The fraction of the amount of money that Jing had left is $\frac{1}{24}$

The fraction of the amount of money Jing spent on the pack of pens = $\frac{1}{3}$
The fraction of the amount of money she spent on a pack of marker = $\frac{1}{2}$
The fraction of the amount of money she spent on a pack of pencils = $\frac{1}{8}$
The fraction of the money left = 1

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

One way to determine the total fraction of the amount of money she spent = the fraction of the money left - the fraction of the amount she spent on pack of pens + fraction of the amount spent on marker + fraction of the money she spent on pencils

Firstly, without the fraction of the money left, we have:

= $\frac{1}{3}$ + $\frac{1}{2}$ + $\frac{1}{8}$

= $\frac{8}{24}$ + $\frac{12}{24}$ + $\frac{3}{24}$ , it also the same as

= (8+12+3) / 24 (24 is the lowest common denominator)

= $\frac{23}{24}$

Since the fraction of the money left = 1

Therefore we have:

= 1 – $\frac{23}{24}$

= (24 x 1) – (23 x 1) / 24 (24 is the smallest number that can divide the denominators)

Therefore we have:

= 24 – 23 / 24

= $\frac{1}{24}$ .

Therefore the fraction of the amount that Jing has left is $\frac{1}{24}$ .

Notably, we solve this question using the BODMAS rule.

As per the problem

Jing spent $\frac{1}{3}$ of her money on a pack of pens.

$\frac{1}{2}$ of her money on a pack of markers.

and $\frac{1}{8}$ of her money on a pack of pencils.

Total fraction of money spent cab be given as below

Fraction of Money Spent = $\frac{1}{3} +\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{8}$

Take the LCD of denominator, we get LCD of (3,2,8)=24

Fraction of Money Spent = $\frac{8+12+3}{24} =\frac{23}{24} \\\\$

$\\ \text{Hence fraction of Money Spent }=\frac{23}{24} \\ \\ \text{Fraction of Money left}=1-\frac{23}{24} \\ \\ \text{Simplify, we get}\\ \\ \text{Fraction of Money left}=\frac{24-23}{24} \\ \\ \text{Fraction of Money left}=\frac{1}{24}$

Find a and b so that f(x) = x^3 + ax^2 + b will have a critical point at (2,3).

Digiron [165]

Using the critical point concept, it is found that a = -3 and b = 7.

<h3>What are the critical points of a function?</h3>

The critical points of a function are the values of x for which:

$f^{\prime}(x) = 0$

In this problem, the function is:

$f(x) = x^3 + ax^2 + b$

Hence, the derivative is:

$f^{\prime}(x) = 3x^2 + 2ax$

Then:

$f^{\prime}(x) = 0$

$3x^2 + 2ax = 0$

$x(3x + 2a) = 0$

$x = 0$

$3x + 2a = 0$

$3x = -2a$

$x = -\frac{2a}{3}$

Since the critical point is at x = 2, we have that:

$-\frac{2a}{3} = 2$

$-2a = 6$

$2a = -6$

$a = -3$

Then:

$f(x) = x^3 - 3x^2 + b$

Critical point at (2,3) means that when $x = 2, y = 3$ , then:

$3 = 2^3 - 3(2)^2 + b$

$8 - 12 + b = 3$

$b = 7$

Step-by-step explanation:

Y E S

I love simple math.

3.25$ to wash the car.

60 seconds: 1 quarter

how many quarters is 3.25?

4 quarters per dollar. so it'd be 13 quarters, then do 13*60=how many seconds u got. 780 seconds. I think you can do 780/60

HINT: hey, psst, it's 13 minutes. : D

If triangle def is rotated 180 degrees clockwise around the origin, what will be the coordinates of E’ in the image ?

Harlamova29_29 [7]

E' (-3,-1)

When rotating 180° clockwise about the origin the coordinates of the image will be the same x and y numbers but the opposite sign of the pre-image. Using the above as an example, pre-image E is located at (3,1) so the rotated image would be E' (-3,-1). Pre-image D is located at (-1,3) so the rotated image would be D' (1,-3). Pre-image F is located at (2,-2) so the rotated image would be F' (-2,2).
