Their sum can be greater than 1 but it would be less than 2.

The biggest fraction which is less than 1 is 0.99

Sum of 0.99 + 0.99 = 1.98, which is greater than 1 but less than 2.

The sum can be greater than 1, but not two. For example say the fractions are, 3/4 and 5/6, the total is , 1 7/12. Which is greater than 1 but not two. It cannot be greater than 2 because fractions are a part of 1.UNLESS, it is a mixed number fractions, than they can be infinitely great. Such as 123 3/4 + 45 2/4 is definitely greater than 2.

Answer:

The inequality for this would be n ≥ 20.

We know this because it must be larger than 40. We also know it can possibly be equal because the statement says "at least".

PLEASE HELP Which expression represents the difference quotient of the function f (x) = negative StartRoot 2 x EndRoot?

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

c is the correct option

Step-by-step explanation:

from,

f'(x) = h >0 f(x + h) - f(x)

f(x) = - √2x

f(x + h) = - √(2x + h)

f'(x) = h>0 -√(2x + h) - √2x

rationalize the denominator

= h>0 -√(2x + h) + √2x (-√(2x + h) - √2x)

h (-√(2x + h) - √2x)

= h>0 4x + 2h - 4x

h(-√(2x + h) -√2x)

= h>0 2h

h(-√(2x+h) - √2x)

= h>0  2 

-√(2x+h) - √2x

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3 + 1/2 is a simple addition fraction problem.

You'd find the LCM (lowest common denominator) which is 6. First, we'll take 1/3 which the denominator becomes 6. You see one side has been basically multiplied by 2, so you'd do it to both sides, giving us 2/6. Next, we do the same thing with 1/2. 2 -> 6 1 -> 3. 3/6. So finally, we have 3/6 + 2/6, which is 5/6.
