Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x - 3) = -8

2x - 6 = -8

2x = -8 + 6

2x = -2

2x/2 = -2/2

x = -1

Jamie used the distributive property to find the product of s(t) and h(t). His work was marked incorrect. Identify Jamie's mista
SSSSS [86.1K]

Complete Question:

Jamie used the distributive property to find the product of s(t) and h(t). His work was marked incorrect. Identify Jamie's mistake. What advice would you give Jamie to avoid this mistake in the future?

s(t)•h(t)= (3x-4)(2x-8)

= 6x² - 24x -8x - 32

= 6x² - 32x - 32

Answer:

Jamie made a mistake in his second line (6x² - 24x -8x - 32), by wrongly multiplying the operation signs. The last term should be +32, not -32.

Advice: Jamie should take note of the rule that applies when multiplying signs.

Step-by-step Explanation::

To find out where exactly Jamie made mistake, let's find the product of the given functions, step by step:

s(t)•h(t)= (3x-4)(2x-8)

Using distributive property, do the following:

3x(2x - 8) -4(2x - 8)

3x*2x -3x*8 -4*2x -4*-8

6x^2  - 24x - 8x + 32 (this is where Jamie made mistake. -4 * -8 = +32. NOT -32.)

Add like terms

6x^2  - 32x + 32

Jamie made a mistake in multiplying negative × negative. The last term in "6x² - 24x -8x - 32", should be +32. Negative × negative = +.

Therefore, it is advisable for Jamie to always take note of the rule that applies when multiplying signs.

Answer:

y = -1

Explanation:

Because the line is horizontal (intersecting the y-axis), you can ensure that the equation will be y = (a number). You can find which part of the y-axis it intersects by looking at the graph, and it intersects -1.

1. The numbers ______ and _____ are respectively the additive and multiplicative identities of rational numbers
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:  0 and 1, in that order

The numbers <u>   0   </u> and <u>   1   </u> are respectively the additive and multiplicative identities of rational numbers.

===========================================================

Explanation:

The additive identity is 0 because adding 0 to any number leads to the original number. For instance, 7+0 = 7. In general we can say x+0 = x or we could also say 0+x = x.

The multiplicative identity is 1 because multiplying 1 with anything leads to that original number. Example: 1*5 = 5 or 9*1 = 1. The general template is x*1 = x which is the same as saying 1*x = x.

These ideas not only apply to rational numbers, but to real numbers as well.

What is the converse of ​r-&gt;(~q v p)
alexira [117]

Answer:

 r =>  (\neg q \ \lor p)  \ \equiv  \  q \ \land \ \neg p => \neg r

Step-by-step explanation:

In general, remember that the converse of    a => b       is     \neg b  =>   \neg a , therefore in this case  a = r   \ \ ,  b = \neg q \ \lor p

so   r =>  (\neg q \ \lor p)  \ \equiv  \  q \ \land \ \neg p => \neg r
