Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

-3z -( -z -2)

The first step is to distribute the minus sign

-3z --z --2

A negative negative is a positive

-3z +z +2

Then combine the like terms

-3z+z +2

Answer

-2z+2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You first distribute within the parentheses which is -(-z-2). This is going to make everything positive as everything in the parentheses is negative. You should get z+2. Next, you plug that back in. It should be-3z+z+2. You simplify to get -2z+2. Hope this helps!

the school newspaper has a circulation of 500 and sells for $.035 a copy. the students decide to raise the price to increase the

Alik [6]

Let x be the number of times they raise the price on the newspaper. Then the new cost of the newspaper is

$.35+.05x$

Let y be the newspaper they sell, then the income will be

$y(.35+.05x)$

Now, we know that the circulation is of 500, assuming that they sold every newspaper at the original price now the number the will sell will be

$y=500-20x$

Plugging the value of y in the first expression we have that the income will be

$\begin{gathered} f(x)=(500-20x)(.35+\text{0}.5x)=175+25x-7x-x^2 \\ =-x^2+18x+175 \end{gathered}$

Then the income is given by the function

$f(x)=-x^2+18x+175$

To find the maximum value of this functions (thus the maximum income) we need to take the derivative of the function,

$\begin{gathered} \frac{df}{dx}=\frac{d}{dx}(-x^2+18x+175) \\ =-2x+18 \end{gathered}$

no we equate the derivative to zero and solve for x.

$\begin{gathered} \frac{df}{dx}=0 \\ -2x+18=0 \\ -2x=-18 \\ x=\frac{-18}{-2} \\ x=9 \end{gathered}$

This means that we have an extreme value of the function when x=9. Now we need to find out if this value is a maximum or a minimum. To do this we need to take the second derivative of the function, then

$\begin{gathered} \frac{d^2f}{dx^2}=\frac{d}{dx}(\frac{df}{dx}) \\ =\frac{d}{dx}(-2x+18) \\ =-2 \end{gathered}$

Since the second derivative is negative in the point x=9, we conclude that this value is a maximum of the function.

With this we conclude that the number of times that they should raise the price to maximize the income is 9. This means that they will raise the price of the newspaper (9)($0.05)=$0.45.

Therefore the price to maximize the income is $0.35+$0.45=$0.80.

Natalee wanted to demonstrate the volume of a square pyramid. To do this, she took a hollowed out pyramid that has a base of 25

swat32

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Natalee transferred water from a square pyramid to a cube. To calculate how many times she will need to dump the water from the pyramid into the cube to completely fill the cube, we divide the volume of the cube by the volume of the square pyramid. Hence:

Number of times = volume of cube / volume of pyramid

The perimeter of the pyramid base = 25 in, hence the length of one side of the bae = 25 / 4 = 6.25 in

Volume of square pyramid = base² × (height / 3) = (6.25 in)² * (5 in / 3) = 65.1 in³

Volume of cube = 125 in³

Number of times = 125 in³ / 65.1 in³ = 1.92

Which statement below about roots is false.Immersive Reader (5 Points) Simplified radicals have a positive and a negative root.

scoray [572]

Answer:

Statement (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

Which statement below about roots is false?

Let's arrange the statements by assigning option-letters a, b, c, d to them.

(A) Simplified radicals have a positive and a negative root.

This is true, as the root of any number is either a positive or a negative; especially if the rooting index is an even number like 2 or 4. For example, the square root (when the index is 2) of 9 is either +3 or -3. To check, find their squares. +3 x +3 = 9 and -3 x -3 = 9.

(B) A radicand is the symbol used when working with roots.

This statement is false, as the name for the symbol used in root operations is "radical symbol". A radicand is the number or expression whose roots are about to be found. It is the expression that lies under or inside the radical symbol!

Exponents are the powers to which mathematical expressions are raised. Roots are the indexes by which mathematical expressions are divided. Exponents are hence the opposites or inverses of roots.

(D) Roots can be squared, cubed, quadrupled, or raised to higher powers.

Yes! The root of a mathematical expression or figure can be raised to any number or power, be it 2 (square), 3 (cube), 4 (quadruple), 5 (quintuple) or 100 (cent).
