Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you distribute the 1st equation out, you will be able to see that it is -1.5x - 2.5 while the other equation is -1.5x + 2.5. Since you have to distribute the negative, they are not equivalent.

Answer:

Both expressions are not equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

-0.5(3x+5) = -1.5x - 2.5

–1.5x+2.5  = -1.5x + 2.5

The first expression results in subtracting 2.5, the second expression results in adding 2.5.

The sum of two numbers is 0. Twice the smaller number subtracted from 3 times the larger number is 10. Let x represent th larger

The sum of two numbers is zero.
x + y = 0
y = -x

<span>Twice the smaller number subtracted from 3 times the larger number is 10.
Let x represent the larger number and y represent the smaller number.

Twice the smaller number: 2y

3 times the larger number: 3x

</span>Twice the smaller number subtracted from 3 times the larger number is 10. 
3x - 2y = 10

-2y = -3x + 10

y = 3/2 x - 5

The equations are:

y = -x
y = 3/2 x - 5

The answer is the first choice.

Vanessa throws a tennis ball in the air. The function h(t) = -15t2 + 45t + 10 represents the distance in feet, that the ball is
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

43.75feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the height of the tennis ball expressed as;

h(t) = -15t^2 + 45t + 10

At maximum height, the velocity of the ball is zero

v = dh/dt

dh/dt = -30t + 45

Since dh/dt = 0, hence;

0 = -30t + 45

30t = 45

t = 45/30

t = 3/2

t = 1.5secs

Substitute t = 1.5 into the expression given

h(1.5) = -15(1.5)^2 + 45(1.5) + 10

h(1.5) = -15(2.25)+67.5+10

h(1.5) = -33.75+77.5

h(1.5) = 43.75feet

Hence the maximum height of the ball is 43.75feet

Value of x is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Here, x is the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle. Use the trigonometric ratio cosine to find x.

cos 28° = adjacent side/hypotenuse = 11/x

⇒ x = 11/cos 28° = 11/-0.96 = -11.46 ≈ 10 (rounding off to nearest tenth)
