Answer:
x = 3/10
Step-by-step explanation:
−1/2 − (−4/5) = x
First, switch sides.
x = −1/2 − (−4/5)
You are subtracting a negative number. Subtracting a negative number means add a positive number.
x = -1/2 + 4/5
Now you are adding two fractions, so you need a common denominator. The LCD of 2 and 5 is 10.
x = -5/10 + 8/10
x = 3/10
The answer is expressions D, E, and G.
In algebra, a ‘term’ usually means the different parts of an expression that are separated by + and - signs.
Options A and B only have 1 term, an x or y³, so these are incorrect.
Option C has 1 term as well, ‘xyz’, because they are all multiplied together which makes it one term.
D and E both have 3 terms each, but F has 4 unique terms so this is incorrect also.
G has 3 unique terms, x³, x^4, and 7x, so this is correct.
When H is expanded, you will end up with more than 3 unique terms, so this is incorrect.
I hope this helps!
Answer: Choice B) {3, 5, sqrt(34)}
=====================================
Explanation:
We can only have a right triangle if and only if a^2+b^2 = c^2 is a true equation. The 'c' is the longest side, aka hypotenuse. The legs 'a' and 'b' can be in any order you want.
-----------
For choice A,
a = 2
b = 3
c = sqrt(10)
So,
a^2+b^2 = 2^2+3^2 = 4+9 = 13
but
c^2 = (sqrt(10))^2 = 10
which is not equal to 13 from above. Cross choice A off the list.
-----------
Checking choice B
a = 3
b = 5
c = sqrt(34)
Square each equation
a^2 = 3^2 = 9
b^2 = 5^2 = 25
c^2 = (sqrt(34))^2 = 34
We can see that
a^2+b^2 = 9+25 = 34
which is exactly equal to c^2 above. This confirms the answer.
-----------
Let's check choice C
a = 5, b = 8, c = 12
a^2 = 25, b^2 = 64, c^2 = 144
So,
a^2+b^2 = c^2
25+64 = 144
89 = 144
which is a false equation allowing us to cross choice C off the list.
Answer:
it would be something along the lines of. 5+25d =c
