I dont understand the part "Would this be true if the numbers were-3, 5, -16, and -10?"
Yes, the numbers will be similar.
it will be true if the numbers were -3, 5, -16 and -10
Explanation:
The first list: -3, 5, 16 and -10
Arranging from least to greatest:
-10, -3, 5, 16
Arranging the same numbers from closest to zero to farthest to zero:
Let's use zero as our reference. Then start arranging towards the left and right side of it.
-10, -3, 0, 5, 16
Looking at the above: when we remove 0, we would have same answer as the arrangement from least to greatest:
-10, -3, 5, 16
The second list:
-3, 5, -16, -10
Arranging from least to greatest:
-16, -10, -3, 5
Arranging the same numbers from closest to zero to farthest to zero:
Let's use zero as our reference. Then start arranging towards the left and right side of it.
-16, -10, -3, 0, 5
Looking at the above: when we remove 0, we would have same answer as the arrangement from least to greatest:
-16, -10, -3, 5
Hence, fromt the above: if we arrange the same numbers from least to greatest and from closest to zero to farthest to zero, we would arrive at the same result.
The half-life of silicon-32 is 710 years. If 50 grams is present now, how much will be present in 700 years?(Round your answer to three decimal places.)A) OB) 25.245C) 0.054D) 46.697
In this type of question, we will use the exponential equation
[tex]y=a(b)^x[/tex]Where:
a is the initial amount
b is the factor of growth or decay
Since it is a half-life, then
b = 1/2 = 0.5
Since it is now 50 grams, then
a = 50
Since x is the number of years, then
x = 700
Substitute them in the rule above
[tex]\begin{gathered} y=50(0.5)^{700} \\ y=0 \end{gathered}[/tex]It will be representing 0 grams after 700 years

When twenty is reduced by one-third of a number, the result is 19. Find the number.
Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
When twenty is reduced by one-third of a number, the result is 19. Find the number.
20 - 1/3x = 19
subtract 20 to both sides:
20 - 1/3x - 20 = 19 - 20
-1/3x = -1
multiply both sides by -3:

what is the lcm of the rational algebraic equation 6/x+x-3/4=2
The lcm of the rational algebraic equation 6/x+x-3/4=2 be (24 -3x - 4x²) / 4x = 0.
What is LCM?The least common multiple is defined as the set of numbers with the least common multiple. The lowest positive integer with more than one factor in the set is HCF.
The given equation below as:
⇒ 6/x + x - 3/4 = 2
We must find the lcm of the rational algebraic equation.
⇒ 6/x + x - 3/4 = 2
Rearrange the term of 2 in the equation,
⇒ 6/x + x - 3/4 - 2 = 0
Take LCM in the above equation,
⇒ [tex]\dfrac{6\times4+x\times4x-3\times x -2 \times 4x}{4\times x}[/tex]
⇒ (24 + 4x² -3x - 8x²) / 4x = 0
Combine the likewise terms in the numerator,
⇒ (24 -3x - 4x²) / 4x = 0
Therefore, the required answer would be (24 -3x - 4x²) / 4x = 0.

The secant function is the reciprocal of the cosine function.
We can evaluate trigonometric functions of angles outside the first quadrant using reference angles as we have already done with the sine and cosine functions. The procedure is the same:
Find the reference angle formed by the terminal side of the given angle with the horizontal axis. The trigonometric function values for the original angle will be the same as those for the reference angle, except for the positive or negative sign, which is determined by x– and y-values in the original quadrant. (Figure) shows which functions are positive in which quadrant.
An even function is one in which f(-x) = f(x)
An even function is one in which f(-x) = - f(x)
Cosine and secant are even:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \cos (-t)=\cos (t) \\ \sec (-t)=\sec (t) \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore from the drop down the correct answer : secant function is EVEN

A line passes through the point (-4, 1) and has a slope of -2.
Write an equation in slope-intercept form for this line.
Answer:
y= -2x -7
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is given by y= mx +c.
m= slopec= y-intercept
Given that the slope is -2, we can substitute m= -2 into the equation.
y= -2x +c
The value of c can be found by substituting a point in which the line passes through into the equation. In this case, the point is (-4, 1).
y= -2x +c
When x= -4, y= 1,
1= -2(-4) +c
1= 8 +c
Subtract 8 on both sides:
c= 1 -8
c= -7
Substituting c= -7 into the equation:
y= -2x -7
Optional step:
To check our answer, we can substitute one coordinate and see if the other coordinate is the same as the given coordinate. For example, let's substitute the x-coordinate of -4 into the equation.
y= -2(-4) -7
y= 8 -7
y= 1
Since the y-coordinate is indeed 1, the equation above is correct.

When we have a binomial at the power of a number, of the form:
[tex](a+b)^n[/tex]We use Pascal's triangle to determine the expansion. Pascal's triangle is the following:
Each row can be used to calculate a specific power, in our case the binomial is at the power of three, and we will use the 4rth row to expand, that is:
[tex](a+b)^3=a^3+3a^2b+3ab^2+b^3[/tex]As you can see, the numbers that accompany a & b are the ones found in the 4th row of Pascal's triangle. We also see that the "degree" o the expansion always sums 3, that is a^3 has an overall degree of 3, a^2b has an overall degree of 3, ab^2 has an overall degree of 3 & b^3 has an overall degree of 3.
***
If we, for example, wanted to expand (a + b)^4, we then would have the following:
*We would use the 5th row and get:
[tex](a+b)^4=a^4+4a^3b+6a^2b^2+4ab^3+b^4[/tex][Pascal's triangle expands to infinity. So, you in theory can manually expand any binomial at any power, but for big numbers, it will take a long time]
***
In our case, the binomial was:
[tex](x+9)^3[/tex]And, its respective expansion is:
[tex](x+9)^3=x^3+3x^2(9)+3x(9)^2+9^3[/tex][tex]=x^3+27x^2+243x+729[/tex]Write the equation of a circle given the center (2, 9) and raduis r = 3.
Answer:
[tex](x-1)^2+(y-9)^2=3^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The standard form of the equation of a circle is:
[tex](x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2[/tex]
Where a and b are the x and y, coordinates, and r is the radius.
So, you can just substitute the a and b values for the x and y values of the center to find the equation of the circle.
30 locusts eats 420g of grass in a week ,how many days will 21locust take to eat 420g at the same rate .
420/30=14g
14g =2g why is 14g =2g
It will take 4.9 days for 21 locust to eat 420 grams of grass
How to determine the number of days?From the question, we have the following parameters:
Initial number of locust = 30Initial number of days = 7 days i.e. 1 weekNew number of locust = 21Given that the amount of grass is constant at 420 grams
The given parameters can be represented using the following ratio
Ratio = Locust : Days
So, we have
Locust : Days = 30 : 7
When there are a total number of 21 locust eating the grass, then we have
21 : Days = 30 : 7
Express as fraction
Days/21 = 7/30
This gives
Days = 21 * 7/30
