1/6 is greater than 1/8 because if u cut a pie in eighths it is smaller in sixths it is a little bigger.

1/6
= (1*8) / (6*8)
= 8/48

1/8
= (1*6) / (8*6)
= 6/48

Because 8/48 > 6/48, 1/6 is larger than 1/8.

Would anyone care to explain how to get through this problem in the photo? I'm at a complete dead end! Any help would be appreci

shutvik [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the equation tangent to y = f(x) at x = 4 is equal to f'(4). Therefore,

$m = f'(4) = \dfrac{1}{(4)^2 - 9} = \dfrac{1}{7}$

We also know that the line passes through the tangent point at (4, -1) so we can write the slope-intercept form of the equation as

$y = mx + b \Rightarrow -1 = \dfrac{1}{7}(4) + b$ or

$b = -\dfrac{11}{7}$

so our equation is

$y = \dfrac{1}{7}x -\dfrac{11}{7}$

or in standard form,

$x - 7y = 11$

Ms. Brown predicted that 25% of the days in January would have temperatures below 45°F. How many days does she predict will have

Dmitriy789 [7]

The answer is 7.75. Since there can not be 7.75 days, you can round that to 8 and say that it's almost 8 days. Hope this helps!

In Exercise,find the horizontal asymptote of the graph of the function. f(x) = x/2x

tester [92]

Answer:

The horizontal asymptote for the function f(x) is 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We were given the function

$f(x)=\frac{x}{2x}$

which could be simplified as

$f(x)=\frac{x}{2x}=\frac{1}{2}$

this means that the function is a constant of value 1/2 for all value of x.

Then, in particular, the value of f will be 1/2 for x when x tends to infinite and minus infinite.

And because to find the horizontal asymptote of a function we have to calculate the limit of the function when x tends to infinite or minus infinite, we can ensure that this asymptote has also the value 1/2 of f.

Solve y: 6.3 = 0.9y Solve x: x + 7.72 = 19 What is y? What is x?

Ulleksa [173]

Solve y: 6.3 = 0.9y
6.3/0.9 = 0.9y/09
y = 7

Solve x: x + 7.72 = 19
x + 7.72-7.72 = 19 - 7.72
x = 11.28

What is y? 7 What is x? 11.28
