Answer:
c) 2 + 3 = 5 TRUE
d) 2 + (–3) = -1 True
Step-by-step explanation:
When adding integers (positive and negative whole numbers), there are three cases:
- Positive and positive increases and sum is positive. Ex. 4 + 6 = 10
- Positive and negative where you subtract and take the sign of the larger number. Ex. 3 + -8 = -5 or -3 + 8 = 5
- Negative and negative decrease and the sum if negative. Ex. -4 + -6 = -10.
Use these rules to simplify each expression.
a) 2 + (–3) = -1 not 1 FALSE
b) –3 + 2 = -1 not 5 FALSE
c) 2 + 3 = 5 TRUE
d) 2 + (–3) = -1 True
Problem 11
<h3>Answer: h =
2A/b</h3>
------------------
Explanation:
We need to get h by itself. To do so, we first multiply both sides by 2. Then we divide both sides by b
A = (1/2)*b*h
2A = b*h
b*h = 2A
h = 2A/b

Problem 12
<h3>Answers:</h3>
- Equation: (n+2)/5 = 14
- Solution to that equation: n = 68
------------------
Explanation:
The number n is increased by 2 to get n+2
Then we divide by 5 to get (n+2)/5
This is set equal to 14 to get the equation (n+2)/5 = 14
Solving the equation would look like this
(n+2)/5 = 14
n+2 = 5*14 .... multiply both sides by 5
n+2 = 70
n = 70-2 .... subtract 2 from both sides
n = 68
================================================
Problem 13
<h3>Answer: Not a solution</h3>
------------------
Explanation:
We'll replace every copy of x with -3 and simplify
-2x + 5 > 13
-2*(-3) + 5 > 13
6 + 5 > 13
11 > 13
The last inequality is false because 11 is not greater than 13. Since the last inequality is false, this makes the first inequality false when x = -3.
Therefore, x = -3 is not a solution.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Usually, this wording means the decrease is proportional to the current price, characteristic of an exponential function.
__
The decay factor is 1-(decay rate), so is 1-0.15 = 0.85. After 3 years, the value has been multiplied by this factor 3 times:
$50×0.85³ ≈ $30.71 . . . . cost in 3 years
_____
<em>Comment on percent per year</em>
Less often, the indicated decrease is intended to be <em>that percentage of the original price</em>. The result is that the price decreases by a constant amount each year, a linear decrease. This condition most often arises in conjunction with figuring depreciation in value for tax or accounting purposes.
The upshot is that you always need to be careful to understand what the base of a percentage is intended to be.
