Find the least common denominator for these two rational expressions -5/s -1/2s

1 answer:

6 0

<span>-5/s -1/2s
.The least common denominator is 2, since 2 is divisible by 1 and by 2

The answer will be : </span><span>-5/s -1/2s = -10/2s - 1/2s = -11s/2</span>

The length of the red line segment is 8 and the length of the blue line segment is 4. How long is the major axis of the eclipse?

liraira [26]

The major axis of the eclipse is 12 units long

The given parameters can be represented as:

$Red = 8$

$Blue = 4$

See attachment for illustration

To solve this question, we make use of the following theorem

The distance between a point and the foci sums up to the major axis

This translates to:

$Major\ axis = Red + Blue$

$Major\ axis = 8 + 4$

$Major\ axis = 12$

Which pair of undefined terms is used to define a ray?

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

A point and a line.

Further explanation:

Ray is part of the line with one endpoint. Ray is an endless straight path in one direction from a starting point, e.g., .

The arrow above the point shows the direction of the longitudinal beam. The length of the ray cannot be calculated.

Undefined terms are basic figure that is not defined in terms of other figures. The undefined terms (or primitive terms) in geometry are a point, line, and plane.

These key terms cannot be mathematically defined using other known words.

A point represents a location and has no dimension (size). It is labeled with a capital letter and a dot.

A line is an infinite number of points extending in opposite directions that have only one dimension. It has one dimension. It is a straight path and no thickness.

A plane is a flat surface that contains many points and lines. A plane extends infinitely in all four directions. It is two-dimensional. Three noncollinear points determine a plane, as there is exactly one plane that can go through these points.

Which of the following functions gives the length of the base edge, a(v), of a right square pyramid that is 8 inches tall as a f

Reil [10]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{a(V)=\sqrt{\dfrac{3V}{8}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a volume of a square pyramid:

$V=\dfrac{1}{3}a^2h$

a - base edge

h - height of a pyramid

We have H = 8in.

Substitute and solve for a:

$\dfrac{1}{3}a^2(8)=V\\\\\dfrac{8}{3}a^2=V\qquad\text{multiply both sides by}\ \dfrac{3}{8}\\\\\dfrac{3\!\!\!\!\diagup^1}{8\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}\cdot\dfrac{8\!\!\!\!\diagup^1}{3\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}a^2=\dfrac{3}{8}V\\\\a^2=\dfrac{3V}{8}\Rightarrow a=\sqrt{\dfrac{3V}{8}}$
