Answer:

A. subtraction

B. division

C. multiplication

D. addition

Step-by-step explanation:

Observe what is done to the variable. Choose the operation that turns the unwanted value into the appropriate identity element.

A. 3.75 is added. To make that value be 0, we subtract 3.75.

B. -3 is multiplied. To make that value be 1, we divide by -3.

C. m is divided by 5. To make that 1/5 multiplier be 1, we multiply by 5.

D. 4 is subtracted. To make that value be zero, we add 4.

Additional comment

Since subtraction is the same as addition of the opposite, and division is the same as multiplication by the reciprocal, the only two properties we really need are the addition property and multiplication property. Your grader may disagree.

Please help Ladder question!!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a related rates problem from calculus using implicit differentiation. The main equation is going to be Pythagorean's Theorem and then the derivative of that. Pythagorean's Theorem is

$x^2+y^2=c^2$ where c is the hypotenuse and is a constant. Therefore, the derivative of this with respect to time, and using implicit differentiation is

$2x\frac{dx}{dt}+2y\frac{dy}{dt}=0$ and dividing everything by 2 to simplify a bit:

$x\frac{dx}{dt}+y\frac{dy}{dt}=0$ . Upon analyzing that equation, it looks like we need values for x, y, $\frac{dx}{dt}$ , and $\frac{dy}{dt}$ . And here's what we were given:

$\theta=45$ and $\frac{dx}{dt}=.5$ In the greater realm of things, that's nothing at all.

BUT we can use the right triangle and the angle we were given to find both x and y. The problem we are looking to solve is to

Find $\frac{dy}{dt}$ at the instant that $\frac{dx}{dt}$ = .5.

Solving for x and y:

$tan45=\frac{x}{6}$ and

6tan45 = x ( and since this is a 45-45-90 triangle, y = x):

$6(\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2})=x=y$ so

$x=y=3\sqrt{2}$ and now we can fill in our derivative. Remember the derivative was found to be

$x\frac{dx}{dt}+y\frac{dy}{dt}=0$ so

$3\sqrt{2}(\frac{1}{2})+3\sqrt{2}\frac{dy}{dt}=0$ and

$\frac{3\sqrt{2} }{2}+3\sqrt{2} \frac{dy}{dt}=0$ and

$3\sqrt{2}\frac{dy}{dt}=-\frac{3\sqrt{2} }{2}$ and multiplying by the reciprocal of the left gives us:

$\frac{dy}{dt}=-\frac{3\sqrt{2} }{2}(\frac{1}{3\sqrt{2} })$ so

$\frac{dy}{dt}=-\frac{1}{2}\frac{m}{s}$

The mean of this data is 8 what two numbers could go in the blanks 12,4,9,13,7,11,5,2,-,-

Sophie [7]

12+4+9+13+7+11+5+2+_+_ /10= 8
x10 both sides

12+4+9+13+7+11+5+2+_+_=80
63+_+_=80
-63 both sides
_+_= 17
any two numbers that add up to 17 can go in the planks
7,10
