -7. That's how you get your answer

-5-3+1= -5+(-3)+1

-8+1= |-8|-|1|

8-1= -7 (because you take the sign with the greatest absolute value, which is -8.)

If you borrow $894 for four years at an interest rate of 3%, how much interest will you pay?
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

$1006.20

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an example of compound interest.

To work this out you would first have to convert the percentage into a decimal, you can do this by dividing 3 by 100, which gives you 0.03. You are dividing by 100 as percentages are out of 100. Then you would add 1 to 0.03, which gives you 1.03. This is because you are finding percentage increases. Then you would multiply 894 by 1.03 to the power of 4, which gives you 1006.20. This is because you are finding 3 percent and adding it on and then finding 3 percent of that, this is why we put it to the power of how much time.

1) Divide 3 by 100.

3/100=0.03

2) Add 1 to 0.03.

0.03+1=1.03

3) Multiply 894 by 1.03 to the power of 4.

894*1.03^{4}=1006.20

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]
729. You just do 9 to the power of 3 or 9^3 and you will get 729. If it is not allowed, the answer is 504.(9 x 8 x 7)

Determine (a) the slope of the line parallel to the line whose slope is m=2 and (b) the slope of the line perpendicular to the l
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

(b) \displaystyle -\frac{1}{2} = m

(a) \displaystyle 2 = m

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular Lines have OPPOSITE MULTIPLICATIVE INVERSE <em>RATE OF CHANGES</em> [<em>SLOPES</em>], whereas Parallel Lines have SIMILAR <em>RATE OF CHANGES</em> [SLOPES].

Forgot to do this over winter break. Its due tomorrow and I haven't used my brain for 2 weeks. HELPPP (may have to zoom in)

1. 60,30,90 right triangle. y will be hypotenuse/2, x will be
hypotenuse*sqrt(3)/2. So x = 16*sqrt(3)/2 = 8*sqrt(3), approximately 13.85640646 
y = 16/2 = 8  
2. 45,45,90 right triangle (2 legs are equal length and you have a right angle).
X and Y will be the same length and that will be hypotenuse * sqrt(2)/2. So 
x = y = 8*sqrt(2) * sqrt(2)/2 = 8*2/2 = 8 
 3. Just a right triangle with both legs of known length. Use the Pythagorean theorem 
x = sqrt(12^2 + 5^2) = sqrt(144 + 25) = sqrt(169) = 13  
4. Another right triangle with 1 leg and the hypotenuse known. Pythagorean theorem again. 
y = sqrt(1000^2 - 600^2) = sqrt(1000000 - 360000) = sqrt(640000) = 800  5. A 45,45,90 right triangle. One leg known. The other leg will have the same length as the known leg and the hypotenuse can be discovered with the Pythagorean theorem.  x = 6. y = sqrt(6^2 + 6^2) = sqrt(36+36) = sqrt(72) = sqrt(2 * 36) = 6*sqrt(2), approximately 8.485281374  
6. Another 45,45,90 triangle with the hypotenuse known. Both unknown legs will have the same length. And Pythagorean theorem will be helpful. 
x = y. 
12^2 = x^2 + y^2 
12^2 = x^2 + x^2 
12^2 = 2x^2 
144 = 2x^2 
72 = x^2 
sqrt(72) = x 
6*sqrt(2) = x 
x is approximately 8.485281374  
7. A 30,60,90 right triangle with the short leg known. The hypotenuse will be twice the length of the short leg and the remaining leg can be determined using the Pythagorean theorem. 
y = 11*2 = 22. 
x = sqrt(22^2 - 11^2) = sqrt(484 - 121) = sqrt(363) = sqrt(121 * 3) = 11*sqrt(3). Approximately 19.05255888  
8. A 30,60,90 right triangle with long leg known. Can either have fact that in that triangle, the legs have the ratio of 1:sqrt(3):2, or you can use the Pythagorean theorem. In this case, I'll use the 1:2 ratio between the unknown leg and the hypotenuse along with the Pythagorean theorem. 
x = 2y 
y^2 = x^2 - (22.5*sqrt(3))^2 
y^2 = (2y)^2 - (22.5*sqrt(3))^2 
y^2 = 4y^2 - 1518.75 
-3y^2 = - 1518.75 
y^2 = 506.25 = 2025/4 
y = sqrt(2025/4) = sqrt(2025)/sqrt(4) = 45/2 
Therefore: 
y = 22.5
 x = 2*y = 2*22.5 = 45  
9. Just a generic right triangle with 2 known legs. Use the Pythagorean theorem. 
x = sqrt(16^2 + 30^2) = sqrt(256 + 900) = sqrt(1156) = 34  
10. Another right triangle, another use of the Pythagorean theorem. 
x = sqrt(50^2 - 14^2) = sqrt(2500 - 196) = sqrt(2304) = 48
