\bf 0.444444444\overline{4}\impliedby \textit{and keeps on going}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\textit{let's say }\boxed{x=0.444444444\overline{4}}\quad \textit{ thus }10\cdot x=4.44444444\overline{4}
\\\\\\
\textit{wait a minute! }4.44444444\overline{4}\textit{ is really just }4+0.444444444\overline{4}

\bf \textit{but we know }x=0.444444444\overline{4} \textit{ so then }4+0.444444444\overline{4}=\boxed{4+x}
\\\\\\
\textit{wait a second! }10\cdot x\implies 10x=4.444444444\overline{4}=4+x
\\\\\\
thus\qquad 10x=4+x\implies 10x-x=4\implies 9x=4\implies \boxed{x=\cfrac{4}{9}}

you can check in your calculator.

anyhow, to get the "recurring decimal to fraction", you start by setting to some variable, "x" in this case, then move the repeating part to the left of the point by multiplying it by some power of 10, and then do the equating.

Hi guys . pls help me with this​
daser333 [38]

Step-by-step explanation:

The upstream speed is S / t₁, and the downstream speed is S / t₂.

If we say f is the speed of the fish in calm water, and r is the speed of the river, then:

f − r = S / t₁

f + r = S / t₂

If we say T is the time it takes to cross the river, then the speed perpendicular to the river is ℓ/T, the speed parallel to the river is r, and the overall speed is f.

Using Pythagorean theorem:

f² = (ℓ/T)² + r²

f² − r² = (ℓ/T)²

(f − r) (f + r) = (ℓ/T)²

(S / t₁) (S / t₂) = (ℓ/T)²

S² / (t₁ t₂) = (ℓ/T)²

(t₁ t₂) / S² = (T/ℓ)²

√(t₁ t₂) / S = T/ℓ

T = ℓ√(t₁ t₂) / S

Given the parent functions f(x) = log3 (5x − 5) and g(x) = log3 (x − 1), what is f(x) − g(x)?. . a. f(x) − g(x) = log3 (4x − 4).
grandymaker [24]
f ( x ) = log _{3} ( 5 x - 5 ), g ( x ) =log _{3} ( x - 1 ); \\ f ( x ) - g ( x ) = log _{3}( 5 x - 5 ) - log _{3}( x - 1 ) = \\ log _{3}   \frac{5(x-1)}{x-1}  = log _{3} 5
Answer: C ) f ( x ) - g ( x ) = log3 5
