Choose the fraction that has not been reduced 10-19, 15-16,19-38,21-34

The way this is worded, it sounds like it is a horizontal distance. However by the marking it looks like they want the hypotenuse. Life can be very confusing sometimes.

The angle of the triangle that you need to know is the one on the right. The line of sight line is parallel to the base of the triangle. So the angle on the right is 8 degrees by the Z theorem.

Solution

Sin(8) = 1817 / x Multiply both sides by x

x*sin(8) = 1817 Divide by sin(8)

x = 1817/sin(8)

sin(8) = 0.1392

x = 1817/0.1392

x = 13055.7

Note

Watch how you do this. I would put it into your calculator as

1817

÷

sin(8)

=

If you use the rounded answer I gave for sin(8), you might get it wrong. This is a big distance and you should just use the exact number you get for sin(8).

I have these factoring questions I need help with.

snow_lady [41]

$f(x)=4x^2+4x-3$

1. Determine y-intercept.

The y-intercept is (0,-3). Substitute x = 0 in the equation as we get f(x) = -3 as the y-intercept.

2. Determine the zeros.

Factor the polynomials first. $(2x-1)(2x+3)$ This is the factored form. The zeros are the roots of equation. Therefore, the zeros are 1/2 and -3/2

3. Determine the Axis of Symmetry

We can solve this by using the formula of $x=-\frac{b}{2a}$ However, I'll be solving the Axis of Symmetry with Calculus instead.

$f'(x)=2(4x^{2-1})+1(4x^{1-1})-0\\f'(x)=8x+4$

Then let f'(x) = 0 to find the Axis of Symmetry.

$8x+4=0\\8x=-4\\x=-\frac{4}{8}\\x=-\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore, the Axis of Symmetry is -1/2

4. Determine the vertex.

Substitute the value of Axis of Symmetry in f(x).

$f(x)=4(-\frac{1}{2})^2+4(-\frac{1}{2})-3\\f(x)=4(\frac{1}{4})-2-3\\f(x)=1-2-3\\f(x)=-4$

Therefore the vertex is at (-1/2, -4)

5. Does the vertex representing max-pont or min-point?

The vertex represents the minimum point. The graph is upward, meaning the minimum point is the point that gives the LOWEST Y-VALUE.

7. Graph f(x)

Unfortunately I won't be able to graph. But I can tell you to graph a parabola that has the most curve at the vertex and intercepts y-axis at (0,-3).

--------------------------- End of Part 1 --------------------------------

2. Write the general form of Quadratic Function in standard form.

$y=ax^2+bx+c$

The graph can be easily determined about the y-intercept and being an upward or downward parabola along with how narrow or wide the parabola is.

For example, c value is the y-intercept as defined. When a > 0, the parabola is upward and when a < 0, the parabola is downward. The more value of | a | is, the more narrow it will be and the less value of | a | it is, the wider it will be.

3. Write in Factored Form

$y=(x+a)(x+b)\\y=(x-a)(x-b)\\y=(x+a)(x-b)\\y=(x-a)(x+b)$

These are factored forms with different types of operators.

The equation can be easily determined about the roots of equation. For example, if the function is in f(x) = (x+2)(x-1) Then the roots would be x = -2 and 1 as the graph will intercept x-axis at (-2,0) and (1,0)

4. Write in Vertex Form.

$y=a(x-h)^2+k$

The equation can be easily determined for the vertex, axis of symmetry and the same narrow/wide/upward/downward parabola again.

The vertex is at (h,k) and the axis of symmetry is at x = h.

For example, $y=(x-2)^2+3$

The vertex would be at (2,3) and the axis of symmetry is x = 2.

What is 0.4 as a simplified fraction

mestny [16]

Answer: 2/5

Step-by-step explanation: Using the place value chart, we can see that the decimal 0.4 is four tenths, so we can write 0.4 as the fraction 4/10.

Notice however that 4/10 is not in lowest terms so we need to divide the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor of 4 and 10 which is 2.

So if we divide the numerator and the denominator by 2, we get the equivalent fraction 2/5.

Therefore, 0.4 can be written as the fraction 2/5 which is in lowest terms.
