Brendan says that the negative of - 1/3
is 3 because they are on ​opposite sides of zero when they are plotted on the number line.

​Is Brendan correct? Explain your answer.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

No! Brendan has totally got the wrong idea.

Step-by-step explanation:

Numbers on the right hand side of zero are said to be positive, while, the numbers on the opposite side are said to be negative.

That means Brendan's correct in saying that -1/3 lies on the opposite side of 3, since negative numbers lie on the opposite side of the positives.

But,

Negative "of" a number is the same number with opposite sign.

That is, if a number is 3 units away from the zero, it's negative will also be 3 units away from zero, but on the opposite side.

-1/3 and 3 do not lie at the same distance from zero.

-1/3 would be approached before -1 by walking in the negative direction whereas 3 would be approached after 1.

Therefore, Brendan is wrong as the negative of a number has opposite sign but same "magnitude".

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens:

AD = 8

AC = 4y - 28

y = ?

First we can see that AD and DC are equal.

-note AD and AC are not equal

But 2 times the length of AD should give you AC so.....

2 x length of AD = 16 = AC

We can use the equation:

16 = 4y - 28

Solve for y

16 + 28 = 4y

44 = 4y

y = 11

Therefore value of y is 11.

what is the equation of a line that contains points (5,3) and (0, -1)

Answers

Answer:

y = [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (5, 3 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, - 1 )

m = [tex]\frac{-1-3}{0-5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-4}{-5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex]

The line crosses the y- axis at (0, - 1 ) ⇒ c = - 1

y = [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] x - 1 ← equation of line

E. None of the above

Answers

Answer: 2

Step-by-step explanation:

distribute: 6 [ 9 − 9 + 8 ] + 3 = 0

add the numbers: 6 [ 1 7 − 9 ] + 3 = 0

rearrange terms: 6 [ − 9 + 1 7 ] + 3 = 0

distribute again: − 5 4 + 1 0 2 + 3 = 0

combine like terms:  − 5 4 + 1 0 2 + 3 = 0

Subtract  102  from both sides of the equation: − 5 1 + 1 0 2 − 1 0 2 = 0 − 1 0 2

simplify:− 5 1 = − 1 0 2

Divide both sides of the equation by the same term: -51x/-51 = -102/-51

simplify: 2

Answers

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation: this equation is written in slope intercept form, which represents: y = mx + b. m = the slope and b = the y intercept.  

The y intercept of that line 3, since that is the value of y when x equals 0. If we go from that point to the next one up. Notice how the value of x and y is changing. We go over by 1 and up by 2. That can be written as 2/-1 or 2.

HOWEVER, since the slope is going down from right to left, it has a a negative slope. Meaning the slope is a -2 not a positive 2.

Now, let's insert our values into the equation y = mx + b. That would be:

y = -2x + 3 which is B and therefore our answer

3(y - 2) = 3y - 6 PLZZZZZZ HELPPP

Hope it helps ⚜

Answer:

Infinitely Many Solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

3(y - 2) = 3y - 6

3y - 6 = 3y - 6      Distribute 3.

0 = 0                    Combine the like terms.

Since we get the end result of 0 = 0, which is a true mathematical statement (i.e. 0 is equal to 0), we can see that regardless of the value of x, the original equation is true. So we have infinitely many equations.

Or, we can see the 2 parts as equations for 2 separate graphs. In other words, assume that we have 2 lines: y = (3x - 2) and y = 3y - 6. Since they both have the same m value (slope) and b value (y-intercept), the 2 lines are actually overlapping. So we have infinitely many solutions because the 2 equations represent the same linear graph.

Convert:
a) 5810 to base 2
b) 101112 to base 10
Step by step would be awesome

Answers

I suppose you mean to convert 58₁₀ to base 2, and not 5810₁₀ to base 2.

Write 58 as the sum of the largest powers of 2 that you can:

58 = 32 + 26

58 = 32 + 16 + 10

58 = 32 + 16 + 8 + 2

58 = 2⁵ + 2⁴ + 2³ + 2¹

58 = 1×2⁵ + 1×2⁴ + 1×2³ + 0×2² + 1×2¹ + 0×2⁰

⇒   58₁₀ = 111010₂

To convert from base 2 to base 10, write out and simplify the decimal expansion as in the last line of the previous example.

10111₂ = 1×2⁴ + 0×2³ + 1×2² + 1×2¹ + 1×2⁰

10111₂ = 16 + 0 + 4 + 2 + 1

⇒   10111₂ = 23₁₀
