Let x be the number of white marbles and y be the number of blue marbles. 
So, x+y=79
Also, x = 4y-6 since "<span>the number of white marbles is 6 less than 4 times the number of blue marbles</span>"
We will solve the above system o two equation:
Using the value of x from the second equation in the first equation we get:
(4y-6)+y=79\\5y=79+6\\5y=85\text{ then }y=\frac{85}{5}=17\\x=79-17=62
Conclusion: there is 62 white marbles and 17 blue marbles.

Answer: (a) 314.2cm², (b) 157.1cm², (c) 78.55cm² (e) 6.77

Step-by-step explanation: (a)  Area of the circle with radius of 10 cm = πr²

                                                                          = 3.142 × 10 × 10

                                                                          = 3.142 × 100

                                                                          = 314.2cm²

The formula                                                       = πr²

(b)  Area of the half of a circle known as semicircle

                                                                         = πr²/2

                                                                         = 3.142 ×10 × 10/2

                                                                         = 3.142 × 50

                                                                         = 157.1cm²

The formula                                                      = πr²/2

(c)  A quarter of a circle is called quadrant

                                                            = πr²/4

                                                            = 3.142 × 10 × 10/4

                                                            = 314.2/4

                                                            = 78.55cm²

The formula is written thus = πr²/4, which implies that the circle is divided into 4 unit

(d) The conjecture about how to determine the area of the sector is

Formula of a sector = ∅/360(πr²)

<u>Information</u>

The arc  cant be 60°, therefore information incomplete.

(e) Area of the sector with the angle AOB of 60° = 24.

To find the radius of the angle, make v the subject of the formula from the formula.

Sector area = πr²∅/360°

equate formula to 24.

Therefore πr²∅/360° = 24

Multiply through by360° to make it a linear expression

It now becomes πr²∅ =24× 360°

                                                     r² = 24  x 360/π × ∅°

                                                     r² = 24 × 360° /3.142 × 60°

                                                     r² = 3,640/188.52

                                                     r² = 45.8

To find r , we take the square root of both side by applying laws of indicies

                                    Therefore r = √45 .8

                                                      r = 6.77

(f)   General formula = ∅°/360° × (πr²)

angle substended at centre by the arc = x°

assuming the radius of the circle = ycm, Therefore,  area of the sector = { ∅°/360° × πy² }

Give an example of this when adding two rationalnumbers with different signs and provide the product.
kolezko [41]

ANSWER:

\begin{gathered} \frac{4}{5}+-\frac{8}{3}=-\frac{28}{15} \\ \frac{4}{5}\cdot-\frac{8}{3}=-\frac{32}{15} \end{gathered}

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

Rational numbers are all numbers that can be expressed as a fraction, that is, as the quotient of two whole numbers.

Therefore, an example would be:

\begin{gathered} \frac{4}{5}\text{ and - }\frac{8}{3} \\ \text{adding} \\ \frac{4}{5}+-\frac{8}{3}=\frac{4}{5}-\frac{8}{3} \\ \frac{4}{5}-\frac{8}{3}=\frac{4\cdot3-5\cdot8}{5\cdot3}=\frac{12-40}{15}=-\frac{28}{15} \\ \text{ product} \\ \frac{4}{5}\cdot-\frac{8}{3}=-\frac{4\cdot8}{5\cdot3}=-\frac{32}{15} \end{gathered}
