Mathematics

Reduce the number of terms in the expression by operating on like terms 
for example
Simplify
x^2 - 3x + 4 + x^2 + 6x - 6

the like terms are the x^2 and x^2 , -3x and 6x and  4 and -6 

so we have
x^2 + x^2 - 3x + 6x + 4 - 6
= 2x^2 + 3x - 2

This is the simplified form of the original expression

Here is a worked example

<em>{[24÷12]+13}</em>
<em>{2+13}</em>
<em>15÷3
=5
</em>Remember
<em>PEMDAS</em>
<em>Parenthesis first</em>
<em>Exponents</em>
<em>Multiplication and division what ever comes first</em>
<em>Addition and subtraction what ever comes first</em>

What Values of X will make x2 (Exponent of 2) =16 true? HELPPPPPP!!
Lynna [10]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² = 16 ( take the square root of both sides )

\sqrt{x^2} = ± \sqrt{16} ← note plus or minus sign

x = ± 4

Since 4² = 4 × 4 = 16 and

(- 4)² = - 4 × - 4 = 16

what is the equation of a line that passes through the points (0,5) and (4,8)? write the answer in slope-intercept form.
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

<h2>y = 3/4x + 5</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form:

y=mx+b

m - slope

b - y-intercept → (0, b)

The formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have the points (4, 8) and (0, 5) → b = 5.

Calculate the slope:

m=\dfrac{5-8}{0-4}=\dfrac{-3}{-4}=\dfrac{3}{4}

Therefore we have the equation of the line:

y=\dfrac{3}{4}x+5

the profit for a taco truck business follows this function, where x is the price of a taco(in dollars) and y is the daily profit
Sati [7]

Answer:

x = √2 + 2, -√2 + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -2(x-2)² + 4

-2(x-2)² + 4 = 0 --- replace y with 0

-2(x - 2)² = -4 --- subtract 4 from both sides

(x - 2)² = \frac{-4}{-2} --- divide both sides by -2

(x - 2)² = 2 --- simplify

x - 2 = +-√2 --- square root both sides

x - 2 = √2 --- split into 2 equations

x - 2 = -√2

x = √2 + 2 --- solve first equation

x = -√2 + 2 --- solve second equation

x = √2 + 2, -√2 + 2
