How do you find the solution to system of equations?
Parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction. PEMDAS
What is a vector in mathematics?
For example, imagine a submarine is at a dangerous depth and we are interested in that fact. You might ask:
What is the temperature down there? In case they freeze down there.
What is the pressure on the hull? In case it is crushed.
What is the speed of the submarine? So they can get out of trouble quickly.
Now, the answers to the first two questions will satisfy your curiosity. They probably will freeze at -12 degrees but the hull can withstand a pressure of 12,000 megapascals, but told that the sub was going at 2 knots wouldn't help. You'd probably ask again, "Up, down, backwards or forwards?"
Pressure and temperature are NOT VECTORS in physics. They just need a quantity to show all about them. VECTORS on the other hand, like velocity, have quantity and also direction, and both of these are necessary to show them. Two knots down is very different from two knots up.
You might argue that the pressure on the top of the sub is down and the pressure on the bottom of the sub is up. This is true, but we know that information without anybody looking or telling us. It's not necessry to be told that. The direction a pressure acts is defined by the situation, but a velocity isn't given by the shape of the object or the direction it's facing.
Therefore, Vectors are qualities with quantity and direction.
For example, suppose you are in a car going at 60 mph due North and there is a cross-wind blowing at 20 mph from the west. What will be the speed and direction of the airflow over the car? If you do that, you're doing a Vector algebra sum.
What is the second derivative of x2 ln x?
First one:
f'(x) = 2x*lnx + x^2*(1/x) = 2x*lnx + x = x*(2*lnx + 1)
Second derivate:
f"(x) = D [x*(2*lnx + 1)] = 1*(2*lnx + 1) + x*(2/x)
= 2*lnx+1+2
= 2*lnx + 3
So, there is a minimum in this graph on point (1/e^(1/2)), -1/(2e)) = MIN(x, y)

What is the domain of the natural log function?
The domain of y=lnx is (0,∞) and the range is (-∞,∞).
What are disadvantages to using equations?
None - except that some people are, unreasonably, uncomfortable with equations.
What is the conversion for milliters to cubic centimeters?
Those are different names for the same unit.
Delta represents a change. Therefore, "delta x" means "change in x."
No. 12 is rational because it can be written as a fraction, 12/1, or 24/2, 120/10, and so on. Also, it terminates at the decimal place, and does not continue on forever without pattern. However, the square root of 12 is irrational.
What should be added to both sides of this equation to solve for the variable d plus -6 equals 15?
+6
How do you do you solve x over 3 plus 5 equals 11?
x/3 + 5 = 11
Subtract 5 from both sides: x/3 = 6
Multiply both sides by 3: x = 18
How many millameters are 68 centermeters?
The prefixes are "milli" (not milla) for 1/1000, and "centi" (not center) for 1/100. One centimeter = 10 mm, therefore, to convert from cm to mm, you simply multiply by 10.
Why don't balls bounce as high during the second bounce as they do the first bounce?
When the ball hits the ground some energy is given up during the compression and decompression of the ball. The difference between bouncing it on concrete and sand. The sand almost stops the ball while the concrete bounces it back up fairly well. The sound it makes requires energy. Also gravity would rather have an object falling towards the larger mass than away.
If AB equals 3x plus 5 and NM equals 2x plus 1 then NM equals what?
NM equals 2x + 1, as stated in the question!
What is an irrational number between 5 and 7?
4*sqrt(2)
Rational multiples of irrational numbers are irrational.
sqrt(2) is about 1.414, and 5/4 = 1.25 < 1.414... < 1.75 = 7/4 so
4*sqrt(2) is between 5 and 7, and is irrational.
Is 8x10 plus 2x5 a polynomial?
Yah, (80 + 10)... it's a polynomial
but after you add them up, (90) it's a monomial.
Hope I helped :)
What is the property of 6 plus y equals y plus 6?
That's called the commutative property.
That's called the commutative property.

That's called the commutative property.
3x plus 6 equals 5x-20 what is x?
3x + 6 = 5x - 20
Subtract 3x from both sides: 6 = 2x - 20
Add 20 to both sides: 26 = 2x
Divide both sides by 2: 13 = x
Why is the empty set a subset of all sets?
A subset of a given set is simply any set, all of whose elements are contained in the other. Since the empty set has no elements, all of its elements are in any other set! It sounds weird, but that's the way logic works. To put it another way, a set A is NOT a subset of B if there is some element x of A that is not in B. Since the empty set has no elements that are not in your given set, we can't say it is NOT a subset. That means that it is. To select a subset, we must look at each member of the set and decide whether to keep it. If we say "yes" to every member, we have the set itself; if we say "no" to all of them, we have the empty set. We could choose to exclude these from the definition of subset, but it makes a lot of things easier if we include them. That way there are no special cases to deal with when we state theorems.
