What is a postulate?

Mathematics

Answer:

A statement, also known as an axiom, which is taken to be true without proof. Postulates are the basic structure from which lemmas and theorems are derived.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Addition Postulate: If you have one apple and Sally has one apple, when you both add the same quantity to your existing number of apples, you'll still have the same number of apples. Using algebra, the postulate states:

If x = y, then x + 4 = y + 4

The Subtraction Postulate: If you have ten apples and Sally has ten apples, when you both subtract the same quantity of apples from your existing number of apples, you'll still have the same number of apples.

If x = y, then x - 3 = y - 3

Without being repetitive, these same principles apply to both multiplication and division.

The Multiplication Postulate: If x = y, then x * 3 = y * 3

The Division Postulate: If x = y, then x / 7 = y / 7

Answer:

1. 7

2. 5/8

3. 5

4. 20

Step-by-step explanation:

There is one burger that weighs 3/8 pounds, four that weigh 1/2 pound, and two that weigh 3/4 pounds. The difference between the heaviest and the lightest is 3/4-1/8=5/8. The total combined weight is 5 pounds. 5/ 1/4= 5*4=20. Hope this helps!

Escribe una ecuación de la recta que pasa por el punto (5, –8) con pendiente 5.
Nana76 [90]

Considerando la expresión de una ecuación lineal, la ecuación de la recta que pasa por el punto (5, –8) con pendiente 5 es y= 5x - 33.

<h3>Ecuación lineal</h3>

Una ecuación lineal o línea se puede expresar en la forma y = mx + b

donde

  • x y son coordenadas de un punto.
  • m es la pendiente.
  • b es la ordenada al origen y representa la coordenada del punto donde la línea cruza el eje y.

La ecuación lineal se puede expresar también mediante la ecuación punto-pendiente de la recta, que se plantea si se conoce la pendiente de la recta y cualquiera de sus puntos. Con ello queda determinada la recta, conociendo la pendiente  “m” y un punto  (x1, y1) dado:

y - y1= m(x -x1)

<h3>Ecuación de la recta en este caso</h3>

En este caso, la recta que pasa por el punto (5, –8) con pendiente 5.

Reemplazando en la ecuación punto-pendiente de la recta:

y - (-8)= 5(x -5)

Resolviendo:

y + 8= 5(x -5)

Aplicando propiedad distributiva:

y + 8= 5x - 5×5

y + 8= 5x - 25

Aislando la variable "y":

y= 5x - 25 - 8

<u><em>y= 5x - 33</em></u>

Finalmente, la ecuación de la recta que pasa por el punto (5, –8) con pendiente 5 es y= 5x - 33.

A student states that the constant of proportionality is 2.5 since 10 - 7.5 = 2.5.
Svetradugi [14.3K]
I cannot see the table. But if I could that would be helpful.

But, if you were to look at the table see if the numbers are increasing or decreasing for the y column. Once you figure this out, find out how much the numbers are increasing/decreasing by and that should be the answer for the constant of proportionality. If it is decreasing, it would be a negative number. If it is increasing, it would be a positive number.

What is the answer to this equation?<br> 1/2 (4i+8)=-2
Flauer [41]

Answer:

If your looking for I the answer is -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify both sides of the equation

1/2(4i+8)=-2       - Distribute

(1/2) (4i) + (1/2) (8) = -2

The subtract 4 from both sides

Then divide both sides by 2
