Josh is trying to factor the expression
- 20a - 8 + 12b. He writes
-4 (5a + 2 + 3b)
a. What error did Josh likely make?
b. Factor the expression correctly.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) Josh likely made the negative and positive multiplication error.

b) -20a-8+12b

= -4(5a+2-3b)

Step-by-step explanation:

To check if you are correct, you can always simplify it again:

-4(5a+2-3b)

=-20a-8+12b

Remember:

Negative times negative equals to positive, negative times positive equals to negative!

I hope this is helpful! :)

Answers

Answer:

second option is correct (for question no 20)

Step-by-step explanation:

coordinate points are:

(3,1) = (x1,y1)

(5,9) = (x2,y2)

slope (m) = y2-y1/x2-x1

=9-1/5-3

=8/2

=4

Now using slope intercept form

y=mx + b

y=4x + b

since the line passes through the point (3,1) it satisfies the equation

y=4x + b

1=4*3 + b

1-12 = b

-11 = b

substituting the value of b in equation

y=4x + b

y=4x +(-11)

y=4x - 11

Answers

Answer:

x - y = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 4y = 15

-2x + 3y = 10

Add the two equations together

 3x - 4y = 15

-2x + 3y = 10

----------------------

x - y = 25

Answer:

[tex]{\Huge{\underline{\underline{\textbf{\textsf{Answer}}}}}}[/tex]

>> 3x - 4y = 15

>> -2x + 3y = 10

Add the two equations together

Answers

Considering the volume of a cube is length × breath × height, we are going to have to use an equation to find the length.

V = l × b × h

480cm³ = L × 8 × 6

Make L the subject.

480 = L × 8 × 6
⁴⁸⁰/₈×₆ = L
10cm = L

Therefore length = 10cm

if the angle of elevation of the sun is 40 degrees, and is decreasing 1/3 radians/hour how fast is the shadow of a 35m tall pole lengthening?

Answers

[tex] \frac{dx}{dt} = 28.2 \: \frac{m}{hr}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y = height of the pole = 35 m (constant)

x = length of the shadow

They are related as

[tex] \tan \theta = \frac{y}{x} [/tex]

or

[tex]x = \frac{y}{ \tan\theta } = y \cot \theta[/tex]

Taking the time derivative of the above expression and keeping in mind that y is constant, we get

[tex] \frac{dx}{dt} = y( - \csc^{2} \theta) \frac{d \theta}{dt} [/tex]

Before we plug in the numbers, let's convert the degree unit into radians:

[tex]40° \times ( \frac{\pi \: rad}{180°}) = \frac{2\pi}{9} \: radians[/tex]

Since the angle is decreasing, then d(theta)/dt is negative. Therefore, the rate at which the shadow is lengthening is

[tex] \frac{dx}{dt} = (35 \: m)( - \csc^{2} \frac{2\pi}{9} )( - \frac{1}{3} \frac{rad}{hr} )[/tex]

or

[tex] \frac{dx}{dt} = 28.2 \: \frac{m}{hr} [/tex]

3x= 21

Which of the following correctly maps figure ABCD onto figure EFGH? Select two that apply.

Answers

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph attached,

Distance of point A of rectangle ABCD = 5 units

Distance of point E of rectangle EFGH = 5 units

Similarly, all the vertices of the rectangles ABCD and EFGH are equidistant from the y-axis.

Therefore, rectangle ABCD and rectangle EFGH may overlap each other by reflecting each other across y-axis.

Let's check by the rule of reflection,

Rule for the reflection of a point (x, y) across y-axis is given by,

(x, y) → (-x, y)

Following this rule,

A(-5, 5) → E(5, 5)

B(-3, 4) → F(3, 4)

C(-4, 1) → G(4, 1)

D(-6, 2) → H(6, 2)

Therefore, rule for the reflection is applicable in this question.

Option A will be the answer.
