This is my honest opinion

Science is not just facts. Science, to me, is full of theories and hypotheses that can be proved wrong. Yes, a majority of it is actually factual, but in the future it may or may not be true.

I hope it helps.

Answer:
(assuming this isn't actually for math?) but one reason is bc science shouldn't be always taken as fact. science can be wrong.

Explanation:
not all but many scientists are skeptical and won't accept anything without proof, and even when things are accepted as right they can still be wrong later. example: humans once believed the planets revolved around the earth and that the earth was flat (even, some people still believe the earth is flat today....) but both those things are generally unaccepted today.

science shouldn't be viewed as fact always, because accepting everything as fact will lead to misassumptions and false information. it's like we should never take things for granted

Please help me simplify this equation!

X^2(x+4) x 3x^2(x-1)
(X^3+4x^2) x (3x^3 -3x^2)
3x^6 -3x^5+12x^5 -12x^4
3x^6 +9x^5-12x^4
I think that’s how you do it

Could you please help me with questions 36 & 37?

We have to determine if the functions are linear or not.

We can do this by rearranging the equations in this form:

$y=mx+b$

where m and b are constants.

<em>NOTE: There are many ways to prove that a function is linear, but this is the easiest for this question. </em>

36.

$\begin{gathered} x+\frac{1}{y}=7 \\ \frac{1}{y}=-x+7 \end{gathered}$

As this function can not be written in the form y=mx+b, then it is not linear.

37.

$\begin{gathered} \frac{x}{2}=10+\frac{2y}{3} \\ \frac{x}{2}-10=\frac{2y}{3} \\ \frac{2y}{3}=\frac{1}{2}x-10 \\ y=\frac{3}{2}(\frac{1}{2}x-10) \\ y=\frac{3}{4}x-15 \end{gathered}$

This function is now in the form y=mx+b, where m=3/4 and b=-15. Then, this function is a linear function.

Answer:

36. Non-linear.

37. Linear.
