X = 2 pointers, y = 3 pointers

x + y = 40......x = 40 - y
2x + 3y = 92

2(40 - y) + 3y = 92
80 - 2y + 3y = 92
-2y + 3y = 92 - 80
y = 12 <=== Jerry's team made 12 three point shots

If a is a negative number, then a(1/a) is equal to -1. If a is a negative number and b is a negative number, then product ab is
Firdavs [7]

Both claims are false. In fact, a and \frac{1}{a} are one the multiplicative inverse of the other. This means, by definition of multiplicative inverse, that

a \cdot \dfrac{1}{a} = 1 \quad\forall a \in \mathbb{R}

So, it doesn't matter if a is positive or negative: the multiplication of one number and its inverse will always be 1: for example,

(-2) \cdot \dfrac{1}{-2} = \dfrac{-2}{-2} = 1

Similarly, when you multiply two number, the sign of the product depends on the sign of the factors as follows:

  • (+) \cdot (+) = (+)
  • (+) \cdot (-) = (-)
  • (-) \cdot (+) = (-)
  • (-) \cdot (-) = (+)

So, the multiplication of two negative numbers is a positive number.

Describe the transformation that takes f(x)=x+1 to g(x) = -x+4. Will Mark Brainliest.​
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

Reflection across y axis

Translate up by 3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = x + 1

g(x) = -x + 4

Required

Describe the transformation from f(x) to g(x)

First, take a reflection of f(x) across the y axis.

So f(x) becomes f(-x)

f(x) = x + 1 when reflected

f(-x) = -x +1

Next, translate f(-x) up by 3 units to give g(x)

g(x) = f(-x) + k

Where

k = 3

f(-x) = -x +1

g(x) = -x + 1 + 3

g(x) = -x + 4

Hence, the transformation from f(x) to g(x) includes:

Reflection across y axis

Translate up by 3 units

Factor out the greatest common factor.<br> 30t2u + 12tu2 + 24tu
Alexandra [31]
First you can combine 30tu^2 and 12tu^2 because they both have tu^2

So it would be 42tu^2 + 24tu

The answer is
6tu ( 7tu + 4 )
