Answer:

<u>1 > 6/7 > 5/8 > 2/5</u>    <u>OR</u>     <u>2/5 < 5/8 < 6/7 < 1 </u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 2/5, 6/7, 5/8, and 1

We need to make the numbers in order from the least to the greatest or from the greatest to the least

The easy method is convert the rational numbers to decimal numbers

So,

2/5 = 0.4

6/7 ≈ 0.857

5/8 = 0.625

1 = 1

So, the numbers form the least to the greatest are:

0.4 , 0.625 , 0.857 , 1

So,

2/5 , 5/8 , 6/7 , 1

The inequality correctly compares the numbers are:

<u>2/5 < 5/8 < 6/7 < 1</u>

Or can be written from the greatest to the least as:

<u>1 > 6/7 > 5/8 > 2/5 </u>

If a quadratic equation has 4-i as a solution, what must the other solution be?
Luden [163]

Answer:

4+i

Step-by-step explanation:

A complex number usually took the form a+bi where a and b are real numbers and 'i' represents an imaginary number. For a quadratic equation, the complex roots for the root of a quadratic equation took the form known as complex conjugates. The complex conjugates are formed by changing the sign of the imaginary part.

SO, if a quadratic equation has 4-i as a solution, the other solution must be 4+i.
