The  number of significant digits to report in the answer is always the least number of significant figures that can be found in the question.

<h3>What are significant figures?</h3>

The term significant figures refers to the non zero digits in a number . It is those numbers that can be assigned a value in any string of digits. In mathematics, we often carry out operations such as addition, subtraction, division and multiplication.

The  number of significant digits to report in the answer is always the least number of significant figures that can be found in the question.

What does it mean if a situation has a condition, or constraint? Give an example.
Mrac [35]
In a math problem, it means the same as in real life. There are limits to what you can do, or range of values a variable may take on.

You cannot work more hours in a week than there are hours in a week. You cannot measure lengths less than 0, or time before the present. You cannot sensibly divide by zero. In general, you cannot use more resources than you have, or make use of them before they existed.

There are practical limits to size, speed, size of numbers,* and there are limits imposed by the laws of physics we recognize. (Objects can only be so big or so small or so many in the known universe, or within the confines of habitable portions of the Earth.)

___
* The ratio of the size of the known universe to the size of the smallest describable object is less than 10^300. You can write numbers larger or smaller (than the inverse of this), but they have no practical meaning in our universe.

Is it true that ƒ −(g − h) = (ƒ − g) − h? Explain why you believe the equation is true or provide a counterexample to show that
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

The expression is false

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f - (g - h) = (f - g) - h

Required

True or False

To determine if the expression is true or false, we need to simplify both sides of the equation

f - (g - h) = (f - g) - h

<em></em>

<em>Start by opening the bracket on the right hand side</em>

<em></em>f - (g - h) = f - g - h<em></em>

<em></em>

<em>Then open the bracket on the left</em>

<em></em>f - g + h = f - g - h<em></em>

<em></em>

<em>Subtract f - g from both sides</em>

<em></em>f - g - (f - g) + h = f - g - (f - g) + h<em></em>

<em></em>f - g - f + g + h = f - g - f + g - h<em></em>

<em></em>f - f - g + g + h = f - f - g + g - h<em></em>

<em></em>h \neq -h<em></em>

<em></em>

<em>Hence;</em>

<em>The statement is false</em>

<em></em>

<em>To further check;</em>

<em>Assume f = 5; g = 4 and h = 3</em>

f - (g - h) = (f - g) - h becomes

5 - (4 - 3) = (5 - 4) - 3

5 - 4 + 3 = 5 - 4 - 3

2 \neq -2

Does the point (3, 3) satisfy the equation y = x?<br> yes<br> no
8090 [49]

Answer:

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The x and y values are the same. The equation states that x and y have the same value.

y=x\\\\(3,3)\\\\y = 3; x=3\\\\\boxed{3=3}\\\\\text{The given statement is true.}

The point (3, 3) satisfies the equation y = x.

Hope this helps.

Write a two column proof (or a flow proof. Whichever one works for you).
Norma-Jean [14]

Plugging into the Given Formula the value of y:

7(6) = 8x - 14

Multiply the left side:

42 = 8x - 14

Add 14 to both sides to get:

56 = 8x

Divide both sides by 8 and we get:

7 = x

Therefore, x=7 and the proof is complete
