Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
The signs didn't really "swap". Instead, the whole function was divided by -1, or we could say the function was divided by -3. That would turn:
-18x² - 15x + 3 = 0
into
(-18 / -3)x² - (15 / -3)x + (3 / -3) = 0
6x² + 5x - 1 = 0
And that gives the "swapped signs".
First get like things on the same side:
-5/6b - 1/2b= -2/3 - 3/4
Then find equivalent fractions to make the equation easier to solve.
-5/6b - 3/6b= -8/12 - 9/12
Then just add things together and solve.
-8/6b= -17/12
-8b= 6(-17/12)
-8b= -17/2
b= (-17/2)/-8
b= 17/16
You can then plug the answer back into the original question to make sure it is the correct answer.
Answer:
2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
you can use pythag theorem and divide c by two:
-3^2+4^2=c^2
9+16= 25
c=5
however, 5/2=2.5
Answer:
3x
Step-by-step explanation:
you time the previous number by 3 to get the next number
