The lcd of two fractions is always greater than the denominator of the fractions. Reasonable or not?

2 answers:

7 0

Lcd means least common denomenators
it is normally used to combine fractions with differnt denomenators

I can show 2 disproofs

so
they can be equal
conside
3/4 and 5/8
lcd is 8, 8>8 is false
not reasnable

they can be less if they arenot simplified
example
4/8 and 24/16
lcd is 4

not reasonable

It is not reasonable.
The LCD can be less than the denominators if the fractions are not in simplest form but the LCD can be equal to one of the fractions even if they are in simplest form, for example:
3/4 and 1/2

Hope this helps :)

Identify the data set that could be quadratic. HELP ASAP!!

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Option B can be quadratic.

Step-by-step explanation:

Take a look at the data.

A quadratic equation is of the form ,

$y = ax^{2} +bx + c$ ,

where, a,b,c are constants.

To find an unknown equation of 3 variables,

we need 3 points lying on the equation.

here they have given, 5 points, meaning all should lie on the curve.

For first option, inserting first 3 points to find equation, we get equation as,

$y = x^{2} -4x +11$ , but the rest points don't satisfy the curve.

So first option is not quadratic.

Similarly, it can be shown that option C and D are also not quadratic.

While, in option B, it is clear that for every y, x is y squared,

$x = y^{2}$ , thus quadratic in nature.

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (5, -1) and

trapecia [35]

Answer:

y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you find the slope by using the slope formula and get 0. Now, choose one coordinate and plug it into the equation y = mx + b along with the slope. If you chose the first coordinate, the equation would be -1 = (0)(5) + b. After solving for b (the y-intercept) you would get -1. Lastly, you rewrite the equation as y = -1.
