Combining like terms with negative coefficients −n+(−4)−(−4n)+6

1 answer:

8 0

Remember, if you add negative four, you're really subtracting four, or if you take away negative four, you're really adding four.

-n+(-4)-(-4n)+6
-n-4+4n+6 simplify
{-n+4n are like terms, so combine them. -n+4n is exactly the same as 4n-n, so flip them around if it helps. Just remember to keep the sign with the right number. Same thing with -4+6.}

Answer:

3n+2

Given cos x=0.4762,find the degree measure of x.round your answer to the nearest tenth

alex41 [277]

If you have a calculator, you can use the inverse cos " cos⁻¹ " key. Many upper level books write that as Arccos so as not to confuse you with a negative exponent. We do that because if you take the cosine of any angle, and then the inverse cosine of any angle, it leads you back to the original angle. Think of it as a big "UNDO" button.

To one decimal place, that result is 61.6 degrees.

Find an equation for the parabola with focus at (-5,-4) and vertex at (-5,-3)

sattari [20]

Answer:

$(x+5)^{2}=-4(y+3)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Focus point = (-5, -4)

Vertex point = (-5, -3)

We need to find the equation for the parabola.

Solution:

Since the x-coordinates of the vertex and focus are the same,

so this is a regular vertical parabola, where the x part is squared. Since the vertex is above the focus, this is a right-side down parabola and p is negative.

The vertex of this parabola is at (h, k) and the focus is at (h, k + p). So, directrix is y = k - p.

Substitute y = -4 and k = -3.

$-4 = -3+p$
