Combine like terms to simplify the expression below 5y-8x-y+12x

6 0

There are like terms 5y and y. Since there is a subtraction sign in front of y, we would subtract that from 5y, which becomes 4y. 8x and 12x are also like terms (x). Since 12x has an addition sign in front, indicating it's positive, we would add it to -8x (which is negative b/c of the subtraction sign in front). 12x + -8x = 4x. The expression is 4y + 4x.

Hope this helps!

<span>Since this is an SAT Math Level 2 problem derivatives should not be required to find the solution. To find "How many more hours of daylight does the day with max sunlight have than May 1," all you need to understand is that sin(x) has a maximum value of 1.

The day with max sunlight will occur when sin(2*pi*t/365) = 1, giving the max sunlight to be 35/3 + 7/3 = 14 hours

Evaluating your equation for sunlight when t = 41, May 1 will have about 13.18 hours of sunlight.

The difference is about 0.82 hours of sunlight.

Even though it is unnecessary for this problem, finding the actual max sunlight day can be done by solving for t when d = 14, of by the use of calculus. Common min/max problems on the SAT Math Level 2 involve sin and cos, which both have min values of -1 and max values of 1, and also polynomial functions with only even powered variables or variable expressions, which have a min/max when the variable or variable expression equals 0.

For example, f(x) = (x-2)^4 + 4 will have a min value of 4 when x = 2. Hope this helps</span>

The coordinates of three vertices of a rectangle are (4,3), (3,0), and (-2,0). what are the coordinates of the fourth vertex?

KATRIN_1 [288]

(-1, 3)
this is because in a coordinate plane, using the coordinates you gave it is the missing vertice is (-1,3)
