Mathematics
1 answer:
WARRIOR [948]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

3/14

Step-by-step explanation:

5/7 minus 1/2 is 5/7 - 1/2

5/7 and 1/2 are both called proper fractions. 5 and 1 in each fraction are called the numerator while 7 and 2 are called denominators

5/7 - 1/2

Step one

Find the lowest common multiple (LCM) of the denominators of each fractions

Multiples of 7

7 x 1 = 7

7 x 2 = 14

7 x 3 = 21

Multiples of 2

2 x 1 = 2

2 x 2 = 4

2 x 3 = 6

2 x 4 = 8

2 x 5 = 10

2 x 6 = 12

2 x 7 = 14

The lowest common multiple of 2 and 7 is 14

Step 2

The LCM of 2 and 7 becomes the common denominator for both fractions.

14/7 = 2

14/2 = 7

5/7 - 1/2 = [2(5) - 7(1)]/14 = (10 - 7)/14

= 3/14

Find the range of the given function y = 5x - 4, where x > 6.
statuscvo [17]

Given:

The function is:

y=5x-4

where x>6.

To find:

The range of the given function.

Solution:

Range is the set of output values.

We have, x>6. It means the value of x is greater than 6 but not equal to 6.

The function is

y=5x-4

Putting x=7, we get

y=5(7)-4

y=35-4

y=31

Putting x=8, we get

y=5(8)-4

y=40-4

y=36

Putting x=9, we get

y=5(9)-4

y=45-4

y=41

So, the range of the given function is {31, 36, 41...}.

Therefore, the correct option is B.
