Step-by-step explanation:
the second one and the third one are similar shapes to i
Make them all fractions over 4, so 3 would be 12/4, and 1 1/4 would be 5/4 so add them together
12/4+5/4= 17/4 then divide by 4 to reduce it, to get 4 1/4
I believe you are expected to simplify. To do this all you do is group like terms (x, x², x³ etc.) and then simplify the coefficients.
13. 10z + 7z - 19z² - 5z² - 17z
first you can rearrange and group like terms (remember the bring the sign in front of each term with it). I would do it like this:
-19z² - 5z² +10z + 7z - 17z
Now simplify the coefficients:
-24z² + 0z
you can omit the 0z and your simplified answer is
-24z²
Main thing to remember here is that z and z² cannot be simplified together, nor can any variable that has an exponent because the exponent makes them differ.
Its going more horizontal because the slope has you go up 1 and right 4, meaning you are going right more than you are going up
