Answer:

\frac{1}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

The satellite has 30 modular units.

There are equal numbers of non-upgraded sensors in each unit.

Let us assume that on the entire satellite there are x numbers of upgraded sensors.

Then as per the given condition, there are \frac{x}{5} number of non-upgraded sensors in one unit.

Therefore, the number of non-upgraded sensors on the entire satellite is \frac{30x}{5} =6x

Hence, total number of sensors in the satellite is (x+ 6x) =7x

Therefore, the required fraction of the upgraded sensors is \frac{x}{7x} =\frac{1}{7}. (Answer)

F(x)=x^2-2.g(x)=4x-2
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x²-2

g(x) = 4x-2

f.g(x)= x²-2(4x-2) = x²(4x-2)-2(4x-2) = 4x³-2x²-8x+4

f.g(x) =  4x³-2x²-8x+4

Jerry hears 5 case ever 2 3/8 hours Jerry hears a constant rate how many case does Jerry hear per hour
irakobra [83]

Answer:

The rate of cases is \frac{40}{19} per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given

Total number of cases =5

total time is

=2\frac{3}{8} hour

we can simplify it

total time is

=\frac{2\times 8+3}{8} hour

=\frac{19}{8} hour

we can use formula

rate of cases = ( total number of cases)/( total time)

now, we can plug values

Rate of cases is

=\frac{5}{\frac{19}{8} }

=\frac{40}{19}
