Answer:

9/56

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{1}{2}  +  \frac{2 }{7}  -  \frac{5}{8 }  =  \frac{9}{56}

First, let’s get our names straight. We’re dealing with three different size pieces: halves, sevenths, and eighths. The least common denominator (size) between these three is 7 • 8 = 56, and converting our fractions over to this new name gets us

1/2 = 28/56
2/7 = 14/56
5/8 = 35/56

We start with 28/56, and adding 16/56 gets us 44/56. Then, we eat 35/56 of the scoops, giving us 44/56 - 35/56 = 9/56 of our original scoops by the end.

Solve the proportion for x. When applicable, simplify all radicals and show all of your
Sedaia [141]

The simplified radical for the given equation is 2√3.

The given equation is \frac{3}{x} =\frac{x}{4}.

<h3>What are radicals?</h3>

Radical of any number is the same as the root of the number. The root can be a square root, cube root, or in general, it is nth root. Thus, any expression or number that uses a root is known as a radical.

To compute for the values of x given the proportion, we can cross-multiply both sides of the equation as follows:

\frac{3}{x} =\frac{x}{4}

⇒x×x=3×4

⇒x²=12

⇒x=±√12

From this, we can see that the solutions for the equation are the positive and negative roots of 12.

By simplifying the radical, we get √12 = √(2² x 3) = 2√3

Therefore, the simplified radical for the given equation is 2√3.

Given the following equation x2 + 4x = 21 find the solutions. (Show All Work)
NeTakaya

Step-by-step explanation:

15a)

x^2+4x=21               Subtract both sides by 21

x^2+4x-21 =0

15b)

7 and -3 multiply to -21 and add to 4

The factors are (x+7)(x-3)

15c)

x+7 =0

x=-7  

x-3=0

x=3

Suppose you are offered just one slice from a round pizza (in other words, a sector of a circle). The slice must have a perimete
schepotkina [342]
The answer is diameter: 32 in, area: 64 in²

The perimeter of a sector of a circle is:
P = 2r + l
l = r<span>θ
P = 2r + r</span>θ<span>

P = 32 in
32 = 2r + r</span><span>θ
</span>32 - 2r = r<span>θ
</span>θ = (32 - 2r)/r
θ = (2*16 - 2*r)/r
θ = 2(16 - r)/r<span>

Area of the sector of the circle is:
A = r</span>²/2 * θ
A = r²/2 * 2(16 - r)/r
A = r² * (16 - r)/r
A = r(16 - r)
A = 16r - r²

For the maximum area:
A' = 16 - 2r
A' = 0
16 - 2r = 0
16 = 2r
r = 8 in

The diameter (D) of the circle is twice of the radius:
D = 2r = 2 * 8 = 16 in

The maximum area is:
A = 16r - r²
r = 8 in
A = 16 * 8 - 8²
A = 128 - 64
A = 64 in²
