How -15 + 8 gives me 7 ????????

Answers

Answer 1
it doesn’t give you 7
it gives you -7
because when you add 8 to negative 15, you’re just basically subtracting it to give you -7
Answer 2

Answer:

It gives you -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of the problem as 8 - 15, because 8 is a smaller number and 15 is bigger, you'll get a negative number.

The next step is use the rule**a-b = -(b-a)**which is - (15 - 8)

Then when you simplify it, it will be - (15 - 8)= - 7**(which is the answer)

Hope this helps:)

A volunteer at the zoo is responsible for feeding the animals in 15 exhibits in the reptile house. This represents 20% of the total exhibits in the reptile house. How many exhibits are in the reptile house?

Answers

Answer:

75

Step-by-step explanation:

15 is 20% of the total.

The total is x since it is unknown.

20% of the total = 15

20% of x = 15

0.2x = 15

Multiply both sides by 5.

x = 75

Write the equation of a line that goes through the point (2, 4) that is parallel to the
line y = 3x - 6.

Answers

Answer:

y = 3x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same gradient in this case 3 is the gradient.

We will use the point (2,4) to form our own equation.

4 will be y, 3 will be m, 2 will be x

All we need is to find the C in the equation y=mx + c

4 = 3(2) + c

4 = 6 + c

C = -2

Therefore;

y = 3x - 2

Answers

Answer: Choice C

4/(3*sqrt(3))

which is the same as writing [tex]\frac{4}{3\sqrt{3}}[/tex]

==============================================================

Explanation:

We have the line [tex]\left(\sqrt{2}\right)x+y +2 = 0[/tex] in which points B and C are on this line. In other words, all of segment BC is on that line.

Point A is somewhere off that line as the diagram below indicates. We need to find the line through A that is perpendicular to the given line.

Recall that for any line of the standard form [tex]Px+Qy+R = 0\\\\[/tex], any perpendicular line will look like this: [tex]Qx-Py+S = 0\\\\[/tex]. Note the swap and sign change for the P,Q coefficients.

So anything perpendicular to [tex]\left(\sqrt{2}\right)x+y +2 = 0[/tex] will be of the form [tex]x-\left(\sqrt{2}\right)y+S = 0[/tex]. The sub-goal here is to find what S is equal to.

If you plugged in the origin point (x,y) = (0,0), then you should find that S = 0.

Therefore, the equation [tex]x-\left(\sqrt{2}\right)y = 0[/tex] is perpendicular to the given line and it passes through point A(0,0).

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

The reason why we computed that perpendicular line is to help determine the point D as shown in the diagram below. This point is at the intersection of the green perpendicular lines. This is at the base of the triangle such that BC is the base.

To find the location of point D, you need to solve this system of equations

[tex]\begin{cases}\left(\sqrt{2}\right)x+y +2 = 0\\\\x-\left(\sqrt{2}\right)y = 0\end{cases}[/tex]

Let's isolate x in the second equation

[tex]x-\left(\sqrt{2}\right)y = 0\\\\x=\left(\sqrt{2}\right)y\\\\[/tex]

Then substitute that into the other equation. Solve for y.

[tex]\left(\sqrt{2}\right)x+y +2 = 0\\\\\left(\sqrt{2}\right)*\left(\sqrt{2}\right)y+y +2 = 0\\\\2y+y +2 = 0\\\\3y +2 = 0\\\\3y = -2\\\\y = -2/3\\\\[/tex]

Now we can find x like so

[tex]x=\left(\sqrt{2}\right)y\\\\x=\left(\sqrt{2}\right)*(-2/3)\\\\x=\frac{-2\sqrt{2}}{3}\\\\[/tex]

The point D is located at the exact coordinates of

[tex]D=(x,y) = \left(\frac{-2\sqrt{2}}{3},\frac{-2}{3}\right)\\\\[/tex]

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

Next, we use the distance formula to compute the distance between point A and point D.

I'll use lowercase d to represent distance.

[tex]A = (x_1,y_1) = (0,0)\\\\D = (x_2,y_2) = \left(\frac{-2\sqrt{2}}{3},\frac{-2}{3}\right)\\\\d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{\left(0-\left(\frac{-2\sqrt{2}}{3}\right)\right)^2 + \left(0-\left(\frac{-2}{3}\right)\right)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{\left(\frac{2\sqrt{2}}{3}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{\frac{8}{9} + \frac{4}{9}}\\\\d = \sqrt{\frac{12}{9}}\\\\d = \sqrt{\frac{4}{3}}\\\\d = \frac{\sqrt{4}}{\sqrt{3}}\\\\d = \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\\\\[/tex]

This represents the exact length of segment AD.

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

Since triangle ABC is equilateral, this means triangles ADB and ADC are identical mirrored copies of each other. Those two smaller triangles are equal in area and combine to form triangle ABC back again. Furthermore, they are right triangles. This last fact mentioned will allow us to use the pythagorean theorem like so

[tex]a^2+b^2 = c^2\\\\\left(\text{AD}\right)^2+\left(\text{DC}\right)^2=\left(\text{AC}\right)^2\\\\\left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\right)^2+\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)^2=\left(x\right)^2\\\\[/tex]

where x represents the lengths of AB, BC and AC.

After skipping a bit of steps, solving that said equation should lead to these two solutions

[tex]x = -\frac{4}{3}, \ x = \frac{4}{3}[/tex]

Because x is a side length, we ignore the negative solution.

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

We can now compute the area of triangle ABC

[tex]\text{area of triangle} = \frac{1}{2}*\text{base}*\text{height}\\\\\text{area of triangle ABC} = \frac{1}{2}*\text{BC}*\text{AD}\\\\\text{area of triangle ABC} = \frac{1}{2}*\frac{4}{3}*\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\\\\\text{area of triangle ABC} = \frac{1*4*2}{2*3*\sqrt{3}}\\\\\text{area of triangle ABC} = \frac{8}{6\sqrt{3}}\\\\\text{area of triangle ABC} = \frac{4}{3\sqrt{3}}\\\\[/tex]

which points us to choice C as the final answer.

When writing this on a keyboard, we would write "4/(3*sqrt(3))" without quotes. The use of parenthesis is needed to ensure we divide by all of 3*sqrt(3). Otherwise, the computer might mistake it for [tex]\frac{4}{3}\sqrt{3}[/tex] which is entirely different.

Solve 48-5i=-4x+10yi

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose we decide to solve for y first.  y will then be in terms of x AND a real and an imaginary term:

48-5i=-4x+10yi

The goal here is to solve for y.  Adding 4x to both sides yields

48 - 5i + 4x = 10yi

and then we divide both sides by 10i to isolate the variable y:

48 - 5i + 4x

----------------- = y                 This result is "y in terms of the constant 48, the

      10i                               imaginary terms 5i and 10i, and the expression 4x.

We solve the original equation for x in a similar manner:

48-5i=-4x+10yi becomes 48 - 5i - 10yi = -4x, so that:

      -(48 - 5i - 10yi)

x = ------------------------

                 4

Next time, please specify which variable (x or y) you're solving for.  Thank you.

what new realization do you have about finding the nth term of the arithmetic sequence and finding the arithmetic means how would you use this in making decision ​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Arithmetic Sequnce in our daily life

The knowledge of calculating the nth term of a sequence can be very helpful. Calculating loans, discounts, salary, savings are some of the use of arithmetic method. If I save P5 per day for 5 years, I can simply use arithmetic sequence to find how much I saved from day 1 to last. Salary increase can also be solved using arithmetic sequence. Below is an example.

Sample real life problem:

1. I earn P300 on the first day. After each succeeding day, I earn P2 more than the previous day. How much should I be able to earn after 30 days?

In this situation, I would use the arithmetic sequence formula which is:

an = a1 + (n - 1)d

an is the nth term

a1 is the first term

n is the term position

d is the common difference

Lets subsitute:

an = P300 + (30 - 1)P2

an = P358

I should earn P348 at the end of 30 days

find equation of line a line that is parellel to the graph of 2x+3y=5 and contains the point (3,-1)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y = - \frac{2}{3} x + 1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

2x +3y= 5

3y= -2x +5

Divide both sides by 3:

[tex]y = - \frac{2}{3} x + \frac{5}{3} [/tex]

[tex]y = - \frac{2}{3} x + 1 \frac{2}{3} [/tex]

Now that the equation is in the slope-intercept form (y= mx +c), the slope of the given line is the coefficient of x.

[tex]slope = - \frac{2}{3} [/tex]

Parallel lines have the same slope.

Slope of unknown line= -⅔

y= -⅔ +c

To find the value of c, substitute a pair of coordinates into the equation.

When x= 3, y= -1,

[tex] - 1 = - \frac{2}{3} (3) + c[/tex]

-1= -2 +c

c= -1 +2

c= 1

Thus, the equation of the line is y= -⅔x +1.
