Multiplying is the opposite of dividing, so that's why you multiply it by the reciprocal.
1. 1/4 ÷ 3/8 is equivalent to 1/4 × 8/3
2. 1/3 × 8/3 = ?
3. 1 × 8 = 8
4. 3 × 3 = 9

Choose whether it's always, sometimes, never 
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer: An integer added to an integer is an integer, this statement is always true. A polynomial subtracted from a polynomial is a polynomial, this statement is always true. A polynomial divided by a polynomial is a polynomial, this statement is sometimes true. A polynomial multiplied by a polynomial is a polynomial, this statement is always true.

Explanation:

1)

The closure property of integer states that the addition, subtraction and multiplication is integers is always an integer.

If a\in Z\text{ and }b\in Z, then a+b\in Z.

Therefore, an integer added to an integer is an integer, this statement is always true.

2)

A polynomial is in the form of,

p(x)=a_nx^n+a_{n-1}x^{x-1}+...+a_1x+a_0

Where a_n,a_{n-1},...,a_1,a_0 are constant coefficient.

When we subtract the two polynomial then the resultant is also a polynomial form.

Therefore, a polynomial subtracted from a polynomial is a polynomial, this statement is always true.

3)

If a polynomial divided by a polynomial  then it may or may not be a polynomial.

If the degree of numerator polynomial is higher than the degree of denominator polynomial then it may be a polynomial.

For example:

f(x)=x^2-2x+5x-10 \text{ and } g(x)=x-2

Then \frac{f(x)}{g(x)}=x^2+5, which a polynomial.

If the degree of numerator polynomial is less than the degree of denominator polynomial then it is a rational function.

For example:

f(x)=x^2-2x+5x-10 \text{ and } g(x)=x-2

Then \frac{g(x)}{f(x)}=\frac{1}{x^2+5}, which a not a polynomial.

Therefore, a polynomial divided by a polynomial is a polynomial, this statement is sometimes true.

4)

As we know a polynomial is in the form of,

p(x)=a_nx^n+a_{n-1}x^{x-1}+...+a_1x+a_0

Where a_n,a_{n-1},...,a_1,a_0 are constant coefficient.

When we multiply the two polynomial, the degree of the resultand function is addition of degree of both polyminals and the resultant is also a polynomial form.

Therefore, a polynomial subtracted from a polynomial is a polynomial, this statement is always true.

The diameters of a circle is 7m. Find its area to the nearest tenth?? Help please
Lady bird [3.3K]

Area =\pi r^{2}

The diameter is double the length of the radius

7 ÷ 2 = 3.5

3.5 × 3.5 = 12.25

12.25\pi = 38.4845100064751

38.4845100064751 rounded to the nearest tenth is 38.5

20.   The sum of two consecutive even integers is 158. Find the least of the two integers. 
Mumz [18]

Answer:

78

Step-by-step explanation:

The tricky part of this is figuring out how to assign the unknowns.  We are told that we are working with two consecutive even integers.  Consecutive means "next to" or "in order" and sum means to add.  If we use 2 and 4 as examples of our 2 consecutive even integers and assign x to 2, then in order to get from 2 to 4 we have to add 2.  So the lesser of the 2 integers is x, and the next one in order will be x + 2.  (2 and 4 are just used as examples; they mean nothing to the solving of this particular problem.  You could pick any 2 even consecutive integers and find the same rule applies.  All we are doing here with the example numbers is finding a rule for our integers.)  Now we have the 2 expressions for the integers, we will add them together and set the sum equal to 158:

x + (x + 2) = 158

The parenthesis are unnecessary since we are adding, so when we combine like terms we get

2x + 2 = 158 and

2x = 156 and

x = 78

That means that the lesser of the 2 integers in 78, and the next one in order would be 80, and 78 + 80 = 158

Find the partial derivatives of the function w=4r2+6s2+
lyudmila [28]
I'm taking the liberty of editing your function as follows:  <span>w=4r^2+6s^2, where I use " ^ " to indicate exponentiation.

The partial of w with respect to r is 8r.  That with respect to s is 12s.</span>
