Explain two different ways to simplify 6/12

Mathematics
2 answers:
Arisa [49]3 years ago

Answer:

The value is 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

we have to find the two different ways to simplify \frac{6}{12}

First way: By prime factorization

Factors of 6 and 12 are

6=2\times 3

12=2\times 3\times 2

Now, cancel the common factors, we get

\frac{6}{12}={1}{2}=0.5

Second way: Take GCD

GCD({6:12})=2\times 3=6

Divide both numerator and denominator by GCD, we get

\frac{6}{12}=\frac{\frac{6}{6}}{\frac{12}{6}}=\frac{1}{2}=0.5

You can simplify it as...
3/6: Because that's 6/2 and 12/2, so the numerator and denominator recieve the same operations
2/4: Because it's 6/3 which = 2, and 12/4 which = 4
1/2: Because it's 6/6=1 and 12/6=2

I hope this helped! If you have any other questions, just ask, and I hope you have a great day! :)

Why must one leg of a triangle that the Pythagorean triple represents need an even-numbered length?
pashok25 [27]

Most of the square numbers are even.so if we need to find root over we need an even number to convert it to perfect square.

See the example below

  • P=3
  • B=4
  • H=5

\\ \ast\bull\rm\longmapsto H^2=P^2+B^2

\\ \ast\bull\rm\longmapsto H^2=3^2+4^2

\\ \ast\bull\rm\longmapsto H^2=9+16

\\ \ast\bull\rm\longmapsto H^2=25

\\ \ast\bull\rm\longmapsto H=\sqrt{25}

\\ \ast\bull\rm\longmapsto H=5

Some other triplets are

  • (6,8,10)
  • (5,12,13)
  • (8,15,17)

Does (-1, 2), (1, 1),( 1 -1), (2,1), (4,2) represent y as a function
Paha777 [63]

No. A function maps one input to exactly one output. The given relation maps 1 to both 1 and -1, as indicated by the pairs (1, 1) and (1, -1).

Please assist me with the domain and range of graphs​
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:  see below

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Domain represents the x-values from the smallest (furthest left) to the biggest (furthest right).

Range represents the y-values from the lowest (furthest down) to the highest (furthest up).

Interval notation: If a value is included <em>(closed dot)</em>, use a bracket [  ]

                      If a value is NOT included <em>(open dot)</em>, use a parenthesis (  )

                     Note that ± ∞ is never included.

1. Domain: smallest x-value is -4 (included). biggest x-value is 3 (included)

  Range: lowest y-value is 2 (included). highest y-value is 5 (included)

                 D: x = [-4, 3]        R: y = [2, 5]

2. Domain: smallest x-value is -∞ (←). biggest x-value is 2 (included)

  Range: lowest y-value is 2 (included). highest y-value is ∞ (↑)

                 D: x = (-∞, 2]        R: y = [2, ∞)

3. Domain: smallest x-value is -∞ (←). biggest x-value is ∞ (→)

  Range: lowest y-value is -∞ (↓). highest y-value is ∞ (↑)

                 D: x = (-∞, ∞)        R: y = (-∞, ∞)

4. Domain: smallest x-value is -∞ (←). biggest x-value is ∞ (→)

  Range: lowest y-value is -∞ (↓). highest y-value is 4 (included)

                 D: x = (-∞, ∞)        R: y = (-∞, 4]

5. Domain: smallest x-value is -∞ (←). biggest x-value is ∞ (→)

  Range: lowest y-value is 3 (included). highest y-value is ∞ (↑)

                 D: x = (-∞, ∞)        R: y = [3, ∞)

6. Domain: smallest x-value is -2 (included). biggest x-value is ∞ (→)

  Range: lowest y-value is -3 (included). highest y-value is ∞ (↑)

                 D: x = [-2, ∞)        R: y = [-3, ∞)

A team is selling discount cards as a fundraiser. The table shows the number of cards sold and the remaining amount of money nee
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer: negative.


Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the slope of the line \frac{\text{change in y}}{\text{change in x}}

Therefore, the slope for the given data=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

\Rightarrow\ Slope=\frac{795-875}{20-10}\\=\frac{-80}{10}\\=-8...,\text{which is negative.}

Hence, the word which describes the slope of the line representing the data in the table = negative.
