When you multiply 2/3 by a fraction less than one,how does the product compare to the factors?

The result will always be less than what you started with. Consider
2/3 * 15/16

the result is 5/8.

2/3 has a decimal equivalent of .6666666

5/8 has a decimal equivalent of 0.625 it is moving smaller. I would offer you a more "mathematical"proof, but I don't think that's what you are asking for.

This is actually a pretty good question.

Solve 3kx + 24 = 9 kx for x.
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3kx + 24 = 9kx

First subtract 3kx to both sides.

24 = 9kx  - 3kx

24 = 6kx

Divide both sides by 6

24/6 = kx

4 = kx

Divide both sides by k.

4/k = x

Please find the general limit of the following function:
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

The general limit exists at <em>x</em> = 9 and is equal to 300.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the general limit of the function:

\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 9}(x^2+2^7+(9.1\times 10))

By definition, a general limit exists at a point if the two one-sided limits exist and are equivalent to each other.

So, let's find each one-sided limit: the left-hand side and the right-hand side.

The left-hand limit is given by:

<h3>\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 9^-}(x^2+2^7+(9.1 \times 10))</h3>

Since the given function is a polynomial, we can use direct substitution. This yields:

=(9)^2+2^7+(9.1\times 10)

Evaluate:

300

Therefore:

\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 9^-}(x^2+2^7+(9.1 \times 10))=300

The right-hand limit is given by:

\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 9^+}(x^2+2^7+(9.1\times 10))

Again, since the function is a polynomial, we can use direct substitution. This yields:

=(9)^2+2^7+(9.1\times 10)

Evaluate:

=300

Therefore:

\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 9^+}(x^2+2^7+(9.1\times 10))=300

Thus, we can see that:

\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 9^-}(x^2+2^7+(9.1\times 10))=\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 9^+}(x^2+2^7+(9.1\times 10))=300

Since the two-sided limits exist and are equivalent, the general limit of the function does exist at <em>x</em> = 9 and is equal to 300.

What is the linear function equation represented by the graph? Graph of a line on a coordinate plane. The horizontal x-axis rang
salantis [7]
The 2-point form of the equation of a line is
.. y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)*(x -x1) +y1
For your points (x1, y1) = (0, 3) and (x2, y2) = (3, 5), this is
.. y = (5 -3)/(3 -0)*(x -0) +3
.. y = (2/3)x +3

Written as a function, it is
.. f(x) = (2/3)x +3
