Uhhh please help me. I dont know why i dont understand this problem

What you can do is plug in 6 and start by doing the first machine first, then the second. If this doesn't work, do the second machine, then the first machine.

The order that works is second machine, then first machine.

Second Machine:

y = $(6)^{2} -6$ = 36 - 6 = 30

Plug into first machine now.

First Machine:

y = $\sqrt{(30) - 5} = \sqrt{25} = 5$

We see that the result is 5.

b. If we were to do the order of second machine, then first machine, we will never get a negative result (or -5 for that matter), due to the fact that you can't algebraically square root a negative number.

However, if we were to do the order of first machine, second machine, we can get a negative number. To get -5, we plug in 6 for x in the first machine, getting an answer of 1. We plug this into the second machine, getting 1^2 - 6, which results in -5.

1-7. The absolute value of a value is the positive version of that value.

a. |54| = 54

b. $-|-7\frac{3}{5}|$ = $-7\frac{3}{5}$

c. |3| - |-1| = 3 - 1 = 2

d. |2.2 - 5.13| = |-2.93| = 2.93

1-8.

a.

(5 boxes on each side)

_

| || || || || || |

(6 boxes on each side)

b. The amount of squares on each side of the figure increases by 1.

c. There would be 1 square, because we know that the pattern is there is 2 squares added to the next figure, 1 at each end. If we go back a figure, we take away 2 squares.

1-9.

a. -42 - 17 = -59

b. 8 - (-9) = 8 + 9 = 17

c. 8(-9) = -72

d. -42 ÷ (-7) = 6

e. -2(-3)(-4) = 6(-4) = 24

f. -18 - 7 = -25

g. $(-5)^{2}$ = 25

h. $-5^{2} = -(5)^2 = -(25)$ = -25

i. $\sqrt{49}$ = 7

1-10. x = 2 Plug 2 in for x, then solve.

a. y = 7 - 3(2) = 7 - 6 = 1

b. y = $(2)^2 -1$ = 4 - 1 = 3

c. y = $\frac{18}{2}$ = 9

Add a meeting six people each one another by shaking hands. If each person must shake hands once with every other person in the

Phantasy [73]

The number of handshakes is the number of ways 6 objects can be selected 2 at a time.

.. C(6,2) = 6·5/(2·1) = 15

The appropriate choice is

... C) 15

_____

Consider that each person can shake hands with 5 others. That's a total of 6*5 = 30 handshakes, but it counts both A shaking with B and B shaking with A. If each pair of persons only shakes hands once, the number of handshakes is 30/2 = 15.
