Answer:

127/12 = 10 7/12

Step-by-step explanation:

convert mixed fractions into improper fractions

6¾ =[(6×4)+3]/4 = 27/4

3 5/6 = [(6×3)+5]/6 =23/6

sum up the fractions

we get

(27/4)+(23/6)

= (81+46)/12. LCM is 12

= 127/12

divide 127 with 12

the remainder is 7, quotient is 10 and the

divisor is 12

we get the mixed fraction

10 7/12

MatroZZZ [7]
We have that
x²<span>-6x+7=0
</span>Group terms that contain the same variable
(x²-6x)+7=0
Complete the square  Remember to balance the equation
(x²-6x+9-9)+7=0
Rewrite as perfect squares
(x-3)²+7-9=0
(x-3)²-2=0
(x-3)²=2
(x-3)=(+/-)√2
x=(+/-)√2+3

the solutions are
x=√2+3
x=-√2+3

You have 100 cm of string which can be cut in one place (or not cut at all) and then formed into a circle and a square (or just
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

44cm for minimum area and 0 for maximum area (circle)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's C be the circumference of the circle and S be the circumference of the square. If we cut the string into 2 pieces the total circumferences would be the string length 100cm.

S + C  = 100 or S = 100 - C

The side of square is S/4 and radius of the circle is \frac{C}{2\pi}

So the area of the square is

A_S = \frac{S^2}{4^2} = \frac{S^2}{16}

A_C = \pi\frac{C^2}{(2\pi)^2} = \frac{C^2}{4\pi}

Therefore the total area is

A = A_S + A_C = \frac{S^2}{16} + \frac{C^2}{4\pi}

We can substitute 100 - C for S

A = \frac{(100 - C)^2}{16} + \frac{C^2}{4\pi}

A = \frac{100^2 - 200C + C^2}{16} + \frac{C^2}{4\pi}

A = 625 -12.5C + \frac{C^2}{16} + \frac{C^2}{4\pi}

A = 625 -12.5C + C^2(\frac{1}{16} + \frac{1}{4\pi})

To find the maximum and minimum of this, we can take the first derivative and set that to 0

A^{'} = -12.5 + 2C(\frac{1}{16} + \frac{1}{4\pi}) = 0

C(\frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{2\pi}) = 12.5

C \approx 44 cm

If we take the 2nd derivative:

A^{''} = \frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{2\pi} > 0

We can see that this is positive, so our cut at 44 cm would yield the minimum area.

The maximum area would be where you not cut anything and use the total string length to use for either square or circle

if C = 100 then A_C = \frac{C^2}{4\pi} = \frac{100^2}{4\pi} = 795.77 cm^2

if S = 100 then A_S = \frac{S^2}{16} = \frac{100^2}{16} = 625 cm^2

So to yield maximum area, you should not cut at all and use the whole string to form a circle
