Is a reciprocal of an improper fraction sometimes, always, or never a proper fraction? Explain.

1 answer:

8 0

It is always because if you have an improper fraction, the larger number is always the numerator. To get a reciprocal, you flip the fraction so that the denominator is the numerator, and vice versa. If the numerator is always bigger, and you make it the denominator, it would be proper.

Which of the following is a solution of x2 + 6x = −18? x = 3 − 3i x = −3 + 3i x = −6 + 3i x = 6 − 3i

Marina86 [1]

Step 1 ) Move all terms right side of the equation.

$\displaystyle\ x^{2} + 6x = -18$

$\displaystyle\ x^{2} + 6x + 18 = -18 + 18$

$\displaystyle\ x^{2} +6x + 18 = 0$

Step 2 ) Apply quadratic formula. (Note: There are 2 solutions)

$\displaystyle\ x^{2} +6x + 18 = 0$

$\displaystyle\ x = \frac{-b\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}, \displaystyle\ x = \frac{-b-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$

$\displaystyle\ x = \frac{-6+\sqrt{6^{2}-4 * 18}}{2} , \displaystyle\ x = \frac{-6-\sqrt{6^{2}-4*18}}{2}$

$\displaystyle\ x = \frac{-6+6i}{2}$ ,

$\displaystyle\ x = \frac{-6-6i}{2}$

Step 3 ) Simplify.

$\displaystyle\ x = \frac{-6+6i}{2}$ ,

$\displaystyle\ x = \frac{-6-6i}{2}$

$\displaystyle\ x = -3+ 3i$ ,

$\displaystyle\ x = -3 - 3i$

Since the options only provide one of the answer we found, the answer is...

$\displaystyle\ x = -3 - 3i$

An actor invested some money at 5% simple interest, and $41,000 more than 4 times the amount at 9%. The total annual interest ea

NARA [144]

Answer:

The amount invested at 5%=$77,000
The amount invested at 9%=$349,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount invested at 5% simple interest =$x

He invested $41,000 more than 4 times the amount at 9%.

This amount is: $(4x+41000)

Total Annual Interest Earned = $35,260

Therefore, Time=1 year

Simple Interest $=\frac{Principal X Rate X Time}{100}$

Therefore, his total interest

=Interest from Investment 1 + Interest from Investment 2

$35260=\left(\frac{x*5*1}{100} \right)+\left(\frac{4x+41000*9*1}{100} \right)\\35260=0.05x+(0.36x+3690)\\35260-3690=0.05x+0.36x\\31570=0.41x\\\text{Divide both sides by 0.41}\\x=\$77000$

Therefore:

The amount invested at 5%=$77,000

The amount invested at 9%=$(4*77,000+41000)=$349,000

Will mark as Brainlist

Semmy [17]

The answer :

4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

4x-5y=0

subtract 4x on both the sides

4x-4x-5y = 0-4x

-5y = -4x

divide by -5 on both the sides

-5y/-5 = -4x/-5

y =( 4/5 )x

The distribution of the average amount of sleep per night gotten by college students is roughly bell-shaped with mean 412 minute

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

$P(X$

$P(z$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the scores of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(412,68)$
