How to subtract a negative fraction from a positive fraction?

Mathematics

Let's take an example to illustrate this case:

<span>positive fraction = 2/7
</span>
<span>negative fraction = - 3/5

Now we need to subtract  </span><span>- 3/5 from 2/7

Right?

2/7 - (-3/5) = 2/7 + 3/5

here we need to unify the denominators as follows:

the lowest common factor between 7 and 5 is 35
2/7 = 10/35
3/5 = 21/35

Now back to </span><span>2/7 + 3/5:

</span><span><span>2/7 + 3/5 = 10/35 + 21/35 = (10+21)/35 = 31/35

That's it




Hope that helps you</span>

What are the real zeros of the function g(x) = x3 + 2x2 − x − 2?
Nat2105 [25]
Upon a slight rearrangement this problem gets a lot simpler to see.

x^3-x+2x^2-2=0  now factor 1st and 2nd pair of terms...

x(x^2-1)+2(x^2-1)=0

(x+2)(x^2-1)=0  now the second factor is a "difference of square" of the form:

(a^2-b^2) which always factors to (a+b)(a-b), in this case:

(x+2)(x+1)(x-1)=0

So g(x) has three real zero when x={-2, -1, 1}

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs. Not all tiles will be used. Consider the graph of the function f(x)=I
Olin [163]

The matching of each transformed function is as follows;

g(x) = 2f(x) → y-intercept at (0,2)

h(x) = f(x) + 2 → asymptote of y=2

j(x) = f(x + 2) → y-intercept at (0,4)

m(x) = function decreases as x increases

<h3>How to match transformations?</h3>

A function is simply defined as a relationship between the inputs and the outputs. Now, we want to map each transformed function.

From the graph of this question as shown in the attached brainly link, the correct matching of each transformation of function f(x) = In x with a feature of the transformed function are as follows;

g(x) = 2f(x) → y-intercept at (0,2)

h(x) = f(x) + 2 → asymptote of y=2

j(x) = f(x + 2) → y-intercept at (0,4)

m(x) = function decreases as x increases

One question in a survey about what kind of cars people prefer to drive is:
Aneli [31]
<h3>Answer: C) bias</h3>

The question is biased toward mothers, and does not consider women who do not have kids. A biased question leans toward a certain group, or set of groups, of people; at the same time, other groups are left out and not represented. One way to remove the bias is to ask "Would you prefer a minivan or a convertible?".
