(6a + -8b)(6a + 8b) = 0
Multiply (6a + -8b) * (6a + 8b)
(6a * (6a + 8b) + -8b * (6a + 8b)) = 0
((6a * 6a + 8b * 6a) + -8b * (6a + 8b)) = 0
Reorder the terms:
((48ab + 36a2) + -8b * (6a + 8b)) = 0
((48ab + 36a2) + -8b * (6a + 8b)) = 0
(48ab + 36a2 + (6a * -8b + 8b * -8b)) = 0
(48ab + 36a2 + (-48ab + -64b2)) = 0
Reorder the terms:
(48ab + -48ab + 36a2 + -64b2) = 0
Combine like terms: 48ab + -48ab = 0
(0 + 36a2 + -64b2) = 0
(36a2 + -64b2) = 0
Solving
36a2 + -64b2 = 0
Solving for variable 'a'.
Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '64b2' to each side of the equation.
36a2 + -64b2 + 64b2 = 0 + 64b2
Combine like terms: -64b2 + 64b2 = 0
36a2 + 0 = 0 + 64b2
36a2 = 0 + 64b2
Remove the zero:
36a2 = 64b2
Divide each side by '36'.
a2 = 1.777777778b2
Simplifying
a2 = 1.777777778b2
Take the square root of each side:
a = {-1.333333333b, 1.333333333b}</span>
Answer:
The answer is 12.64 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the figure it is clear that slope is the hypotenuse which we have to find while the other two sides are legs of the triangle whose lengths are known.
so the pitch of the roof is 12.64 ft. i explained in the figure below as well.
Answer:
3/5 has the smallest denominator
Step-by-step explanation:
Question:
There exist infinitely many common fractions a/b , where a > 0 and b > 0 and for which 3/5 < a/b< 2/3. Of these common fractions, which has the smallest denominator? Express your answer as a common fraction.
Solution
A Common fraction is a rational number written in the form: a/b. Where a and b are both integers.
The denominator and numerator in this case are greater than zero. That is, they are non zeros.
The least common denominator (LCD) of two non- zero denominators is the smallest whole number that is divisible by each of the denominators.
To find the smallest denominator between 3/5 and 2/3, we would convert the fractions to equivalent fractions with a common denominator by finding their LCM (lowest common multiple).
When comparing two fractions with like denominators, the larger fraction is the one with the greater numerator and the smaller fraction is one with the smaller numerator.
In our solution after comparing, the smaller fraction would have the smallest denominator.
