Answer: The fractions are equal to each other

Step-by-step explanation: Notice that the fractions that we're comparing in this problem have different denominators. When fractions have different denominators, they're called unlike fractions.

To compare unlike fractions, we must first get a common denominator. The common denominator of 17 and 51 will be the least common multiple of 17 and 51 or 51.

To get a 51 in the denominator of 6/17, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by 3 which gives us 18/51.

Now we have two like fractions because they have the same denominators.

Notice that these fractions are equal to each other. This means that no fraction is larger than another, they're the same thing.

Match the parabolas represented by the equations with their vertices. y = x2 + 6x + 8 y = 2x2 + 16x + 28 y = -x2 + 5x + 14 y = -

GaryK [48]

Consider all parabolas:

$y = x^2 + 6x + 8,\\y=x^2+6x+9-9+8,\\y=(x^2+6x+9)-1,\\y=(x+3)^2-1.$

When x=-3, y=-1, then the point (-3,-1) is vertex of this first parabola.

$y = 2x^2 + 16x + 28=2(x^2+8x+14),\\y=2(x^2+8x+16-16+14),\\y=2((x^2+8x+16)-16+14),\\y=2((x+4)^2-2)=2(x+4)^2-4.$

When x=-4, y=-4, then the point (-4,-4) is vertex of this second parabola.

$y =-x^2 + 5x + 14=-(x^2-5x-14),\\y=-(x^2-5x+\dfrac{25}{4}-\dfrac{25}{4}-14),\\y=-((x^2-5x+\dfrac{25}{4})-\dfrac{25}{4}-14),\\y=-((x-\dfrac{5}{2})^2-\dfrac{81}{4})=-(x-\dfrac{5}{2})^2+\dfrac{81}{4}.$

When x=2.5, y=20.25, then the point (2.5,20.25) is vertex of this third parabola.

$y =-x^2 + 7x + 7=-(x^2-7x-7),\\y=-(x^2-7x+\dfrac{49}{4}-\dfrac{49}{4}-7),\\y=-((x^2-7x+\dfrac{49}{4})-\dfrac{49}{4}-7),\\y=-((x-\dfrac{7}{2})^2-\dfrac{77}{4})=-(x-\dfrac{7}{2})^2+\dfrac{77}{4}.$

When x=3.5, y=19.25, then the point (3.5,19.25) is vertex of this fourth parabola.

$y =2x^2 + 7x +5=2(x^2+\dfrac{7}{2}x+\dfrac{5}{2}),\\y=2(x^2+\dfrac{7}{2}x+\dfrac{49}{16}-\dfrac{49}{16}+\dfrac{5}{2}),\\y=2((x^2+\dfrac{7}{2}x+\dfrac{49}{16})-\dfrac{49}{16}+\dfrac{5}{2}),\\y=2((x+\dfrac{7}{4})^2-\dfrac{9}{16})=2(x+\dfrac{7}{4})^2-\dfrac{9}{8}.$

When x=-1.75, y=-1.125, then the point (-1.75,-1.125) is vertex of this fifth parabola.

$y =-2x^2 + 8x +5=-2(x^2-4x-\dfrac{5}{2}),\\y=-2(x^2-4x+4-4-\dfrac{5}{2}),\\y=-2((x^2-4x+4)-4-\dfrac{5}{2}),\\y=-2((x-2)^2-\dfrac{13}{2})=-2(x-2)^2+13.$

When x=2, y=13, then the point (2,13) is vertex of this sixth parabola.
