Answer:
(-15)/3 = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
(-15)/3
Assume that your positive tiles are yellow, and your negative tiles are red.
The question is asking, "if you take 15 red tiles and split them into three equal groups, how many will you have in each group?"
How can you model the first value of -15? With 15 red tiles.
Let’s model how to divide the tiles into three equal groups by moving one tile at a time into three separate groups until all 15 tiles have been moved.
Step 1.
Start with 15 red tiles, as in the first picture.
Step 2.
Start by moving tiles one at a time to begin creating three new groups.
The middle picture shows the situation after you have moved the first three tiles.
Step 3.
Continue moving tiles one at a time from the original group and stacking them evenly in the three new groups until you have no more tiles to move.
The third picture shows the situation when you have finished.
How many red tiles are in each group? There are five.
Is the answer positive or negative? The answer is negative, because there are five red negative tiles in each group.
Conclusion? (-15)/3 = -5

Then by the fundamental theorem of calculus, we have
Answer:
- See the graph attached
- x₁ ≈ - 2.1
- x₂ ≈ 0.2
Explanation:
To solve log (−5.6x + 1.3) = −1 − x graphycally, you must graph this system of equations on the same coordinate plane:
- Equation 1: y = log (5.6x + 1.3)
- Equatin2: y = - 1 - x
1) To graph the equation 1 you can use these features of logarithmfunctions:
- Domain: positive values ⇒ -5.6x + 1.3 > 0 ⇒ x < 13/56 (≈ 0.23)
- Range: all real numbers (- ∞ , ∞)
- x-intercept:
log ( -5.6x + 1.3) = 0 ⇒ -5.6x + 1.3 = 1 ⇒x = 0.3/5.6 ≈ 0.054
- y-intercept:
x = 0 ⇒ log (0 + 1.3) = log (1.3) ≈ 0.11
- Pick some other values and build a table:
x log (-5.6x + 1.3)
-1 0.8
-2 1.1
-3 1.3
- You can see such graph on the picture attached: it is the red curve.
2) Graphing the equation 2 is easier because it is a line: y = - 1 - x
- slope, m = - 1 (the coeficient of x)
- y - intercept, b = - 1 (the constant term)
- x - intercept: y = 0 = - 1 - x ⇒ x = - 1
- The graph is the blue line on the picture.
3) The solution or solutions of the equations are the intersection points of the two graphs. So, now the graph method just requires that you read the x coordinates of the intersection points. From the least to the greatest, rounded to the nearest tenth, they are:
- <u><em>x₁ ≈ - 2.1</em></u>
- <u><em>x₂ ≈ 0.2</em></u>
