The distributive property of multiplication is a very useful property that lets you simplify expressions in which you are multiplying a number by a sum or difference. The property states that the product of a sum or difference, such as 6(5 – 2), is equal to the sum or difference of the products – in this case, 6(5) – 6(2).

Remember that there are several ways to write multiplication. 3 x 6 = 3(6) = 3 • 6.

3 • (2 + 4) = 3 • 6 = 18.

Distributive Property of Multiplication over Addition

The distributive property of multiplication over addition can be used when you multiply a number by a sum. For example, suppose you want to multiply 3 by the sum of 10 + 2.

3(10 + 2) = ?

According to this property, you can add the numbers and then multiply by 3.

3(10 + 2) = 3(12) = 36. Or, you can first multiply each addend by the 3. (This is called distributing the 3.) Then, you can add the products.

The multiplication of 3(10) and 3(2) will each be done before you add.

3(10) + 3(2) = 30 + 6 = 36. Note that the answer is the same as before.

You probably use this property without knowing that you are using it. When a group (let’s say 5 of you) order food, and order the same thing (let’s say you each order a hamburger for $3 each and a coke for $1 each), you can compute the bill (without tax) in two ways. You can figure out how much each of you needs to pay and multiply the sum times the number of you. So, you each pay (3 + 1) and then multiply times 5. That’s 5(3 + 1) = 5(4) = 20. Or, you can figure out how much the 5 hamburgers will cost and the 5 cokes and then find the total. That’s 5(3) + 5(1) = 15 + 5 = 20. Either way, the answer is the same, $20.

The two methods are represented by the equations below. On the left side, we add 10 and 2, and then multiply by 3. The expression is rewritten using the distributive property on the right side, where we distribute the 3, then multiply each by 3 and add the results. Notice that the result is the same in each case.

Find the local maximum and minimum values and saddle point(s) of the function. If you have three-dimensional graphing software,

vichka [17]

Answer:

A(-1,0) is a local maximum point.

B(-1,0) is a saddle point

C(3,0) is a saddle point

D(3,2) is a local minimum point.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

$f(x,y)=x^3+y^3-3x^2-3y^2-9x$

The first partial derivative with respect to x is

$f_x=3x^2-6x-9$

The first partial derivative with respect to y is

$f_y=3y^2-6y$

We now set each equation to zero to obtain the system of equations;

$3x^2-6x-9=0$

$3y^2-6y=0$

Solving the two equations simultaneously, gives;

$x=-1,x=3$ and $y=0,y=2$

The critical points are

A(-1,0), B(-1,2),C(3,0),and D(3,2).

Now, we need to calculate the discriminant,

$D=f_{xx}(x,y)f_{yy}(x,y)-(f_{xy}(x,y))^2$

But, we would have to calculate the second partial derivatives first.

$f_{xx}=6x-6$

$f_{yy}=6y-6$

$f_{xy}=0$

$\Rightarrow D=(6x-6)(6y-6)-0^2$

$\Rightarrow D=(6x-6)(6y-6)$

At A(-1,0),

$D=(6(-1)-6)(6(0)-6)=72\:>\:0$ and $f_{xx}=6(-1)-6=-18\:$

Hence A(-1,0) is a local maximum point.

See graph

At B(-1,2);

$D=(6(-1)-6)(6(2)-6)=-72\:$

Hence, B(-1,0) is neither a local maximum or a local minimum point.

This is a saddle point.

At C(3,0)

$D=(6(3)-6)(6(0)-6)=-72\:$

Hence, C(3,0) is neither a local minimum or maximum point. It is a saddle point.

At D(3,2),

$D=(6(3)-6)(6(2)-6)=72\:>\:0$ and $f_{xx}=6(3)-6=12\:>\:0$

Hence D(3,2) is a local minimum point.

See graph in attachment.

What is the answer to this problem- (a-3b+5)-(-a+2b+3)

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

$\displaystyle 2 - 5b + 2a$

Step-by-step explanation:

To avoid confusion, distribute that negative amongst all terms in the second set of parentheses:

$\displaystyle 2a - 5b + 2 = (a - 3b + 5) - (-a + 2b + 3)$

** The above answer is written in reverse, which is the exact same result.

The proportion of students who own a cell phone on college campuses across the country has increased tremendously over the past

galina1969 [7]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the uploaded image

Answer:

1 ) The correct option B

2) The correct option is C

3) The correct option is C

4) The correct option is C

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The proportion that own a cell phone is $p = 0.90$

The sample size is n = 15

Generally the appropriate distribution for X is mathematically represented as

$X \ is \ B( n , p )$

$X \ is \ B( 15 , 0.90 )$

Generally the number students that own a cell phone in a simple random sample of 15 students is mathematically represented as

$\mu = n * p$

$\mu = 15 * 0.90$

$\mu = 13.5$

Generally the standard deviation of the number of students who own a cell phone in a simple random sample of 15 students is mathematically represented as

$\sigma = \sqrt{ n * p * q }$
