Nezavi [6.7K]3 years ago

we can always find the slope of any line by simply using two points on the line, say let's  use (3,4) and (-1,2)

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{2}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{2-4}{-1-3}\implies \cfrac{-2}{-4}\implies \stackrel{\stackrel{\textit{common difference}}{\downarrow }}{\cfrac{1}{2}}

mason used 1/6 of a gram of honey to make 1/12 of a pan of pudding. how many grams of honey are needed to make a full pan of pud
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

2 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

1/12 goes into 1 (representing a full pan) 12 times. This means that 12 spoons of the 1/6 grams are needed to make a full pan of pudding. So, you multiply 12 by 1/6, and that results in 2 grams. You need to have 2 grams of honey to make a full pan of pudding.

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation : 

           (a)/(a^2-16)+(2/(a-4))-(2/(a+4))=0

<span> 3.1 </span>     Factoring: <span> a2 - 16</span> 

Theory : A difference of two perfect squares, <span> A2 - B2  </span>can be factored into <span> (A+B) • (A-B)

</span>Proof :<span>  (A+B) • (A-B) =
         A2 - AB + BA - B2 =
         A2 <span>- AB + AB </span>- B2 = 
        <span> A2 - B2</span>

</span>Note : <span> <span>AB = BA </span></span>is the commutative property of multiplication. 

Note : <span> <span>- AB + AB </span></span>equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression.

Check : 16 is the square of 4
Check : <span> a2  </span>is the square of <span> a1 </span>

Factorization is :       (a + 4)  •  (a - 4)

   Left_M = L.C.M / L_Deno = 1

   Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = a+4

Making Equivalent Fractions :

<span> 4.3 </span>     Rewrite the two fractions into<span> equivalent fractions</span>

Two fractions are called <span>equivalent </span>if they have the<span> same numeric value.</span>

For example :  1/2   and  2/4  are equivalent, <span> y/(y+1)2  </span> and <span> (y2+y)/(y+1)3  </span>are equivalent as well. 

To calculate equivalent fraction , multiply the <span>Numerator </span>of each fraction, by its respective Multiplier.

<span> L. Mult. • L. Num. a —————————————————— = ————————————— L.C.M (a+4) • (a-4) R. Mult. • R. Num. 2 • (a+4) —————————————————— = ————————————— L.C.M (a+4) • (a-4) </span>Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

<span> 4.4 </span>      Adding up the two equivalent fractions 
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

      Least Common Multiple:

Calculating Multipliers :

<span> 5.2 </span>   Calculate multipliers for the two fractions 


    Denote the Least Common Multiple by  L.C.M 
    Denote the Left Multiplier by  Left_M 
    Denote the Right Multiplier by  Right_M 
    Denote the Left Deniminator by  L_Deno 
    Denote the Right Multiplier by  R_Deno 

   Left_M = L.C.M / L_Deno = 1

   Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = a-4

Making Equivalent Fractions :

<span> 5.3 </span>     Rewrite the two fractions into<span> equivalent fractions</span>

<span> L. Mult. • L. Num. (3a+8) —————————————————— = ————————————— L.C.M (a+4) • (a-4) R. Mult. • R. Num. 2 • (a-4) —————————————————— = ————————————— L.C.M (a+4) • (a-4) </span>Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

<span> 5.4 </span>      Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the <span>denominator, </span>Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

a+16 ——————————— • (a+4)•(a-4) = 0 • (a+4)•(a-4) (a+4)•(a-4)

Now, on the left hand side, the <span> (a+4) •</span> (a-4)  cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :
   a+16  = 0

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

<span> 6.2 </span>     Solve  :    a+16 = 0<span> 

 </span>Subtract  16  from both sides of the equation :<span> 
 </span>                     a = -16 

One solution was found :

                  <span> a = -16</span>

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

the answer is \sqrt{5\\} , and - \sqrt{5\\} which is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

well I got that answer by doing this

we have x^{2}= 5

For x^{2}= f (a) the solutions are x = \sqrt{f(a)\\} , - \sqrt{f(a)\\}

so in this case the solutions are \sqrt{5\\}, and - \sqrt{5\\}

HOPE THIS HELPS :)
