For numbers 14a-14d , tell which expressions require you to rename mixed numbers before you can subtract. Find each difference.

write each expression and the difference in the correct box.
14a 5 2/5 - 2 1/4
14b 5-2 7/8
14c 7 2/3 - 6 1/8
14d 9 1/6 - 5 2/3

Answer:

14b and 14d require renaming mixed numbers; 14a) 3 3/20; 14b) 2 1/8; 14c) 1 13/24; 14d) 3 3/6 = 3 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

14a) First we find the least common denominator (LCD).  The first thing that both 5 and 4 will divide into is 20; this is our LCD.

It takes 4 5's to make 20; multiplying the numerator by 4, we have 5 8/20.  It takes 5 4's to make 20; multiplying the numerator by 5, we have 2 5/20.  Subtracting these,

5 8/20 - 2 5/20 = 3 3/20

14b) We must write the whole number 5 as a mixed number with a denominator of 8; 5 = 4 8/8.  This gives us

4 8/8 - 2 7/8 = 2 1/8

14c) The LCD of 3 and 8 is 24.  It takes 8 3's to make 24; multiplying the numerator by 8, we have 7 16/24.  It takes 3 8's to make 24; multiplying the numerator by 3, we have 6 3/24.  Subtracting we have

7 16/24 - 6 3/24 = 1 13/24.

14d) The LCD of 6 and 3 is 6.  Since the first mixed number has a denominator of 6, we leave it:  9 1/6.  It takes 2 3's to make 6; multiplying the numerator by 2, we have 5 4/6.  Subtracting we would have

9 1/6 - 5 4/6

We are subtracting a larger fraction from a smaller one.  This means we borrow a whole from the whole number, making it 8; this makes the fraction (6+1)/6 = 7/6.  This gives us

8 7/6 - 5 4/6 = 3 3/6 = 3 1/2

OK, so turn 5 and  2/5ths into a fraction greater than one which would be 27/5ths. Then take the 27/5ths and find the least common denominator, which should be 20. Multiply 27/5ths by 4 and you should have 108/20 and turn the 2 and 1/4 into a 20, so then turn that into a number greater than one which you should get 9/4ths, do the same thing as you did before only this time multiple by 5. You should now get, 45/20ths, now subtract 108/20ths  and 45/20ths. Now, after that, you should have your answer which is 63/20 or 3 and 3/20ths.

Law of cosines :

The law of cosines establishes:

c ^ 2 = a ^ 2 + b ^ 2 - 2*a*b*cosC.

general guidelines:

The law of cosines is used to find the missing parts of an oblique triangle (not rectangle) when either the two-sided measurements and the included angle measure are known (SAS) or the lengths of the three sides (SSS) are known.


Law of the sines:


In ΔABC is an oblique triangle with sides a, b, and c, then:

\frac{a}{sinA} =\frac{b}{sinB} =\frac{c}{sinC}

The law of the sines is the relation between the sides and angles of triangles not rectangles (obliques). It simply states that the ratio of the length of one side of a triangle to the sine of the angle opposite to that side is equal for all sides and angles in a given triangle.

General guidelines:

To use the law of the sines you need to know either two angles and one side of the triangle (AAS or ASA) or two sides and an opposite angle of one of them (SSA).


The ambiguous case :


If two sides and an angle opposite one of them is given, three possibilities may occur.


(1) The triangle does not exist.


(2) Two different triangles exist.


(3) Exactly a triangle exists.


If we are given two sides and an included angle of a triangle or if we are given 3 sides of a triangle, we can not use the law of the sines because we can not establish any proportion where sufficient information is known. In these two cases we must use the law of cosines

How can you use a point on the graph of f –1(x) = 9x to determine a point on the graph of f(x) = log9x?
Anastasy [175]

Whenever you can invert a function, you have that the graphs of f(x) and its inverse f^{-1}(x) are reflected with respect to the line y=x

So, given any point on the graph of f^{-1}(x), you can simply swap its coordinates to get the correspondent point on the original function f(x)

As an example, all exponential functions pass through the point (0,1), while all the logarithmic functions pass through the point (1,0)
