Maybe when its an easy simple fraction. For example 1/4= 25% and 1/2= 50%.

When your percent value is something like 75% or 50%.
75% is the same as $\frac{3}{4}$

50% is the same as $\frac{1}{2}$

The line $y = 3$ intersects the graph of $y = 4x^2 + x - 1$ at the points $A$ and $B$. The distance between $A$ and $B$ can be w

raketka [301]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the points $A$ and $B$ .

We know that the $y$ -coordinates of both are $3$ .

So let's first solve:

$3=4x^2+x-1$

Subtract 3 on both sides:

$0=4x^2+x-1-3$

Simplify:

$0=4x^2+x-4$

I'm going to use the quadratic formula, $x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ , to solve.

We must first compare to the quadratic equation, $ax^2+bx+c=0$ .

$a=4$

$b=1$

$c=-4$

$\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1^2-4(4)(-4)}}{2(4)}$

$\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1+64}}{8}$

$\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{65}}{8}$

Since the distance between the points $A$ and $B$ is horizontal. We know this because they share the same $y-coordinate$ .This means we just need to find the positive difference between the $x$ -values we found for the points of $A$ and $B$ .

So that is, the distance between $A$ and $B$ is:

$\frac{-1+\sqrt{65}}{8}-\frac{-1-\sqrt{65}}{8}$

$\frac{-1+\sqrt{65}+1+\sqrt{65}}{8}$

$\frac{2\sqrt{65}}{8}$

$\frac{\sqrt{65}}{4}$

If we compare this to $\frac{\sqrt{m}}{n}$ , we should see that:

$m=65 \text{ and } n=4$ .

So $m-n=65-4=61$ .

Answer:

1 -√2

Step-by-step explanation:

$\tan(x/2)=\dfrac{1-\cos(x)}{\sin(x)}\\\\\tan\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot\dfrac{7\pi}{4}\right)=\dfrac{1-\cos\dfrac{7\pi}{4}}{\sin\dfrac{7\pi}{4}}=\dfrac{1-\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}{-\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}=\boxed{1-\sqrt{2}}$
