Explain how you know 21 over 30 is greater than 2 over 3

1 answer:

4 0

<span>So we need to explain how we know 21/30 is greater than 2/3. Well lets expand 2/3 by multiplying the numerator and the denumerator by 10. That way we get 20 / 30. Since 21/30 has 1/30 more than 20/30 we can clearly see that 21/30 is greater than 20/30 or 2/3.</span>

√48a^4 b^5 c^3 d simplify and keep it in radical form

Morgarella [4.7K]

I will assume the square root extends all the way across.

$\sqrt{48a^4b^5c^3}$

$\sqrt{2^4\cdot3\cdot a^4b^5c^3}$

$\sqrt{(2^2)^2\cdot3\cdot(a^2)^2\cdot(b^2)^2\cdot b\cdot c^2\cdot c}$

$\sqrt{(4)^2\cdot3\cdot(a^2)^2\cdot(b^2)^2\cdot b\cdot c^2\cdot c}$

$\sqrt{(4\cdot a^2 \cdot b^2 \cdot c)^2\cdot3\cdot b\cdot c}$

$4\cdot a^2\cdot b^2\cdot c\sqrt{3\cdot b\cdot c}$

$\boxed{4a^2b^2c\sqrt{3bc}}$

Hi there! So the the new price is $93, and went up from $55. Let's subtract the numbers. 93 - 55 is 38. The change is 38. To find the percent markup, we can write and solve a proportion. Set it up like this:

38/55 = x/100

This is because the amount of change goes above the original (55), and x represents the percent out of 100. We are looking for the markup. Let's cross multiply the values. 100 * 38 is 3,800. 55 * x is 55x. 3,800 = 55x. Now, divide each side by 55 to isolate the x. 55x/55 cancels out. 3,800/55 is 69.0909 or 69 when rounded to the nearest whole number. There. The percent of markup is approx. 69%.

The axis of symmetry for the function f(x) = –2x2 + 4x + 1 is the line x = 1. Where is the vertex of the function located?

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

(1, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the h coordinate of the vertex as 1, but in order to find the k coordinate, you have to complete the square on the parabola. The first few steps are as follows. Set the parabola equal to 0 so you can solve for the vertex. Separate the x terms from the constant by moving the constant to the other side of the equals sign. The coefficient HAS to be a +1 (ours is a -2 so we have to factor it out). Let's start there. The first 2 steps result in this polynomial:

$-2x^2+4x=-1$ . Now we factor out the -2:

$-2(x^2-2x)=-1$ . Now we complete the square. This process is to take half the linear term, square it, and add it to both sides. Our linear term is 2x. Half of 2 is 1, and 1 squared is 1. We add 1 into the set of parenthesis. But we actually added into the parenthesis is +1(-2). The -2 out front is a multiplier and we cannot ignore it. Adding in to both sides looks like this:

$-2(x^2-2x+1)=-1-2$ . Simplifying gives us this:

$-2(x^2-2x+1)=-3$

On the left we have created a perfect square binomial which reflects the h coordinate of the vertex. Stating this binomial and moving the -3 over by addition and setting the polynomial equal to y:

$-2(x-1)^2+3=y$

From this form,

$y=-a(x-h)^2+k$

you can determine the coordinates of the vertex to be (1, 3)

Can someone help me? I'm trying to find the slope form of 4x + 2y = 4.

Neporo4naja [7]

Here, Equation: 4x + 2y = 4
Divide the equation by 2,
2x + y = 2
y = -2x + 2

Now, compare the equation with y = mx + c
Here, slope (m) = -2

In short, Your Answer would be -2

Hope this helps!
