<em>Ah yes, adding fractions! Adding fractions can be a bit of a pain.</em>

<em>So, we have  </em>\frac{2}{5} + \frac{3}{8}.

<em>To add fractions, the bottoms, or denominators, must be the same number. So we must multiply the fractions by certain numbers to make the denominators the same number. So let's go easy and make the denominator 40, because 8 goes into 40 and so does 5. So, to make 8 become 40, we'll multiply the whole fraction by 5. For 5, we'll multiply by 8.</em>

<em />5 * \frac{3}{8} = \frac{15}{40}

8 * \frac{2}{5} =  \frac{16}{40}

<em>Now we'll add the two fractions. When we add fractions we only add the tops, the numerators.</em>

<em />\frac{15}{40}+\frac{16}{40} = \frac{31}{40}

<em>Then we must reduce (or try to reduce). This fraction cannot be reduced, so the answer is simply  </em>\frac{31}{40}.

<em>I hope this helps you understand.</em>

Answer:

31/40

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression:

\dfrac{2}{5} + \dfrac{3}{8}

Note: Both fractions must have same denominators if we want to perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.

The only way to simplify this expression is to have a common denominator, which can be determined by the LCM of 5 and 8.

  • ⇒ Multiples of 5: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45...
  • ⇒ Multiples of 8: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72...

Multiply the denominators with such a number that is equivalent to 40.

Note: The number you are multiplying should also be multiplied to the numerator.

\rightarrow \dfrac{2 \times 8}{5 \times 8} + \dfrac{3 \times 5}{8 \times 5}

\rightarrow \dfrac{16}{40} + \dfrac{15}{40}

Finally, simplify the expression to determine the solution.

\rightarrow \dfrac{31}{40}

Since 31 is a prime number, we can't simplify this fraction. Thus, the final answer is 31/40.

Find the number z such that the proportion of observations that are less than z in a standard Normal distribution is 0.5414. (b)
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

Part (a) The value of Z is 0.10396. Part (b) The value of Z is 0.410008.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Part (a)

In order to find the number z such that the proportion of observations that are less than z in a standard Normal distribution is 0.5414, simply find 0.5414 in the table and search for the appropriate Z-value.

Now, observing the table it can be concluded that the value of Z is 0.10396.

Part (b)

Consider the number 65.91%

The above number can be written as 0.6591.

Now, find 0.6591 in the table and search for the appropriate Z-value.

By, observing the table it can be concluded that the value of Z is 0.410008.

If x^2+y^2=1, what is the largest possible value of |x|+|y|?
Marianna [84]

If <em>x</em>² + <em>y</em>² = 1, then <em>y</em> = ±√(1 - <em>x</em>²).

Let <em>f(x)</em> = |<em>x</em>| + |±√(1 - <em>x</em>²)| = |<em>x</em>| + √(1 - <em>x</em>²).

If <em>x</em> < 0, we have |<em>x</em>| = -<em>x</em> ; otherwise, if <em>x</em> ≥ 0, then |<em>x</em>| = <em>x</em>.

• Case 1: suppose <em>x</em> < 0. Then

<em>f(x)</em> = -<em>x</em> + √(1 - <em>x</em>²)

<em>f'(x)</em> = -1 - <em>x</em>/√(1 - <em>x</em>²) = 0   →   <em>x</em> = -1/√2   →   <em>y</em> = ±1/√2

• Case 2: suppose <em>x</em> ≥ 0. Then

<em>f(x)</em> = <em>x</em> + √(1 - <em>x</em>²)

<em>f'(x)</em> = 1 - <em>x</em>/√(1 - <em>x</em>²) = 0   →   <em>x</em> = 1/√2   →   <em>y</em> = ±1/√2

In either case, |<em>x</em>| = |<em>y</em>| = 1/√2, so the maximum value of their sum is 2/√2 = √2.

In the picture below and show steps or explain
telo118 [61]

An operation that is done to a value and it stays the same, it is called the "identity property".

Some quick examples:

Adding any number with zero will result in the same number.

Multiplying any number with one will result in the same number.

Hope this helps!
