Commutative property of addition
Find the difference in temperature between each 1000 feet:
From 1 to 2: 30 - 23.5 = 6.5
From 2 to 3: 23.5 - 17 = 6.5
From 3 to 4: 17 - 10.5 = 6.5
The temperature change is constant as it drops 6.5 degrees for every 1000 foot gain in elevation.
At 5,000 feet the temperature would be : 10.5 - 6.5 = 4
At 6,000 feet: 4 - 6.5 = -2.5
At 7,000 feet: -2.5 - 6.5 = -9
At 8,000 feet: -9 - 6.5 = -15.5
At 8,000 feet the temperature would be -15.5 degrees.
- the number 0 — additive identity
- a(b+c) = ab+ac — the distributive property
- an equation containing more than one variable — literal equation
- the number 1 — multiplicative identity
- the reciprocal of a number — multiplicative inverse
If x ≠ 0, then 1/x is its multiplicative inverse — true.
The product of a number and its multiplicative inverse is 1 — true.
Since we are solving the quadratic equation because the highest degree in the equation is second. We arrange in the form of ax²+bx+c = 0.
Combine like terms.
Solve the equation by factoring.
Hence the values of x that make f(x) = g(x) are -3 and 1.
