In this problem, we want to write equivalent fractions that share a common denominator.

To find the common denominator, we need to find the lowest common multiple of the denominator for each fraction. So, we need to find the LCM (lowest common multiple) for 4, 2, and 9.

One method is to list multiples of each number until you find one that works. My advice is to start with the largest number, as the lists of smaller numbers can get pretty long.

Let's list the first five multiples of 9:

9,18,27,36,45

We see that 9 is not a multiple of 2 or 4.

We see that 18 is a multiple of 2 (2 times 9), but not 4.

As we move through the list, we can check the multiples until it works. In this case, 36 is our common multiple:

\begin{gathered} 2\cdot18=36 \\ 4\cdot9=36 \end{gathered}

Now we want to rewrite each of our fractions using 36 as our denominator.

\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{4}\rightarrow\frac{?}{36} \\  \\ \frac{1\cdot9}{4\cdot9}=\frac{9}{36} \end{gathered}

Next, we'll do 1/2:

\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{2}\rightarrow\frac{?}{36} \\  \\ \frac{1\cdot18}{2\cdot18}=\frac{18}{36} \end{gathered}

Finally, we'll find the last fraction for 7/9:

\begin{gathered} \frac{7}{9}\rightarrow\frac{?}{36} \\  \\ \frac{7\cdot4}{9\cdot4}=\frac{28}{36} \end{gathered}

So now we have all our equivalent fractions for 1/4, 1/2, and 7/9.

\frac{1}{4}=\frac{9}{36}\frac{1}{2}=\frac{18}{36}\frac{7}{9}=\frac{28}{36}

Rewrite the expression with rational exponents as a radical expression by extending the properties of Internet exponents
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

option a

Step-by-step explanation:

y^7/8 / y^1/4

First we will accommodate the fractions

1/4 = 2/8

y^7/8 / y^2/8

Then we will subtract the exponents of the powers since they have the same base and are dividing

7/8 - 2/8 = 5/8

y^5/8

Finally we pass the 8 as radical root

8√y^5

Which could be the function?
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

f(x)=(x-4)^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

we have that

The axis of symmetry shown in the graph is x=4

we know that

The axis of symmetry of a vertical parabola is equal to the x-coordinate of the vertex

so

<em>Verify each case</em>

<em>case a)</em> we have

f(x)=(x+4)^{2}

The vertex is the point (-4,0)

therefore

Cannot be the function

<em>case b)</em> we have

f(x)=x^{2}+4

The vertex is the point (0,4)

The axis of symmetry is x=0

therefore

Cannot be the function

<em>case c)</em> we have

f(x)=(x-4)^{2}

The vertex is the point (4,0)

The axis of symmetry is x=4

therefore

Could be the function

<em>case d)</em> we have

f(x)=x^{2}-4

The vertex is the point (0,-4)

The axis of symmetry is x=0

therefore

Cannot be the function
