An easy way for me to do this is to either make all of the fractions into decimals or all the decimals into fractions, whatever you prefer. I prefer fractions, but for typing reasons I’m going to make them all decimals. Making 5/48 into a decimal you divide 5 by 48 and get 0.104... and divide 3 by 16 and get 0.1875. Then from there, look at whatever tenths place number is the least (the number after the decimal). Two of them have one, so moving onto the next number, 8>0, which means 0.104 is less then 0.1875. Then 5<7. So from least to greatest, 5/48 (0.104), 3/16 (0.1875), 0.5, 0.75.
Good Luck!
Answer: The height of the pole is 175.97 ( approx )
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the height of the pole is x cm,
Also, let the angle of elevation of the sun to the pole at 3 pm is 
Thus, by the question,

( at 3pm the height of shadow = height of the pole)


Again, according to the question,
When the angle of elevation is
,
The height of shadow = x + 95,







As

, the sequence

converges to zero.
If you're talking about the infinite series

well we've shown by comparison that this series must also converge because we know any geometric series

will converge as long as

Answer:
Each shirt cost $<u>7</u> and each pair of shorts cost $<u>17</u> .
Step-by-step explanation:
let shirts be represented as x
let shorts be represented as y
Younger brother spent $79 on 4 new shirts and 3 pairs of shorts.
4 x + 3 y = $79 .......equation 1
Older brother purchased 7 new shirts and 8 pairs of shorts and paid a total of $185.
7 x + 8 y = $185 .......equation 2
multiply equation 1 by 7 and equation 2 by -4 and add both equations to get the value of y.
7 × (4 x + 3 y = $79) ⇒ +28 x + 21 y = $553
-4 × (7 x + 8 y = $185) ⇒ <u> -28 x - 32 y = - $740</u>
0 - 11 y = - $187 ⇒ -11 y = - $187
y =
⇒ y = $17
shorts = y = $17
put value of y in equation 1
4 x + 3 ( $17 ) = $79 ⇒ 4x + $51 = $79 ⇒ 4x = $79 - $51
4x = $28 ⇒ x =
⇒ x = $7
Shirts = x = $7
Answer:
-8, -7
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x)=x^2+15x+56
0 =x^2+15x+56
What two numbers multiply together to make 56 and add together to 15
7*8 = 56
7+8=15
0 = (x+8) (x+7)
Then use the zero product property
x+8 =0 x+7 =0
x+8-8 =0-8 x+7-7 =0-7
x=-8 x=-7
