Answer:

x= -4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

first distribute on both sides

8x -8 = -2x -16

isolate x on one side

10x = -8

x = -8/10

you can simplify that fraction to get

x= -4/5

8 ( x - 1) = -2 ( x + 8)
8x - 8 = -2 ( x + 8)
Distribute ^
Distribute again
8x - 8 = -2 (x + 8)
8x - 8 = -2x -16
Add 8 to both sides of the equation
X = -4/5

Four friends ordered a pizza cut into eight slices. The whole pizza was eaten, with each friend eating a different number of sli

raketka [301]

Answer:

{0,1,3,4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, total no of slices=8.

Total no of friends=4.

also each friend didnt ate more than the other three.

let a,b,c,d be no of slices ate by the friends 1,2,3,4 respectively.

given sum of a+b+c+d=8.

now applying the second condition

$a\leq b+c+d \\b\leq c+d+a\\c\leq a+b+d\\d\leq a+b+c$

so each of a,b,c,d must be less than or equal to 4.

which means 5 values are possible{0,1,2,3,4}.from this set you have to select 4 values such that their sum is 8.hence, those values are {0,1,3,4}.

Answer:

In Point Slope Form: y+6=4(x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to find the points given which are:

(1, -6) and (4, 6)

Label the points x1, y1, x2, and y2

It already gives you the slope which is 4.

Plot the points in the equation of Point Slope Form:

y1-y2=m(x-x1)

y1-6=4(x-1)

Simplify: y1-6=4x-4

y=4x+2

It doesn't ask you to simplify but why not!

Explain how, in general, riemann sum approximations to the area of a region under a curve change as the number of subintervals

Lyrx [107]

As you increase the subintervals the area will be closer and closer to the real value. In other words your approximation gets better.

As you increase the intervals, there will be more rectanagles and the added area of these rectangles are converging towards the actual area under the curve.
