What’s the missing factor?

Mathematics

Vesna [10]3 years ago

The missing factor is 1 5/8

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let us consider the missing factor has 'x'

The given expression is 4 1/2 - x = 2 7/8

<u>To find x :</u>

The first step is to bring all the constant terms on on side and x on the other side,

⇒ 4 1/2 - 2 7/8 = x

Now, the numbers are in improper fraction (mixed fraction). So you have to convert them into proper fraction.

To convert the improper fraction 4 1/2 into proper fraction,

Multiply the denominator 2 with 4 and the result 8 is added with the numerator 1.

⇒ 4 1/2 = 9/2.

To convert the improper fraction 2 7/8 into proper fraction,

Multiply the denominator 8 with 2 and the result 16 is added with the numerator 7.

⇒ 2 7/8 = 23/8.

Now replace them in the given expression. The expression becomes as :

⇒ (9/2) - (23/8) = x

Cross multiply 2 and 8,

⇒ (72 - 46) / 16 = x

⇒ 26 / 16 = x

⇒ 13/8 = x

The x value is 13/8. You have to convert it into mixed fraction (since the question is given in the form of mixed fraction).

<u>To convert into mixed fraction,</u>

Divide 13 by 8 and write them in the form of Quotient (Reminder / Divisor).

⇒ 13 ÷ 8

⇒ 1 (quotient)

⇒ 5 (remainder)

The divisor is 8.

Therefore, x = 13/8 can be written as 1 5/8.

The missing factor is 1 5/8.

Describe the relationship between the variables.
sertanlavr [38]
  • Relationship between the variables are
  • (a) As the age increases, the height increases.
  • No relationship between variables.
  • (a) As the  age increases, height decreases.
  • (b) As the height decreases, the age decreases.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • If visually found a child born till his age of elder he has increased.
  • It is clearly true that as the age increases height increases.
  • Child is born at some point of time with a particular height.
  • It is never an association between age increases and height reduces.
  • Age is again started at some point of time, it cannot decrease.
  • After descriptive statistics there something called predictive.
  • Describing the data is one way of understanding statistics.
  • It is mean,median mode where the particularly number stands.
  • Predictive is the next stage an association of variables.
  • Variables are very important in analysis it basically attribution.
  • In order to find any analyse test studies are important variables to.

What are the coordinates of the hole in the graph of the function f(x) ?
Vinvika [58]
ANSWER

(3, \infty )

EXPLANATION

The given function is

f(x) = \frac{ {x}^{2} - 9}{x - 3}

When we plug in x=3 into this function, we obtain,

f(3) = \frac{0}{0}

This means that the function is discontinuous at x=3.

We need to simplify the function to obtain,

f(x) = \frac{(x - 3)(x + 3)}{(x - 3)}

This implies that,

f(x) = x + 3

The graph this function is a straight line that is continuous everywhere.

To graph

f(x) = \frac{ {x}^{2} - 9}{x - 3}
we draw the graph of

f(x) = x + 3
and leave a hole at x=3.

See diagram in attachment.

Hence the coordinates of hole is

(3, \infty )

Multiply.
Crank
The main rules that we use here are :

i) \sqrt{a \cdot b}=  \sqrt{a} \cdot \sqrt{b} for nonnegative values a and b.

ii) \sqrt{a} \cdot  \sqrt{a} =a.


Thus, first 'decompose' the numbers in the radicals into prime factors:

4 \sqrt{3} \cdot 10 \cdot  \sqrt{2\cdot2\cdot3}\cdot  \sqrt{2\cdot 3}\cdot  \sqrt{2}..

By rule (i) we write:

4 \sqrt{3} \cdot 10 \cdot \sqrt{2}\cdot \sqrt{2}\cdot \sqrt{\cdot3}\cdot \sqrt{2} \cdot  \sqrt{3} \cdot \sqrt{2}.

We can collect these terms as follows:

40 \sqrt{3}\cdot (\sqrt{3}\cdot \sqrt{3}) \cdot (\sqrt{2}\cdot \sqrt{2}) \cdot( \sqrt{2} \cdot \sqrt{2}), and by rule (ii) we have:

40 \sqrt{3}\cdot 3 \cdot 2 \cdot2=40\cdot12\cdot \sqrt{3}=480 \sqrt{3}.


Answer: 480 \sqrt{3}.
