Answer: No, the page content of the atlas cannot be replicated on the eReader.

Please check explanations below for solution to question (b)

Step-by-step explanation: The dimensions of the eReader screen is given as 8 inches by 6 inches. In order to move a rectangular shape such as the atlas onto it would require the same measurements or, a measurement that has the same ratio as both the length and width of the screen, but a reduced size.

This brings us to similar shapes. When two shapes (rectangles in this case) are similar, it simply means there is a common ratio between the corresponding sides, that is the length and the width. If rectangle 1 has its side measuring 8 inches, then rectangle 2 would have the corresponding side having a common ratio with that of rectangle 1. This means the corresponding side in rectangle 2 can either be an enlargement (which would mean 8 times a scale of enlargement) or a reduction (which means 8 divided by a scale of reduction).

In the question given, the eReader screen has dimensions of 8 inches by 6 inches. The atlas has dimensions given as 19 inches by 12 inches. By observation we can see that the width of the atlas is times 2 of the screen. The length of the atlas however is not times 2 of the screen. That is;

Ratio = Rectangle 1 : Rectangle 2

Ratio of Width = 6 : 12

Ratio of Width = 1 : 2

Likewise

Ratio of Length = 8 : 19

Ratio of Length ≠ 1: 2

This proves that the atlas cannot be scaled down to fit properly into the screen. A solution to make this possible would be to resize the length of the atlas to become times 2 of the eReader screen. This would result in the atlas having new dimensions given as

Length = 16 inches

Width = 12 inches

This would ensure that both rectangular shapes are similar and the atlas can now be scaled down by a factor of 2 to fit in properly into the eReader screen.

Kevin runs a farm stand that sells apples and raspberries. Each pound of apples sells for $3.50 and each pound of raspberries se
krek1111 [17]

Kevin sold 10 pounds of apples and 20 pounds of raspberries.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost per pound of apples = $3.50

Cost per pound of raspberries = $4

Total amount earned = $115

Let,

x represent the pounds of apples sold

y represent the pounds of raspberries sold

According to given statement;

3.50x+4y=115     Eqn 1

y = 2x                  Eqn 2

Putting value of y from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

3.50x+4(2x)=115\\3.50x+8x=115\\11.50x=115

Dividing both sides by 11.50

\frac{11.50x}{11.50}=\frac{115}{11.50}\\x=10

Putting x=10 in Eqn 2

y=2(10)\\y=20

Kevin sold 10 pounds of apples and 20 pounds of raspberries.

Give an example of: degree of a polynomial is the highest sum of one of its terms, explain.
yuradex [85]

Example 1  Perform the indicated operation for each of the following.

<span>(a) </span>Add  to 

<span>(b) </span>Subtract   

Solution

(a) Add  to .

The first thing that we should do is actually write down the operation that we are being asked to do.

                                          

In this case the parenthesis are not required since we are adding the two polynomials.  They are there simply to make clear the operation that we are performing.  To add two polynomials all that we do is combine like terms.  This means that for each term with the same exponent we will add or subtract the coefficient of that term.

 

In this case this is,

           

[Return to Problems]

 

(b) Subtract  from .

Again, let’s write down the operation we are doing here.  We will also need to be very careful with the order that we write things down in.  Here is the operation
