Answer:

$\dfrac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given 2 fractions.

1st fraction is Negative StartFraction 3 over 8

i.e.

$-\dfrac{3}{8}$

2nd fraction is negative one-fourth

i.e.

$-\dfrac{1}{4}$

We have to find the quotient when 1st fraction is divided by 2nd fraction.

<u>Definition</u> of quotient is given as:

Quotient is the result obtained when one number is divided by other number.

$-\dfrac{3}{8} \div -\dfrac{1}{4} \text{ is to be calculated.}$

$\div$ is converted to $\times$ and the 2nd fraction is reversed i.e.

if the fraction is $\frac{p}{q}$ it becomes $\frac{q}{p}$ and the sign $\div$ is changed to $\times$ .

Solving above:

$-\dfrac{3}{8} \times -\dfrac{4}{1}\\ \text {Multiplication/Division of 2 negative number gives a positive number}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{2}$

So, the quotient is $\frac{3}{2}$ .

I need help on 9 and 10 plz help me asap

Svetllana [295]

9: 1/2e=1/4
Multiply the reciprocal of 1/2 (2/1) to 1/4
The answer is e= 1/2 (simplified)
10:2/5g=3/5
same as last question multiply the reciprocal of 2/5 (5/2) to 3/5
The answer is 3/2=e

Hope this helps, and brainliest please :D <span />

Answer:

for a a) {(1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (2, 3), (2, 4), (3, 4)}

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc}0&1&1&1\\0&0&1&1\\0&0&0&1\\0&0&0&0\end{array}\right]$

for b

b) {(1, 1), (1, 4), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 1)}

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&0&0&1\\0&1&0&0\\0&0&1&0\\1&0&0&0\end{array}\right]$

for d d) {(2, 4), (3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 4)}

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc}0&0&0&0\\0&0&0&1\\1&1&0&1\\0&0&0&0\end{array}\right]$

Step-by-step explanation:

in matrix, arrays are placed in rows , which represents the horizontal sides from left to right, while arrays in the column are placed vertically from top to bottom. Here, we placed the arrays in a 4x4 matrix

for a a) {(1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (2, 3), (2, 4), (3, 4)}

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc}0&1&1&1\\0&0&1&1\\0&0&0&1\\0&0&0&0\end{array}\right]$

for b

b) {(1, 1), (1, 4), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 1)}

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&0&0&1\\0&1&0&0\\0&0&1&0\\1&0&0&0\end{array}\right]$
