let's firstly convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then subtract, bearing in mind that the LCD of 4 and 2 is 4.

\bf \stackrel{mixed}{8\frac{3}{4}}\implies \cfrac{8\cdot 4+3}{8}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{35}{4}}~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{7\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{7\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{15}{2}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{35}{4}-\cfrac{15}{2}\implies \stackrel{\textit{using the LCD of 4}}{\cfrac{(1)35~~-~~(2)15}{4}}\implies \cfrac{35-30}{4}\implies \cfrac{5}{4}

Any quadrilateral which can be inscribed in a circle, is called a cyclic quadrilateral.


The main theorem about these quadrilaterals is the following:

In any cyclic quadrilateral, the sum of the measures of the opposite angles is 180°.

This means, m(∠S)+m(∠Q) =180°, 

thus 

(7x-2)+(5x+14)=180

12x+12=180

12x=168

x=168/12=14

Thus the measures of angles Q and S are respectively:

7x-2 = 7*14-2=96 (degrees) and 

5x+14=5*14+14=6*14=84 (degrees)

Solution to m^2- 36=0
alex41 [277]

Answer:

m=(-6,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

m^2 -36 = 0

Reorder the terms:

-36 + m^2 = 0

Solving for variable 'm'.

 Add '36' to each side of the equation.

-36 + 36 + m^2 = 0 + 36

Combine like terms: -36 + 36 = 0

0 + m^2 = 0 + 36

m^2 = 0 + 36

Combine like terms: 0 + 36 = 36

m^2 = 36

Simplifying

m^2 = 36

Take the square root of each side:

√m^2=+/-√36

m=(+/-)6

m = {-6, 6}

A ball is thrown into the air. The height in feet of the ball can be modeled by the equation h = -16t2 + 20t + 6 where t is the
makkiz [27]

f(t)=h=-16t^2+20t+6&#10;&#10;

a=-16, b=20, c =6

Δ=b^2-4ac=20^2-4*(-16)*6=400+384=784

\sqrt{Δ}=\sqrt{784}=28

max:

p=-\frac{b}{2a}=-\frac{20}{-32}=\frac{20}{32}=\frac{5}{8}

max heigh: h=-16(\frac{5}{8})^2+20*\frac{5}{8}+6=-16\frac{25}{64}+\frac{100}{8}+6

h=-\frac{25}{4}+\frac{50}{4}+6=\frac{-25+50+24}{4}=\frac{49}{4}

h=\frac{49}{4} at t=\frac{5}{8}s


will fall down at t:

t=\frac{-20-28}{-32}=\frac{-48}{-32}=\frac{3}{2}=1.5

t=1.5s

If ac =14 find the value of x then find ab and bc
Igoryamba

Answer:

If B is between A and C, AB = x, BC = 2x + 2, and AC = 14, find the value of x. Then find AB and BC.

Step-by-step explanation:

AB=x

BC = 2x + 2BC=2x+2

AC =14AC=14

Required

Determine x, AB and BC.

Since B is between A and C;

AB + BC = ACAB+BC=AC

Substitute x for AB; 2x + 2 for BC and 14 for AC

x + 2x + 2 = 14x+2x+2=14

3x + 2 = 143x+2=14

Collect Like Terms

3x = 14 - 23x=14−2

3x = 123x=12 '

x = \frac{12}{3}x=

3

12

x = 4x=4

Substitute 4 for x in

AB = xAB=x

BC = 2x + 2BC=2x+2

AB = 4AB=4

BC = 2(4) + 2BC=2(4)+2

BC = 8 + 2BC=8+2

BC = 10BC=10
