What is 1 2/3 as an improper fraction

Mathematics
1 answer:
nataly862011 [7]3 years ago
6 0
Hi there! To turn a mixed number into a improper fraction we multiply 1 by 3 and add 2. 1 2/3=1×3+2/3=5/3. Therefore, 1 2/3 as an improper fraction is 5/3.

Answer:

  x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

These equations are solved easily using a graphing calculator. The attachment shows the one solution is x=2.

<h3>Squaring</h3>

The usual way to solve these algebraically is to isolate radicals and square the equation until the radicals go away. Then solve the resulting polynomial. Here, that results in a quadratic with two solutions. One of those is extraneous, as is often the case when this solution method is used.

  \sqrt{x+2}+1=\sqrt{3x+3}\qquad\text{given}\\\\(x+2)+2\sqrt{x+2}+1=3x+3\qquad\text{square both sides}\\\\2\sqrt{x+2}=(3x+3)-(x+3)=2x\qquad\text{isolate the root term}\\\\x+2=x^2\qquad\text{divide by 2, square both sides}\\\\x^2-x-2=0\qquad\text{write in standard form}\\\\(x-2)(x+1)=0\qquad\text{factor}

The solutions to this equation are the values of x that make the factors zero: x=2 and x=-1. When we check these in the original equation, we find that x=-1 does not work. It is an extraneous solution.

  x = -1: √(-1+2) +1 = √(3(-1)+3)   ⇒   1+1 = 0 . . . . not true

  x = 2: √(2+2) +1 = √(3(2) +3)   ⇒   2 +1 = 3 . . . . true . . . x = 2 is the solution

<h3>Substitution</h3>

Another way to solve this is using substitution for one of the radicals. We choose ...

  u=\sqrt{x+2}\qquad\text{requires $u\ge0$}\\\\u^2-2=x\qquad\text{solve for x}\\\\u+1=\sqrt{3(u^2-2)+3}\qquad\text{substitute for x in the original equation}\\\\(u+1)^2=3u^2-3\qquad\text{square both sides, simplify a little}\\\\2u^2-2u-4=0\qquad\text{subtract $(u+1)^2$}\\\\2(u-2)(u+1)=0\qquad\text{factor}

Solutions to this equation are ...

  u = 2, u = -1 . . . . . . the above restriction on u mean u=-1 is not a solution

The value of x is ...

  x = u² -2 = 2² -2

  x = 2 . . . . the solution to the equation

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Using substitution may be a little more work, as you have to solve for x in terms of the substituted variable. It still requires two squarings: one to find the value of x in terms of u, and another to eliminate the remaining radical. The advantage seems to be that the extraneous solution is made more obvious by the restriction on the value of u.

Which of the following values is equal to -(-3.7)?
inn [45]

A value equal to -(-3.7) is 3.7

The negative signs outside and inside zero out each other, which means you will get a positive. Think of (negative) as opposite. The opposite of an opposite will cancel out and give you what you had.

Is the percent increase from 50 to 70 equal to the percent decrease from 70 to 50? Explain.
Galina-37 [17]

Answer

No. The amounts of change are the same, but the original amounts are different. The ratio for the percent increase from 50 to 70 is 20/50, or 40%. The ratio for the percent decrease from 70 to 50 is 20/70, or about 29%.

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

10 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Parking needs to be paid for but if all friends are going together, they need to only pay once for parking.

The amount spent on just tickets is therefore:

= 243.25 - 15.75

= $227.50.

If $227.50 was for tickets alone, the number of tickets they could buy is:

= Total amount left/ Price of tickets

= 227.50 / 22.75

= 10 people
