1 1/2 can be rewritten as 3/2
Difference means subtraction

So we do:
3/2-1/4
To get the same denominator, we can multiply the first fraction by 2
6/4-1/4

Then we subtract the numerators and leave the denominator
So the final answer is 5/4 of 1 1/4

Hope this helps

Answer:

(A) The rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the current year is $7.

(B) The price of a bushel of corn in the current year is $2 more than the price of a bushel of corn in the previous year.

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph for the prices of different numbers of bushels of corn at a store in the current year is shown below.

Part A:

The rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the current year based upon the number of bushels is known as the slope of the line.

The formula to compute the slope is:

\text{Slope}=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

Consider the ordered pairs: (4, 28) and (10, 70)

Compute the slope of the line as follows:

\text{Slope}=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

         =\frac{70-28}{10-4}\\\\=\frac{42}{6}\\\\=7

Thus, the rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the current year is $7.

Part B:

The data for the price of bushels in the previous year is as follows:

Number of Bushels Price

              2                   10

              4                  20

              6                  30

              8                  40

Compute the  rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the previous year based upon the number of bushels as follows:

Consider the ordered pairs: (2, 10) and (6, 30)

\text{Slope}=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

         =\frac{30-10}{6-2}\\\\=\frac{20}{4}\\\\=5

The  rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the previous year is $5.

Thus, the price of a bushel of corn in the current year is $2 more than the price of a bushel of corn in the previous year.

F(x)=(x+4)(x-2)(x+4)(x+4)<br><br> What is the multiple zero? Multiplicity is?
kari74 [83]
f(x)=(x+4)(x-2)(x+4)(x+4)\\f(x)=(x+4)^3(x-2)=0\\(x+4)^3=0~|~(x-2)=0\\(x+4)(x+4)(x+4)=0~|~x=2\\x=-4,2

The multiple zero is x = -4.

The multiplicity is 2 because there are two values of x.

Help! this is in algebra 1
Scrat [10]

Answer: I have the pictures attached


Step-by-step explanation:

In order to graph this, we have to get it into this equation: y = mx + b, where m = slope and b = y intercept.

y = 3/2x - 4 is already in this form.

2y + 4 = 2 + 3x is not, so we have to isolate y

2y + 4 - 4 = 2 + 3x - 4

2y = -2 + 3x

2y/2 = -2/2 + 3x/2

y = -1 + 3/2x

y = 3/2x - 1

Okay, now graph it knowing your y intercepts and your slopes.

Help please!!!! Asap!! math whizzes!!!
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

5xy^3 \sqrt{3x}

Step-by-step explanation:

The radical \sqrt{75x^3y^6} can be simplified by breaking it down into factors and removing the perfect squares from inside the radical.

\sqrt{75x^3y^6} =\sqrt{3*25*x^2*x*y^6} =5xy^3 \sqrt{3x}

25 is a perfect square and is 5 outside the radical.

x^2 is a perfect square and is x outside the radical.

y^6 is a perfect square and is y^3 outside the radical.
