What is the effect of multiplying both sides of an inequality by a negative number? Explain and give an example.

Mathematics

Answer: You would swap the ineqaulity

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying or dividing both sides by a negative number reverses the inequality. This means < changes to >, and vice versa. For example, given that 5 < 8 we can multiply both sides by 6 to obtain 30 < 48 which is still true.

George was reading a mystery story. He read 42 pages in one hour. At this rate how many pages can he read in 40 minutes?
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

56.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratios.

42------60

1----------1.42

40-------56.8

First, divide 42 by 42 which is one. Then, divide 60 by 42, which is 1.42.

Next, multiply 1 by 40. Finally multiply 1.42 by 40 which is 56.8. Hope this helps

A computer repair technician charges $35 for each job plus $21 per hour of labor and 110% of the cost of parts. The total charge
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

The cost of parts was $65.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of parts = x

35  + 21(3) + 1.10x = 169.50

98 + 1.10x = 169.50

71.50 = 1.10x

71.50/1.10 = 65

Find the discriminant for each quadratic function below. Then list the number of zeros/solutions for each quadratic function.
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The discriminant is found in

b^2-4ac which is part of the quadratic formula. In

4x^2+10x-16=0, a = 4, b = 10, c = -16. Filling in for the discriminant:

10^2-4(4)(-16)=100+256=356

It's positive so we know we have real roots; it's not a perfect square, so our solutions are 2 complex rational.

In -16x^2-7x+3=0, a = -16, b = -7, c = 3. Filling in for the discriminant:

(-7)^2-4(-16)(3)=49+192=241

It's positive and not a perfect square so the 2 solutions are complex rational
