A variable is a quantity that may change within the context of a mathematical problem or experiment. Typically, we use a single letter to represent a variable. The letters x, y, and z are common generic symbols used for variables. Sometimes, we will choose a letter that reminds us of the quantity it represents, such as t for time, v for voltage,b for bacteria

Answer: Infinite Solutions

Step-by-step explanation: Make the top x and y values times -2 to cancel all the variables and numbers out to get 0 = 0 so it would be Infinite Solutions.

And if you multiply by 2 you get the exact same equation.

If I am wrong let me know!

two ships leave a port at the same time. the first ship sails on a bearing of 55° at 12 knots (natural miles per hour) and the s
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

37.59 nautical miles

Explanation:

Distance = Speed x Time

The speed of the first ship = 12 knots

Thus, the distance covered after 1.5 hours

\begin{gathered} =12\times1.5 \\ =18\text{ miles} \end{gathered}

The speed of the second ship = 22 knots

Thus, the distance covered after 1.5 hours

\begin{gathered} =22\times1.5 \\ =33\text{ miles} \end{gathered}

The diagram representing the ship's path is drawn and attached below:

The angle at port = 90 degrees.

The triangle is a right triangle.

Using Pythagorean Theorem:

\begin{gathered} c^2=a^2+b^2 \\ c^2=18^2+33^2 \\ c^2=324+1089 \\ c^2=1413 \\ c=\sqrt[]{1413} \\ c=37.59\text{ miles} \end{gathered}

The two ships are 37.59 nautical miles apart after 1.5 hours.

Question 12 (1 point)
Paraphin [41]
<h3>Answer:   5</h3>

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

Explanation:

Let's consider the expression (x-y)^2. It expands out to x^2-2xy+y^2. The terms are:

  • x^2
  • -2xy
  • y^2

Each of those terms either has a single variable with an exponent of 2, or has the exponents add to 2. Think of 2xy as 2x^1y^1.

In short, this means that the degree of each monomial term is 2.

----------

Now consider (x-y)^3. It expands out into x^3-3x^2y+3xy^2+y^3.

We have terms that either have a single variable and the exponent is 3, or the exponents add to 3. The degree of each term is 3.

----------

This pattern continues.

In general, for (x-y)^n, where n is any positive whole number, the degree of each term in the expansion is n. If you picked any term, added the exponents, then the exponents will add to n.
