HELP!! Is –41/2 equivalent to (–4)1/2? Why or why not?

Mathematics

Oliga [24]3 years ago

No, they are not equivalent. The first term, -4 1/2 equals 4 whole units and one half unit. All negative. So it’s like you have someone 4 and 1/2 dollars.

The second term, (-4)1/2 means multiplying -4 times 1/2. Doing the multiplication for this gives you -4/2. Solving the division here is -2. It’s taking away 1/2 dollar 4 times.

I hope this helped. Happy to answer any questions you have.

Find the area between the curves x=-2,x=3,y=4x,y=x-5
mixas84 [53]
Those are all lines...

So the x interval is from -2 to 3, because of x=-2 and x=3

The upper line is y(u)=4x and the lower line is y(l)=x-5

So the area between the two lines is:

A=⌠y(u)-y(l) dx

A=⌠4x-x+5 dx

A=⌠3x+5 dx

A=[3x^2/2+5x]

A=[(3x^2+10x)/2], x=[-2,3]

A=(1/2)(27+30-(12-20))

A=(1/2)(57+8)

A=(1/2)(65)

A=32.5 u^2

Trever and Marisa together have 28 t shirts to sell if marissa has 4 fewer t shirts than trevor find how many t shirt Trevor has
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

   Trevor has 16 number of shirts

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Trevor and Marisa together have 28 t shirts to sell if Marissa has 4 fewer t shirts than Trevor

let the number of shirts Trevor have be x

And since, Marissa has 4 fewer than Trevor so number of shirts Marissa will have be x-4

Hence, according to question equation becomes:

x+x-4=28

We will solve for x to find the number of t shirts  Trevor has

2x -4 =28

2x = 32

x =16

Hence, Trevor has 16 number of shirts

For the function y = f(x) = 3x -5<br> What is the y intersection
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

The y-intercept is -5.

Step-by-step explanation:

In algebra, "y=" and "f(x)=" is basically the same thing. You don't have to write them both. Also, y=3x-5 is in slope-intercept form, which is: y=mx+b, where b is the y-intercept. That means "-5" is the y-intercept.
