Et the numerator be x, so the denominator is x + 4. So we have: 

<span>x/(x + 4) = 9/15 (cross multiply) </span>
<span>15x = 9(x + 4) </span>
<span>15x = 9x + 36 </span>
<span>15x </span>- 9x<span> = 9x - </span>9x<span> + 36 </span>
<span>6x = 36 </span>
6x/6<span> = 36</span>/6
x = 6
x + 4<span> = 6 + 4 = </span>10

<span>Sine the numerator is 6 and the denominator is 10, then the fraction is 6/10, which in the simplest form is equal to 3/5. </span>

<span>Since 9/15 in the simplest form is also equal to 3/5, then 6/10 is equivalent to 9/15. </span>

<span>Thus, 6/10 is the required fraction. hope  i helped</span>

\frac{x}{x + 4} = \frac{9}{15}
\frac{x}{x + 4} = \frac{3}{5}
5x = 3(x + 4)
5x = 3(x) + 3(4)
5x = 3x + 12
5x - 3x = 3x - 3x + 12
\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{12}{2}
x = 6

Find the angle θ between u = &lt;7, –2&gt; and v = &lt;–1, 2&gt;.
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

The angle between two vectors is:

CosФ = u - v / Magnitude(u) x magnitude(v)

Magnitude of u = SQRT(7^2 + -2^2) = SQRT(49 +4) = SQRT(53)

Magnitude of v = SQRT(-1^2 +2^2) = SQRT(1 +4) = SQRT(5)

u x v = (7 x -1) + (-2 x 2) = -7 + -4 = -11

cosФ = -11 / sqrt(53) x sqrt(5)

cosФ = -11sqrt265) / 265

Ф =cos^-1(-11sqrt265) / 265)

Ф=132.51 degrees.

Approximate f by a Taylor polynomial with degree n at the number a. Step 1 The Taylor polynomial with degree n = 3 is T3(x) = f(
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

If you center the series at x=1

T_3(x) = e^2 + 4e^2 (x-1)+10(x-1)^2 + \frac{56}{3} e^2(x-1)^3 + R(x)

Where R(x) is the error.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given we know that

f(x) = e^{2x^2}

f'(x) = 4x e^{2x^2}   (This comes from the chain rule )

f^{(2)}(x) = 4e^{2x^2} (4x^2+1)   (This comes from the chain rule and the product rule)

f^{(3)}(x) = 16xe^{2x^2}(4x^2 + 3)  (This comes from the chain rule and the product rule)

If you center the series at x=1  then

T_3(x) = e^2 + 4e^2 (x-1)+10(x-1)^2 + \frac{56}{3} e^2(x-1)^3 + R(x)

Where R(x) is the error.

4. Six workers are hired to weed a field by
user100 [1]

Answer:

594 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle is length times width. We can find the area of each workers plot by multiplying 9 and 11 to get 99 sq feet. There is six workers, and therefore six plots of land, so we'd take our 99 sq feet and count that six times to get 594 square feet.
