Answer:
2.5 or 2 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
divide 15 by 3 and you'll get 5. multiply 1/2 by 5 and you get 2.5
See explanation below.
Explanation:
The 'difference between roots and factors of an equation' is not a straightforward question. Let's define both to establish the link between the two..
Assume we have some function of a single variable
x
;
we'll call this
f
(
x
)
Then we can form an equation:
f
(
x
)
=
0
Then the "roots" of this equation are all the values of
x
that satisfy that equation. Remember that these values may be real and/or imaginary.
Now, up to this point we have not assumed anything about
f
x
)
. To consider factors, we now need to assume that
f
(
x
)
=
g
(
x
)
⋅
h
(
x
)
.
That is that
f
(
x
)
factorises into some functions
g
(
x
)
×
h
(
x
)
If we recall our equation:
f
(
x
)
=
0
Then we can now say that either
g
(
x
)
=
0
or
h
(
x
)
=
0
.. and thus show the link between the roots and factors of an equation.
[NB: A simple example of these general principles would be where
f
(
x
)
is a quadratic function that factorises into two linear factors.
1 foot = 12 inches
(1 foot)³ = (12 inches)³
12³ = 1,728 in³
To change 10 cubic feet into cubic inches
10 ft³ x 1728 in³/ft³ = 17,280 in³
So the answer will be:
C. Multiply by 1,728
Answer:
5/18
Step-by-step explanation:
Parentheses next to each other mean to multiply. So, this problem means you need to multiply -4/9 and -5/8. To multiply fractions, you just have to multiply across. To make it easier to understand what I mean...
<u>-4 </u>x <u>-5</u> = <u>20</u> (when you multiply two negatives, it makes a positive)
9 x 8 = 72
20/72 simplifies to 5/18.
Hope this helps!! Have a wonderful day C:
Answer:
16/15
Step-by-step explanation:
The LCM of 5 and 3 is 15
4/5 + 1/3 = 12 / 15 + 4 / 15 = 16 / 15
