The reciprocal of -2/5, expressed as a decimal to the nearest tenth is: -2.5.

<h3>What is the Reciprocal of a Number?</h3>

The reciprocal of a number can be described as the inverse of that number. For example, if a is given as a real number, therefore, the reciprocal of a would be 1/a.

Another example is a/b. The reciprocal of a/b is b/a.

Thus, the reciprocal of -2/5 is -5/2.

Expressing this as a decimal, we would have:

-5/2 = 2.5 (nearest tenth).

Therefore, the reciprocal of -2/5, expressed as a decimal to the nearest tenth is: -2.5.

A fuel-tanker's tank is 50 feet long and has a diameter of seven feet. Determine the surface area of the fuel tank.
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

1176.679ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The question is on surface area of a cylindrical fuel tank</u>

Equation for surface area of a cylinder

S.A = 2\pirh +2\pir²

where r is the radius of cylinder and h is height of cylinder

Diameter=7'⇒r=3.5' and h=50'

Surface Area= 2×3.142×3.5×50 + 2×3.142×3.5×3.5

S.A=1099.7+76.979=1176.679ft²

The graph of f(x) = x2 is translated to form g(x) = (x – 5)2 + 1. Which graph represents g(x)?
levacccp [35]
<span>The graph would be translated 5 units right and 1 unit up, giving an upward facing parabola with a vertex at (5, 1).

Explanation:
Since 5 was subtracted from x before it was squared, this means a horizontal translation 5 units. Since it was subtracted, this means it was translated right 5 units.

The 1 added at the end means it was translated 1 unit up as well.

This is in vertex form, y=a(x-h)^2 + k, where (h, k) is the vertex; h corresponds with 5 and k corresponds with 1, so the vertex is at (5, 1).</span>

PLEASE HELP ME ASAP!! I had trouble with this and it is now over due
erica [24]

Answer:

Shira: x = 8

Samuel: m = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Shira's mistake was that she subtracted 2 from both sides instead of adding to on both sides.

Correct Solving:

2x - 2 = 14

Add 2 to both sides;

2x = 16

Divide both sides by 2;

x = 8

Samuel's mistake was that when he distributed -2 to 8m and 8 he put the wrong sign for -2 * 8.

Correct Solving:

-2(8m + 8) = -16

Distribute;

-16m - 16 = -16

Add 16 to both sides;

-16m = 0

Divide both sides by -16;

m = 0
