how does the distributive property work

Answers

Answer 1

Explanation:

The distributive property tells you that multiplication distributes over addition. In equation form, it looks like ...

  a(b +c) = ab +ac

__

Groups and Multiples of Groups

The parentheses are a grouping symbol. In the above equation, they indicate that the sum (b+c) is to be treated as a group. When it is multiplied by 'a', everything in the group is multiplied by 'a'.

In the real world, there are many ways things are grouped. Baseball cards are packaged together with bubble gum; Cracker Jacks® are packaged together with a prize; left gloves are packaged together with right gloves; a bicycle is a package that has a frame, 2 wheels, a seat, handlebars. If you purchase a number of any of these packages, each of the items in the package is part of your purchase that number of times.

For example, 3 bicycles will have 3 frames, 3×2 = 6 wheels, 3 seats, 3 sets of handlebars. In algebraic form, this might look like ...

  3(f +2w + s + h) = 3f +6w +3s +3h

__

Eliminating Parentheses

Using the distributive property to eliminate parentheses is like regrouping the contents of the packages so like items are grouped together. In our above example, the 3 frames were grouped together when we considered that part of the group of 3 bicycles. The multiplier multiplies every member of the group.

__

Adding Parentheses

The reverse of the distributive property tells us we can regroup items into sets. It tells us we can take 3 frames, 6 wheels, 3 seats, and 3 handlebars and group them together in a way that makes 3 bicycles, each having a frame, 2 wheels, a seat, and handlebars.

  3f +6w +3s +3h = 3(f +2w + s + h)

Often, we're asked to choose the multiplier to be the greatest common factor (GCF) of the numbers of things in the group. That makes each group as small as possible. The multiplier only needs to be a common factor, not necessarily the greatest common factor.

A square is inscribed in a circle. How much larger is the area of the circle than the area of the square?
ratio form

Answers

Answer:

π/2 : 1 or π : 2

Step-by-step explanation:

In the attachments I have a picture of a square inscribed in a circle.

Call the side of the square a. Therefore, the area of the square is a^2.

We can also see that the diagonal of the square is the circle's diameter.

Using the Pythagorean Theorem we find that the diagonal/diameter of the circle is a√2. Thus the radius is that divided by 2, which is (a√2)/2.

We also know that the formula for a circle's area is πr^2, so the area of the circle is π((a√2)/2)^2 --> π(a^2)(2)/4 --> π(a^2)/2.

Hence the ratio of the circle to the square is π(a^2)/2 to a^2 which is π/2 to 1 or π to 2.

Answer:

320 ft²  (nearest whole number)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

height of fence post = 8 ftdiameter of fence post = 1 ft  ⇒  radius = 0.5 fttotal number of posts = 12π = 3.14

Surface area of a cylinder = 2πr² + 2πrh

⇒ SA of one fence post = 2 · 3.14 · 0.5² + 2 · 3.14 · 0.5 · 8

                                       = 1.57 + 25.12

                                       = 26.69 ft²

As there are 12 fence posts,

Total paint needed = 12 × 26.69

                                = 320.28 ft²

                                = 320 ft² (nearest whole number)

Richard and Teo have a combined
age of 23. Richard is 2 years older than twice Teo's age. How old are Richard and
Teo?

Answers

Answer:

Richard= 16 years old

Teo= 7 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Richard's and Teo's age be R and T years old respectively.

[tex]\textcolor{steelblue}{\text{Form 2 equations based on given information:}}[/tex]

R +T= 23 -----(1)

R= 2T +2 -----(2)

[tex]\textcolor{steelblue}{\text{Solving by substitution:}}[/tex]

Substitute (2) into (1):

(2T +2) +T= 23

3T +2= 23

3T= 23 -2

3T= 21

T= 21 ÷3

T= 7

Substitute T= 7 into (2):

R= 2(7) +2

R= 14 +2

R= 16

Thus, Richard is 16 years old and Teo is 7 years old.

The sum of 9 times a number and 8 is 3

Answers

Answer: 9n+8=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's break this down

"sum" refers to addition so we must be adding 9 times a number and 8

So far we have "9 times a number + 8"

We can use the variable, n to represent "a number"

Now we have "9 times n +8"

"times" refers to multiplication, so we should multiply 9 and n

Now we have "9n+8"

"is 3" simply means that this will equal 3

So now we have the equation 9n+8=3

5. Gavin makes a homemade cleaner using į cup vinegar
for every 2 quarts of water.

Answers

Answer:

For every 2 quarts of water, ¹/₂ cup of vinegar is used.

⇒ To find the amount of vinegar, divide the number of quarts by 4.

⇒ To find the number of quarts, multiply the amount of vinegar by 4.

4 qt water = 4 ÷ 4 = 1 cup vinegar

1¹/₂ cups vinegar = 1¹/₂ x 4 = 6 qt water

8 qt water = 8 ÷ 4 = 2 cup vinegar

Plot the points on the graph (see second attached image).

Draw a line through the points.

Find 3 along the x-axis and trace up to the line. Trace along to the y-axis.

Therefore, Gavin would need to use 12 quarts of water with 3 cups of vinegar.

6.1291 < 8.3 < 8.308 < 8.38

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by looking at the whole numbers.

6 < 8


Since the only whole numbers are 6 and 8, we can rule out that the smallest number, or with the least value, is 6.

Next, look at the tens place.

Since they are all 8.3--, we cannot find the next one until we look at the hundredths place.

Next, look at the hundredths place.

Keep in mind that 8.3 is the same as 8.300

There is 8.30 < 8.38 and 8.308 <8.380

Now we know the lowest value and the highest value! (6.1291 and 8.38)

Between the last two, let's figure out where they place


Look at the thousandths place.

8.300 < 8.308

Hence, the answer provided above!

6.1291  < 8.3 < 8.308 < 8.38

Write the equation of the trigonometric graphs.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]2 \cos(4x) [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The highest and lowest value is 2 and -2 respectively so the amplitude is 2.

That also means the vertical translation is 0.

The graph is reaches it max every pi/2 units so the period is

pi/2.

Since the graph intersects a non zero value at 0, it will be the cosine function.

Step 2: A cosine function is

[tex]a \cos(b(x - c)) + d[/tex]

where a is the amplitude

[tex] \frac{2\pi}{ |b| } [/tex]

is the period

C is the horinzontal shift

d is the vertical shift

We know a is 2

D is 0.

To find b,

[tex] \frac{2\pi}{b} = \frac{\pi}{2} [/tex]

[tex]b = 4[/tex]

So as of right now we have

[tex]2 \cos(4x) [/tex]

Answer(s):

[tex]\displaystyle y = 2sin\:(4x + \frac{\pi}{2}) \\ y = 2cos\:4x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\displaystyle y = Asin(Bx - C) + D \\ \\ Vertical\:Shift \hookrightarrow D \\ Horisontal\:[Phase]\:Shift \hookrightarrow \frac{C}{B} \\ Wavelength\:[Period] \hookrightarrow \frac{2}{B}\pi \\ Amplitude \hookrightarrow |A| \\ \\ Vertical\:Shift \hookrightarrow 0 \\ Horisontal\:[Phase]\:Shift \hookrightarrow \frac{C}{B} \hookrightarrow \boxed{-\frac{\pi}{8}} \hookrightarrow \frac{-\frac{\pi}{2}}{4} \\ Wavelength\:[Period] \hookrightarrow \frac{2}{B}\pi \hookrightarrow \boxed{\frac{\pi}{2}} \hookrightarrow \frac{2}{4}\pi \\ Amplitude \hookrightarrow 2[/tex]

OR

[tex]\displaystyle y = Acos(Bx - C) + D \\ \\ Vertical\:Shift \hookrightarrow D \\ Horisontal\:[Phase]\:Shift \hookrightarrow \frac{C}{B} \\ Wavelength\:[Period] \hookrightarrow \frac{2}{B}\pi \\ Amplitude \hookrightarrow |A| \\ \\ Vertical\:Shift \hookrightarrow 0 \\ Horisontal\:[Phase]\:Shift \hookrightarrow 0 \\ Wavelength\:[Period] \hookrightarrow \frac{2}{B}\pi \hookrightarrow \boxed{\frac{\pi}{2}} \hookrightarrow \frac{2}{4}\pi \\ Amplitude \hookrightarrow 2[/tex]

You will need the above information to help you interpret the graph. First off, keep in mind that although this looks EXACTLY like the cosine graph, if you plan on writing your equation as a function of sine, then there WILL be a horisontal shift, meaning that a C-term will be involved. As you can see, the photograph on the right displays the trigonometric graph of [tex]\displaystyle y = 2sin\:4x,[/tex]in which you need to replase "cosine" with "sine", then figure out the appropriate C-term that will make the graph horisontally shift and map onto the cosine graph [photograph on the left], accourding to the horisontal shift formula above. Also keep in mind that the −C gives you the OPPOCITE TERMS OF WHAT THEY REALLY ARE, so you must be careful with your calculations. So, between the two photographs, we can tell that the sine graph [photograph on the right] is shifted [tex]\displaystyle \frac{\pi}{8}\:unit[/tex]to the right, which means that in order to match the cosine graph [photograph on the left], we need to shift the graph BACKWARD [tex]\displaystyle \frac{\pi}{8}\:unit,[/tex]which means the C-term will be negative, and by perfourming your calculations, you will arrive at [tex]\displaystyle \boxed{-\frac{\pi}{8}} = \frac{-\frac{\pi}{2}}{4}.[/tex]So, the sine graph of the cosine graph, accourding to the horisontal shift, is [tex]\displaystyle y = 2sin\:(4x + \frac{\pi}{2}).[/tex]Now, with all that being said, in this case, sinse you ONLY have a graph to wourk with, you MUST figure the period out by using wavelengths. So, looking at where the graph WILL hit [tex]\displaystyle [\frac{5}{8}\pi, 0],[/tex]from there to [tex]\displaystyle [\frac{\pi}{8}, 0],[/tex]they are obviously [tex]\displaystyle \frac{\pi}{2}\:unit[/tex]apart, telling you that the period of the graph is [tex]\displaystyle \frac{\pi}{2}.[/tex]Now, the amplitude is obvious to figure out because it is the A-term, but of cource, if you want to be certain it is the amplitude, look at the graph to see how low and high each crest extends beyond the midline. The midline is the centre of your graph, also known as the vertical shift, which in this case the centre is at [tex]\displaystyle y = 0,[/tex]in which each crest is extended two units beyond the midline, hence, your amplitude. So, no matter how far the graph shifts vertically, the midline will ALWAYS follow.

Answer: 75

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of the red arc or chord is  75 degrees

What is Circle?

A circle is a shape consisting of all points in a plane that are at a given distance from a given point, the centre.

From the given figure we observe that ∠ACB is vertical angle of ∠ECD

∠ECD = 75 degrees

∠ECD = ∠ACB as they are vertical angles

∠ACB = 75 degrees

∠ACB  is the central angle.

The central angle of an arc is the central angle subtended by the arc. The measure of an arc is the measure of its central angle.

So measure of arc AB is 75 degrees
