What is the process for converting a fraction to a decimal?

Well to convert a fraction to a decimal you need to go back to what fractions are. Basically, a fraction is a “piece” of a total—exactly as division would come out to be a piece of a total. If you had 2/7 as a fraction, simply divide 2 by 7 and you have a decimal. The way you’d do this is 7 doesn’t go into 2, so you put a 0 as the first number. Then add a .0 after the 2 to get 2.0. Well, 7 DOES go into 20. It goes in 2 times. Subtract 14 (2 times of 7) from the 20 to get 6. Add another 0 to the end of the 2.0 and drag it down to the 6. Now you have 60 and 7 goes into that 8 times. Subtract 56 from 60 (7 times 8 is 56) to get 4. Add another 0 to the 2.00 and drag it down to the 4 to get 40. 7 goes into 40 5 times. Then 5 remaining—drop another 0–7 goes into 50 7 times—remaining is 1–drop another 0. 7 goes in once—remaining 3–drop another 0–7 goes in 4 times. Now you’re stuck at another 20.. we already did 20. This means the digits you just got will repeat indefinitely. Therefore, the answer would be:

0.285714
With a line over 285714 to show it repeats forever. (It would basically be this if you kept going: 0.285714285714285714....)

So 2/7 in fraction form is 2/7; and in decimal form it is 0.285714 (285714 w/ line over it to signify repeating)

Find the surface area of the solid given the net
vivado [14]
Surface area = 17*(sqrt(1155) + 19)

h^2 = 19^2 - 17^2/4
=> h = sqrt(4*19^2 - 17^2)/2 = sqrt(1155)/2
Surface area = 4(1/2*h*17) + 17*19 = 17(sqrt(1155) + 19)

How would you simplify this -5x+2x+7y-3x
forsale [732]
In these types of problems, the first step is to combine like terms. Like terms are terms with the same exponent (power), and the same variable (like all x's). In the above equation, we can combine -5x, 2x and -3y. Let's do it:
-5x+2x+7y-3y = -6x+7y

The next step would be to factor out the common ratio, which is not applicable here, so your answer would be -6x + 7y. Hope this helps!

If f(x) is a third degree polynomial function and g(x) = f(–2x), which of the following is NOT true?
valina [46]

Answer:

f(x) and g(x) have the same x-intercepts (is <em>not true</em>)

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x) is a reflection across the y-axis and a horizontal compression of f(x). In general those transformations will move the x-intercepts. (The y-intercept and the number of x-intercepts will remain unchanged.)

_____

<em>Comment on the question/answer</em>

f(x) = x^3 is a 3rd degree polynomial. When transformed to g(x) = -8x^2, its only x-intercept (x=0) remains the same. The answer above will not apply in any instance where the only x-intercept is on the line of reflection. (The question is flawed in that it does not make any exception for such functions.)
