Which equation demonstrates the distributive property? A) 2 (5 + 7) = 2 (7 + 5) B) 2 (5 + 7) = 2 × 5 + 2 × 7 C) (2 × 5) × 7 = 2

× (5 × 7) D) 7 × (2 × 5) = 7 × (5 × 2)

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property is when you distribute the values in a parenthesis with the outside multiplying factor

2*(5+7)= 2*5 + 2*7

2*(12) = 10 +14

24 = 24

distributive property holds true

The vertices of ∆ABC are A(-2, 2), B(6, 2), and C(0, 8). The perimeter of ∆ABC is units is? What is the area?

11111nata11111 [884]

we have

$A(-2, 2),B(6, 2),C(0, 8)$

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

The perimeter of the triangle is equal to

$P=AB+BC+AC$

and

the area of the triangle is equal to

$A=\frac{1}{2}*base *heigth$

in this problem

$base=AB\\heigth=DC$

we know that

The distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

Step $1$

<u>Find the distance AB</u>

$A(-2, 2),B(6, 2)$

Substitute the values in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(2-2)^{2}+(6+2)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(0)^{2}+(8)^{2}}$

$dAB=8\ units$

Step $2$

<u>Find the distance BC</u>

$B(6, 2),C(0, 8)$

Substitute the values in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(8-2)^{2}+(0-6)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(6)^{2}+(-6)^{2}}$

$dBC=6\sqrt{2}\ units$

Step $3$

<u>Find the distance AC</u>

$A(-2, 2),C(0, 8)$

Substitute the values in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(8-2)^{2}+(0+2)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(6)^{2}+(2)^{2}}$

$dAC=2\sqrt{10}\ units$

Step $4$

<u>Find the distance DC</u>

$D(0, 2),C(0, 8)$

Substitute the values in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(8-2)^{2}+(0-0)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(6)^{2}+(0)^{2}}$

$dDC=6\ units$

Step $5$

<u>Find the perimeter of the triangle</u>

$P=AB+BC+AC$

substitute the values

$P=8\ units+6\sqrt{2}\ units+2\sqrt{10}\ units$

$P=22.81\ units$

therefore

The perimeter of the triangle is equal to $22.81\ units$

Step $6$

<u>Find the area of the triangle</u>

$A=\frac{1}{2}*base *heigth$

in this problem

$base=AB=8\ units\\heigth=DC=6\ units$

substitute the values

$A=\frac{1}{2}*8*6$

$A=24\ units^{2}$

therefore

the area of the triangle is $24\ units^{2}$

if £500 is invested for 3 years at a rate of compound interest of 4% per annum how much will be in the account after three years

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

£562.43

Step-by-step explanation:

£500 is invested for 3 years at a rate of compound interest of 4% per annum how much will be in the account after three years

Given data

P= £500

t= 3 years

r= 4%

The expression for the compound interest is given as

A= P(1+r)^t

substitute

A= 500(1+0.04)^3

A= 500(1.04)^3

A= 500*1.124864

A= 562.432

Hence the final amount is £562.43

I need help with this one asap please and thank you

inna [77]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

A

(m² - 3m + 2) / (m² - m)

we see due to a little bit of experience with expressions and multiplications of expressions that

(m² - 3m + 2) = (m - 2)(m - 1)

(m² - m) = m(m - 1)

so,

(m - 2)(m - 1) / (m(m - 1)) = (m - 2) / m

so, that's not it.

B

(m² - 2m + 1) / (m - 1)

we see again

(m² - 2m + 1) = (m - 1)(m - 1)

so,

(m - 1)(m - 1) / (m - 1) = m - 1

so, that's not it.

C

(m² - m - 2) / (m² - 1)

we see again

(m² - m - 2) = (m - 2)(m + 1)

and

(m² - 1) = (m + 1)(m - 1)

so,

(m - 2)(m + 1) / ((m + 1)(m - 1)) = (m - 2) / (m - 1)

yes, that is the solution.

D

(2m² - 4m) / (2(m - 2))

2m(m - 2) / (2(m - 2)) = 2m/2 = m

no, that is not a solution.
