Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: To write a fraction in lowest terms, we divide the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor of what the numerator is and what the denominator is.

Let's look at an example.

Write the following fraction in lowest terms:

\frac{2}{8}

To write 2/8 in lowest terms, we divide the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor of 2 and 8.

Since the factors of 2 are 1 and 2 and the factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, and 8, the greatest common factor of 2 and 8 will be 2.

So we divide the numerator and the denominator of 2/8 by 2.

2 ÷ 2 = 1

8 ÷ 2 = 4

Triangle A″B″C″ is formed by a reflection over x = 1 and dilation by a scale factor of 2 from the origin. Which equation shows t
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

segment AB over segment A double prime B double prime = the square root of 13 over 2 times the square root of 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle ABC has vertices at points A(-3,3), B(1,-3) and C(-3,-3).

1. Reflection over x = 1 maps vertices A, B and C as follows

  • A(-3,3)→A'(5,3);
  • B(1,-3)→B'(1,3);
  • C(-3,-3)→C'(5,-3).

2. Dilation by a scale factor of 2 from the origin has the rule

(x,y)→(2x,2y)

So,

  • A'(5,3)→A''(10,6);
  • B'(1,3)→B''(2,6);
  • C'(5,-3)→C''(10,-6)

See attached diagram for details

Note that

A''B''=2AB\\ \\A''C''=2AC\\ \\B''C''=2BC,\\ \\AB=\sqrt{(-3-1)^2+(3-(-3))^2}=\sqrt{16+36}=\sqrt{52}=2\sqrt{13}

so

\dfrac{AB}{A''B''}=\dfrac{2\sqrt{13}}{2\cdot 2\sqrt{13}}=\dfrac{\sqrt{13}}{2\sqrt{13}}

18 - 2x = y
DerKrebs [107]

B. Y equals 0, because if you plug it in ( multiply 2 by 9 ) you will get 18-18 which equals 0.

If a 200 N net force acts on a 500 grams car, what will the acceleration of the car be? ​
ladessa [460]

Answer:

The acceleration of the car will be 400 m/s².

Step-by-step explanation:

The acceleration of the car can be found using Newton second law:

F = ma

Where:

F: is the net force = 200 N

m: is the mass = 500 g

a: is the acceleration =?

Then, the acceleration will be:

a = \frac{F}{m} = \frac{200 N}{500 g*\frac{1 kg}{1000 g}} = 400 m/s^{2}  

Therefore, the acceleration of the car will be 400 m/s².

I hope it helps you!

The sum of two numbers is 87. if three times the smaller number is subtracted from the larger number the result is seven. find t
Stolb23 [73]
\left \{ {{a+b=87} \atop {a-3b=7}} \right.



a-3b=7
a=7+3b

a+b=87
(7+3b)+b=87
7+4b=87
4b=87-7
4b=80
b=20

a=7+3b
a=7+3*20
a=7+60
a=67
