What is negative 7 minus negative 2

Mathematics

1 answer:

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:)

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. 973 * 80

= 973 * 8 * 10

= 7784 * 10

= 77,840.

b. 56 * 2000

= 2*56 * 1000

= 112,000.

c. 5.7 * 300

= 5.7 * 3 * 100

= 17.1 * 100

= 1710.

d. 0.46 * 50

= (0.46 * 100) / 2

= 46 / 2

= 23.

Determine if the set of polynomials {x^2 –2x+1, 2x² + 3x -4,-x2+x+5) is a linearly independent set in P2. Is it a basis for P? W

WITCHER [35]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a set of polynomials ${x^2-2x+1,2x^2+3x-4,-x^2+x+5}$

We have to find that given set is a linearly independent set in $P_2$

and given set is a basis for $P_2$ or not.

Matrix of given set of polynomials

A= $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&-2&1\\2&3&-4\\-1&1&5\end{array}\right]$

Linearly Independent set :If any row or any column is not a linear combination of other rows or columns then the set is linearly independent set.

Any row or column is not a linear combination of other rows or columns.Therefore, given set is a linearly independent set .

We know that

$P_2=x^2$

Element of $P_2$ is of the form

$ax^2+bx+c$

Every element of $p_2$ is a linear combination of given set of polynomials.

Hence, given set is linearly independent in $p_2$ .

If any set is basis for any vector space then it satisfied the following two conditions

1.Given set is linearly independent.

2.Every element of given vector space spanned by the given set.

Given set of polynomials are linearly independent and spanned every element of $P_2$ .

Therefore, given set is as basis for $p_2$ because the set is linearly independent and spanned $P_2$ .

Explain the mathematical motivation for expanding to the rational number set.

NARA [144]

Answer:

In mathematics, a rational number is a number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction p/q of two integers, a numerator p and a non-zero denominator q. Since q may be equal to 1, every integer is a rational number. The set of all rational numbers, often referred to as "the rationals", the field of ... The decimal expansion of a rational number either terminates after a finite
