I think the correct answer is c
They are algebraic symbols or known as unknown number. There is no true value for them. The value of algebraic symbols are based on equations
ie. 1+x = 2
First, we isolate the x by canceling the +1 FROM BOTH SIDES(Balance method) by -1 ON BOTH SIDES.
1+x-1 = 2-1
So we are left with the x on the left side, and a single number on the right side. Therefore, our calculation is complete.
x = 1
More complex cases would be
2y-3 = 45
First, we need to isolate the algebraic symbol, which is 2y (yx2) by +3 ON BOTH SIDES
2y-3+3 = 45+3
2y = 48
WE ARE NOT DONE! 2y=48 is still an equation. Therefore, to isolate the y, we need to divide BOTH SIDES by 2
2y/2 = 48/2
y = 24
There is no true or absolute or definite value for algebraic symbols like x,y,z,a,c,t,h,d etc. They are used to represent unknown numbers.
Hope this helped!
First, we determine that the given equation in this item
is a linear equation. Thus, it should be a straight line. With this, we are
left with the third and fourth choice. Then, we substitute the given data
points to the equation and see if the points satisfy the given.
Choice 3:
<span> (1,3) :
(-5)(1) + (2)(3) = 1 TRUE</span>
<span> (3,8) :
(-5)(3) + 2(8) = 1 TRUE</span>
<span> (-3,-7)
: (-5)(-3) + (2)(-7) = 1 TRUE</span>
Choice 4:
<span> (4,-3) :
(-5)(4) + (2)(-3) ≠ 1 FALSE</span>
<span> (-1,2) : (-5)(-1) + (2)(2) ≠ 1 FALSE</span>
<span> (-4,5) : (-5)(-4) + (2)(5) ≠ 1 FALSE</span>
<span>Thus, the answer is the third choice.</span>
the assumption being that the endpoints are two continuous points in the pentagon, Check picture below.
