6x² (-5x+16) what is the answer

Answers

Answer: [tex]-30x^{3} + 96x^{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

-30x³ + 96x²

Step-by-step explanation:

Algebraic expressions:

 To simplify the algebraic expression, multiply each term of (-5x + 16) by 6x².

When we multiply 6x² * (-5x), multiply the coefficient 6 & -5 and add the powers of the variables.

6x²*(-5x + 16) = 6x² *(-5x) +6x²*16

                      = -30x³ + 96x²

A car's engine provides a forward force of 2000 N while the force of air resistance is 800 N in the opposite direction. With what
(1 point)
force will the car move, and in which direction?
O 16000 N forward
O 2800 N forward
O 1200 N backward
O 1200 N forward

Answers

The answer to this question is 2,800 N forward

The car will move with a force of 1200 N in forward direction .

The correct option is D .

Data obtained from the question

Forward force = 2000 N

Force of air resistance = 800 N

Net force the car will use to move as illustrated below:

Net force = forward force - force of air resistance

Net force = 2000N - 800N

Net force = 1200 N forward

The net force represents the overall force acting on the car. In this case, the net force is 1200 N forward. This means that the car will experience a force of 1200 N pushing it in the forward direction.

Thus, the car will move with a force of 1200 N in forward direction .

The correct option is D .

The point (-4, 1) is rotated 180 degrees counterclockwise using center (-3, 0). What are the coordinates of the image?

Answers

The coordinates of the image is (4,-1) that is option D) is correct.

According to the question we have been given that

        the point to be rotated = (-4,1)

           center = (-3,0)

        Rotation = 180° counterclockwise.

Note that when the point is rotated 180° counterclockwise then the coordinate of the image point will be

   (x , y ) = (-x , - y)

For the coordinates of the image first we translate the center to the origin that is

    (-3,0) = (-3+3,0) = (0,0)

Now we will do same for the point that is,

   (-4 , 1) = (-4+3 , 1) = (-1,1)

Now the points are (-1,1). Thus the image will be  

   (-1,1) = (-(-1), -1) = (1,-1)

Now undoing the original translation :

  (1,-1) = (1+3,-1) = (4,-1)

Hence the coordinates of the image is (4,-1) that is option D) is correct.

In mathematical terms, Number Line is defined:

A visual representation of numbers(whole, natural, decimal, integers, fraction) using a horizontal line drawn straight with equal spacing divisions that represent each number.

Numbers are marked at equal intervals ans it is used to illustrate basic numeric operators. There is no limit to a number line, which means that it expands to positive and negative infinity. The middle of the number line is represented by zero, and on the right side are all the positive values up to the positive infinity. The same for the left side where are all the negative values are listed up to the negative infinity.

Now what is given to us in the question statement are a bunch of decimals. We know decimal numbers are considered real numbers and thus can easily be plotted on the number line. In order to plot the decimal numbers, we need to mark the intervals with decimals values.

The image attached below gives a clear representation of how the numbers will be plotted.

an triangle has a angle of 75 degrees, x and y are the missing angles but x is twice y, what are the possibilities of x and y?

Answers

Answer:

  x = 70°

  y = 35°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given one angle of a triangle is 75° and the other two are 'x' and 'y', you want to find the possible values of 'x' and 'y' when x = 2y.

Setup

The angle sum theorem and the given relation give rise to two equations:

  75 +x +y = 180

  x = 2y

Solution

Using the second equation to substitute for x in the first equation, we have ...

  75 +(2y) +y = 180

  3y = 105 . . . . . . . . . subtract 75 and simplify

  y = 105/3 = 35

  x = 2y = 2(35) = 70

The measures of angles x and y are 70° and 35°, respectively.

Write an equation of a line that is (a) parallel to the given line and (b) perpendicular to the given line. Where the given line is x= -4 ;

I got An equation of a line parallel to the x axis is y=-4x+3, and An equation of a line perpendicular to the x axis is x=4 is this right? If not what would be a better answer?

Answers

Answer:

(a) x = 10

(b) y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

For a line of the form y = mx + b, the slope is m, b is the y-intercept

A parallel line will have the same slope and a different y intercept

A perpendicular line has a slope = -1/m

But x = -4 is a line parallel to the y axis intercepting the x-axis at -4. So slope = ∞

Therefore here are equations for a parallel line and a perpendicular line

A parallel line will have the form x = k where k is a constant(positive or negative). So x = 10 is a line parallel to x = -4

A perpendicular line will be of the form y = 4 or y = -10 or whatever, i.e. without the x component. Such a line will be parallel to the x-axis so both lines are perpendicular

Regarding your questions

y = 4x + 3 has a slope of 4 and a y intersect of 3 so it will be a sloping line
x = 4 will be parallel, not perpendicular to x = -4

I have provided a graph which makes this explanation clearer. The dotted line is x = 4 and you can see it is parallel to x = -4

From the given diagram, we can write that

(3x + 10)° + 90° + (2x + 15)° = 180°  (Sum of angles on a line segment)

Solve for x in the equation

(3x + 10)° + 90° + (2x + 15)° = 180°

3x° + 10° + 90° + 2x° + 15° = 180°

Collect like terms

3x° + 2x° = 180° - 10° - 90° - 15°

5x° = 65°

x = 65/5

x = 13°

Also

y + (3x + 10)°  = 180° (Sum of angles on a line segment)

Put the value of x into the equation

y + (3(13) + 10)°  = 180°

y + (39 + 10)°  = 180°

y + 49°  = 180°

y = 180° - 49°
