The smallest possible value of z is the denominator of the reduced fraction x/y. We note the prime factors of the members of set y are

... 2², 7, 2³, 3²

so if there are any even members of set x, the fraction can be reduced to something divided by 2. The number 6 in set x is even, so we have

... 6z/4 = 6·2/4 = 3 (an integer) when z=2

The lowest possible value of z is ...

... B) 2

Fatima plotted one side of a heptagon on a grid. the points (-8,1) and (-8,8) are joined to form a side of the heptagon. Fatima
Reil [10]

The general formula for the distance between two points is

d(A,B) = \sqrt{(A_x-B_x)^2 + (A_y-B_y)^2}

Anyway, if A and B have the same x or y coordinates, this formula can be simplified. For example, in this case the two points have the same x coordinate of -8, so the following part of the formula simplifies:

(A_x-B_x)^2 = (-8-(-8))^2 = (-8+8)^2 = 0^2 = 0

So, we're left with

d(A,B) = \sqrt{(A_y-B_y)^2}

but the square root of a square is the absolute value of the object being squared:

d(A,B) = \sqrt{(A_y-B_y)^2} = |A_y-B_y|

which is this case means |1-8| = |-7| = 7

which is the correct length of the side.

A boat has a speed of 15 mph in still water. It travels downstream from Greentown to Glenavon in g hours. It then goes back upst
Lerok [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find two things-- the speed of the boat in still water and the speed of the current.  Each of these things will be represented by a different variable:

B = speed of the boat in still water  

C = speed of the current

Since we have two variables, we will need to find a system of two equations to solve.

How do we find the two equations we need?  

Rate problems are based on the relationship Distance = (Rate)(Time).


Fill in the chart with your data (chart attached)

The resulting speed of the boat (traveling upstream) is B-C miles per hour.  On the other hand, if the boat is traveling downstream, the current will be pushing the boat faster, and the boat's speed will increase by C miles per hour.  The resulting speed of the boat (traveling downstream) is B+C miles per hour.  Put this info in the second column in the chart.  Now plug it into a formula! <u>Distance=(Rate)(Time) </u>Now solve using the systems of equations!

Geometry Homework Question ​
mash [69]

Answer:

Distance is 8.485

Midpoint is (3,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the points (-1,7) and (5,1)

Insert them into the equation and solve for D

D=\sqrt{x} ((5-(-1))^2 + (1-7)^2)\\D=\sqrt{x} ((6)^2 + (-6)^2)\\D=\sqrt{x} (36+36)\\D=\sqrt{x} (72)\\D=8.485

Insert points into second equation to find midpoint

(\frac{_1+5}{2} , \frac{7+1}{2}) \\(\frac{6}{2} ,\frac{8}{2} )\\(3,4)
