How do I divide 2 fractions

Mathematics
1 answer:
Afina-wow [57]3 years ago

Step 1. TUrn the second fraction upside down (it becomes a reciprocal)
5/2 becomes 2/5

Step 2. Multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal: (Multiply tops.)
2/5 1/4 = 1x6/ 2x1= 6/3 (multiply bottom)

Step 3. Simplify the fraction (if needed.)

6/3= 2

Example: dividing by 5/2 is the same as multiplying by 2/5 so instead of dividing by a fraction. It's easier to turn that fraction upside down, then multiply.

Show that 5x^2 + 2x - 3 < 0 can be written in the form | x + 1/5 | < 4/5
Sliva [168]

Step-by-step explanation:

First let solve the inequality

5 {x}^{2}  + 2x - 3 < 0

Factor by grouping

5 {x}^{2}  + 5x - 3x - 3 < 0

5x(x + 1) - 3(x + 1)

So the factor are

(5x - 3)(x + 1)

So the factor are

x =  \frac{3}{5}

and

x =  - 1

Solutions to a quadratic can be represented by a absolute value equation because remeber quadratics

creates 2 roots and/or double roots.

The inequality

|x - b|   <  c

works as

b is the midpoint between 2 roots. And c is the

|x + b|  = c

We know that the midpoint between both roots is-1/5.

so

|x - ( -  \frac{1}{5} )|  < c

|x +  \frac{1}{5} |  < c

Let use roots 3/5

| \frac{3}{5}  +  \frac{1}{5} |  =  \frac{4}{5}

-1 works as well.

| - 1 +  \frac{1}{5} |  =   |   -   \frac{4}{5} |  =  \frac{4}{5}

So the absolute value equation is

|x +  \frac{1}{5} |  <  \frac{4}{5}
