Answer:

n= -9

Step-by-step explanation:

-1/3(n+15) = -1/3 * n and -1/3* 15

-1/3*n=  -1/3n

-1/3*15= -5

-1/3n -5= -2

Add 5 to both sides

-1/3n = 3

Now divide 3 by -1/3

3/ (-1/3) = -9

n= -9

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distributive formula to solve for n:

-a(b + c) = -ab - ac

So, to solve this you would have to use the distributive property:

-1/3n - 5 = -2

Add 5 to both sides

-1/3n - 5 + 5 = -2 + 5

-1/3n = 3

Now, multiply -3 from both sides

-1/3 * -3 n = 3 * -3

Simplify

n = -9

Hope that helped!!

A cone shaped roof has a diameter of 12 feet a height of 8 feet and a slant of the roof is 10 feet if the roofing cost a total o
vitfil [10]

Answer:

c = 16.392\,\frac{USD}{ft^{2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of the cone shaped roof is:

A_{s} = \pi\cdot (10\,ft)\cdot (6\,ft)

A_{s} \approx 188.496\,ft^{2}

The cost of roofing per square feet is: (USD stands for US dollar)

c = \frac{3089.76\,USD}{188.496\,ft^{2}}

c = 16.392\,\frac{USD}{ft^{2}}

If a polynomial function f(x) has roots -8, 1, and 6i, what must also be a root of f(x)?
Naddik [55]

Answer:

it must also have the root : - 6i

Step-by-step explanation:

If a polynomial is expressed with real coefficients (which must be the case if it is a function f(x) in the Real coordinate system), then if it has a complex root "a+bi", it must also have for root the conjugate of that complex root.

This is because in order to render a polynomial with Real coefficients, the binomial factor  (x - (a+bi)) originated using the complex root would be able to eliminate the imaginary unit, only when multiplied by the binomial factor generated by its conjugate: (x - (a-bi)). This is shown below:

(x-(a+bi))*(x-(a-bi))=\\(x-a-bi)*(x-a+bi)=\\([x-a]-bi)*([x-a]+bi)=\\(x-a)^2-(bi)^2=\\(x-a)^2-b^2(-1)=\\(x-a)^2+b^2

where the imaginary unit has disappeared, making the expression real.

So in our case, a+bi is -6i (real part a=0, and imaginary part b=-6)

Then, the conjugate of this root would be: +6i, giving us the other complex root that also may be present in the real polynomial we are dealing with.

Elevator 1 in a building moved from ground position to a final position of +13 feet. Elevator 2 in the same building moved from
Marina CMI [18]

The correct answer I believe you are looking for is D. Elevator 1 is 13 feet above ground level, and Elevator 2 is 10 feet below ground level.

<u>Explaination:</u>

This is because if you start at (0, 0) Elevator one, will go up 13 on the y axis. Putting it at 13 feet above ground level. If you start Elevator 2 at ground level on (0, 0) and go down 10 it will make it -10 AKA 10 feet below ground level.


I hope this helps! :)
