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

Mathematics

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.

Question 40 and it about adding and subtracting polynomials
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

39x-7

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is all the sides added together so

9x + 8x - 2 + 5x + 1 + 17x - 6

Since you can't solve it you just want to simplify the equation, add the like terms together

9x+8x+5x+17x = 39x

-2+1-6 = -7

Your equation is 39x-7

In the list of numbers, 6, x, 10, 2, 7, 13, and 15, the median is 10.
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

<h2>(A) 9</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s put the number of the set 6, 10, 2, 7, 13, 15 in order from least to greatest :

2 , 6 , 7 , 10 , 13 , 15

we know that the median is the central value of the number set

then

if the median is 10

then x should be placed between 10 and 13 or 13 and 15

which means

x ≥ 10

therefore

9 could NOT be the value of x
