9 and 5/12 - 3 and 2/3

1 answer:

5 0

Recall to always convert the mixed fractions to "improper" fractions first,

$\bf \stackrel{mixed}{9\frac{5}{12}}\implies \cfrac{9\cdot 12+5}{12}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{113}{12}}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{mixed}{3\frac{2}{3}}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 3+2}{3}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{11}{3}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{113}{12}-\cfrac{11}{3}\impliedby \textit{clearly our LCD is 12}\implies \cfrac{113-(4)11}{12}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{113-44}{12}\implies \cfrac{69}{12}\implies 5\frac{9}{12}$

Solve the following quadratic equation for all values of x in simplest form. 20+ 2x= 28

n200080 [17]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we need to isolate x.

Start by moving the 20 to the other side by subtracting it from both sides.

2x = 8

Since x is being multiplied by 2, we need to divide both sides by 2 to move it to the other side.

x = 4

The amount c in grams of a 100 gram sample of carbon-14 remaining after t years is represented by the equation c= 100 (0.99988)t

tigry1 [53]

Answer: The amount of carbon-14 remaining after 4 years is 99.95 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we simply have to substitute t=4 in the equation given and solve for c.

c= 100 (0.99988)^t

c =100 (0.99988)^4

c = 100 x 0.999520086

c= 99.95200864 ≅99.95 grams (rounded)

The amount of carbon-14 remaining after 4 years is 99.95 grams.

How do you find the slope of x^2 at x = 5? please hurry

Lorico [155]

The slope of any function is its first derivative.

If f(x)=x^2, then f'(x)= 2x .

At x=5, slope = f'(x) = 2(5) = 10 .

Find the total area the regular pyramid.

Ber [7]

Answer: $14\sqrt{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You must apply the following formula for calculate the total surface area the regular pyramid:

$SA=\frac{pl}{2}+B$

Where p is the perimeter of the base, l is the slant height and B is the area of the base.

2. The perimeter is, where s is the side length:

$p=3s=3*4=12$

3. The faces are isosceles traingles. So, to find the slant height you can divide one base into two equal right triangles and calculate the slant height with Pythagorean Theorem:

$l=\sqrt{4^2-2^2}=2\sqrt{3}$

4. The base is equal to any face, then both have equal areas. As previously you divide one base into two equal righ triangle to find the slant height, you can calcualte the area of one right triangle and multply it by 2 to calculate B:

$B=2*\frac{bh}{2}=2*\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{2}=2\sqrt{3}$

Finally substitute values:

$SA=\frac{12*2\sqrt{3}}{2}+2\sqrt{3}=14\sqrt{3}$
