Answer:

Here's one way to do it.

Step-by-step explanation:

-24 ÷ (-4)

-24 is the final number on the number line

-4 means you count by 4s on the number line moving backwards.

Start at 0 facing forward.
Move backwards in steps of four units from 0 to -24.
Count the number of steps you took (six).

Answer: +6 (The sign is + because you are still facing forward).

Step-by-step explanation:

The shirt comes in the following colors: blue, stone, rust, green, plum, and indigo

Number of colors the shirt comes in = 6

The shirt comes in the following sizes: small (S), medium (M), large (L), extra large (XL), and extra extra large (XXL)

Number of sizes the shirt comes in = 5

No. of colors * No. of sizes * No. of styles

6 * 5 * 2

60 shirts

So, 60 types of cotton chambray shirts can be produced from the given options of colors, sizes and styles.

The graph of f(x) = x3 − 7x − 6 is shown. Based on the graph, what are all of the solutions to f(x) = x3 − 7x − 6? x = −6 x = −2

pogonyaev

F(x)=x^3-7x-6 Since I don't have the graph and this is not a perfect cube, I will have to rely on Newton :P

x-(f(x)/(dy/dx))

x-(x^3-7x-6)/(3x^2-7)

(2x^3+6)/(3x^2-7), letting x1=0

0, -6/7, -.988, -.9999, -.99999999999, -1

(x^3-7x-6)/(x+1)

x^2 r -x^2-7x-6
-x r -6x-6
-6 r 0

(x+1)(x^2-x-6)=0

(x+1)(x-3)(x+2)=0

x= -2, -1, 3
