A number decreased by fifteen is less than two.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Aliun [14]3 years ago

Let us assume number of n.

The number is decreased by 15.

Decreasing by 15 means, we need to subtract 15 from that number.

So, it would be come n-15.

Now, it is said that the number would become less than 2.

So, we need to setup an inequality:

n-15 is less than 2.

<h3>n-15 < 2  : required inequality .</h3>

Adding 15 on both sides, we get

n-15+15 < 2+15

n < 17.

<h3>So, we could say the number would be less than 17.</h3>

It takes 36 nails to weigh one pound. How many nails would it take to weigh 7 wholes and 2/3 pounds?
o-na [289]
36 * 7  gives you the number of nails in the whole pounds
36 * 2/3 gives you the fraction part

7 * 36 = 252
2/3 * 36 = 24

Total nails = 252 + 24 = 276 nails

Help I’m not sure how to answer this
Drupady [299]

Answer:

option A is the correct choice

Step-by-step explanation:

The trigonometric equation you are using has a general form

y = A* tan w*(x - r)

Where

A is the amplitude of the function

w is the frequency rad/s

r  is the phase shift

In your case

A = 2

B = w = 3

r = pi/2

y = 2* tan 3*(x - pi/2)

If s(x) = x - 7 and t(x) = 4x2 – x + 3, which expression is equivalent to<br> to (t•s )(x)?
serg [7]

Answer:

(t•s )(x) = 4x^3 - 29x^2 + 10x - 21

Step-by-step explanation:

(t•s )(x) is the product of functions s and t:

(t•s )(x) = ( 4x^2 - x + 3)(x - 7).  Applying the Distributive Property of Multiplication, we get:

(t•s )(x) = 4x^3 - 28x^2 - x^2 + 7x + 3x - 21

which needs to be simplified by combining like terms:

(t•s )(x) = 4x^3 - 29x^2 + 10x - 21
