Multiply the numerators and denominators separately.

Multiply the numerators together and write it as the new numerator.
Multiply the denominators together and write it as the new denominator.
Then you may need to reduce the fraction.

Rule:

\dfrac{a}{b} \times  \dfrac{c}{d} =  \dfrac{ac}{bd}

Example:

\dfrac{4}{5} \times  \dfrac{7}{8} =  \dfrac{4 \times 7}{5 \times 8} =  \dfrac{28}{40}

Now we reduce the fraction.

\dfrac{28}{40} =  \dfrac{7 \times 4}{10 \times 4} =  \dfrac{7}{10}

What is the solution set of the system of equations x+y=5 and y=x^2-25
riadik2000 [5.3K]
The solution set is basically when are they equal. to figure this out we must set them equal. So so we will move some stuff around

x+y=5
y=5-x

y=x^2-25

we know that when they are equal their x and y values are equal. So so we know that their y values are the same so we can say:

y=y

this does not direarly help but looking above we know what both of the y's equal. so:

5-x = x^2-25

we want to set this equal to zero

0 = x^2 +x - 30

now we factor

0 = (x + 6) * (x - 5)

the only way to multiply 2 things together and get zero is for one of those things to equal 0. So so we know that to be zero one of the answers in parenthesis has to equal 0. so:

0 = (x + 6 =0) * (x - 5=0)

So now we solve for both parenthesis

x+6=0
x=-6

x-5=0
x=5

x=-6,5

In a candy mix there are 44 green bars for every 33 red bars. How many red bars are there if there are 200200 green bars?
tiny-mole [99]
The ratio of green bars to red bars is 44:33 which simplified is 4:3.

We can set up an equation to find number of red bars:

Since the ratio stays the same, # of green bars / # of red bars = 4/3,

so 200200/x = 4/3 where x = # of red bars.

Now solve for x:

200200/x = 4/3 
(cross multiply)   
200200*3 = 4*x
600600 = 4x
600600/4 = x
x = 150150

There 150150 red bars if there are 200200 green bars.

Hope this answers your question!

The value of a vintage car over time is represented by the function V(t)=24,300(1.37)t , where t is the time in years. What is t
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

For the function V(t)=24300(1.37)t, the rate of increase is 37%.  

Step-by-step explanation:

The function represents the value (V) of the car over time (t).  This type of function is exponential growth, which means for each year, the value of the vintage car will increase by a rate of 37%.  Exponential growth functions are represented by the equation f(x)=ab^x, where 'a'=initial value, 'b'=the rate and 'x' represents time.  In this case, our initial value of the car is $24,300 and the rate is 1.37.  A rate of 1.37 indicates that the car will retain its initial value (1) as well as increase be an additional 37 percent (.37) over time.
