Answer:

x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

(4x2 + x - 5) - (5x2 - 1)

According to the order of operations, parenthesis come first so we will solve what is in the parenthesis first.

Then we do the multiplication because it comes before addition and subtraction.

4x2 = 8

Now we have 8 + x - 5

Combine like terms and 8-5=3 so we have 3 + x

Now for the second one.

5x2=10

10-1=9

Subtracting this from the first expression we have:

3+x-9 =

x - 6

In the field of astronomy, the ability to measure angles accurately and precisely enables us to calculate the position and relative movement of the stars and galaxies in relation to each other, to determine how far distant they are from us, and even to estimate their relative size.

If m, p, and t are distinct positive prime numbers, then (m^3)(p)(t) has how many different positive factors greater than 1?

harina [27]

Answer:

d. 15

Step-by-step explanation:

List the exponents of each of the prime factors. Here, they are 3, 1, 1.

Add 1 to each of these values and form the product of these sums:

(4)(2)(2) = 16

This is the number of divisors of the number. Since 1 is included in this count, 15 of the divisors are greater than 1.

Solve the following absolute value inequality graphically: |x|-3>1.

Dovator [93]

Answer:

x < -4 ∪ x > 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value function is shifted down 3 units. The solution space is values of x where y = |x|-3 is greater than 1. The solution is shown in red in the attachments, and the left and right (dashed) sides of the inequality are shown in blue.

I personally prefer to rewrite the inequality so the comparison is to <em>zero</em>. That is done in the second attachment, which rewrites it to ...

|x| -4 > 0

by subtracting 1 from both sides. It is often easier to read the values of x-intercepts than it is to read the coordinate values where lines cross each other.
