<span>We can either calculate each fraction and compare the results, or bring all of the fractions to a common denominator by finding the smallest common multiple for the fractions' denominators (3, 10, 8, 2), which is 3 * 2^3 * 5 = 120. Thus we must amplify each fraction so that its denominator becomes 120. 2/3 becomes 40/120, 5/10 becomes 60/120, 7/8 becomes 105/120 and 1/2 becomes 60/120. We can clearly see now that the largest of these fraction is the third (105/120). So the answer is C. Sarah.</span>

∆ABC has vertices A(–2, 0), B(0, 8), and C(4, 2)

Natali [406]

Answer:

Part 1) The equation of the perpendicular bisector side AB is $y=-\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{15}{4}$

Part 2) The equation of the perpendicular bisector side BC is $y=\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{11}{3}$

Part 3) The equation of the perpendicular bisector side AC is $y=-3x+4$

Part 4) The coordinates of the point P(0.091,3.727)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) Find the equation of the perpendicular bisector side AB

we have

A(–2, 0), B(0, 8)

<em>step 1</em>

Find the slope AB

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

substitute the values

$m=\frac{8-0}{0+2}$

$m=4$

<em>step 2</em>

Find the slope of the perpendicular line to side AB

Remember that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is equal to -1)

therefore

The slope is equal to

$m=-\frac{1}{4}$

<em>step 3</em>

Find the midpoint AB

The formula to calculate the midpoint between two points is equal to

$M(\frac{x1+x2}{2},\frac{y1+y2}{2})$

substitute the values

$M(\frac{-2+0}{2},\frac{0+8}{2})$

$M(-1,4)$

<em>step 4</em>

Find the equation of the perpendicular bisectors of AB

the slope is $m=-\frac{1}{4}$

passes through the point $(-1,4)$

The equation in slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

substitute

$4=(-\frac{1}{4})(-1)+b$

solve for b

$b=4-\frac{1}{4}$

$b=\frac{15}{4}$

so

$y=-\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{15}{4}$

Part 2) Find the equation of the perpendicular bisector side BC

we have

B(0, 8) and C(4, 2)

<em>step 1</em>

Find the slope BC

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

substitute the values

$m=\frac{2-8}{4-0}$

$m=-\frac{3}{2}$

<em>step 2</em>

Find the slope of the perpendicular line to side BC

Remember that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is equal to -1)

therefore

The slope is equal to

$m=\frac{2}{3}$

<em>step 3</em>

Find the midpoint BC

The formula to calculate the midpoint between two points is equal to

$M(\frac{x1+x2}{2},\frac{y1+y2}{2})$

substitute the values

$M(\frac{0+4}{2},\frac{8+2}{2})$

$M(2,5)$

<em>step 4</em>

Find the equation of the perpendicular bisectors of BC

the slope is $m=\frac{2}{3}$

passes through the point $(2,5)$

The equation in slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

substitute

$5=(\frac{2}{3})(2)+b$

solve for b

$b=5-\frac{4}{3}$

$b=\frac{11}{3}$

so

$y=\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{11}{3}$

Part 3) Find the equation of the perpendicular bisector side AC

we have

A(–2, 0) and C(4, 2)

<em>step 1</em>

Find the slope AC

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

substitute the values

$m=\frac{2-0}{4+2}$

$m=\frac{1}{3}$

<em>step 2</em>

Find the slope of the perpendicular line to side AC

Remember that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is equal to -1)

therefore

The slope is equal to

$m=-3$

<em>step 3</em>

Find the midpoint AC

The formula to calculate the midpoint between two points is equal to

$M(\frac{x1+x2}{2},\frac{y1+y2}{2})$

substitute the values

$M(\frac{-2+4}{2},\frac{0+2}{2})$

$M(1,1)$

<em>step 4</em>

Find the equation of the perpendicular bisectors of AC

the slope is $m=-3$

passes through the point $(1,1)$

The equation in slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

substitute

$1=(-3)(1)+b$

solve for b

$b=1+3$

$b=4$

so

$y=-3x+4$

Part 4) Find the coordinates of the point of concurrency of the perpendicular bisectors (P)

we know that

The point of concurrency of the perpendicular bisectors is called the circumcenter.

Solve by graphing

using a graphing tool

the point of concurrency of the perpendicular bisectors is P(0.091,3.727)

Which graph best represents the download speed of a large file

stellarik [79]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is incomplete. However, there are mainly four types of graphical representations in mathematics; line graph, bar graph (and histogram), pie chart and cartesian graph. The most suitable representation for fluctuating data sets of the same variables on each of the y and x-axis is the line graph. Since download speed will fluctuate during the course of a download, the correct type of graph to be used here will be the line graph. And the exact type of line graph that will be used here is a simple line graph. A simple line graph is a type of line graph in which one line is drawn on the graph. A simple line graph is usually used to represent two variables (in this case data downloaded per time).

What is the length of the diagonal of the rectangle?

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

21.25

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve

We have the two legs and are looking for the hypotenuse

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

17^2 +12.75 ^2 = c^2 where c is the diagonal

289 +162.5625 = c^2

451.5625 = c^2

Take the square root

sqrt(451.5625) = sqrt(c^2)

21.25 =c
