The answer is B, C, and D. Like terms are terms with all the same variable, so 5x and -x are like terms.
C is correct. If we add -x to 5x, we get 4x. The other numbers remain unchanged because they have no like terms.
D is correct. Applying the rule of like terms, which is that like terms are numbers with the same variable, only add together numbers with the same variable.
Hope this helps!
<u>Solution-

A researcher placed a petri dish with 32,000 bacterial cells. One hour after being placed in the vacuum chamber, the number of cells in the petri dish had halved. Another hour later, the number of cells had again halved.
This can be represented as exponential decreasing function,

Where,
-
a = starting amount = 32000
- r = rate = 50% = 0.5 as the sample becomes halved in each hour
- x = hours
Putting the values,


y-intercept means, where x=0, so

The coordinate of this poin will be (0, 32000)
This means when x=0 or at the starting of the research, the number of bacteria cells was 32000.
After 3 hours, number of bacteria cells will be,



The coordinate of this point will be (3, 4000)
The x-coordinate remains the same as the x-coordinate of point B.
The y-coordinate becomes the additive inverse of the y-coordinate of point B.
Answer: B. (3, -8)
148 is the answer because
8,120+64,100=72,220
72,220 divide by 488 = 147.991803
rounded is 148
Answer:
yes, it is possible to have the sum of square roots equal the square root of the sum of the radicands.
If either a or b equals zero, then the sums would be the same.
Since the square root of 0 is 0, adding it to a given radical would not change the radical. Also adding zero to the radicand would not change its value.
