Mr. Chavez spent $199.99 for a new smart phone, $39.99 on a carrying case, and $59.99 on accessories. The expression |-199.99| + |-39.99| + |-59.99| represents the total amount that Mr. Chavez spent. How much did Mr. Chavez spend altogether? Check your answer using estimation.

Answers

Answer:

$299.97

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Total Amount spent :

New smart phone = $199.99

Carrying case = $39.99

Accessories = $59.99

Total amount spent is represented by the expression :

The expression |-199.99| + |-39.99| + |-59.99|

Since it is denoted using absolute value :

$(199.99 + 39.99 + 59.99) = $299.97

what is −58+34 any one know?

Answers

Answer:

-24

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

-58 + 34 = -24

Step-by-step explanation:

You know what a number line looks like right? Well, you also know that the negative numbers are to the left of the middle of the line at point 0, and the positives are to the right of 0? So, -58 + 34, you would start at -58 and start counting (adding) 34. You do this by "subtracting" a positive 34 from the negative 58, so basically, you could just ignore the negative sign for now and just subtract the problem like this: 58 - 34 = 24. Since 34 is not greater than 58 and you have not "crossed" the middle (0) to get over to the positive side, the answer is still a negative number as your final answer. So, the answer is -58 + 34 = -24.

REMEMBER: On a number line, when you have a negative number and you have to add, you move to the right, or up (if you are doing a vertical line). When you are subtracting on a number line, you move left, or down (if you are doing a vertical line). P.S. I am using the number line example because this is how I add and/or subtract positives and negatives when I don't have a calculator at hand to give the me the answer.

12) Given A(9, 2), B(-1, y)
C.(-5, 16) and D(-8, 11),
find the value of y So
that AB is perpendicular CD

Answers

Answer:

y=8

Step-by-step explanation:

(y-2)/(-1-9)=(y-2)/-10    (11-16)/(-8-(-5))=-5/-3=5/3  Perpendicular slope is -3/5

(y-2)/10=-3/5 cross multiply 5(y-2)=3(10)    5y-10=30   add 10 to both sides

5y=40  divide both sides by 5 and y is equal to 8.

The value of y is 8 if AB is perpendicular CD after using the slope formula.

What is the slope?

The ratio that y increase as x increases is the slope of a line. The slope of a line reflects how steep it is, but how much y increases as x increases. Anywhere on the line, the slope stays unchanged (the same).

[tex]\rm m =\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

It is given that:

A(9, 2), B(-1, y) C.(-5, 16) and D(-8, 11),

AB is the perpendicular CD

Using the slope formula to find the slope between A and B:

(y-2)/(-1-9)

= (y-2)/-10    

(11-16)/(-8-(-5)) =

-5/(-3)

= 5/3  

The perpendicular slope is -3/5

(y-2)/10=-3/5

5(y-2)=3(10)    

5y-10=30  

5y=40  

y = 8

Thus, the value of y is 8 if AB is perpendicular CD after using the slope formula.

2nd Option -

All numbers on all sides could be rational, as we don't know what kind of number line this is.

3rd Option-

This is also correct because like the previous statement, the number line is unknown. We could have repeating numbers as long as the ones on the left side are less than the ones on the right.

10.) Fishermen have been studying how the number of dead sea turtles in the local bay is related to the pollution index of the bay. The number of sea turtle deaths per year is modeled by f(x) = 13.42x + 109.118. Which value represents the slope and what does it mean in the context of the scenario?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear function is a polynomial function of the first degree that has the form:

f (x) = m*x + b   or  y=m*x + b

where y is the dependent variable, x is the independent variable, m is the slope of the line and b is the intercept with the Y axis.

The slope m measures the inclination of the line with respect to the abscissa axis, that is, the x axis.  According to the value of the slope m, the linear function can be increasing if m> 0, decreasing if m <0 or constant if m = 0.

You know that the number of sea turtle deaths per year is modeled by f(x) = 13.42x + 109.118.   Then the value of the slope is 13.42. In this scenario, the slope indicates that the number of deaths of sea turtles grows in a proportion of 13.42 with respect to the pollution index of the bay.

Answers

Given:

The power generated by an electrical circuit (in watts) as a function of its current x (in amperes) is modeled by

[tex]P(x)=-15x(x-8)[/tex]

To find:

The current which will produce the maximum power.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]P(x)=-15x(x-8)[/tex]

[tex]P(x)=-15x^2+120x[/tex]

Differentiate with respect to x.

[tex]P'(x)=-15(2x)+120(1)[/tex]

[tex]P'(x)=-30x+120[/tex]      ...(i)

To find the extreme point equate P'(x)=0.

[tex]-30x+120=0[/tex]

[tex]-30x=-120[/tex]

Divide both sides by -30.

[tex]x=4[/tex]

Differentiate (i) with respect to x.

[tex]P'(x)=-30(1)+(0)[/tex]

[tex]P'(x)=-30<0[/tex] (Maximum)

It means, the given function is maximum at x=4.

Therefore, the current of 4 amperes will produce the maximum power.

If (ax^2 + 3x + 2b) - (5x^2+bx-3c)=3x^2-9, what is the value of A + B + C?

Answers

Answer:

We have the equation:

(ax^2 + 3x + 2b) - (5x^2+bx-3c)=  3x^2 - 9

First, move all to the left side.

(ax^2 + 3x + 2b) - (5x^2+bx-3c) - 3x^2 + 9 = 0

Now let's group togheter terms with the same power of x.

(a - 5 - 3)*x^2 + (3 - b)*x + (2b + 3c + 9) = 0.

This must be zero for all the values of x, then the things inside each parenthesis must be zero.

1)

a - 5 - 3 = 0

a = 3 + 5 = 8.

2)

3 - b = 0

b = 3.

3)

2b + 3c + 9 = 0

2*3 + 3c + 9 = 0

3c = -6 - 9 = -15

c = -15/3 = -5

Then we have:

a = 8, b = 3, c = -5

a + b + c = 8 + 3 - 5 = 6
