Which statement best explains the value of 17 − (−3)?a. The additive inverse of −3 is −3, so 17 − (−3) = 20.
b.The additive inverse of −3 is +3, so 17 − (−3) = 20.
c.The additive inverse of −3 is −3, so 17 − (−3) = 14.
d. The additive inverse of −3 is +3, so 17 − (−3) = 14.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

The answer to the question would be

B. The additive inverse of-3 is +3, so 17-(-3)=20   That's because if you do KCC (Keep Change Change )then you would get 17+3 add 3+17=20 that's easy


Answer 2
Answer:

Answer: 20

Step-by-step explanation: -3 is +3, so 17- (-3) = 20

Which of the following ordered pair could NOT be included in this set if it is a function? { (-4, 2), (3, 6), (4, 3), (x, y) } A. (x, y) = (1, 2)
B. (x, y) = (-3, 6)
C. (x, y) = (3, 6)
D. (x, y) = (4, -3)

Answers

Answer: (D) 4, -3

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for the set of coordinates to be a function, there cannot be duplicate x-values. So, there cannot be the following: -4, 3, 4

A) x = 1   this CAN be in the set

B) x = -3  this CAN be in the set

C) x = 3 and y = 6   this is a duplicate of a coordinate already in the set.  You can plot this point and still pass the vertical line test

D) x = 4 and y = -3   this cannot be included in the set . It will create two different coordinates passing through x = 4 so will fail the vertical line test.


Answer:

C. (x, y) = (3, 6)

Step-by-step explanation: A function is when x's don't repeat.

The correct answer is C. (x, y) = (3, 6) because it would repeating the x's.

Here's Why:

{ (-4, 2), (3, 6), (4, 3), (x, y) }

If you substitute in (3, 6) for the last ordered pair, it would be repeating the number 3. So, (3, 6) can not be included in the set. But the ordered pairs that would NOT be repeating the x's, are these ordered pairs:

A. (x, y) = (1, 2)

B. (x, y) = (-3, 6)

D. (x, y) = (4, -3)

A, B, & D are ordered pairs that can make this set a function.

Solan and Julie each planted tulips. Of Solan's 20 tulips, 15 were red, while 10 of Julie's 20 tulips were red. Howmuch greater was Solan's fraction of red tulips than Julie's?

Answers

Answer: Fraction of red tulips of Solan is greater than fraction of red tulips of Julie by 0.75-0.5=0.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

In case of Solan:

Number of red  tulips = 15

Total number of tulips = 20

In case of Julie :

Number of red tulips = 10

Total number of tulips = 20

So, Fraction of red tulips of Solan is given by (15)/(20)=0.75

Fraction of red tulips of Julie is given by (10)/(20)=0.50

So, Fraction of red tulips of Solan is greater than fraction of red tulips of Julie by 0.75-0.5=0.25.

Answer:

Solan's tulip fraction was 1.5 times greater than Julie's.

Step-by-step explanation:

15/20 of Solan's tulips were red, while 10/20 of Julie's were red.

Solan's tulip fraction was 1.5 times greater than Julie's.

Whats the rate of change in y=1.5x

Answers

"Rate of change" is how much one variable changes when the other changes. In linear equations this is know as "slope" (since slope equals the change in Y relative to the change in X). Next remember that any linear equation can be written in the form: y = mx + b, where m = slope and b = y-intercept (place where line crosses the y-axis). Therefore to figure out rate of change (or slope) of a linear equation simply rewrite the equation in the y = mx + b form. In your case, the equation is already written that way. y = 1.5x (note that in this case b = 0) So in this formula m = 1.5. The rate of change is equal to 1.5. Another way this could be said is that when x increases by one unit, y will increase by 1.5 units. Plugging in any set of numbers will show this is true: If X = 1; Y = 1.5 If X = 2; Y = 3 (X increases by 1; Y increases by 1.5) If X = 3; Y = 4.5 (Again X increase by 1; Y increase by 1.5) ...
