Which of the equations below represents a line parallel to the x-axis?

Answer:

d. y=5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line parallel to the x-axis will always be in the form y=b, where b is the y-intercept (where on the y-axis the line crosses). So, for y=5, the line crosses the y-axis when y is equal to 5.

The equation of a line parallel to the y-axis will always be in the form x=d, where d is the x-intercept (where on the x-axis the line crosses). So, for option a, x=5, it is a vertical line that crosses the x-axis when x is equal to 5. It is therefore not parallel to the x-axis.

Option b gives an equation that isn't for a linear relation entirely.

Linear equations are typically given in the form y=mx+b, where m is the slope of the line and b is, again, the y-intercept. Option c presents the equation of y=x, and this can be rewritten as y=1x+0. In other words, the slope of the line is 1 and it crosses the y axis when y is equal to 0. Lines that are parallel to the x-axis will always have a slope of 0, so therefore, this line is not parallel to the x-axis.

I hope this helps!

How do you estimate 175.32 ÷ 3 =
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

  ≈ 58

Step-by-step explanation:

Estimation usually means you want an answer good to one or maybe two significant figures. That usually means you want to round the numbers involved to one or two significant figures.

Doing that here transforms the problem to 180/3 = 60, an answer with one significant figure.

You can improve the estimate a bit by recognizing that it is a little high (the numerator is higher than 175.32, but the denominator is the same). Since the numerator is high by about 5, the estimate is high by about 5/3 or a little less than 2. A closer estimate will be 60 - 2 = 58.

_____

The degree to which you refine the estimate will depend on the error requirements you have. Certainly an estimate of 60 is within 10% of the true value, so is "close enough" for many purposes.

Explain how 4/10÷2 and 4/10×1/2 both equal 2/10.
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

when you are taking (4/10) and dividing it by 2.  you have a fraction over a fraction.  if you remember what you do to the top part of the equation you do to the bottom.  so we want to get rid of dividing by 2.  (multiple by the reciprocal)  the reciprocal of 2 is 1/2.  that will cancel out the bottom part of the equation but what you do to the bottom you have to do to the top.  so,  (4/10) * 1/2 is the same as (4/10) divided by 2. hope that makes sense.  it's much easier to write out then type math...

(x 2 + 2x - 1)(x 2 + 2x + 5) Please help asap!
Yanka [14]
Hi there!

To solve this equation, we can use distributive property.

I listed the terms you have to multiply :
x² × x² = x^4
x² × 2x = 2x³
x² × 5 = 5x²
2x × x² = 2x³
2x × 2x = 4x²
2x × 5 = 10x
-1 × x² = -x²
-1 × 2x = -2x
-1 × 5 = -5

Add all of them....
x^4 + 2x³ + 5x² +2x³ + 4x² + 10x - x² - 2x - 5
add up the like terms to simplify

x^4 + 4x³ + 8x² + 8x - 5

Hope this helped! :)
