Answer:

We first use the distributive property on both sides:

1/2(n)-1/2(4)-3 = 3-(2n)-(3)

1/2n - 2 - 3 = 3 - 2n - 3

Combining like terms on both sides,

1/2n - 5 = -2n

Subtracting 1/2n from both sides:

1/2n - 5 - 1/2n = -2n - 1/2n

-5 = (-2 1/2)n

Divide both sides by -2 1/2:

-5/(-2 1/2) = (-2 1/2)n/(-2 1/2)

2 = n

Where does the function f have a zero? (more than one can apply)

alekssr [168]

Answers:
Choice A(-2,-1)
Choice B(-1,0)
Choice E(2,3)

--------------------------------

Explanation:

The idea is to look for sign changes in f(x). Recall that y = f(x). If the sign of y changes, then y = 0 must be somewhere in the interval if we are to have a continuous function.

The sign changes happen when we go from...
y = -9 to y = +8 (row 2 to row 3)
y = +8 to y = -5 (row 3 to row 4)
y = -1 to y = +196 (bottom two rows)

Those three sign changes correspond to the following interval notations for x
(-2,-1)
(0,1)
(2,3)
in that exact order

Meaning for instance, that a root must be somewhere in the interval -2 < x < -1 since we have a sign change when we transition from f(-2) to f(-1)

So that's why the answers are choices A, B, & E

Something like the interval notation (1,2) will not work because y = -18 does not change sign to y = -1, which is why D is not an answer. Choice C is similar.

The initial and terminal points of a vector are given. Write the vector as a linear combination of the standard unit vectors i a

gtnhenbr [62]

$U=16i-4j$

Explanation

any vector in the plane can be writen as a linear combination of the 2 standar unit vectors

$\begin{gathered} i=\langle1,0\rangle\text{ j=}\langle0,1\rangle \\ as\text{ follows} \\ V=\langle a,b\rangle=a\langle1,0\rangle+b\langle0,1\rangle=ai+bj \end{gathered}$
