What is negative 7 minus negative 2

Mathematics
1 answer:
zalisa [80]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

-7 - (-2)

-7 + 2

Example: If you owe someone $7, and you give them $2, how much do you still owe? You are owing him $7 so it's a negative and you give him $2 which is a negative as well since you are giving it to him. So, to answer how much do you still owe, you would add $2  to the $7 you owed, so now, you owe him $5, which is a negative since you OWE him.

Hope this helps:)

What is the inverse of the function f(x) = 2x + 1?
Luda [366]

Answer:

f^{-1}(x)=\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{1}{2} ⇒ answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to find the inverse of a function

- To find the inverse of a function :

# Write y = f(x)

# Switch the x and y

# Solve to find the new y

# The new y is f^{-1}

* Lets solve the problem

∵ f(x) = 2x + 1

- Put y = f(x)

∴ y = 2x + 1

- Switch x and y

∴ x = 2y + 1

- Solve to find the new y

∵ x = 2y + 1

- Subtract 1 from both sides

∴ x - 1 = 2y

- Divide both sides by 2

∴ (x - 1)/2 = y

- Divide each term in the left hand side by 2

∴ y = 1/2 x - 1/2

- Replace y by f^{-1}

∴ f^{-1}(x)=\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}

* The inverse of the function is f^{-1}(x)=\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}

On the first day after the new moon, 2% of the Moon's surface is illuminated. On the second day, 6% is illuminated. Based on thi
maxonik [38]

Answer:

50%: day 13

100%: day 26

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two days and the amount of the moon that is illuminated. The two days are points on a straight line.

(1, 0.02), (2, 0.06)

y = mx + b

m = (0.06 - 0.02)/(2 - 1) = 0.04

y = 0.04x + b

0.02 = 0.04(1) + b

b = -0.02

y = 0.04x - 0.02

We want y = 50% = 0.5

0.04x - 0.02 = 0.5

0.04x = 0.52

x = 13

y = 100% = 1

0.04x - 0.02 = 1

0.04x = 1.02

x = 25.5
