By using Associative, Commutative, and Distributive Properties in performing operations on complex numbers and polynomials, you would be able to simplify correctly and simply. To combine complex numbers, you must distribute any coefficients in front of the parentheses. Then identify and<span>combine like terms by combining the real number parts and the imaginary number parts separately.</span>
Let n = number of records.
Each record costs $7, so n records cost 7n.
She then spent $3, so the total spent is 3n + 3.
She spent a total of $24, so 3n + 3 must equal 24. That gives us the following equation.
7n + 3 = 24
Subtract 3 from both sides.
7n = 21
Divide both sides by 7.
n = 3
Answer: She bought 3 records.
Answer:
4^-2
Step-by-step explanation:
The rules of exponents tell you ...
(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)
This means ...
(4^6)(4^-8) = 4^(6-8) = 4^-2
Step-by-step explanation:
the area of a triangle
baseline × height / 2
in our case
baseline × height / 2 = 60 in²
height = 6×baseline - 16
baseline × (6×baseline - 16) / 2 = 60
baseline × (3×baseline - 8) = 60
3×baseline² - 8×baseline = 60
baseline = x
3x² - 8x - 60 = 0
general solution to a quadratic equation is
x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)
in our case
a = 3
b = -8
c = -60
x = (8 ± sqrt(64 - 4×3×-60))/(2×3) =
= (8 ± sqrt(64 + 720))/6 = (8 ± sqrt(784))/6 =
= (8 ± 28)/6
x1 = (8 + 28)/6 = 36/6 = 6
x2 = (8 - 28)/6 = -20/6 = -10/3
x2 as a negative number is not a valid solution for a length in a geometric shape.
so, x = 6 in is our solution for the baseline.
height = 6x - 16 = 6×6 - 16 = 36 - 16 = 20 in
base = 6 in
