You put the whole number on top of 1, it doesnt change its value. then you simplify across like in a butterfly only if needed then you multiply across from left to right.

When multiplying fractions and whole numbers, you either turn the fraction into a decimal, or the whole number into a fraction.

For example, the solution for 2/5(8) can be found by turning 2/5 into a decimal (0.4) and multiplying that by 8, or by turning 8 into a fraction (8/1) and multiplying those together.
You will get 3.2 and 16/5. 16/5 can be simplified to be 3 1/5, or 3.2. As you can see, either method works and will give you the same answer.

Use the Law of Sines to find the measure of angle J to the nearest degree.
rjkz [21]
\bf \textit{Law of sines}
\\ \quad \\
\cfrac{sin(\measuredangle A)}{a}=\cfrac{sin(\measuredangle B)}{b}=\cfrac{sin(\measuredangle C)}{c}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{sin(J)}{9.1}=\cfrac{sin(97^o)}{11}\implies sin(J)=\cfrac{9.1\cdot sin(97^o)}{11}
\\\\\\
\textit{now taking }sin^{-1}\textit{ to both sides}
\\\\\\
sin^{-1}\left[ sin(J) \right]=sin^{-1}\left( \cfrac{9.1\cdot sin(97^o)}{11} \right)
\\\\\\
\measuredangle J=sin^{-1}\left( \cfrac{9.1\cdot sin(97^o)}{11} \right)

write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line passing through the point(-5,-2) and parallel to the line y=2x-2
Ivanshal [37]
Point- Slope form is
y - y1 = m (x - x1)
m = slope, (x1, y1) = point
Slope intercept form is y = mx + b
m = slope, b = y-intercept
In order for two lines to be parallel, they must have the same slope, so in this case our slope, m = 2. Now use point-slope form to insert the point and solve.
y--2 = 2 (x --5)
y + 2 = 2x + 10
y = 2x + 8

Estimate the side length of a square that has a 9cm long diagonal
Fittoniya [83]
S^2 + s^2 = 9^2 => 2s^2 = 81 => s^2 = 81/2 => side length s = 9(sqrt(2))/2 = 6.37 cm.

A rectangle has a perimeter of 30 ft. Find a function that models its area A in terms of the length x of one of its sides. What
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the other side of the rectangle be y. The perimeter of the rectangle is expressed as P = 2(x+y)

Given P = 30ft, on substituting P = 30 into the expression;

30 = 2(x+y)

x+y = 15

y = 15-x

Also since the area of the rectangle is xy;

A = xy

Substitute y = 15-x into the area;

A = x(15-x)

A = 15x-x²

The function that models its area A in terms of the length x of one of its sides is A = 15x-x²

The side of length x yields the greatest area when dA/dx = 0

dA/dx = 15-2x

15-2x = 0

-2x = -15

x = -15/-2

x = 7.5 ft

Hence the side length, x that yields the greatest area is 7.5ft.

Since y = 15-x

y = 15-7.5

y = 7.5

Area of the rectangle = 7.5*7.5

Area of the rectangle = 56.25ft²
