Answer:

Always

Step-by-step explanation:

The rules for positive numbers is that addition and multiplication makes numbers larger. Subtraction and division makes numbers smaller.

Since 12 is a positive number, the result of dividing a positive number by 12 will make it smaller.

Step-by-step explanation:

the whole circle has 360° and an area of pi*r² =pi*24²=pi* 576

for 360° and A=pi*576

for 360-63= 297° and A= (297*576*pi) / 360 = 1,492.885 m²

for f(x)=1/x-5 and g(x)=x^2+2 find the expression for g(x) and substitute the value of g(x) into the function in place of x to f

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

f(x) = (1/x) - 5

g(x) = x^2 + 2

=> f[g(x)] = [1/(x^2 +2)] - 5

3/10 divided by -1/3

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

-9/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the LCM of 10 and 3: 30
Alter the numerators to fit the denominators: 3 × 3 = 9, -1 × 10 = -10
Re-write the fractions: 9/30 ÷ -10/30
9/30 ÷ -10/30 = 9/30 × -30/10
9/30 × -30/10 = -270/300
$-\frac{270}{300} = -\frac{9}{10}$

I hope this helps!
