Xavier, Yessie, and Zorro each choose a different favorite positive fraction. Each fraction is in simplest form. Yessie's fracti

on is the reciprocal of Xavier's. Zorro multiplies his favorite fraction by Xavier's and finds a product of 12/35. Zorro then multiplies his favorite fraction by Yessie's fraction and finds a product of 15/7. What is each person's favorite fraction?

Let Xavier's favourite fraction be a/b, Yessie's favourite fraction = b/a and Zorro's favourite fraction = c/d,

c/d x a/b = 12/35 . . . . . . . . (1)
c/d x b/a = 15/7 . . . . . . . . (2)

(1) x (2) = c/d x a/b x c/d x b/a = 12/35 x 15/7
 c^2 / d^2 = 36/49
c^2 = 36
c = 6
d^2 = 49
d = 7

Xaviers favourite fraction = 12/35 / 6/7 = 2/5
Yessies favourite fraction = 5/2
Zorro favourite fraction = 6/7

Write an equation that represents the line.<br> Use exact numbers.
Greeley [361]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

it is hard to know exactly by eye balling the graph  I can't dissern the y intercept it might be 4.5 but it could be 4.33, but it looks for sure like the x intercept equals 6 but does it

the dots on the line are at (-2, -6) and (2, 3)  so we can find the slope m

in the y = mx + b line equation   b is the y intercept

m = Δy/Δx     =  (y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2)

                     =  (-6 - -3) /  (-2 - 2)

                     =     -3 / -4

                 m = 3/4

       y = 3x/4  +  y intercept     which i can't dissern (read directly from the

                                                  graph, but we believe y = 0   when x is six

       0 = 3(6)/4  + y intercept

       

       -18/4 = 18/4 -18/4  + y intercept

        -9/2 = y intercept

        -4.5 = y intercept

   y = 3x/4 - 9/2          i think exact number means NO FRACTIONS but that is whole number so let me gaggle it  What are exact numbers?  Gaggle indicates exact numbers are integers   example  3 ft in a yard 12 eggs in a dozen

    y = 3x/4 - 9/2               multiple both sides by 4

   4y = 3x  - 36/2

   4y = 3x - 18    <------------------  FINAL ANSWER

What is 5-6x=2+7x step by step?
HACTEHA [7]
The first thing you do is subtract 2 from both sides to move the 2 to the left side
3-6x=7x
now add 6x to both sides to move -6x to the right
3=13x
divide by 13 to eliminate the 13 on the right side

Find f(1/4)<br><br> if f(x)=4x^2-2/3x<br><br>please guys explain it to me I cant understand it ​
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

f(1/4) = 1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 4x^2 - 2/3 x is a function. The name of the function is simply the letter f. It tells you a rule. f(x) is the same as y.

It is the same as having

y = 4x^2 - 2/3 x

For each value of x you are given, you can calculate a corresponding value of y. Instead of calling y, y, we call y "f(x)" which is a way of showing that this relation is a function.

If you were given

y = 4x^2 - 2/3 x and were asked to find the value of y when x = 1/4, what would you do?

You would substitute 1/4 for x in the expression 4x^2 - 2/3 x, and you'd find the value of y.

Being asked to find f(1/4) for function f(x) = 4x^2 - 2/3 x means exactly the same. It means what is the value of the function when x = 1/4? What is the y value corresponding to an x value of 1/4?

Let's calculate it:

f(x) = 4x^2 - 2/3 x

To show we are evaluating the function at an x value of 1/4, we use the notation f(1/4). f(1/4) means find the value of y for function f when x = 1/4. We replace x with 1/4 and do the math.

f(1/4) = 4(1/4)^2 - (2/3)(1/4)

f(1/4) = 4(1/16) - 2/12

f(1/4) = 4/16 - 2/12

f(1/4) = 1/4 - 2/12

f(1/4) = 3/12 - 2/12

f(1/4) = 1/12
