Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, turn the word problem into an equation:

n(a number) was divided by 2

\frac{n}{2}

followed by this quotient beying multiplied by 4

\frac{n}{2}*4

the product was added to 9

\frac{n}{2}*4+9

the total sum was 25

\frac{n}{2}*4+9 = 25

use PEMDAS to solve the equation

subtract 9 on both sides

\frac{n}{2}*4 = 16

cancel the 2 and the 4 using factorization

n*2 = 16

divide 2 on both sides

n = 8

Find the y and the x intercepts of the graph of the equation of y=3x+1
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

x-intercept ⇨ -1/3

y-intercept ⇨ 1

Step-by-step explanation:

⟺ Finding the x-intercept, substitute y = 0

y=3x+1\\0=3x+1\\3x+1=0\\

Move 1 to subtract the another side.

3x=-1

Then move 3 to divide -1, leaving only x as a subject since we want to find the x-intercept.

x=-\frac{1}{3} #

⟺ Finding the y-intercept, substitute x = 0

y=3x+1\\y=3(0)+1\\y=0+1

y=1 #

Tips:

Here's the tips about finding the intercepts of the graph.

⟺ For x-intercept, It's like solving an equation to find the x-term.

⟺ For y-intercept, It's like using the constant to answer.

As for y = mx+b where m = slope and b = y-intercept.

For a linear function, It's not necessary to substitute x = 0 just to find y-intercept as we can answer the constant as our y-intercept.

Prove the theorem (AB )^T= B^T. A^T
Lisa [10]

Answer:

(AB)^T = B^T.A^T  (Proved)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  (AB )^T= B^T. A^T;

To prove this expression, we need to apply multiplication law, power law and division law of indices respectively, as shown below.

(AB)^T = B^T.A^T\\\\Start, from \ Right \ hand \ side\\\\B^T.A^T = \frac{B^T.A^T}{A^T}.\frac{B^T.A^T}{B^T} (multiply \ through) \\\\                = \frac{A^{2T}.B^{2T}}{A^T.B^T} \\\\=\frac{(AB)^{2T}}{(AB)^T} \ \ (factor \ out \ the power)\\\\= (AB)^{2T-T}  \ (apply \ division \ law \ of \ indices; \ \frac{x^a}{x^b} = x^{a-b})\\\\= (AB)^T \ (Proved)
