It's basic subtraction. you subtract 7 1/8 with 4 4/8 by turning one of the one from the seven to 8/8 and add that to 1/8 so you get 9/8. Then 6 9/8 - 4 4/8 = 2 5/8.

Which inequality is true when
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

If we use the calculator will find out that x= √151/2 ≈ 6.1441

D. 6 < x < 7

x is less then 7 and greater than 6

Without the calculator you can think that 151 is almost 144 that is 12² so

we can approximate √151 to be a bit more then 12

√151/2 = a bit more then 12 /2 = 6 and a bit more

A 3 kg toy car rests st the top of a 0.45 meter ramp. What is its gravitational potential energy?
salantis [7]
<span>gravitational potential energy : P
Gravity : g
Mass : m
height : h

P = mgh  = 3 x 9.8 x 0.45 = 13.23 Joule

Potential energy is work , from the known formula

W = Fd ( work = force x distance ) 

W = P ( in case of potential energy height change)

F is the force acting on the body in case of ideal ramp , the only force acting is the weight of the body

F = mg ( not just <m> as the force is mg (Newton) gravity effect)

d is the displacement in direction of force, as we have considered the force to be the weight not it's component in direction of the ramp , the change in displacement is the change in height so

d = h 

W = Fd = (F = mg) x (d = h) = mgh 

W = mgh = P

Write as a product of two polynomials.<br> (x-y)^2-a(y-x)
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

(x-y) (a+x-y)

Step-by-step explanation:

(y-x)=-(x-y)

-a(y-x) = a(x-y)

(x-y)^2 = (x-y)(x-y)

(x-y)(a + x - y)
