Answer:
The slope (m) = 1/3 and the y-intercept (b) = -4
Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
Let's work out the subtraction of the polynomial to find out where the error is and the correct result we should have.
6x² - 4x - 5
- 3x² - 7x + 2
= [6x² - 3x²] [-4x -(-7x)] [-5 -(+2)]
= 3x² + 3x - 7
The error that was made in the subtraction given in the question was that the negative signs before the terms, 7x and 5 were ignored while subtracting.
The sign is very important, it defines the value of the term.
We can choose to solve the problem in another way shown below:
(6x² - 4x - 5) - (3x² - 7x + 2)
Distributive the negative sign in the second polynomial
6x² - 4x - 5 - 3x² + 7x - 2
Combine like terms
6x² - 3x² - 4x + 7x - 5 - 2
3x² + 3x - 7
16 ounces is 1 pound.
So 1 ounce will be 1/16 pound.
750 × 1/16
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
60 mins ÷5= 12. 12 x2=24
60 mins ÷6=10. 10x3=30
30-24=6
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The polynomial is simplified by combining like terms. Like terms are identified more easily if the variables in each term are written in the same order. We usually like to use alphabetical order. Two of the like terms have opposite coefficients, so they cancel. The result is ...
(3 1/2 -2 1/2)xy² +(-2 4/5 +2 4/5)x²y
= xy² . . . . simplified expression
__
For x = 1, y = -2, the value of the expression is ...
(1)(-2)² = 4
