Determine 2 additional fractions that would reduce to one fourth?

Explain why the following statements are equivalent: x + (y + 9) = (x + y) + 9

Alona [7]

Answer:

There are no like terms hence they stay the same

Step-by-step explanation:

x + (y + 9)

There are no like terms

=x+y+9

(x + y) + 9

There are no like terms

=x+y+9

Answer:

a) 5 b) 1 c) 0 d) -4

Explanation:

a) 10[(1/2+1/4) + 2(1/8)] ÷ 2

Ok, there's a lot going on. You will want to follow PEMDAS, the acronym of the Order of Operations. It stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, and Addition/Subtraction. The M/D can be switched depending on what comes first from left to right, and same goes for A/S.

First, start off by doing everything in the brackets.

Let's add 1/2 and 1/4. To add fractions, they have to have a common denominator. I'm making 1/2 into 2/4 but multiplying the top and bottom by 2. Now it is 2/4 + 1/4 so we can add to get 3/4.

The other thing inside the brackets is 2(1/8). We can just multiply straight across and get 2/8. This can be simplified to 1/4.

Now, we add 3/4 and 1/4. The denominators are already the same, so we can just add them together to get 4/4 or 1.

Rewriting the equation, we now have 10(1)÷2

10•1 = 10

10 ÷ 2 = 5

The answer to question a is 5.

b) √(0.6)² + (0.8)²

First, we need to square both terms. Squaring is the same as multiplying the number by itself.

0.6 • 0.6 = 0.36

0.8 • 0.8 = 0.64

Add them together: 0.36 + 0.64 = 1

√1 = 1

The answer to question b is 1.

c) (1/5 - 3/5) • √6•3/2 + (√36 ÷ √5²)

Let's start with the first bit: (1/5 - 3/5)

The denominators are the same, so just subtract and you get -2/5

The second bit now: $\sqrt{6 *\frac{3}{2} }$

Multiply across and you get 18/2, which can be simplified to 9

√9 = 3

The third section: ( $\sqrt{36}$ ÷ $\sqrt{5^{2} }$ )

The square root of 36 = 6 (because 6•6=36, so it's right)

The square root and the square cancel each other out, so the second part is 5.

6 ÷ 5 = 1.2

Now put it all together: -2/5 • 3 + 1.2

I'm making the 1.2 into a fraction so it is the same as the fraction: 1.2 = 6/5

We now have -2/5 • 3 + 6/5

First we multiply -2/5 and 3 across:

-2/5 • 3 = -6/5

Now we add -6/5 and 6/5 across:

-6/5 + 6/5 = 0

d) [-1.5 + √0.25 - (-0.75)] • 2^4

Doing the brackets first:

The square root of 0.25 = 0.5 (because 0.5 • 0.5 = 0.25)

-1.5 + 0.5 - -0.75

-1 + 0.75 (subtracting a negative make a positive)

-0.25

-0.25 • 2^4

2^4 = 16 (this is saying 2•2•2•2 which is 16)

-.25 • 16 = -4

Given the set definitions below, find X Y. X = {100, 200} Y = {1,2}

Veseljchak [2.6K]

The Cartesian product of two sets can be defined as the following: the set of all possible pairs where the 1st coordinate is an element of the 1st set and the 2nd coordinate is the element of the 2nd set. This has an obvious generalization for n sets (the cartesian product has then n coordinates).
Let us pick now all the pairs that have 100 as their first coordinate. We then have 2 choices for the 2nd coordinate, 1 and 2. Hence, the 2 pairs are: (100,1), (100,2). Similarly, if 200 is the first coordinate, the pairs are (200,1), (200,2).
These 4 pairs are the cartesian product (we have 4 pairs =2 elements from X* 2 elements from Y) .
It helps to remember that the cartesian product has as many elements as the product of the number of elements of each set.

Sonja had m books and Alfonzo had twice as many, the two together having 18 books. How do you solve?

raketka [301]

Answer:

sonja has 6 books

Step-by-step explanation:

let m = amount of books sonja has

2m+m=18

combine like terms

3m=18

divide
