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>

The line passing through (-2,5) and (2,p) has a gradient of -1/2. <br><br> Fnd the value of p
makkiz [27]

Given:

The line passing through (-2,5) and (2,p) has a gradient of -\dfrac{1}{2}.

To find:

The value of p.

Solution:

If a line passes through two points, then the slope of the line is:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

The line passing through (-2,5) and (2,p). So, the slope of the line is:

m=\dfrac{p-5}{2-(-2)}

m=\dfrac{p-5}{2+2}

m=\dfrac{p-5}{4}

It is given that the gradient or slope of the line is -\dfrac{1}{2}.

\dfrac{p-5}{4}=-\dfrac{1}{2}

On cross multiplication, we get

2(p-5)=-4(1)

2p-10=-4

2p=-4+10

2p=6

Divide both sides by 2.

p=3

Therefore, the value of p is 3.

Solve the matrix equation for a, b, c, and d. [1 2] [a b] [6 5][3 4] [c d]= [19 8]
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The answer is "\bold{\left[\begin{array}{cc}a&b\\c&d\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{cc}7&-2\\ -\frac{1}{2}&\frac{7}{2}\end{array}\right]}".

Step-by-step explanation:

\bold{\left[\begin{array}{cc}1&2\\3&4\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{cc}a&b\\c&d\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{cc}6&5\\ 19&8\end{array}\right]}

Solve the L.H.S part:

\left[\begin{array}{cc}1&2\\3&4\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{cc}a&b\\c&d\end{array}\right]\\\\\\\left[\begin{array}{cc}a+2c&b+2d\\3a+4c&3b+4d\end{array}\right]

After calculating the L.H.S part compare the value with R.H.S:

\left[\begin{array}{cc}a+2c&b+2d\\3a+4c&3b+4d\end{array}\right]= \left[\begin{array}{cc}6&5\\ 19&8\end{array}\right]} \\\\

\to a+2c =6....(i)\\\\\to b+2d =5....(ii)\\\\\to 3a+4c =19....(iii)\\\\\to 3b+4d = 8 ....(iv)\\\\

In equation (i) multiply by 3 and subtract by equation (iii):

\to 3a+6c=18\\\to 3a+4c=19\\\\\text{subtract}... \\\\\to 2c = -1\\\\\to  c= - \frac{1}{2}

put the value of c in equation (i):

\to a+ 2 (- \frac{1}{2})=6\\\\\to a- 2 \times \frac{1}{2}=6\\\\\to a- 1=6\\\\\to a =6 +1\\\\\to a = 7\\

In equation (ii) multiply by 3 then subtract by equation (iv):

\to 3b+6d=15\\\to 3b+4d=8\\\\\text{subtract...}\\\\\to 2d = 7\\\\\to d= \frac{7}{2}\\

put the value of d in equation (iv):

\to 3b+4 (\frac{7}{2})=8\\\\\to 3b+4 \times \frac{7}{2}=8\\\\\to 3b+14=8\\\\\to 3b =8-14\\\\\to 3b = -6\\\\\to b= \frac{-6}{3}\\\\\to b= -2

The final answer is "\bold{\left[\begin{array}{cc}a&b\\c&d\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{cc}7&-2\\ -\frac{1}{2}&\frac{7}{2}\end{array}\right]}".
