Answer:
(a) 1. Distributive property 2. Combine like terms 3. Addition property of equality 4. Division property of equality
Step-by-step explanation:
Replacement of -1/2(8x +2) by -4x -1 is use of the <em>distributive property</em>, eliminating choices B and D.
In step 3, addition of 1 to both sides of the equation is use of the <em>addition property of equality</em>, eliminating choice C. This leaves only choice A.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
This problem makes a distinction between the addition property of equality and the subtraction property of equality. They are essentially the same property, since addition of +1 is the same as subtraction of -1. The result shown in Step 3 could be from addition of +1 to both sides of the equation, or it could be from subtraction of -1 from both sides of the equation.
In general, you want to add the opposite of the number you don't want. Here, that number is -1, so we add +1. Of course, adding an opposite is the same as subtracting.
In short, you can argue both choices A and C have correct justifications. The only reason to prefer choice A is that we usually think of adding positive numbers as <em>addition</em>, and adding negative numbers as <em>subtraction</em>.
Hello!
Since the numbers are going up by 4 every time the next 3 are 1, 5, and 9
So the answer is D
Hope this helps!
First, you need to find the derivative of this function. This is done by multiplying the exponent of the variable by the coefficient, and then reducing the exponent by 1.
f'(x)=3x^2-3
Now, set this function equal to 0 to find x-values of the relative max and min.
0=3x^2-3
0=3(x^2-1)
0=3(x+1)(x-1)
x=-1, 1
To determine which is the max and which is the min, plug in values to f'(x) that are greater than and less than each. We will use -2, 0, 2.
f'(-2)=3(-2)^2-3=3(4)-3=12-3=9
f'(0)=3(0)^2-3=3(0)-3=0-3=-3
f'(2)=3(2)^2=3(4)-3=12-3=9
We examine the sign changes to determine whether it is a max or a min. If the sign goes from + to -, then it is a maximum. If it goes from - to +, it is a minimum. Therefore, x=-1 is a relative maximum and x=1 is a relative miminum.
To determine the values of the relative max and min, plug in the x-values to f(x).
f(-1)=(-1)^3-3(-1)+1=-1+3+1=3
f(1)=(1)^3-3(1)+1=1-3+1=-1
Hope this helps!!
