Why are units of measure important when solving real-word problems?

<h2>Answer:</h2>

In physics, we always measure quantities and compare them with a standard. That standard defines a unit of the quantity. Suppose you want to measure the length of a car, so you use a meter stick, which is the standard for measuring distances. Then, <em>why are units of measure important when solving real-world problems?</em> Well, because when solving problems that involve equations, they need to be dimensionally consistent, but what does it mean? it means that you can't add two terms having different units. For instance, you can't add apples with tables!

1.) What is slope and how is it determined from an graph?
Daniel [21]

1) Slope tell about the steepness of the line.

To find slope we look at the rise and run between 2 points.


attached the graph of line with slope


slope = \frac{change in y values ( rise)}{change in x value (run)}

= \frac{2}{1}

So slope = 2

2) we have x and y intercepts


x intercept is the point where the line crosses x axis


x intercept at x= 3


y intercept is the point where the line crosses y axis


y intercept at y= 6

3) Linear equation is y= 3x+2

function is f(x) = 3x+2

We can graph it using slope and y intercept


In f(x)= 3x + 2 , slope =3 and y intercept = 2


slope = 3, rise = 3 and run =1


The graph of f(x)= 3x+2 is attached below.

F(x) = x+ + 3<br> g(x) = 4x - 3<br> Given the functions below find (f*g)(-1)
Mashutka [201]

(f×g)(-1) is -14.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Calculate (f×g)(x) by using the formula (f×g)(x) = f(x) × g(x)

⇒ (f×g)(x) = (x + 3)(4x - 3)

⇒ (f×g)(x) = 4x² - 3x + 12x - 9

⇒ (f×g)(x) = 4x² + 9x - 9

  • Step 2: Find (f×g)(-1) by substituting -1 in the place of x

⇒ (f×g)(-1) = 4(-1)² + 9(-1) - 9

⇒ (f×g)(-1) = 4 - 9 - 9 =-14
