Explain why 3(5x) does not equal to (3 times 5)(3times x)

Mathematics
1 answer:
Anit [1.1K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Because 3(5x) is the same as 3 *5 * x

Step-by-step explanation:

When a number is next to another in parantheses, it signifies multiplication. In this case, we already have 5 and x grouped together by a multiplication sign, so the entire thing is 5 * x. The statement below is key

Distribution in multiplication is only possible if a variable is grouped to another real number by a plus or minus sign.

So in this case, we have 3 * 5 * x, which is 15x. However, if we had 3(5 + x), we would have 15 (3 * 5) + 3x (3 * x).

Hopefully that makes sense!

Can I do 50 quizzes in 2 weeks? Each takes about 5 minutes
rodikova [14]
So.
.
Let's get started with formulas.
.
I KNOW you hate formulas!! So do I, but we have to use them. No "buts". 
.
So, how many minutes are in 2 weeks?
.
Search it up. For your convenience, it is 20,160 minutes.
.
Well, I think you have your answer, since each quiz is 5 minutes, 5 times 50 (5 x 50) is 2,500 minutes.
.
Yes, you can do 50 quizzes and MUCH MUCH more in 2 weeks.

Hope I helped!!

Answer:

1. (x,y)→(y,-x)

2. (x,y)→(-y,x)

3. (x,y)→(-x,-y)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Rotation 90° clockwise (or 270° counterclockwise) about the origin changes x into y and y into -x, so it has the rule

(x,y)→(y,-x)

2.  Rotation 90° counterclockwise (or 270° clockwise) about the origin changes x into -y and y into x, so it has the rule

(x,y)→(-y,x)

3.  Rotation 180° clockwise  about the origin changes x into y and y into -x, so it has the rule

(x,y)→(-x,-y)

Here you can apply rotation by 90° clockwise twice, so

(x,y)→(-y,x)→(-x,-y)

Find the distance between the line 1.2x − 0.5y + 1.1=0 and the origin.
denpristay [2]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: d = 0.85 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Line equation:  1.2 x − 0.5 y + 1.1 = 0        A = 1.2; B = -0.5; C = 1.1

Point (0, 0)                                                  x = 0; y = 0

Formula

d = | Ax + By + C | / √(A² + B²)

Process

d = |(1.2)(0) + (-0.5)(0) + 1.1 | / √ (1.2)² + (0.5)²

d = | 1.1 | / √ 1.44 + 0.25

d = 1.1 / √ 1.69

d = 1.1 / 1.3

d = 0.85 units
