We are asked to find how many terms are in [tex]\pmb{10y^2-3y+8}[/tex].

[tex]\triangle~\fbox{\bf{KEY:}}[/tex]

A term is a thing that's added or subtracted.

So let's compute the number of terms in this expression.

The first term is [tex]\pmb{10y^2}[/tex].

Is anything added or subtracted from 10y²?

Sure! [tex]\pmb{-3y}[/tex] is subtracted from 10y².

Also, 8 is added to -3y.

Thus, this expression has 3 terms.

Hope it helps you out! :D

needs to pay back $35 that he
borrowed from his mom. How
many hours does Chandler need to
work to have enough money to

Answers

Chandler will need to work 6 hours to pay off the debt owed to his mom. After those 6 hours of work, and the debt paid off, Chandler will have $1 left over.
We can divide 345 by 6 to see the remaining hours.
345/6 = 57.5.

Chandler would need to work for 57.5 hours after paying off the debt owed to be able to afford the bike, working for a grand total of 63.5 hours.

Not sure if they would pay for a half an hour of work, so Chandler may need to work 64 hours, unless it’s stated they’d pay for a partial hour of work.

Step-by-step explanation:

A perfect cube of a number is a number that is equal to the number, multiplied by itself, three times. If x is a perfect cube of y, then x = y3. Therefore, if we take the cube root of a perfect cube, we get a natural number and not a fraction. Hence, 3√x = y. For example, 8 is a perfect cube because 3√8 = 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 4y = 15
6x +12y = 45

What would the solution to the system of equations be?

Answers

Answer:

They both have an infinite number of solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given system of equations:

a) 2x + 4y = 15

b) 6x + 12y = 45

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

where:

m is the slopeb is the y-intercept (when x = 0)

Rewrite both equations into slope-intercept form:

a) 2x + 4y = 15

⇒ 2x + 4y = 15 [subtract 2x from both sides]

⇒ 2x - 2x + 4y = 15 - 2x

⇒ 4y = - 2x + 15 [divide both sides by 4]

⇒ 4y ÷ 4 = (-2x ÷ 4) + (15 ÷ 4)

[tex]\sf \implies y = -\dfrac{1}{2}x\ + \dfrac{15}{4} \ or \ y=-0.5x\ + 3.75[/tex]

b) 6x + 12y = 45

⇒ 6x + 12y = 45 [subtract 6x from both sides]

⇒ 6x - 6x + 12y = 45 - 6x

⇒ 12y = - 6x + 45 [divide both sides by 12]

⇒ 12y ÷ 12 = (-6x ÷ 12) + (45 ÷ 12)

[tex]\sf \implies y = -\dfrac{1}{2}x\ + \dfrac{15}{4} \ or \ y=-0.5x\ + 3.75[/tex]

New equations:

[tex]\sf a)\ y = -\dfrac{1}{2}x\ + \dfrac{15}{4} \ or \ y=-0.5x\ + 3.75\\\\\sf b)\ y = -\dfrac{1}{2}x\ + \dfrac{15}{4} \ or \ y=-0.5x\ + 3.75[/tex]

Both equations have the same slope (-½), and y-intercept (3.75). Therefore, they both have an infinite number of solutions.

System of equations can have the following:

No Solution: the same slope (both lines will be parallel)

One Solution: different slopes and different y-intercepts

Infinitely Many Solutions: the same slope and y-intercept

Looking at the given expression, they do not seem to be in the slope-intercept form which is the most common form used for linear expression. Let us convert the equations that were given in the problem statement to follow the slope-intercept form.

Slope-Intercept Form ⇒ [tex]y = mx + b[/tex]m = slopeb = y-intercept

Equation #1

Subtract 2x from both sides

[tex]2x + 4y = 15[/tex][tex]2x - 2x + 4y = 15 - 2x[/tex][tex]4y = -2x + 15[/tex]

Divide both sides by 4

[tex]\frac{4y}{4} = \frac{-2}{4}x + \frac{15}{4}[/tex][tex]y = \frac{-2}{4}x + \frac{15}{4}[/tex][tex]y = -0.5x + 3.75[/tex]

Equation #2

Subtract 6x from both sides

[tex]6x + 12y = 45[/tex][tex]6x - 6x + 12y = 45 - 6x[/tex][tex]12y = -6x + 45[/tex]

Divide both sides by 12

[tex]\frac{12y}{12} = \frac{-6}{12}x + \frac{45}{12}[/tex][tex]y = \frac{-6}{12}x + \frac{45}{12}[/tex][tex]y = -0.5x + 3.75[/tex]

Since both the first and second equation have the same exact number which means that they will fall exactly on top of each other.  Therefore, there are infinite solutions as they will always continue on top of each other.

O The value of f(2) is larger than the value of f(1).
O The value of f(2) is smaller than the value of f(1).
O The value of f(1) is the same as the value of f(2). help

Answers

Answer:

O The value of f(2) is smaller than the value of f(1).

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's solve for both. When the problem says f(1) or f(2), this just means that the x value is equal to that. So:
f(1) = -5(1)^2 + 2(1) + 9 = 6
f(2) = -5(2)^2 + 2(2) + 9 = -7
Since f(1) = 6 and f(2) = -7, we know that f(1) is greater than f(2). Therefore, the value of f(2) is smaller than the value of f(1)

What is a ratio?

A ratio, simply, can be defined as the quantitative relationship that exists between two values which is indicative of the number of times one value can be obtained from the other.

What is the explanation for the solution above?

Step 1  - Indicate your assumptions

Let X be the width of one of the rectangles and let its height be Y.

It is clear from the image that:

4X = 3Y

Hence

(4/3)X  = Y

Therefore,

Lenght (L) = 3Y

= 3 (4/3)X

= 4X

Width (W) = Y + 2X

= (4/3)X + 2X

= (10/3)X

Therefore,

L : W =  4X: 10/3X

= 4:10/3

To remove the fraction, multiply both sides of the ratio by 3

= 12 : 10, furhter simplify by halving each value, and we have

= 6:5

Hence, the ratio L: W in simplified form is 6 : 5.
