The value of the expression is [tex]-2x^2[/tex]-8x + 6.

Given expression:-

[tex](2x^2-5x+4)-(4x^2+3x-2)[/tex]

We have to find the value of the given expression.

We know that, while subtracting quadrating equations, we subtract like terms from like terms.

Like terms

Like terms are those that contain the same variables raised to the same power. Only the numerical coefficients are different. In an expression, only we can combine like terms.

For example : While adding (5x + 3) and (4x - 5), we will add 5x to 4x and 3 to -4 to get the answer that is 9x - 1.

Hence, we can write,

([tex]2x^2-4x^2[/tex]) + (-5x -3x) + (4 -(-2)) = [tex]-2x^2[/tex] -8x + 6.

The nth term of the arithmetic sequence when the numbers given are 7, 4, 1, -2 is 6 - 3n.

It should be noted that an arithmetic sequence has a common difference. In this case, the values that are given include 7, 4, 1, -2.

First term = 7

The common difference between the numbers include:

= Second term - First term

= 4 - 7

= -3

The nth term will be:

= a + (n - 1)d

where a = 7

d = -3

= a + (n - 1)d

= 7 + (n - 1) -3

= 7 -3n - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We only combine like terms when the like terms are alike

To combine like terms, we have to add the coefficients and keep the variables the same. We add like terms to make one term. Example: 7x+3x both are like terms we can combine together and write 10x.

Answer:

(0,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

x  = [tex]\frac{2-2}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{0}{2}[/tex] = 0  We are finding the average of the x values (2 and -2)

y = [tex]\frac{-5+9}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{4}{2}[/tex] = 2  we are finding the average of the y values (-5 and 9)

The relation between x and y such that the point (x, y) is equidistant from point(2, -5) and(-2, 9) = 2x + 7y = -14

Points (2, -5) and (-2, 9).

let (x, y) be A

Let (2, -5) = (-2, 9) = B

Ax = Bx (length)

Squaring on both sides

Ax² = Bx²

By distance formula

(x - 2)² + (y +5)² = (x + 2)² + (y - 9)²

x² - 4x + 4 + y² +10y + 25 = x² + 4x + 4 + y² - 18y + 81

8x + 28y = -56

by multiplying both sides by 4

2x + 7y = -14

This is the relationship between the points (x, y) which is equidistant to A and B.

With the two solutions, the quadratic equation is x^2 - 11x + 10 = 0

From the question, we have:

Number of solutions = 2

Variable = x

Where the solutions are

1 and 10

This means that

x = 1 and x = 10

Rewrite the above solutions as

x - 1 = 0 and x - 10 = 0

Multiply the above equations

(x - 1) * (x - 10) = 0

This gives

x^2 - 11x + 10 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The answers are subtraction, subtraction, and addition property of equality

There are 9 properties of equality, which are addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, distributive, substitution, reflexive, symmetric, and transitive. In this case, we are using the first 2. In algebra, whatever you do to one side has to be done to the other, in the case of the first problem x is being subtracted on both sides, which represents the definition of the subtraction property (If a = b, then a – c = b – c, a is the one side of the equation, b is the other side, and c is the subtraction done on both sides). The first one is the subtraction property of equality, then, and if we look at problem 2, the same thing is done (apart from that it is done with a number, which doesn't affect the property), so it is also the subtraction property.

Now the last problem seems to do the opposite, it seems to be adding instead, in this case, adding 1 on both sides. This follows the definition of the addition property of equality (If a = b, then a + c = b + c) since it is adding c (1) on both sides. So the last problem is the addition property of equality.

So basically 130+90=220 and 6+8=14. And 220+14=234.

When a family's ratio of income to poverty measurement is 1.05 , then the family is considered by the census bureau as rich.

The "economy food plan," which is based on the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is used as the basis for an absolute poverty indicator in the country. The World Bank also uses an absolute definition of poverty. Extreme poverty is defined as surviving on less than $1.90 USD a day.

A ratio of less than 1 generally indicates that the income is below the poverty line. When the ratio is 1, income and poverty level are equal, and when the ratio is larger than 1, income is greater than poverty level. In this case, the family is rich.

9 divided by 1557

(Tell me if you mean 1557 divided by 9 lol the wording is strange :] )

See screenshot!

Considering the definition of a line, x-intercept and y-intercept, the  x-intercept and y-intercept are (3, 0) and (0,6) respectively.

A linear equation o line can be expressed in the form y = mx + b

where

The point [y-intercept] is where the line crosses the y-axis, and occurs when x = 0.

The point [x-intercept] is that value of x for which the expression is equal to 0 and the line crosses the x-axis.

In this case, the line is 10x +5y=30. Expressed in the form y = mx + b, you get:

5y= 30 - 10x

y= (-10x + 30)÷5

y= -10/5x + 30/5

y= -2x +6

where:

The point [y-intercept] is represented by the value of the y-intercept b. So the point [y-intercept] is (0,6).

Being the point [intersection x] that value of x for which the expression is equal to 0 or y is equal to 0, in this case it is calculated as:

0= -2x + 6

-6= -2x

(-6)÷ (-2)= x

3=x

Finally, the point [x-intercept] is (3,0).

Since the isotope has only a very little amount in nature, it does not largely affect the  atomic mass of lithium.

The term isotope has to do with the atoms of the same element that do have the same atomic number but different mass numbers. The implication of this is that isotopes have the same number of protons but do not have the same number of neutrons.

Note that the average atomic mass of an atom is the weighted average of the atomic masses of all the isotopes of the compound. The isotopes that contribute greatly towards the atomic mass are those that have a larger percentage abundance.

Given that the new lithium isotope, 8Li identified  is a trace isotope, meaning that it exists in a very tiny quantity, it does not any noticeable effect on the  atomic mass of lithium.

For the first letter, we have 26 options.

For the second letter, we have 25 options, because one letter is already used.

For the third letter, we have 24 options, because 2 letters are already used.

For the first digit, we have 10 options.

For the second digit, we have 9 options, because one is already used.

For the first special character (! or #), we have 2 options.

The value of x is 18 and the value of ∠A (interior angle) is 73°.

According to the given figure,

We have:

∠A = 6x-35°

∠B = 3x+53°

The two parallel lines have been cut by another line.

(Note that when a line divides two parallel lines then the sum of the interior angles on the same side is 180° and the alternate interior angles are equal to each other.)

So, we will have the following expression:

∠A + ∠B = 180°

(6x-35+3x+53)° = 180°

9x+18 = 180

9x = 180-18

9x = 162

x = 162/9

x = 18

Now, putting the value of x in ∠A,

∠A = 6x-35°

∠A = (6*18-35)°

∠A = (108-35)°

∠A = 73°

Hence, the value of x is 18 and the measurement of ∠A is 73°.

The depth of the water is 4/5 of the depth of the trough, so the width of the surface will be 4/5 of the width of the trough:

 4/5 × 2 m = 8/5 m

Then the surface area of the water is ...

 Area = LW = (10 m)(8/5 m) = 16 m²

The rate of change of height multiplied by the area gives the rate of change of volume:
