Zero on number lines is neither negative nor positive, it is used as a sort of divider number;)
Step-by-step explanation: this picture should help explain a little
Answer:
x = 1 y = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
- Plug the value of y into the other equation.
x + 3y = -11
x + 3(-4x) = -11
x - 12x = -11
-11x = -11
x = 1
- Now substitute the value of x into any equation.
y = -4x
y = -4(1)
y = -4
Answer:
We would have

where " l " is length, " w" is width and "h" is height.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
Remember that
Surface area for a box with no top = 
where " l " is length, " w" is width and "h" is height.
Step 2.
Remember as well that
Volume of the box = 
Step 3
We can now use lagrange multipliers. Lets say,

and

By the lagrange multipliers method we know that

Step 4
Remember that

and

So basically you will have the system of equations

Now, remember that you can multiply the first eqation, by "l" the second equation by "w" and the third one by "h" and you would get

Then you would get

You can get rid of
from these equations and you would get

And from those equations you would get

Now remember the original equation

If we plug in what we just got, we would have

Answer:
35,829,630 melodies
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 12 half-steps in an octave and therefore
arrangements of 7 notes if there were no stipulations.
Using complimentary counting, subtract the inadmissible arrangements from
to get the number of admissible arrangements.

can be any note, giving us 12 options. Whatever note we choose,
must match it, yielding
. For the remaining two white key notes,
and
, we have 11 options for each (they can be anything but the note we chose for the black keys).
There are three possible arrangements of white key groups and black key groups that are inadmissible:

White key notes can be different, so a distinct arrangement of them will be considered a distinct melody. With 11 notes to choose from per white key, the number of ways to inadmissibly arrange the white keys is
.
Therefore, the number of admissible arrangements is:
