Answer:

5/28

Step-by-step explanation:

1/1 represents the whole amount of tickets.

4/7 are sold on Thursday.

an additional 1/4 are did on Friday.

fraction of available tickets on Saturday are therefore

1/1 - 4/7 - 1/4 = 4/1 - 16/7 - 1/1 = 28/1 - 16/1 - 7/1 = 5/1

that means out of 28 equal parts of the total number of tickets 16+7 = 23 parts have been sold.

so, there are only 5 out of the total 28 parts available on Saturday, and the fraction of available tickets is therefore 5/28.

we could have also tried to bring both fractions to the same denominator, and found that this is 28.

and then

4/7 + 1/4 = 4/4 × 4/7 + 7/7 × 1/4 =

= 16/28 + 7/28 = 23/28

and the whole is 28/28.

so we have 28/27 - 23/28 = 5/28 left.

surprise, surprise, it is the same result ...

The line $y = 3$ intersects the graph of $y = 4x^2 + x - 1$ at the points $A$ and $B$. The distance between $A$ and $B$ can be w

raketka [301]

Answer:

61

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the points $A$ and $B$ .

We know that the $y$ -coordinates of both are $3$ .

So let's first solve:

$3=4x^2+x-1$

Subtract 3 on both sides:

$0=4x^2+x-1-3$

Simplify:

$0=4x^2+x-4$

I'm going to use the quadratic formula, $x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ , to solve.

We must first compare to the quadratic equation, $ax^2+bx+c=0$ .

$a=4$

$b=1$

$c=-4$

$\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1^2-4(4)(-4)}}{2(4)}$

$\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1+64}}{8}$

$\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{65}}{8}$

Since the distance between the points $A$ and $B$ is horizontal. We know this because they share the same $y-coordinate$ .This means we just need to find the positive difference between the $x$ -values we found for the points of $A$ and $B$ .

So that is, the distance between $A$ and $B$ is:

$\frac{-1+\sqrt{65}}{8}-\frac{-1-\sqrt{65}}{8}$

$\frac{-1+\sqrt{65}+1+\sqrt{65}}{8}$

$\frac{2\sqrt{65}}{8}$

$\frac{\sqrt{65}}{4}$

If we compare this to $\frac{\sqrt{m}}{n}$ , we should see that:

$m=65 \text{ and } n=4$ .

So $m-n=65-4=61$ .

Determine the inverse of the function f (x) = 4(x − 3)2 + 2. inverse of f of x is equal to 3 minus the square root of the quanti

Elodia [21]

The inverse of the function f(x) = 4(x-3)² + 2 is $f^{-1}(x) = \sqrt{\frac{x-2}{4} } + 3$

The given function is:

f(x) = 4(x - 3)² + 2

To find the inverse of the function:

Make x as the subject of the formula

$4(x-3)^2 = f(x) - 2\\(x-3)^2 = \frac{f(x)-2}{4} \\x - 3 = \sqrt{\frac{f(x)-2}{4} } \\x = \sqrt{\frac{f(x)-2}{4} } + 3$

Replace x by $f^{-1}(x)$ and replace f(x) by x

$f^{-1}(x) = \sqrt{\frac{x-2}{4} } + 3$

Therefore, the inverse of the function is:

$f^{-1}(x) = \sqrt{\frac{x-2}{4} } + 3$

Hello.

The answer is choice A. angle 1 = 118, angle 2 = 118

Explanation:

The four angles above are congruent (meaning the same) to the ones beneath.

Angles 1 and 2 are also congruent, so they will measure the same.

Lets label the angles above A, B, C, D. B being the known angle, which is 118°. The angles beneath can be labelled E, F, G, H.

∠B ≅ ∠D

∠ABCD ≅ ∠EFGH

∠BD ≅ ∠FH

FH (or 1 and 2) equal 118.

50 POINTS Vanessa has 6 dimes and 2 pennies. Joachim has 1 dollar, 3 dimes, and 5 pennies. Jimmy has 5 dollars and 7 pennies. Th

Yakvenalex [24]

Vanessa: a dime = 10 cents = 0.10

A penny = 1 cent = 0.01

6 x 0.10 = 0.60

2 x 0.01 = 0.02

Total = 0.60 + 0.02 = 0.62

Joachim : a dollar = 1.00

3 x 0.10 = 0.30

5 x 0.01 = 0.05

Total = 1.00 + 0.30 + 0.05 = 1.35

Jimmy: total = 5.00 + 0.07 = 5.07

Total of all 3: 0.62 + 1.35 + 5.07 = $7.04

This is less than $8 so they don’t have enough.

They need: 8.00 - 7.04 = $0.96 more
