How do you simplify a complex fraction

1 answer:

6 0

A compound fraction is simplified by multiplying the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator fraction. This process is repeated as often as necessary at every level of the fraction.

Examples:
(a/b)/(c/d) = (ad)/(bc)
a/(b/c) = (ac)/b
(a/b)/c = a/(bc)

_____
When the fraction has numerators or denominators that are fractions, you need to be very clear about what is being divided by what. If it isn't clear by the typesetting (length or boldness of fraction bars), then parentheses are required around numerators and around denominators.

The growth factor of the exponential function represented by the table is 5.

The correct option is c.

<h3>What is the growth factor of the exponential function?</h3>

The growth factor of the exponential function is the ratio of the two consecutive terms (y-values).

The growth factor of the exponential function is given by;

$\rm Growth\ factor=\dfrac{y(x_2)}{y(x_1)}\\\\$

As per given, we have a table;

x y

-2 0.004

-1 0.02

0 0.1

1 0.5

The value $\rm x_2$ is -2 and $\rm x_1$ is -1.

Therefore,

the growth factor of the exponential function represented by the table would be :

$\rm Growth\ factor=\dfrac{y(x_2)}{y(x_1)}\\\ \rm Growth\ factor=\dfrac{y(-1)}{y(-2)}\\\\\rm Growth\ factor=\dfrac{0.02}{0.004}\\\\ \rm Growth\ factor=5$

Hence, the growth factor of the exponential function represented by the table is 5.

A bag contains three different shaped pieces of card

algol13

Answer:

2:3:5

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are going to be using direct numbers from the ratio

Circles to triangles is; 2:3

So for 200 circles, there are 300 triangles

Triangles to rectangles ; 2:5

300 triangles, there are 500 rectangles

Circles to triangles to rectangles is thus;

200: 300:500

= 2:3:5
