It depends what your trying to get close to. If your trying to get close to a number that is easier to work with 1 4/8 is good because its the same as 11/2 but the closest whole number is 1.

50% of all the cakes jenny baked were party cakes, 1/5 were fruit cakes and the remainder were sponge cakes. What percentage of
anygoal [31]
So basically you want to find the total percentage of cakes that weren't sponge cakes first.

You already have the 50% of party cakes. For the 1/5 percent of fruit cakes, you can multiply it by 20/20, to get 20/100, and then just take the 20 to get 20% that were fruit cakes.

Now you can just add the percentages together.

50% + 20% = 70%

So now you know 70% weren't sponge cakes, out of 100%.

So here you can just subtract 70% from 100% to figure out the remaining part of 100%, which must be sponge cakes.

100% - 70% = 30%

So 30% of the cakes were sponge cakes.

Find the values of A &amp; B so that x^4+x^3+ax+b is divisible by x^2+1
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

a = 1 b = -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the quotient when you divide x^4+x^3+ax+b  by x^2 + 1 is

x^2 + ax + b then expanding we have:

(x^2 + 1)(x^2 + ax + b)

= x^4 + ax^3 + bx^2 + x^2 + ax + b

= x^4 + ax^3 + (b + 1)x^2 + ax + b Comparing this with the original expression:

  x^4 +  x^3  + 0 x^2       + ax + b  Comparing coefficients:

a = 1 and b+ 1 = 0 so b = -1.

4.Is it sometimes, always, or never true that, if A and B both have dimensions n x n , AB=BA ? Explain.
REY [17]

Answer: Is true sometimes.

Step-by-step explanation:

I guess that here we have two matrices, A and B, that are nxn.

We can see that if those matrices can conmutate, then we can try it with some simple matrices.

A = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0\\0&-1\end{array}\right] . B =  \left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&0\\1&1\end{array}\right]

Here, we would have that:

AB =  \left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&0\\-1&-1\end{array}\right]

BA =  \left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&0\\1&-1\end{array}\right]

You can see that AB and BA are different, then the statement is not always true.

But it is true sometimes, if A or B are the identiti, then I*A = A*I, in this case would be true.

It is also true if A and B are diagonal matrices, let's prove it:

A =  \left[\begin{array}{ccc}a&0\\0&b\end{array}\right] , B =  \left[\begin{array}{ccc}c&0\\0&d\end{array}\right]

AB =  \left[\begin{array}{ccc}ac&0\\0&bd\end{array}\right] = BA

Is 3.4 a rational or irrational number? Please explain why, thanks.
Nady [450]
Rational, 3.4 can be written as a fraction and is noncontinuous
"An irrational number <span>can be written as a decimal, but not as a fraction. An </span>irrational number<span> has endless non-repeating digits to the right of the decimal point."</span>
