When you divide a fraction by a fraction, you're really just multiplying by a reciprocal. A reciprocal is the fraction flipped around.
So, 1/8 <span>÷ 1/4 is the same thing as 1/8 x 4/1
Now, you just multiply. 1 times 4 is 4. 8 times 1 is 8.
1/8 x 4/1=4/8
4/8 simplified is 1/2
So that is how 1/8</span><span>÷1/4=1/2</span>

Find the solutions to the equation below.<br> Check all that apply.<br> 4x2 + 4x + 1 = 0

Verizon [17]

Answer:

The solution for the given polynomial $4x^2 + 4x+ 1 = 0$ is $x = (\frac{-1}{2})$

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given quadratic equation is : $4x^2 + 4x+ 1 = 0$

Now, here solving the given equation by SPLITTING THE MIDDLE TERM:

$4x^2 + 4x+ 1 = 0 = 4x^2 + 2x+ 2x + 1 = 0\\\implies 2x( 2x + 1) + 1(2x + 1) = 0\\\implies (2x +1)(2x +1) = 0\\$

⇒ either (2x+1) = 0, or ( 2x + 1) = 0

⇒ x = -1/2 or x = -1/2

Here, in both the cases, the value of x is equal i.e x = -1/2

So, the given function has TWO IDENTICAL ROOTS.

Hence the solution for the given polynomial $4x^2 + 4x+ 1 = 0$ is $x = (\frac{-1}{2})$

53-224-9-2-2<br> What is the Degree of the polynomial

Bogdan [553]

It's not clear what polynomial you posted, but let's say you had the polynomial

5x^3+7x^2-9x+10

This is a cubic polynomial as the largest exponent is 3. The degree is also 3. The degree of the polynomial is equal to the largest exponent.
