No. The product of a whole number and a decimal number less than 1 will be greater than the whole number multiplied into. For this theorem to be proven. Let us state the mathematical expression into numbers such that <span><span>
1. </span><span> N x 0.1 = N/0.1 < N</span></span> <span><span>
2. </span> 1 x 0.5 = 0.5 </span> <span><span>
3. </span><span> 2 x 0.1 = 0.2</span></span> <span><span>
4. </span><span> 100 x 0.55 = 55</span></span>

These three examples and stances then suggest the claim that the product is not equal to the whole number used in the equation.

Let a, b, c, and d be non-zero real numbers. If the quadratic equation ax(cx + d) = -b(cx+d) is solved for x, which of the follo

LiRa [457]

Answer:

Option d

Step-by-step explanation:

given that a, b, c, and d be non-zero real numbers.

$ax(cx + d) = -b(cx+d) \\acx^2+x(ad+bc)+bd =0$

we can factorise this equation by grouping

$(acx^2+xad)+)xbc+bd) =0\\ax(cx+d) +b(cx+d) =0\\(ax+b)(cx+d) =0$

Equate each factor to 0 to get

$x=\frac{-b}{a} , \frac{-d}{c}$

Ratio of one solution to another would be

$\frac{-b}{a} / \frac{-d}{c} \\=\frac{ad}{bc}$

So ratio would be ad/bc

Out of the four options given, option d is equal to this

So option d is right

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

the number of kilometers hiked in all is $\frac{29}{21}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the number of kilometers hiked in all is shown below:

= Erwin + Jericho

$= \frac{5}{7} + \frac{2}{3}\\\\= \frac{15 + 14}{21} \\\\= \frac{29}{21}$

Hence, the number of kilometers hiked in all is $\frac{29}{21}$

What is the equation of a line with a slope of -3 and a y-intercept of 4

ratelena [41]

Answer:

y = -3x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

Note that: m = slope

y- intercept = b

m = slope = -3

y-intercept = b = 4

Plug in the corresponding number to the corresponding variables:

y = mx + b

y = -3x + 4 is your answer.
