What is the difference in the results if you calculate
(−7)² versus −7² . Why does the parentheses give us a
different result?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Order of Operations.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we include -7 in the parenthesis, the exponent acts the negative as well. Therefore:

(-7)²= 49.

However, when squaring without the parenthesis, it will give us a negative number because:

The order of operations, or PEMDAS, states that exponents come before multiplication. Therefore, when doing '-7²', you would first need to square the '7', giving us:

-7² = -49

However, within parenthesis, everything inside will be squared.

Find the values of the variable y, for which:
the difference between the fractions y+12/y-4 and y/y+4 is equal to their product


Answers

Answer:

  y = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Ordinarily, in math, when we say "the difference between ..." we mean the second listed item is subtracted from the first. (In English, we often mean "the positive difference between ..." so the order doesn't matter.)

We'll assume we are only interested in the case where the difference is in the order listed.

  [tex]\dfrac{y+12}{y-4}-\dfrac{y}{y+4}=\dfrac{y+12}{y-4}\cdot\dfrac{y}{y+4}\\\\\dfrac{(y+12)(y+4)-(y-4)(y)}{y^2-16}=\dfrac{(y+12)(y)}{y^2-16}\\\\0=\dfrac{y^2-8y-48}{y^2-16}=\dfrac{(y-12)(y+4)}{(y-4)(y+4)}=\dfrac{y-12}{y-4}\qquad\text{$y\ne -4$}\\\\\boxed{y=12}[/tex]

There is one solution.

Comment on the solution

If you were to "clear fractions" by multiplying the equation by (y^2-16), you would also obtain the extraneous solution y=-4. That is why we did not solve it that way.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Marco bought 10 gifts = 11. 50

Verify that 1 + cos 2 theta / 2 cos theta = cos theta is an identity

Answers

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

We want to verify that (1 + cos(2θ)) / 2cos(θ) = cos(θ).

Let's focus on the left side. Look at cos(2θ). This is an identity, so remember that cos(2θ) = cos²θ - sin²θ. Also, look at the 1. Remember that sin²θ + cos²θ = 1, so plug both of these expressions into our equation:

(1 + cos(2θ)) / 2cos(θ) =? cos(θ)

((sin²θ + cos²θ) + (cos²θ - sin²θ)) / 2cos(θ) =? cos(θ)

2cos²θ / 2cosθ =? cosθ

cosθ = cosθ

Thus, we have proved this is an identity.

Answer:

(1 + cos(2theta))/2cos(theta)

cos(2theta) = 2cos²(theta) - 1

(1 + 2cos²(theta) - 1)/2cos(thetal

2cos²(theta)/2cos(theta)

cos(theta)

Answers

Answer:

Confederate

Step-by-step explanation:

During the time that led up to the conflict known as the Civil War of America, the major cause of tension was slavery. Southern plantation owners and farmers fiercely advocated slavery because they helped with the harvest of crops and the overall southern economy. The northerners, however, resisted slavery, saying it was immorally and inhumanely wrong.

At the culmination of this tension, many southern states, led by Jefferson Davis (who later became the "president" of the Confederate states), decided to secede from the Union (break away) and establish their own entity, which they called the "Confederate States of America".

Answers

Answer:

The length of the prism = 3m

See below for explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete without the diagram stated in the question.

Since the diagram is missing, I'll show you how you can determine the length of a prism.

Volume of prism = length × width × height = l×w×h

Find attached below the diagram used in solving the question.

From the diagram,

height = 7m

Width = 2m

Given that the volume of prism = 42 cubic meters = 42m³

Length of prism = ?

Inserting the values of the variables:

42 = l×2×7

42 = 14×l

l = 42/14

l = 3

The length of the prism = 3m

Harris Interactive® conducted a poll of American adults in August of 2011 to study the use of online medical information. Of the 1,019 randomly chosen adults, 60% had used the Internet within the past month to obtain medical information. Use the results of this survey to create an approximate 95% confidence interval estimate for the percentage of all American adults who have used the Internet to obtain medical information in the past month.

[tex]0.60 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.60(1-0.60)}{1019}}=0.570[/tex]

[tex]0.60 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.60(1-0.60)}{1019}}=0.630[/tex]

The 95% confidence interval for the true proportion would be given by (0.570;0.630) .

And if we convert this into % we got (57.0%, 63.0%)

Step-by-step explanation:

The information given we have the following info given:

[tex] n = 1019[/tex] represent the sampel size

[tex] \hat p=0.6[/tex] represent the sample proportion of interest

The confidence level is 95%, our significance level would be given by [tex]\alpha=1-0.95=0.05[/tex] and [tex]\alpha/2 =0.025[/tex]. And the critical value would be given by:

[tex]z_{\alpha/2}=-1.96, z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.96[/tex]

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:  

[tex]\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}[/tex]

Replacing the info given we got:

[tex]0.60 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.60(1-0.60)}{1019}}=0.570[/tex]

[tex]0.60 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.60(1-0.60)}{1019}}=0.630[/tex]

The 95% confidence interval for the true proportion would be given by (0.570;0.630) .

What best determines whether a borrower’s interest rate on an adjustable rate loan goes up or down

Answers

Answer:

a market's condition

Step-by-step explanation:

edge 2021

Market conditions best determine whether a borrower’s interest rate on an adjustable rate loan goes up or down.

What is the interest rate?

It is the cost of borrowing money.

Interest rate levels depend on the supply and demand of the money.

Supply and demand are a part of market conditions.

We see that,

An increase in demand for money will increase the interest rate.

A decrease in demand for money will decrease the interest rate.

Conversely,

An increase in the supply of money will decrease the interest rate.

A decrease in the supply of money will increase the interest rate.

Demand and supply are market conditions

Thus market conditions best determine whether a borrower’s interest rate on an adjustable rate loan goes up or down.
