Answer as an improper fraction = 16/5
Answer as a mixed number = 3 & 1/5
Answer in decimal form = 3.2
All of those values represent the same thing, but written in a different way.
=============================================================
Explanation:
I'm assuming HM stands for Harmonic Mean in this case.
If so, then we apply the reciprocal operation to each value to get 1/2 and 1/8 (from 2 and 8 respectively).
Add up those fractions:
1/2 + 1/8 = 4/8 + 1/8 = 5/8
Now we'll divide n = 2 over that result. The n = 2 refers to the number of items in the original set.
n divide over (5/8) = 2*(8/5) = 16/5 which is the answer as an improper fraction
-----------
To convert to a mixed number, we can do the following:
16/5 = (15+1)/5
16/5 = 15/5 + 1/5
16/5 = 3 + 1/5
16/5 = 3 & 1/5
Or if you need the answer in decimal form, then using a calculator would get you 16/5 = 3.2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>The correct question is</em></u>
what is the equation for a line passing through (-2,3) and perpendicular to y= -1/2<em>x</em>+1 ?
Remember
If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes are equal to -1)
The slope of the given line is m=-1/2
so
the opposite reciprocal is m=2
<em>Find the equation of the line in point slope form</em>
we have
substitute
<em>Convert to slope intercept form</em>
isolate the variable y
slope intercept form is: y = mx + b
m = slope
b = y-intercept
In the equation y = 1/4x + 8
m = 1/4 = slope
b = 8 = y-intercept
The formula for the area of a triangle is the base times the height, divided by 2. Or in simple forms, bh/2
