Answer:

In Algebra, a constant is a number on its own, or sometimes a letter such as a, b or c to stand for a fixed number. Example: in "x + 5 = 9", 5 and 9 are constants.

Step-by-step explanation:

In mathematics, a constant term is a term in an algebraic expression that has a value that is constant or cannot change, because it does not contain any modifiable variables. For example, in the quadratic polynomial. the 3 is a constant term.

3) The measure of angle A is 59.5 degrees. Angle B is supplemental to Angle A. What is the measure of angle B? Show your work he

laila [671]

Answer:

Angle B = 120.5°

Step-by-step explanation:

When two angles are supplementary, it means that they add up to 180°. Therefore, you can find the measure of Angle B by doing the following:

Angle B = 180 - 59.5

Angle B = 120.5°

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (4,7) and (1,9) in point-slope form.

Nesterboy [21]

$(\stackrel{x_1}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{7})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{9}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{9}-\stackrel{y1}{7}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{1}-\underset{x_1}{4}}} \implies \cfrac{9 -7}{1 -4} \implies \cfrac{ 2 }{ -3 } \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{7}=\stackrel{m}{-\cfrac{2}{3}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{4})$

What is the volume of a rectangular prism whose base area is 12 1/6 square feet and height is 2 3/4 feet?

sladkih [1.3K]

Volume = area of base * height = 12 1/6 * 2 3/4 = 73/6 * 11/4 = 803/24

= 33 11/24 cubic feet

What property is used to rewrite (x + 2)(y + z) as y (x + 2) + z (x + 2)

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

Distributive Property

Step-by-step explanation (if you were to show the steps):

(x+2)(y+z) (first expression)

xy + xz + 2y + 2z (Distributive Property of Multiplication)

yx + 2y + zx + 2z (use the Commutative Property of Addition and Commutative Property of Multiplication to group xy (also known as yx) and 2y together, and to group xz (also known as zx) and 2z together)

y(x + 2) + z(x + 2) (use factoring to get the rewritten expression at the end)
