Evaluate the following mathematical expression:
∣−12∣−(−4)×2|-12| - (-4) \times 2
Which of the following is the correct calculated value?
Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 2020

Cevap

The correct result of the expression is 2020.
Following the order of operations, first evaluate the absolute value: ∣−12∣=12|-12| = 12. Next, perform the multiplication: −4×2=−8-4 \times 2 = -8. Finally, perform the subtraction: 12−(−8)12 - (-8). Since subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number, the expression becomes 12+8=2012 + 8 = 20.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Evaluate the absolute value
∣−12∣=12|-12| = 12
Absolute value represents the distance from zero on a number line, so it is always non-negative.
2
Perform the multiplication
−4×2=−8-4 \times 2 = -8
According to the standard order of operations (PEMDAS), multiplication must be performed before subtraction.
3
Subtract the product from the absolute value result
12−(−8)=12+8=2012 - (-8) = 12 + 8 = 20
Subtracting a negative integer is mathematically equivalent to adding its positive counterpart.

An algebraic expression is given below:

−2p(3q−p)−[4pq−p(2p+5q)]-2p(3q - p) - [4pq - p(2p + 5q)]

When fully simplified, which of the following represents the equivalent polynomial?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 4p2−5pq4p^2 - 5pq

Cevap

4p2−5pq4p^2 - 5pq
The expression simplifies correctly by first distributing the multipliers: −2p(3q−p)=−6pq+2p2-2p(3q - p) = -6pq + 2p^2 and −p(2p+5q)=−2p2−5pq-p(2p + 5q) = -2p^2 - 5pq. The bracket becomes [4pq−2p2−5pq]=[−pq−2p2][4pq - 2p^2 - 5pq] = [-pq - 2p^2]. Distributing the negative sign outside the bracket gives +pq+2p2+pq + 2p^2. Finally, combining all terms: (−6pq+2p2)+(pq+2p2)=4p2−5pq(-6pq + 2p^2) + (pq + 2p^2) = 4p^2 - 5pq.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Distribute the outer multiplier −2p-2p into the first binomial.
−6pq+2p2-6pq + 2p^2
Applying the distributive property: −2p(3q)=−6pq-2p(3q) = -6pq and −2p(−p)=+2p2-2p(-p) = +2p^2.
2
Distribute −p-p into the binomial within the square brackets.
4pq−2p2−5pq4pq - 2p^2 - 5pq
Applying the distributive property inside the grouping: −p(2p)=−2p2-p(2p) = -2p^2 and −p(5q)=−5pq-p(5q) = -5pq.
3
Combine like terms inside the square brackets.
−pq−2p2-pq - 2p^2
Combining the like terms 4pq4pq and −5pq-5pq yields −pq-pq.
4
Distribute the negative sign outside the square brackets to the simplified contents.
+pq+2p2+pq + 2p^2
Subtracting a quantity is equivalent to adding its opposite: −(−pq−2p2)=+pq+2p2-(-pq - 2p^2) = +pq + 2p^2.
5
Combine all remaining terms from the entire expression.
2p2−6pq+pq+2p2=4p2−5pq2p^2 - 6pq + pq + 2p^2 = 4p^2 - 5pq
Grouping like terms: (2p2+2p2)+(−6pq+pq)=4p2−5pq(2p^2 + 2p^2) + (-6pq + pq) = 4p^2 - 5pq.

Cevap: −9x2y+14xy2-9x^2y + 14xy^2

Cevap

The correct expression is −9x2y+14xy2-9x^2y + 14xy^2.
The correct expression is derived by applying the order of operations and the distributive property. First, evaluate the terms inside the brackets to get 3x2y−6xy23x^2y - 6xy^2. Then expand the initial term to −6x2y+8xy2-6x^2y + 8xy^2. Subtracting the bracket flips the inner signs, yielding −6x2y+8xy2−3x2y+6xy2-6x^2y + 8xy^2 - 3x^2y + 6xy^2. Combining like terms results in −9x2y+14xy2-9x^2y + 14xy^2.

A wire manufacturing facility operates 4040 extrusion machines simultaneously. Each machine produces 1515 centimeters of copper wire per second. How many kilometers of copper wire do all 4040 machines produce combined in exactly one hour?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 21.621.6

Cevap

The machines produce a combined total of 21.621.6 kilometers of copper wire in one hour.
First, find the facility's total production per second by multiplying 4040 machines by 1515 cm, yielding 600600 cm/sec. Next, multiply by 3,6003,600 (the number of seconds in one hour) to find the hourly production in centimeters, which equals 2,160,0002,160,000 cm. Finally, convert centimeters to kilometers by dividing by 100,000100,000 (100 cm=1 m100 \text{ cm} = 1 \text{ m} and 1,000 m=1 km1,000 \text{ m} = 1 \text{ km}), resulting in 21.621.6 kilometers.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate the total length of wire produced per second by all machines combined.
40×15=60040 \times 15 = 600 centimeters per second.
This establishes the facility's baseline production rate before factoring in a longer duration.
2
Scale the production rate from seconds to hours.
600×3,600=2,160,000600 \times 3,600 = 2,160,000 centimeters per hour.
There are 6060 seconds in a minute and 6060 minutes in an hour, meaning there are 3,6003,600 seconds in exactly one hour.
3
Convert the total length from centimeters to kilometers.
2,160,000÷100,000=21.62,160,000 \div 100,000 = 21.6 kilometers.
Since there are 100100 centimeters in a meter and 1,0001,000 meters in a kilometer, the total conversion factor is 100,000100,000 centimeters per kilometer.

Read the passage below:

Closed-circuit rebreathers used in deep salvage diving recirculate exhaled gas through a canister packed with chemical absorbent. Rather than merely trapping physical particulate, this chemical bed actively binds exhaled carbon dioxide through an exothermic reaction, converting the gas into solid carbonate and water vapor. Because this process releases noticeable warmth and moisture, divers rely on canister heat as an operational indicator that the chemical scrubber is actively neutralizing toxic gas buildup rather than failing passively.

Evaluate the following statement as True or False:
Based on the passage, the author's primary intent in contrasting chemical binding with physical particulate trapping is to emphasize that carbon dioxide removal depends on an active reaction rather than simple mechanical filtration.

Each verbal phrase contains specific operational keywords ('quotient', 'product', 'sum', 'difference') and ordering phrases ('subtracted from', 'less than'). Correct translation requires accurately identifying the operations, maintaining the proper sequence, and utilizing grouping symbols where compound expressions are modified.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the first phrase: 'Twice the difference when seven is subtracted from three times a number xx'.
The phrase translates to 2(3x−7)2(3x - 7).
The phrase 'subtracted from' reverses the order, making it 3x−73x - 7. 'Twice the difference' requires multiplying the entire grouping by 2.
2
Analyze the second phrase: 'Three times a number xx subtracted from the square of five more than the number'.
The phrase translates to (x+5)2−3x(x + 5)^2 - 3x.
The base quantity is 'five more than the number' (x+5x + 5), which is then squared to become (x+5)2(x + 5)^2. Subtracting 3x3x from this quantity gives the final expression.
3
Analyze the third phrase: 'The quotient of five less than twice a number xx and three more than the number'.
The phrase translates to 2x−5x+3\frac{2x - 5}{x + 3}.
'Quotient' implies a division. The first part, 'five less than twice a number', forms the numerator (2x−52x - 5). The second part, 'three more than the number', forms the denominator (x+3x + 3).
4
Analyze the fourth phrase: 'The sum of a number xx and four, divided by the product of three and the number, all decreased by eight'.
The phrase translates to x+43x−8\frac{x + 4}{3x} - 8.
The fraction is constructed with 'the sum' (x+4x + 4) over 'the product' (3x3x). The phrase 'all decreased by eight' instructs to subtract 8 from the complete fraction.

An important part of algebraic evaluation is applying operations in the correct sequence. Consider the mathematical expression provided below:

−32+4×[15÷(2−5)]−(−6) -3^2 + 4 \times [15 \div (2 - 5)] - (-6)

What is the final calculated value of this expression?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: -23

Cevap

-23
Following the strict order of operations, we first resolve the grouping symbols from the inside out to get −5-5 for the bracketed term. Next, we evaluate the isolated exponent −32-3^2 as −9-9. Then, we multiply the 44 by our bracketed result of −5-5 to get −20-20. Finally, we perform addition and subtraction from left to right: −9+(−20)+6-9 + (-20) + 6, which results in −23-23.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Evaluate innermost parentheses
(2−5)=−3(2 - 5) = -3
Order of operations dictates solving expressions inside the innermost grouping symbols first.
2
Evaluate brackets
[15÷(−3)]=−5[15 \div (-3)] = -5
Continue evaluating operations inside the next level of grouping symbols.
3
Evaluate exponent
−32=−9-3^2 = -9
Exponents are evaluated before multiplication and division. The negative sign is outside the base, so only the 3 is squared.
4
Perform multiplication
4×(−5)=−204 \times (-5) = -20
Multiplication and division are performed from left to right before any addition or subtraction.
5
Perform addition and subtraction
−9+(−20)−(−6)=−23-9 + (-20) - (-6) = -23
Add and subtract from left to right. Subtracting a negative number is mathematically equivalent to adding a positive number.

Read the passage below:

Aviation maintenance protocols mandate inflating commercial aircraft tires with dry nitrogen rather than standard compressed ambient air. Ambient air contains fluctuating amounts of water vapor and oxygen, both of which introduce severe hazards under extreme flight cycles. At cruising altitudes exceeding 30,000 feet, ambient temperatures plummet below minus forty degrees, causing entrained moisture to freeze into ice crystals that disrupt wheel balance and damage valve stems. Conversely, during high-speed landings, friction heats the tire assemblies to temperatures where pressurized oxygen can sustain internal rubber combustion. By displacing oxygen and eliminating moisture, chemically inert nitrogen stabilizes internal pressure swings and prevents catastrophic thermal blowouts.

Based on the passage, match each excerpted statement to the author's specific communicative intent in including it.

Cevap

Match the statement regarding fluctuating amounts of water vapor and oxygen to defining core chemical vulnerabilities; match the statement detailing subzero cruising temperatures and ice crystals to providing a concrete environmental example of physical risks; match the statement describing nitrogen's displacement of oxygen and moisture to summarizing how the mandated gas solves identified risks.
Each excerpt fulfills a distinct rhetorical stage in the author's explanatory argument: the first excerpt establishes the underlying chemical vulnerability, the second illustrates a specific operational hazard under extreme cold, and the third provides the comprehensive solution demonstrating why nitrogen is mandated.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the rhetorical role of the first excerpt regarding water vapor and oxygen components.
The statement sets up the problem by naming the two problematic elements of atmospheric air, functioning to define the chemical basis of the hazard.
Identifying the organizational structure helps determine why an author introduces a premise prior to supporting examples.
2
Examine the context and purpose of the cruising altitude excerpt.
The excerpt details specific flight conditions (below minus forty degrees) and mechanical consequences (ice crystals, wheel imbalance), serving as an illustrative example of cold-weather hazards.
Specific operational metrics and physical outcomes demonstrate supporting evidence rather than overarching claims.
3
Determine the function of the closing sentence regarding inert nitrogen.
The sentence synthesizes the entire argument by linking nitrogen's chemical properties to the prevention of the previously detailed failures.
Concluding statements typically resolve the conflict or explain the rationale behind the primary topic.
