You need to add two mixed numerals.
One is positive and one is negative.
To add a positive number and a negative number, first take the absolute value of both, making them both positive. Then subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger absolute value. Finally, the sign of the answer is the same sign as the number that has the larger absolute value.
The numbers are -4 5/8 and 2 1/8
Take absolute values:
|-4 5/8| = 4 5/8
|2 1/8| = 2 1/8
Subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger absolute value.
4 5/8 - 2 1/8 = 2 4/8 = 2 1/2
The greater absolute value is 4 5/8.
Since the number with the larger absolute value was -4 5/8, a negative number, the answer is negative, -2 1/2
-4 5/8 + 2 1/8 = - 2 1/2
In 1 minute the copy machine copies = 24
That means
In 60 seconds the copy machine copies = 24
First we need to convert 5 minutes and 30 seconds to seconds
Then
5 minutes and 30 seconds = (5 * 60) + 30
= 300 + 30
= 330 seconds
So
In 330 seconds the copy machine will copy = (24/60) * 330
= 4 * 33
= 132
So in 5 minutes and 30 seconds the copy machine will copy 132 copies.
we have
we know that
The x-intercept is the value of x when the value of the function is equal to zero
so
in this problem
Find the roots of the function
equate the function to zero
Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation
Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side
Rewrite as perfect squares
Square root both sides
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
the x-intercepts are the points
