Answer:

Equivalent fractions and ratios mean that when simplified, they are the same one fraction or ratio. see examples below.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, the fraction 1/2 is the same as 2/4 or 15/30 because when you simplify them, they are still 1/2. Therefore they are equivalent.

For example, the ratio 1:2 is the same as 5:10 or 10:20 since when broken down they all come down to 1:2. Hence they are equivalent.

Hope this answers your question.

$10^2-48:6+25*3=100-8+75=167$

11)

$8(\frac{16}{4} )+2^2-11*3=32+4-33=3$

12)

$(\frac{6}{3} +4)^2:4*7=(2+4)^2:4*7=6^2:4*7=36:4*7=9*7=63$

13) (your answer is incorrect)

$5(9-4)^2-3^2=5*5^2-3^2=5*25-9=125-9=116$

14) (your answer is incorrect)

$5^2-2^2*4^2-12=25-4*16-12=25-64-12=-51$

15)

$(\frac{50}{5^2} )^2:4=(\frac{50}{25} )^2:4=2^2:4=4:4=1$

the graph of y=e^tanx-2 crosses the x axis at one point in the interval [0,1]. What is the slope of the graph at this point? I g

Svetlanka [38]

Y = e^tanx - 2

To find at which point it crosses x axis we state that y= 0

e^tanx - 2 = 0
e^tanx = 2
tanx = ln 2
tanx = 0.69314
x = 0.6061

to find slope at that point first we need to find first derivative of funtion y.

y' = (e^tanx)*1/cos^2(x)

now we express x = 0.6061 in y' and we get:
y' = k = 2,9599
