Answer: 4</h3>
===============================================
Work Shown:
f(x) = |x+1|
f(-5) = |-5+1| .... x is replaced with -5
f(-5) = |-4|
f(-5) = 4
This problem is simply asking us to add the weights which are presented as fractions. You can easily get the answer if you input them directly in a calculator. But I think the challenge here is to manually add fractions.
Let's add the two 1/4 lb weights because it is easier for they have a common denominator. Just simply add the numerators.
1/4 + 1/4 = 2/4
Then, add with this the fraction part of 2 1/5.
2/4 + 1/5 = ?
The least common denominator is 4*5 = 20. Then divide 20 with each denominator and multiply to their respective numerator.
2/4 + 1/5 = [(20/4 * 2) + (20/5 *1)]/20 = 14/20
14/20 is simplified to 7/10. Then add the whole number 2. <em>Therefore, the sum of all weights is 2 7/10 pounds.</em>
I believe it's a 25% profit.
950+250= 1200
1500-1200= 300
300/1200= 0.25
0.25 x 100= 25%
Hi!!!! I think the answer is B or D! Have a nice day!!
Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since sqrt(a) and sqrt(b) are in simplest radical form, that means a and b have no perfect square factors. When sqrt(a) and sqrt(b) are multiplied giving c * sqrt(d), the fact that c came out of the root means that there was c^2 inside the product sqrt(ab). This means that a and b have at least one common factor.
ab = c^2d
Example:
Let a = 6 and let b = 10.
sqrt(6) and sqrt(10) are in simplest radical form.
Now we multiply the radicals.
sqrt(a) * sqrt(b) = sqrt(6) * sqrt(10) = sqrt(60) = sqrt(4 * 15) = 2sqrt(15)
We have c = 2 and d = 15.
ab = c^2d
6 * 10 = 2^2 * 15
60 = 60
Our relationship between a, b and c, d works.
