Stuff:

4/8 or 1/2 of pie is left.

Mr. Vargas eats 1/4 of the whole pie.

8 slices * 1/4 = 8/4 = 2 slices.

Out of the 4 slices remaining, Mr. Vargas ate 2 slices.

That left 2 slices from the original 8 slices.

2/8 = 1/4

Answer: 1/4 of the pie remained.

How would you change 18/7 into a mix number?

RSB [31]

How many times does 18 go into 7? The answer is 2 times since 14/7 = 2 and we'll have 4 left over. We can say that 18/7 = 2 remainder 4. The remainder of 4 is placed over the denominator 7 to indicate we a fractional part.

Therefore, 18/7 = 2 & 4/7

Find the coordinates of the missing endpoint if P is the midpoint of Line Segment NQ.

dimaraw [331]

Midpoint formula is $(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$ .

So starting with this one, we will be solving for the coordinates of the unknown endpoint separately. Starting with the x-coordinate, since we know that the midpoint x-coordinate is 5 and the x-coordinate of N is 2, our equation is set up as such: $\frac{x+2}{2}=5$ From here we can solve for the x-coordinate of Q.

Firstly, multiply both sides by 2: $x+2=10$

Next, subtract both sides by 2 and your x-coordinate is $x=8$

With finding the y-coordinate, it's a similar process as with the x-coordinate except that we are using the y-coordinates of the midpoint and endpoint N.

$\frac{y+0}{2}=2\\ y=4$

<u>Putting it together, the missing endpoint is (8,4).</u>

<em>(The process is pretty much the same with the other problems, so I'll go through them real quickly.)</em>

$\frac{x+5}{2}=6\\ x+5=12\\ x=7$

$\frac{y+4}{2}=3\\ y+4=6\\ y=2$

<u>The missing endpoint is (7,2).</u>

$\frac{x+3}{2}=-1\\ x+3=-2\\ x=-5$

$\frac{y+9}{2}=5\\ y+9=10\\y=1$

<u>The missing endpoint is (-5,1).</u>

Which expressions are equivalent to (5g+3h+4) •2

timama [110]

Step-by-step explanation:

Unfortunately you didn’t provide the expressions to chose from

however, we can write :

(5g+3h+4) •2 = 2*5g + 2*3h + 2*4 (using distributive property)

= 10g + 6h + 8.

Find the zeros of x^2+4x=-10 using the quadratic formula

ipn [44]

X^2+4+10=0
x=(-4(+/-)root16-40)/2, so we now know that the zeros are imaginary, because you can't square root a negative number and 16-40 is -24
so the two roots are…
-2+iroot6 and -2-iroot6
