Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer: Yes, (8 1/2) /`17 = ( 17 11/12) /23

** I think you meant 11 1/2 is to 23 NOT 17 11 1/2 is to 23"

Discussion:

First, 8 1/2 = 17/2 and

(17/2 ) / 17 = 1/2

Second 11 1/2 = 23/2 and

(23/2)/ 23 = 1/2

IN other words, the ratiors are the same:

8 1/2 11 1/2

------- = -------

17 23

Thank you,

MrB

Write a quadratic equation with a integer coefficients with roots x= 1/2 and x=-4

Misha Larkins [42]

The quadratic equation with roots a and b is given by:

$x^2-(a+b)x+ab=0$

Here a=1/2 and b=-4.

So the equation is given by:

$\begin{gathered} x^2-(\frac{1}{2}-4)x+(\frac{1}{2})(-4)=0 \\ x^2+\frac{7}{2}x-2=0 \\ 2x^2+7x-4=0 \end{gathered}$

The quadratic equation is as shown above.

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

6 / .5 (same as 1/2)

or 6 X $\frac{2}{1} = 12$

Remember when we divide by a fraction we do the following

Keep it (the first number stays the same)

Change it (convert from a division problem to a multiplication problem)

Flip it (flip the fraction that we are dividing by over - this is called a reciprocal)

Find the value of x.

choli [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

By similar triangles, you get

3/BD = BD/7

BD^2 = 21

BD = √21

Now you use Pythagoras to get x

7^2 + BD^2 = x^2

49 + 21 = x^2

60 = x^2

x = √60
