Rafael wanted to order half a medium pizza at a restaurant. The waiter told him that a medium pizza could be cut into 6 or 8 sli

ces. Would he prefer 3 out of 6 or 4 out of 8 slices? Rafael replies that he isn’t very hungry, he would prefer 3 out of 6 slices. Explain what is wrong with Rafael’s reason?

Answer:

The wrong in Rafael reason is that 3/6 = 4/8 = 1/2 pizza

Step-by-step explanation:

* <em>Lets explain how to solve the problem</em>

- When we have a quantity we can divided it to many equivalent

 fractions

- Equivalent fractions means fractions equal each other

- We can find the equivalent fraction by multiply or divide the two

 terms of the fraction by the same number

- Ex: We can divide a circle into two equal parts each part is 1/2 the

 circle, if we multiply each term of the fraction by 2 (up and down)

 then we will have 2/4 which is equivalent to 1/2 the circle

- Then we can divide the circle by 2 parts with many equivalent fractions

 1/2 = 2/4 = 3/6 = ..................

* <em>Lets solve the problem</em>

- Rafael wanted to order half a medium pizza

- The medium pizza could be cut into 6 or 8 slices

∵ The half of 6 is 3/6

∵ The half of 8 is 4/8

- <em>Lets simplify the two fraction</em>

∵ 3/6 = 1/2 by dividing up and down by 3

∵ 4/8 = 1/2 by dividing up and down by 4

∴ There is no difference between the two orders, both of them

   equal half the pizza

∴ The wrong in Rafael reason is that 3/6 = 4/8 = 1/2 pizza

Part A: Create a third-degree polynomial in standard form. How do you know it is in standard form? (5 points)
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

(See explanation for further details)

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Let consider the polynomial p(x) = 5\cdot x^{3} +2\cdot x^{2} - 6 \cdot x +17. The polynomial is in standards when has the form p(x) = \Sigma \limit_{i=0}^{n} \,a_{i}\cdot x^{i}, where n is the order of the polynomial. The example has the following information:

n = 3, a_{0} = 17, a_{1} = -6, a_{2} = 2, a_{3} = 5.

b) The closure property means that polynomials must be closed with respect to addition and multiplication, which is demonstrated hereafter:

Closure with respect to addition:

Let consider polynomials p_{1} and p_{2} such that:

p_{1} = \Sigma \limits_{i=0}^{m} \,a_{i}\cdot x^{i} and p_{2} = \Sigma \limits_{i=0}^{n}\,b_{i}\cdot x^{i}, where m \geq n

p_{1}+p_{2} = \Sigma \limits_{i=0}^{n}\,(a_{i}+b_{i})\cdot x^{i} + \Sigma_{i=n+1}^{m}\,a_{i} \cdot x^{i}

Hence, polynomials are closed with respect to addition.

Closure with respect to multiplication:

Let be p_{1} a polynomial such that:

p_{1} = \Sigma \limits_{i=0}^{m} \,a_{i}\cdot x^{i}

And \alpha an scalar. If the polynomial is multiplied by the scalar number, then:

\alpha \cdot p_{1} = \alpha \cdot \Sigma \limits_{i = 0}^{m}\,a_{i}\cdot x^{i}

Lastly, the following expression is constructed by distributive property:

\alpha \cdot p_{1} = \Sigma \limits_{i=0}^{m}\,(\alpha\cdot a_{i})\cdot x^{i}

Hence, polynomials are closed with respect to multiplication.

the coordinates of a pentagon ABCDE are A(-5,4),B (1,4),C(1,-1), D(-2,-5) and E(-5,-1) what is the perimeter of the pentagon
kogti [31]
Perimeter is a continuous line forming the boundary of a closed geometrical figure. perimeter of a pentagon = AB+BC+CD+DE+EA (that is 5 sided figure) 
so my plan is easy but effective, calculate all those distances using those coordinates with the aid of distance formular. then you add those distances algebraically .

Please answer this question
makvit [3.9K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the properties of logarithms, the left side of the equation becomes

\log{3x^3} - \log{x^2} = \log{3x}

while the right hand side becomes

\log{27} - \log{x} = \log{\frac{27}{x}}

so we end up with

3x^2 =27 \Rightarrow  x = 3

Determine the constant of variation for the direct variation given.
Flura [38]
The formula is y= k x  where k is the constant of variation, so plug a coordinate in the formula to find value of k, lets get (3,12) you have 12 = 3k, then k = 4, if you get (9,36) then you have 36 = 9k where k = 4
