Answer:

From top to bottom:

0, 1, 2, -8, -8

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the piecewise function:

g(x) = \left\{        \begin{array}{ll}            0.5x+1 & \text{if } x \leq 2 \\            -8 & \text{if } x > 2        \end{array}    \right.

Row 1:

We want to find g(-2).

Since -2 is less than (or equal to) 2, we will use the first equation. Thus:

g(-2)=0.5(-2)+1=-1+1=0

Row 2:

Likewise, 0 is less than or equal to 2. We will continue to use the first equation:

g(0)=0.5(0)+1=1

Row 3:

2 is not less than 2 but it is equal to 2. So we will continue to use the first equation:

g(2)=0.5(2)+1=1+1=2

Row 4 and 5:

Both 4 and 6 are greater than 2. Thus, we will use the second equation. Therefore:

g(4)=-8\text{ and } g(6)=-8

Multiply (x-1)(x³+4x²+4x-1) and combine like terms. Explain how you reached your answer.
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

x⁴+3x³ -5x +1

Step-by-step explanation:

To multiply this we are going to <u>multiply each term of the binomial by each term of the polynomial.</u>

(x-1)(x^{3}+4x^{2}  +4x-1)\\=x^4+4x^3+4x^2-x -x^3-4x^2-4x+1

Now we are going to <u>combine like terms (this means we are going to sum up terms with the same exponent)</u>

x^4+4x^3+4x^2-x -x^3-4x^2-4x+1 = x^4 +(4x^3-x^3)+(4x^2-4x^2)+(-x-4x)+1\\=x^4+3x^3-5x+1

Thus, the answer is x⁴+3x³ -5x +1

Charles bought 7/8 foot of electrical wire and 5/6 foot of copper wire for his science project .What is the least common denomin
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

The least common denominator of the fractions is 24

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The <u>least common denominator</u> (LCD) is the smallest number that can be a common denominator for a set of fractions

so

we have

7/8

Multiples of 8 -------> 8,16,24,32,...

5/6

Multiples of 6 -------> 6,12,18,24,...

24 is a common multiple of 6 and 8.  It is their lowest common multiple

<em>Alternative Method</em>

we have

8=2^{3}

6=2*3

The least common multiple are those common and non-common numbers with the greatest exponent

so

lcm= 2^{3}*3=24

Sean has 1/5 of a cupcake and 1/5 of a large cake. Does the sum 1/5 + 1/5 make sense in this situation
svetlana [45]

Answer:

The size of the cupcake and the size of the cake differ, so when your saying 1/5 of the cupcake, 1/5 of a cupcake is not the same as 1/5 of the cake . Idk if this will help, but I gave you a suggestion!
