<span>5 1/6 x 1/3
</span>first convert 5 1/6 (which is a mixed fraction) into an improper fraction ...
=> 6*5+1/6 = 31/6
=>now we have ... 31/6 * 1/3
=> to multiply fractions we multiply the numerators ( top numbers ) with each other and the denominators (bottom numbers ) also the same way ...
=> 31/6 * 1/3 => 31*1 / 6*3 => 31/18
=> then divide them to get answer as mixed fraction ..
=> 1 13/18 ..

<span>3 1/2 / 1 1/3
</span>=> here also first convert 3 1/2 and 1 1/3 into improper fractions ..
=> 3 1/2 => 2*3+1/2 => 7/2
=> 1 1/3 => 3*1+1/3=> 4/3
=> now divide them ..
=> 7/2/4/3
=> for dividing fractions we take the reciprocal of one fraction and then multiply ..
=> 7/2 * 3/4
=> now multiply these two fractions ..
=> 7*3/2*4 => 21/8
=> answer as mixed fraction = 2 5/8 ...

Hope it helps !!!

The discriminant for the equation f(x)=6x^(2)-x+c is 73. What is the value of c?

Andrews [41]

Answer:

c = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

The discriminant is 73, that means we have:

(-1)^2-4*6*c=73

then: 1-24c=73

or -24c= 73 -1

-24c = 72

Then c = 72/-24= -3

The answer is -3

Hope that useful for you.

Apply the distributive property to create an equivalent expression.

weqwewe [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{The distributive property:}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}(10x+20y+10z)=\dfrac{1}{2\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}\cdot10\!\!\!\!\!\diagup^5x+\dfrac{1}{2\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}\cdot20\!\!\!\!\!\diagup^{10}y+\dfrac{1}{2\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}\cdot10\!\!\!\!\!\diagup^5z\\\\=5x+10y+5z$
