Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the numerator and y represent the denominator.

The numerator of a rational number is greater than its denominator by 3. It means that

x = y + 3

If the new number becomes 13/4 when the numerator is tripled and the denominator is decreased by 23, it means that

3x/(y - 23) = 13/4

Cross multiplying, it becomes

3x × 4 = 13(y - 23)

12x = 13y - 299- - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = y + 3 into equation 1, it becomes

12(y + 3) = 13y - 299

12y + 36 = 13y - 299

13y - 12y = 36 + 299

y = 335

x = y + 3 = 335 + 3

x = 338

The original number is 338/335

Find the gradient of the line segment between the points (-4,-5) and (2,-4).

Answer:

   1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

The gradient of the line segment is the same as slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = ( -4 - -5)/( 2 - -4)

   = (-4+5)/( 2 +4)

   1/6

Given: g(x) = Vx – 4 and h(x) = 2x – 8.<br> What is g(h(10))?
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

g(h(10)) = 43

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: g(x) = 4x – 4 and h(x) = 2x – 8.

We are to find g(h(10))

First we need to get g(h(x))

g(h(x)) = g(2x-8)

Replace x in g(x) with 2x-8 as shown:

g(2x-8) = 4(2x-8)-4

g(2x-8)= 8x-32-5

g(2x-8) = 8x-37

Hence g(h(x)) = 8x-37

g(h(10)) = 8(10)-37

g(h(10)) = 80-37

g(h(10)) = 43

Hence g(h(10)) is 43

What number must be added to the expression below to complete the square? x^2-9x
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

A.81/4

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-9x

This is in the form x^2 + bx

To complete the square, we take b/2  then square it and add it

b =-9

b/2 = -9/2

(b/2) ^2 = (-9/2) ^2 = 81/4
