Why are the equations w - x x = w and w x - x = w called identities?

1 answer:

5 0

They are called identities because:
w-x = 0
w = x (carry x to the other side) is the same as x = w

in the other case:
wx-x = w / divide by w on both side
x -x = 0
x = x (carry x to the other side)

In both cases the equations are the same.

Answer:

Value of x1 = 10 and x2 = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

$when \: we \: multiply \: the \: above \: matrices \\ we \: get \\ 2x1 + 6x2 = 2 \: \: \: \: and \\ 0x1 + 1x2 = - 3 \\ then \: \: x2 = - 3 \\ on \: substituting \: x2 = - 3 \:\\ in \: first \: equation \: \\ 2x1 + 6( - 3) = 2 \\ 2x1 - 18 = 2 \\ 2x1 = 20 \\ x1 = \frac{20}{2} \\ x1 = 10$

PLEASE ANSWER! When a trinomial is factored as (x+m)(x+n), what is the sum of m and n?

Temka [501]

C. The coefficient of the x-term of the trinomial

Again, here's your reason:
(x+m)(x+n)
x^2 +xm+nx +mn
x^2 + x (m+n) + mn

As you can clearly see that the sum of m and n equal the coefficient of x term so, the correct option is C.
