Are 4/16 and 0.25/2 equivalent numbers? If so, explain how they are.

1 answer:

3 0

Two fractions are equivalent if the product of the numerator of the first and the denominator of the second is equal to the product of the numerator of the second and the denominator of the first.
4 x 2 ___ 16 x 0.25
8 is not equal to 4
Thus, they are not equivalent.

Solve using quadratic formula 6x^2-x=2

Nadya [2.5K]

$6x^2-x=2\implies 6x^2-1x-2=0 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{quadratic formula} \\\\ \stackrel{\stackrel{a}{\downarrow }}{6}x^2\stackrel{\stackrel{b}{\downarrow }}{-1}x\stackrel{\stackrel{c}{\downarrow }}{-2}=0 \qquad \qquad x= \cfrac{ - b \pm \sqrt { b^2 -4 a c}}{2 a}$

$x = \cfrac{ -(-1) \pm \sqrt { (-1)^2 -4(6)(-2)}}{2(6)}\implies x = \cfrac{1\pm\sqrt{1+48}}{12} \\\\\\ x = \cfrac{1\pm\sqrt{49}}{12}\implies x = \cfrac{1\pm 7}{12}\implies x = \begin{cases} \frac{8}{12}\to &\frac{2}{3}\\[1em] -\frac{6}{12}\to &-\frac{1}{2} \end{cases}$
