Use the distributive property and multiply everything in the parentheses by 14.
Leaving you with.. (70 - 3.5 x 350) + 2 / 4 x 1.
Then reduce the parentheses.
Leaving you with.. ( -1155) + 2 / 4 x 1
Then divide 2 by four.
Leaving you with.. (-1155) + .5
Answer.. -1,154.5
I was never sure of what the "additive inverse" is.
So, just now, just for you, I went and looked it up.
The additive inverse of any number ' A ' is the number
that you need to ADD to A to get zero. That's all !
So now, let's check out the choices:
a), 6, -(-6)
That second number, -(-6), is the same as +6 .
So the two numbers are the same.
Do you get zero when you add them up ? No.
b). -7, 7
What do you get when you add -7 and 7 ?
You get zero.
So these ARE additive inverses.
c). -7, -7
What do you get when you add -7 to -7 ?
You get -14 . That's not zero, so these
are NOT additive inverses.
d). 7, 7
What do you get when you add 7 to 7 ?
You get 14. That's NOT zero, so these
are NOT additive inverses.
e). 6, -6
What do you get when you add 6 to -6 ?
You get zero.
So these ARE additive inverses.
What do we end up with from the list of choices:
a)., c)., and d). are NOT additive inverses.
b). and e). ARE additive inverses.
The answer is x<2
-2x^5 + 14x^4 - 36x^3 + 52x^2 - 64x + 48=0
Check the picture below, keeping in mind that opposides sides and interior angles in a parallelogram are congruent.
