That's not correct. The terms 2a and 3b are not like terms, so we cannot combine them to get 5ab. We simply leave it as 2a+3b.
If you had 2a+3a, then it would simplify to 5a
Similarly, 2b+3b = 5b
Or you could have 2ab+3ab = 5ab
The key is that the variable portions must match up to be able to add them.
Do you have the answers to the rest/multiple choice part of the test ??
The period is 2.
Normally the period of sin(x) is 2pi, but the pi inside the sin(pix) is a horizontal compression by a factor of 1/pi. So 2pi·1/pi = 2
The "1/2" and "+3" do not impact the period. Those just impact the amplitude (vertical aspect) of the graph.
Answer:
20%
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the difference of both prices.
150 - 120 = 30
Calculate the ratio of the decrease in price to the original price.
30/150 = 0.2
Multiply the decimal by 100 to get your percentage.
0.2(100) = 20
-3x - 3/4 = 9
-3x - 3/4 + 3/4 = 9 + 3/4
-3x = 9 3/4
I change 9 3/4 to improper fraction
-3x = 39/4
-3x / -3 = 39/4 / -3
X = 39/4 x -1/3 (change division to multiplication so that you can complete the problem)
X = -39/12
You can convert that if you want to -3 3/12
So x = -3 3/12
Simplify to x = -3 1/4
