Given statement is False, if a light cost $3, it could be either Green or Yellow.
Converse: If the light bulb was Yellow, then the cost was $3 = True
Contrapositive makes both statements negative and switches the order of the original statement.
So something like: If the light bulb is not yellow, then the cost would not be $3 = False because two colors cost the $3.
Inverse makes both statements negative but keeps the same order.
Something like : If the light bulb did not cost$3 then the light bulb was not yellow = False because two colors cost the $3.
As you progress in math, it will become increasingly important that you know how to express exponentiation properly.
y = 2x3 – x2 – 4x + 5 should be written <span>y = 2^x3 – x^2 – 4^x + 5. The
" ^ " symbol denotes exponentiation.
I see you're apparently in middle school. Is that so? If so, are you taking calculus already? If so, nice!
Case 1: You do not yet know calculus and have not differentiated or found critical values. Sketch the function </span>y = 2x^3 – x^2 – 4^x + 5, including the y-intercept at (0,5). Can you identify the intervals on which the graph appears to be increasing and those on which it appears to be decreasing?
Case 2: You do know differentiation, critical values and the first derivative test. Differentiate y = 2x^3 – x^2 – 4^x + 5 and set the derivative = to 0:
dy/dx = 6x^2 - 2x - 4 = 0. Reduce this by dividing all terms by 2:
dy/dx = 3x^2 - x - 2 = 0 I used synthetic div. to determine that one root is x = 2/3. Try it yourself. This leaves the coefficients of the other factor, (3x+3); this other factor is x = 3/(-3) = -1. Again, you should check this.
Now we have 2 roots: -1 and 2/3
Draw a number line. Locate the origin (0,0). Plot the points (-1, 0) and (2/3, 0). This subdivides the number line into 3 subintervals:
(-infinity, -1), (-1, 2/3) and (2/3, infinity).
Choose a test number from each interval and subst. it for x in the derivative formula above. If the derivative comes out +, the function is increasing on that interval; if -, the function is decreasing.
Ask all the questions you want, if this explanation is not sufficiently clear.
The angles in a triangle always add up to exactly 180 degrees. To see if this can be a triangle, add up the given angle measures. If the sum is not 180, then it cannot be a triangle.
140+43+7=190
A triangle CANNOT have the angles measures as 140, 43, and 7.
Hope this helps!!
2(4x-3)-7(x+1) first distribute
8x-6-7x+7 then combine the x's
<u>x+13 </u>
