Answer:
yes, yes, no, no
Step-by-step explanation:
An equation is linear if no term has a variable with an exponent other than 0 or 1. There can be no products of variables.
The equations with terms x³ or x² will not be linear.
(a, b) linear (yes)
(c, d) not linear (no)
Answers:

========================================================
Explanation:

Note we subtract 3 off the previous term (t1) to get the next term (t2). Each new successive term is found this way

and so on. This process may take a while to reach 
There's a shortcut. The nth term of any arithmetic sequence is

We plug in
and simplify

Then we can plug in various positive whole numbers for n to find the corresponding
value. For example, plug in n = 2

which matches with the second term we found earlier. And,

---------------------
The notation
refers to the sum of the first ten terms 
We could use either the long way or the shortcut above to find all
through
. Then add those values up. Or we can take this shortcut below.

The sum of the first ten terms is -85
-----------------------
As a check for
, here are the first ten terms:
- t1 = 5
- t2 = 2
- t3 = -1
- t4 = -4
- t5 = -7
- t6 = -10
- t7 = -13
- t8 = -16
- t9 = -19
- t10 = -22
Then adding said terms gets us...
5 + 2 + (-1) + (-4) + (-7) + (-10) + (-13) + (-16) + (-19) + (-22) = -85
This confirms that
is correct.
The answer is C. 16/55 because P(Q and R) = P (Q) . P (R) (for independent events Q and R)
So, the prob. is 4/5 * 4/11 = 16/55 = D.
Answer:
Area of remaining cardboard is 224y^2 cm^2
a + b = 226
Step-by-step explanation:
The complete and correct question is;
A rectangular piece of cardboard is 16y cm long and 23y cm wide. Four square pieces of cardboard whose sides are 6y cm each are cut away from the corners. Find the area of the remaining cardboard. Express your answer in terms of y. If your answer is ay^b, then what is a+b?
Solution;
Mathematically, at any point in time
Area of the cardboard is length * width
Here, area of the total cardboard is 16y * 23y = 368y^2 cm^2
Area of the cuts;
= 4 * (6y)^2 = 4 * 36y^2 = 144y^2
The area of the remaining cardboard will be :
368y^2-144y^2
= 224y^2
Compare this with;
ay^b
a = 224, and b = 2
a + b = 224 + 2 = 226
